 535, ,546, it was revealed today. The government brought action a month ago against P defendants, charging conspiracy between govern ment officials and two nationally l known financial organizations to de- fraud the government by represent : ing the alien-owned company at less than half their true value.
 In their reply today Hornblower and Weeks averred that as a matter of law the government was not en- titled to recover, that the sale price had been proven excessive. and that the enterprise was found 10 be de- caying when taken over Only care ful handling by the company brought about it's survival it was as serted.
 Besides the officers of Hornblowcr and Weeks, the government named as defendants the Chase Securities company of New York, A. Mitchell Palmer of Stroudsburg. Pa. former alien property custodian and later attorney general; Francis P. Gawin of New York, former chief of the bureau of investigation of the cus- todian: and Joseph F. Guffey of Pittsburgh, Pa, who was director of sales for the custodian.
 In their review. Sherman l.. Whip
 pie and E,hhu Root Jr.. counsel for the partners Of Hornblower and Weeks. declared that the plant at Springfield, Mass, was found in a measurable state of disorganza- ton" due to the abandonment of the plant hy the German president and other employes It was further al |, lcgcd that the business was even then falling away because of the abandonment of the lSe of magne- tos by automobile manufacturers and that the business had been in- jured by the hostile action Of the German manasc,uent

 In support of their claim that the government was not entitled to re- cover, counsel for Hornblowcr and Weeks declared title to property seized pursuant to the war measures of the United States government
 vested in the alien property custodi-
 an of the United States government and not in the plaintiff" It was 1 further alleged that the peace treaty with Germany further confirmed the sale. Counsel averred that the gov

 peab From Taxpayers SAY TOWN NEEDS MONEY

 Ulderpass Situation-Other ltems'

The board of assessors, occupied at the present time with estaphsn- ins the tax rate, are appealing to 1aSnayers to be fair in their appeals tc the board for low assessment. The board has been constantly ham, 1ered with personal appeals for as ,essment reductions.
 The members of the boam nave stated that the present rate IS useu in the assessment of all pieces or rroperty and that the land value or the property assessed is al hgured on the same basis, which was ln- xtalled by an outside organization after a complete study of the condl- tions of all property. Any appears made for a reduction would De based on personal apIraisal that would, of course. be Influenced py the owners ideas, they say.
 The board members are constant ]v being visited by property owners both at the office andAt thelr homes after office hours. As no one lh- dividual is responsible for the as- scssment or the rat charged, such action by property 'wners IS termed as intellectual and ,seless, tending 10 bother the assessols. Any questions reeardinc the assessment will be an- svered by the boly in session.
 Berlin's school system must be taken into saccoint in connection with the presenttax rate. it is stated Inv the officials. Approximately s1o0 a wear is spent n each child attend inc school in Berlin, fact that is often overlooled by the taxpayers who point to he deficiencies of the town instead the accomplishments that serve rsidents each day, the board stated
 With the recent improvements that have ,oeen inaugurated and with the ohers that arc needed the coffers of .he town must be re- n1cnished through taxation, it is argued.
