The almost total ignoring of pro-
visions of a state law requiring the
filing of personal property, jewelry,
cash in banks, etc. is certain TO be
followed by the collection of heavy
penalty taxes by the state of Con-
necticut, in the opinion of members
Of the board of assessors, before
whom sworn lists are required an
nually.
Under the amended state law on
property list filing, New Britain is
the only city where automobiles and
real estate reports are no longer re-
quired. Items of personal property,
however, must be reported. The as

sydney. N. s., Oct. 8 Rt-The con-
viction that airplanes are not prac-
ticable for use In the Far North was
expressed by Commander Donald b.
Macmillan after the arrival OF MS
schooner Bowdoin here today on the
return from his Arctic expedition.

still many things he can do that
cannot be done by any other method
of transportation. AS the result OF
this trip am convinced that planes
are not practicable for the Far North
and that IL air transport is to be
used 1t must be the dirigible'
Planes Useful Elsewhere
"The planes will be useful In the
exnloration of the interior OF Laora-
dor and Baffin Land or. In fact, any
land south OF the Arctic circle. the
great difficulty with planes Is IN
landing. We had hoped to ma
landing places, but failed. 1t was
necessary always to land on the
water, No plane has yet been de-
signed with a landing speed OF less
than 40 miles an hour and to at
tempt landing on water strewn with
field Ice at such a speed Is sure de-
struction for the plane.
Had to Go Too High
"Then, too, In the overland flights

a height Of 1000 feet above the low
