 He is assessed for approximately S&3,O00, he said today. Although the report has been about that he will appeal to superior court if the board of relief does not see fit to reduce his assessment. he fail- { ed to confirm the report this morn. ing. Neither did he said that he would not make the appeal. He ex- tplained he was confident he would ,be given . reduction and that he did mot want to take any action until fthe occasion arises.
 2 MT. filling pointed out several cases where assessment was not large enough while in others the assessment was too large. He con- siders he is among the latter class.

He was warned by Judge George Griswold to he more peaceful in the future and his case was discharged.

 In a conversation with two promi. nent members of the town govern. ment this morning it was learned that when the plan is brought up foi discussion there will be considerable opposition from the conservative portion Of the towns population.
 The point is argued that the three districts of Berlin. East Der. lin and Kensington are not growing fast enough to require . new l2. room building. According to one of. ficial today. an addition of foul rooms on the present Kensingtor 'Grammar school would care for the present influx and for any increase which may come during the next few years.
