FRUIT GROWERS REASSURED
BY TAX COMMISSIONER.

Legislature Will Probably Meet In
June.
Fruit growers in this section of
West Virginia who have been pro-
testing as politely and gracefully as
possible against the orders for val
uation of land at its true and actual
value were treasured at conference
with State Tax Commissioner Halla-
nan, of Charleston, who met a COM
mittee fro mthe state horticultural
society in Martinsburg last Friday,
and went over informally with them
the tax situation in West Virginia
and convinced them, it was generally
conceded after the meeting, that he
had made out case and there would
be no objections to the application
of his plans. Commissioner Halla-
nan supplemented his informal as
surances in a formal speech at a
post-meeting banquet of the fruit
men last Friday night in which he
assured the $50 growers present that
the purpose Of the revaluation order
was not so much to increase existing
valuations as to equalize the assess
ments. He further stated that the
state administration contemplates
convening the legislature in special
session in June, after the assessment
records for 1922 are complete, at
which time he will present the new
schedule to the houses with the in
creases indicated and recommend
|enactments which will place limit
on the levying bodies of the state
and counties and other agencies in
order to keep the tax bills within
what they were this year. He indi-
Gated further that he would recon-
mend steps towards writing a con-
stitutional amendment to the organic
law which would set $1.25 as the
total maximum levy for property
outside of municipalities and $1.5O
for property in municipalities.
While no formal statement was
issued after the informal committee
meeting it was learned authoritative
ly that the tax commissioner had in
dicated $500 as the base for assess
| ing orchards, that figure being &C.
ceped as the per-acre value of the
best bearing orchard and other
orchards being graded down accor.
ding to the standards which the as
SCISSORS have indicated they will use
1t was also indicated that orchards
under five years of age and still not
bearing would be listed only as farm
land, the value of which would be
determined by comparison with land
adjoining. Assessors will be in
structed to regard this general scale
in their valuations of orchard lands
in all the fruit counties in order that
discrepancies as between the differ
ent counties may be minimized, il
was said.

"The Bat" Coming

"The Bat", by Mary Roberts Rine- hart and Avery Hopwood, the most successful dramatic play by all odds produced in the past generation, will be presented at the Mahaiwe theatre on November by Wagenhals and Kemper. Those who are at all in- terested in the affairs of the theatre are familiar with the remarkable record made by "The Bat".
 For one entire year, "The Bat" has played to capacity audiences in New York. And it is still at it. For the same period of time, lacking only few weeks, another company pre- sented "The Bat' in Chicago where it broke every existing record for the length of a run and smashed all box office records for receipts. The play stands absolutely in a class by itself in point of popularity.

NEW METHOD IN
 HANDLING TOLL CALLS
s. N. E. Telephone Company Am nounces Change Effective
 November 1st

A time-saving change in the meth cd of handling toll line telephone calls will be put into effect by The Southern New England Telephone Company November l. Aside from good results in speeding up toll ser vice, this method takes the subscri- Der 'behind the scenes" so to speak, where he can hear, but not see, the work that is done to promptly put through his call.
 No change is made in the present method of placing a toll call. The toll operator is called in the usual way and this detail of the transac- tion is closed with the operator saying, "Thank you, MT. Smith, we will call you"
 But then enters the new method. MT. Smith in New Haven is calling 2-1234 in Hartford, let us say. The New Haven toll operator calls Hart ford, gives the number desired and the connection between the opera tors is maintained till the Hartford operator establishes that the line desired is not busy. Then she re- ports to New Haven that she is Ringing. The New Haven opera tor responds with the word Right and at once rings up the calling subscriber.
 If the calling subscriber answers before the called subscriber, the New Haven operator reports that the per son desired is being called and re- quests that the line be held. The caller then stays on the line while the Hartford operator continues her work on the call, leaving the cords connected. so that the calling party, who is holding the line, can hear all that is said by the operators and be- tween the operator and the station called.
 Of course, the new practice will not apply to calls on which a busy report is received and is not appli- cable to appointment" and some other classes of calls.
 It is well to know that by this method the person called, or the one calling, may be on the wire when you answer and is in position to hear all that is said.
 The new practice has been in use in an experimental way and has prov ed popular among telephone users because of the advantages they de- rive. They appreciate being per mitted to hear what is going on, are able to keep in touch with the pro gress of their calls, to immediately rectify errors in recording of names and numbers and to give further directions to the operators.
