Stamford Commission Studies
 Assessing Systems

Stamford. Nov. 17 Pl-The town tax commission with powers to make recommendations for new taxing plan, created by the 1927 legislature. inclines to favor the Bridgeport plan in 8, report filed to- day. The Bridgeport plan came out of what was called at the legsla- ture 'the Ripper bill"
 The Stamford commission makes it's report to the selectmen. Two recommendations stand out, one . for plan which will take taxing officials out of politics and the oth- CT calls for introduction of a modern system Of assessing, tax levy and keeping of records.
 The report says In part: The commission recommends that the selection Of taxing officials in Stam- ford be eliminated from the realIl Of politics through suitable legisla- ton at the next session of the leg islature; that authority be secured for a bipartisan board of taxation, the members of which shall serve without compensation, such board to be of four citizens Of Stamford, two elected by the voters Of the town and two by the voters of the city SO long as the dual form of gov ernment continues.
 These four citizens shall have charge of appointment Of assessors, board of relief and tax commission CT so that men capable Of discharg- Ing sufficiently the important duties of their offices shall be free from the necessity of electloneering 10 secure office through fear,of punish ment at the polls should the im- proper request for preferential treat ment be denied
 The commission further recom- mends that a complete reappraisal of all taxable property In city and town be made, that a modern sys- tenn or assessment Of property with adequate records be installed which will afford a scientifically accurate and equitable basis for making as- sessments.

In addition to allow F.upropean brOadcastcrs now operating on other frcquencies to change their wave lengths with out undue hardship, it was agreed to permit broadCastlng on frequen- cies between 150 and 1340 metres wave length for period Of one year after the ratification Of the convention.

Session Payroll
Less Than in 1925

Employees Of the twentieth general
assembly received $1,415 less in
wages than employees at the preced-
ing session, according to statistics
compiled by G. r. Very, chief clerk
Of the house.
In 1925 a total Of $1O,827 was p.,id
in per diem to legislative employees.
At the last session the expenditure
was $9,412. The reason, Very SAID,
is that there were fewer clerks at the
last session and no cloakroom attend
ants. Indexing and mailing of jour-
nails, which cost $7O2 at the last ses-
sion. cost only $475 this year.
The total cost of the session will
be greater, however, because the
journals were so per cent larger than
those Of two years ago and there
were 80 more bills to be printed.
Since only 100000 was appropriated
for the last session it is certain that
there will be = deficit, Very said.
The last general assembly appropri-
ated $l12,500 for the next session.

WOMAN SAYS
LOVER KILLED
HER HUSBAND
Man Found Beaten to Death
in New York HOme-HOmi-
eide Charge to Be Made

New York, March 2l-LR)-Mrs.
Ruth Snyder. 32, today asserted in
a statement to the police that Henry
Judd Gray, now under arrest in SYRIA
cuse, had murdered her husband, AL
bert Snyder, art editor Of u maga-
zine, in order that he might be free
to marry her.
Press dispatches from Syracuse
said that Gray was under arrest in
that city.
According to the alleged confes-
sion, Mrs. Snyder said that Gray was
concealed in their home in Queens
Village when she, her husband and
their nine-year-old daughter, Lor-
raine, returned early Sunday morn
ing from card party.
Gray, according to the confession,
beat Snyder to death. and then wound
picture cord around his throat
After the murder Gray bound Mrs
Snyder in order to throw an aspect
Of burglary over the crime.
Wanted to Marry
Police said Mrs. Snyder had told
them she had known Gray for two
and half years, and that she want
ed her husband out of the way in
order that she might marry him.
District Attorney Newcombe said
that charge Of homicide would be
filed against Mrs. Snyder, but de-
clined to say what charge will be
placed against Gray.
Snyder's body was found early
yesterday morning by neiehbors sum-
moned by his daughter. The child
spread the alarm after being awaken
ed by her mother, who, bound with
picture wire and gagged with q
handkerchief in the hallway outside
the bedroom, attracted her daughters
attention by pounding on the door.
The Woman's First Story
The attack took place between
and $3.50 a. m., Mrs. Snyder said in
her first story. She lapsed into un-
consciousness when she was bound
by two giant men. she said, and re-
gained consciousness about five
hours later.
"They hit me over the head and
tied me up" she told ncighbors. 'I'm
afraid for Albert" Her injuries were
slight.
Snyder was found in his bedroom,
his face toward the floor, with his
feet bound by his necktie and his
hands by picture wire. A coil Of
wire was twisted tightly about his
swollen, torn throat, and napkin
had been pushed into his mouth.

PROJECT
/ OF PROBLEMS
NYE WILL STUDY
Improvement Proposal Would
Bring Worth Every Effort,
Says Junior Senator

Valley City, n. d., March 2l.-tP)
Active support Of the Missouri
river diversion project is planned by
Senator Gerald p. Nyc when congress
meets again, he said today in an in
tervicw here. The junior senator
was en- route from Washington to
his home ut Cooperstown.
Nyc said that he will spend his
summer familiarizing himself with
several North Dakota problems which
he feels need treatment at Washing
ton, and the divesi0n project is one
of the first items on his list.
I'VE may be long way from the
realization Of this Dream he said,
but there will come day when
there uill be genuine room for its
consideration. ! think we ought all
to prepare ourselves for that day.
Millions of dollars are spent by our
government annually for projects far
less worthy than that concerning the
use of the flood waters Of the Mis-
souri,. The improvement which real
ization of this proposal would bring
to Devils Lake and the Sheyennc
river valley is worthy Of every ef-
fort which might be made in it's be-
half. | want to 20 thoroughly over
the ground which has already been
considered in engineering reports
Other Projects on List
Other projects on 'Nyes list for
investigation are the Roosevelt Ma
tional park project in the Bad Lands
and solution to North DakOta's In
dian problems.
"Many North Dakota counties in
II %n1 40
beginning to experience new bur-
den by virtue Of the dependence OF
certain Indians upon the county for
relief" he said. He predicted that
radical changes in the work among
the Indians may be expected in the
near future.
Nye said that the McNary- -Haugen
bill, or some similar piece Of legis-
lation. probably will come up again
in congress next winter and express
ed disappointment at it's veto by the
president. He said he will go t(
manner in which the Canadian gov
dian farmers in an effort to solve
the farm marketing problem there.
Scores Filibuster
VOicing regret at the failure Of
the deficiency appropriation and
public building bills to pass, Nye
said that the shameful filibustcl
carried by Senator Reed of Pennsyl-
vania and others interested in COW
ering up the tracks made by those
interests which saw fit last year to
spend as much as $3,000,O00 to buy
one seat in the United States senate
caused the failure. of these bills
Nye said he would give to the press
within few days statement re.
spending to one published over the
signature Of Congressman Thomas
Hall, second district, in which it was
alleged that Senators Nye and Fra.
zicr were responsible for the failure
Of the deficiency and public build.
ings appropriations bills.
