 4 largo number of property own CTS who attended the meeting Of the real estate board yesterday after noon in tho offices Of the Bristol Realty Co, 10 listen to the discus sion by that body on tho nrw grand list recently prepared by tho board nf assessors and expected 10 hear tho list condomnol as being unfair came away disappointed.
 After q lengthy discussion the real estate board in it's entirety decided that the work as performed was q commcndable one anl the rcvalua- ton os appearing in the grand list 1 fair one to taxpayers living in thc first, second and third taxing dis riCts. X member Ot tho rehcf hoarl was present at yesterdays meeting, apparently with q view of getting the opinion Of tho real estate men. One subject which was discussed af some length by the realty mon was the matter Of economy in the administration of city affairs, IL was their idea that if this subject was i given the careful attention of the city council and the expenditures re- luccd 10 q minimum, the taxpayer i would not he called upon to pay any more taxes under the now l;sl with a reduced mill tax than he would under the old list with :ht present tax. They brought attention to inc fact that the city counci makes the appropriations to mec I1 he requirements Of the budget, an( If any Of the departments asked fo' mare money this year and the city fathers granted it, it would bc ncc"S' sary 10 raise more money throrgl tho taxpayers.
 The Real Estate Board felt that 'tho matter of landlords raising tho rents of tcncmcnts due to the fac' that assessment had been increased Twas unwarrantod and uujustiticd. fol iho reason that no one as yet, no i'Nti IIIt NlIS NOuIltll' HdH dHS uFlilI' itc knowledge as to the rate of mill. or what the taxes vii he per thous iand and that information will no he available until tho council meet
