many things that must be accom-
plished have made this impossible.
Commander Byrd has decided that no
less than a year of foretholght and
attention to minute detail will be nec4
essary to reduce the hazards Of the
trip.
The general plan is to sail first to
New Zealand and from there to strike
out for the ice pack on the border of
Ross sea. After penetrating this ice
barrier he will set up his permanent
base near Discovery harbor, where he
plane and make number of test
flights. Two planes will be taken, one
/, large three-motOr ship, capable of
lifting $4,000 pounds and the other
small single-motor plane. Commander
Byrd will load the smaller plane with
six months supplies of food and spare
cans of oil and gasoline and fly 100
miles toward the South pole. If he
finds conditions favorable he will
land. set up base, take observations
ond load. Then by series of short
flights he will set down line of emer-
gency bases to within 400 or 500 miles
of the pole. From the last of these he
will make the long flight to his goal,
land if possible, and then return. IF
the trip to the pole is successful and
winter has not closed in, Byrd will
also make flights to the southeast and
southwest somewhere at the foot of
the great plateau. He will also skirt
the coastline, flying over thousands
and thousands of square miles never
before seen by man. If all Of his plans
are successful, for the first time in
history, the great Antarctic continent
will at last be charted and mapped.
Although the exploring will be done
mainly by the two planes, it is inter-
esting to note that equipment SIM
liar to that of previous explorers will
also be taken along. On his polar
flight Commander Byrd will carry q
sled, pemmican to last many months,
sleeping bags, oil burners, skis and
snowshoes, so that if he is forced to
land and abandon the plane he will
be able to trek back over the plateau
to the home base. 1t is for this rea-
son also that the food supplies will
be planted along the route to the pole.
And these are only few of the in
Vulnerable details which must be
thought of before the expedition sets
out. In this polar expedition, perhaps
the most important of modern times,
the margin between success and fail
ure will be very small. Nothing will
be left to chance and if adequate
preparation for every possible con-
tingency counts for anything the ex-
petition should be successful and
Commander Byrd, the first to reach
the North pole by air, will also be
the first to carry the Stars and Stripes
to the other end of the earth.

No further tax exemptions will be allowed To war veterans unless they have their discharge papers filed at the office of the town clerk. Every soldier iu service in time of war la entitled Co property exemption Of Sf000 In event that the property is n the name of the veterans wife the same exemption is allowed. \ recent statute enacted by the legislature makes it imperative that the discharge papers bo so filled if the exemption is to be claimed and allowed.
 No Appeals Allowed
 In the past it has been possible to secure such exemptions by simply satisfying the board of assessors that the property owner was a veteran. In most cases the assessors know of their own knowledge who are war veterans and have acted accordingly. However. each year since the World war. there has always been a number of World war veterans who have neg lected Co inform the assessors that they were veterans with the result that they have been taxed and appeals had to be taken to the city council to have such taxes abated. This re- quired special vote of the city eoun- eil and also required the city coun- cil Co pass a special appropriation m order to keen the tax records straight.
 Although the board of assessors meet throughout the month of Octo- Der to receive property lists from all property owners in the city these lists are made up as of October l and those who do not have their dis charge recorded by that time will not be en.itled Co exemption on the next grand list to be made up.
 There is no charge for recording discharges at the office of the town clerk.
