FORMER KAISER IS CELEBRATING
 75TH BIRTHDAY
Family Gathering Only at DOOrn-NO Toast Is
 Allowed in Berlin

Doorn. Holland, Jan 27-(UP)-- The former German kaiser. a little older, a little greyer, and with q few twinges of rheumatism to re- mind him of his 75 years, cele- brated his birthday to-day by ob- servances remeniscent of the old imperial days.
 It was 0 family gathering that greeted the squire of Doorn. Ills eldest son, the former crown prince, Prince Rupprechet of Ba- varia, the Duchess of Hessen and others who once gathered around the emperor's table at Potsdam, and tho eminent General August von Machensen, who was credited with some of Germany's most bril- liant strategy fin the field of arms. were among those present.
 The royal posts contained tons of presents and hundreds of bags of congratulatory messages and tel egrams. Oneof the most typically German" gifts was a wild boar, from the Black Forest.
 All available rooms in the vil- lage were taken by visiting nobil- ity, and an entire girls school was commandeered to make room for some of the visitors.
 The kaiser, at 75, has given up hope of returning to his own land. And lately, receiving reports Of the apparent break between the Nazis and the monarchist movement. he may have given up hope of seeing restoration of the dynasty.
 It is just over 15 years since he fled to Holland and settled down to the obscurity of this little town. It is q village where nothing ever happens" and where the most in- teresting topic of the day is "how many trees did Wilhelm chop down to-day?"
 Tree chopplng still is his most strenuous exercise, but It is only one of his exploits, for health is a fad with the one-tine kaiser.
 He is extremely careful about his health. And very much afraid of cold. Once he begins to feel a chill, he takes to his bedroom and can not bo moved until the last bacillus is vanquished.

It Is Doubtful That Any Changes Will Come in
 Valuation

Appeals from valuations placed on Waterbury property which during the past three weeks have been heard by the board of appeals. have been consider able. Indications are that there will be very few cuts allowed in view of the fact that the grand list, before the present budget was made up, was slashed considerably so as to take care of factories and others corporations which have been carrying on" for few years past so as to help out the city from the taxation point of vnew and not yet discourage property owners as a whole.
 The total number of appeals heard by the board of relief was between 300 and 400. according to the secretary of the board. During the next couple of weeks the main amount of time by the board of re- lief will be devoted to the question of deciding who needs relief and who does not.

Under the present law the motor
boats used for pleasure are entitled
to refund from the state gasoline

not entitled under the present law

not seem to me fair particularly
when the owners Of the boats have
nearly all suffered very consider
