that Wolcott has been unable to collect taxes on the dams but was unsuccessful.
 Power Company
 Democratic Aldermanic Leader Thomas P. Kelly, when Alderman Kingston failed to name the com pany and property he had in mind at his first suggestion for increas- ing the grand list, inquired whether Alderman Kingston meant the Con- necticut Railway and Lighting Com pany property. Regarding this, AL deman Kelly informed the board that assessors have been working on the matter for several weeks.
 Alderman Kingston said that the value of the water power does not appear on the city's tax lists and that the assessed value could be de- termined by its value to the ma chinery it operates, or net rental value, deducting valuation of the land occupied by the reservoir in the town where it is located. The Scovill reservoirs, almost entirely in Wolcott, Chestnut Hill, Cedar Lake, Hitchcock'S Lake and Scovill's dam, all serve recreational purposes, and whether they are taxable remains the problem of the committee ap- pointed by President Patrick M Perriello, as follows: Aldermen Kingston, William Kolbeck and Peter Griffin.
 Water Rates
 Recommendation by the board of works for increase of the city's min- imum water rates was adopted last night by the board of aldermen al- though several of the members of the board voted against the change
 The increases per year are as fol- lows: 5-8 mch meter, from $10 to SIP; 3-4 inch from SIP to $14.40; l inch from $15 to $19, and meters over one inch from $20 to $24. It was explained that these increases are for the minimum charges only and do not increase the bills if more water is used than would be billed at the minimum rate.
 Republican aldermen with the eX- ception of Thomas F. Bane, Burton H. Walker, Joseph Reiner and AL dermanic President Patrick Perri- clio voted against this proposition The Democrats voted for it.

A dispute between the manage ment of the Continental Baking Go. and the Truck Drivers and Helpers local, an A. F. of L. affiliate, led to a strike today at the company'S plant. Rudolph Tata, business agent for the union, said that seven men were involved. John Kurtz, manager of the local branch, said only four men of the fifteen employed took part in the walk-out.
 The strikers are route Salesmen, and the dispute rose over the dis missal of a union member. The union claims discrimination, while the company claims no discrimina- ton and that the dismissal was justified.
 MT. Tata today issued lengthy statement giving the strikers view point. He said that seven of Is eligibles were members of the union, and the union members acted against by the company and the non-union men. The dismissal oi the union member, he asserted, was unjustified, and he declared that the company has been unwilling to sub- init the matter to the state board of arbitration for a decision.
 MT. KurtZ, on the other hand, said the mediation board had been consulted and ruled that it was not a proper question for it to decide.
