Additions to Factory valua- tions, But Few on Resi- dential Property-Small- CT Tax Rate Expected.
especial to The iieraldi.

Bristol, Jan. sO.--Incresse in the city's grand list Of s5s9.61s was shown today by the board Of assessors. mak- Ing a substantial addition to the city's income. The total grand list for the year amounts to s31 .30s.6s7. while the list of last year was s3D,717,04s. The greater part Of the increased amount has been made through the addition of new names 10 the taxing lists and 5ss new taxpayers are listed this year. Several additions have been made 10 factory valuations but very few in- creases have been made on the indi- vidusl residential properties. With this increase and the retrenchmcnt policy Of Mayor John r. Wade in force. the fears of an increased tax for the year are somewhat dispeilsd in the minds of many taxpayers who feel confident that reduction will take place. The city will need many new improve ments next year. according to some city officials. but with even those mat ters taken care of. the increased grand list indicates that the tax rate of s5 mills will be dropped a trife.
 Following is the list Of taxpayers on property. valued at more than iia.o0e in the city.s

IGRAND JURY REPORTS
 DR. J. W. BUSH MISSING
Claim Inability to Locate Local Physician, Wanted
 in Hartford Today

1 Hartford. Jan. s0.--Dr. James E. ! Hair. of 730 State street, Bridgeport, secretary of the examining board ot
 the Connecticut eclectic medical so- cIety, was in Hartford today as a vol-
 untary witness before the grand jury Investigating fake doctors in Connec-
 ticut. pr. Hair explained before he went to the jury room that his pur-
 pose in coming to Hartford was to get information if possible rather than
 give it.
 Dr. Hair made no secret Of the fact that it was in connection with the ex- animation papers of the eclectic board seized in the raid of the office of Dr.
 Robert T. AdcoN of St Louis that brought him to Hartford. These pa- pers were brought to Hartford from Missouri three weeks ago by Harry T. Brundige, reporter of the st Louis Star, and turned over to the grand jury. Ii was claimed that these pa- pers which were for the examinations held in July and November. 1922, had been in the possession of the Missouri diploma mill prior to the date of holding the examinations, and appli- eants for licenses in Connecticut had been coached in advance in the duss- tions that were to be submitted to them at the examinations.
 The secretary of the examining board declared again today that it Is his belief that these papers were not in the possession Of any one outside the membership of the examining board prior to the holding Of the eS- aminations. He reiterated a state- ment he had previously made that it would have been impossible for this to be so, as the questions were not prepared until just prior 10 the hold ing of the examinations.
 Dr. James W. Bush, of New Brit ain, who vas wanted by the grand fury today. was not located in that city last night and t was reported 10 inc iury today that it Is believed he had gone win his family 10 Anderson. Ind. Ur. Bush has been away from New Britain since before ChristmHs. but it is not understood that he has removed his office or usoheid furni- ture from the city.

Little is known here of smith as he came here last June through a New York employment agency, living for short time at the Regal hotel He was employed by the iron works up to January 19 and drew all the pay that was coming to him January 2i. He has not been at work since that time, and has not been at his room in Mrs, Peters for several days, The detective bureau is making an effort to locate relatives.
 The body was found on the railroad tracks last night by a section hand, evidently having been run over by the southbound Berlin train. It was bad ly cut up. Medical Examiner Water man Lyon was called and after view ing the body ordered it taken to the undertaking rooms Of Frank Brodzik. where 1t is awaiting relatives to claim it.
 The identity of the man was learn ed through brass check that was round in his clothing, which bore the number l95, and which was tho property Of tho Malleabe Iron Works.
 At the iron works, Smith was known as single man, and has been a steady worker since coming 10 New Britain.
