Appropriation Slash
 Found to Be Mistake

Members of the special common committee which was ap- pointed at the regular meeting last night made the mistake of cutting an appropriation of $500 from an item in the budget of the police department. According to one of the councilmen. the item on cables was cut in its entirety when it should have been partially cut
 The committee which met yester- day afternoon had the opinion that the elimination of $l.660 for new traffic signals and an appropriation of $500 for new cables were not ne- cessary. IL was pointed out by off, cials of the police department today that cables are necessary fin sub ways.

J. E. Alice Declares Appraisais Are
 Far Too Low. Editor New Britain Herald. Sir:
 Feeling himself in duty bound to offer his advice to the city fathers in the matter of the increase in the tax rate the writer last night ss president of the Third Ward Repub- lican club called the attention oChe board of finance and taxation to the fact the land value assessments on Main street are too low.
 Between Elm street and East Ma in and Lafayette tho assessments total about $4,1O0.0no. An increase of about 50 per cent could and should be made.
 The gas station slts formerly owned by the Boyle Co. was reported sold at about $100,ooo. It was as- sessed at $Ss,ooo.
 A theater leased at $7S.oo0 net fixing or fair value about fss0,ooo was assessed at $316,o0o. the land rated at $1os.sno.
 Compare on the other hand . new house on Monroe street near Vance land assessed $1.0oo. building $4.S0o. The builder told me hts contract for the building was $6,0oo. Assessment 75 per cent.
 Assessments on old residences seem to average about 6S per cent ot recent selling value. What the percentage will be after a period of lessened activity may be imagined. Values of business property are relatively stable indeed fixed by leases for long terms. Proper increases on Main street. West Main and lower Broad street would. the writer believes. have rendered necessary little If any change in the tax rate. Yours truly ATITE
