Judge Foster Denies
Remonstrance Move
City Loses In Attempt to Question Referees Findings
In Case Involving Taxes, Fines

Judge Carl G. Foster Of the SUI
perior court yesterday overruled
circumstances made against the
findings of the state referee in sew
eral cases which were brought be-
fore him. One of the cases in ques-
ton involved a dispute about assess
ment of property in this city, and
two others were concerned with as
sessmentS of damages made by the
state highway commissioner.
In the case of the Waterbury Cor
rugated Container Co., against the
city Of waterbury, the company first
brought action in February OF this
year in. regard to the assessment OF
its property on the corner Of Thon1-
aston and Huntington avenues.
According to the complainant, the
property formerly belonged to the
Beardsley & Wolcott Mig. Co..
which failed to make out list OF
its taxable property in 1889. The
property was then assessed by the
city at 5000 $50, Of which the land
was worth $29,350, and the buildings.
$4,000. The city also added 10
percent to this assessment, because
of the failure of the company to
file the list itself. In October, 1883,
according to the complaint, the
property passed to Daniel F. Ryan
BY foreclosure, and then to the
present owner, the Waterbury Cor
rugated Container Co.. by quit
claim. The company seeks reduc-
ton of the assessment, which 1t
claims is greatly excessive, and a
corresponding decrease in the IL
percent penalty.
The question was refereed to the
state referee for finding OF the
facts. but the city entered remon-
STRANGE to the report Of the referee
when it was made, and moved to
recommit the question to the referee
again for finding of further facts.
This. motion was overturned by
Judge Foster.
state Referee Banks found aftel
an investigation that the citys as
sessment ON the land was justifiable
on the buildings was "manifestly
excessive" and that the correct fig-
ure should have been $149,350. Judge
Foster, in oyerruling the city's re-
monstrance to this report, upheld
the view of the referee.
The next development in the cast
will be motion on the part of thu
plaintiff for a judgment in accept
ance of the referees report.
In the case Of Edward S. Andrews
versus william j. Cox, state high
way commissioner, the plaintiff APP

REFUGEE WORKERS

49,
Boston, Aug. S.-(UP)-Mrs. New
bold L. Herrick Of Woodmere, L. l.,
said today several Long Island FAM
iies who are caring for British child
refugees have received threats.
|, She would not identify the fam
lilies, or disclose the nature Of the

pealed in June of last year from an
appraisal of damages to his proper
ty in Prospect made by Cox, who
took some Of the land in order to
widen and improve the Waterbury,
Prospect road. Cox estimated the
damages at 1856, and Andrews
claimed that this was insufficient.
Andrews demonstrated at the report
of the state referee, but was over
ruled by Judge Foster, who said
that the report Of the referee SEEM
ed to be perfectly in accord with the
facts of the case, but that the points
of law concerned had still to be ar
gued.
A similar case is that Of Joseph
Neal, and others, against the state
highway commissioner. Neal Is the
owner of land in Prospect, which
was taken by Comsr. Cox, for the
Improvement of the Naugautck-
Prospect road, and the damages es-
timated at $225. Neal appealed from
this appraisal. He has Just remon-
strated against the report OF the
referee, but he, too, has been over
ruled by the judge.

Brooklyn Residents
Win long Fight For
Seasonal Safeguards
Erecting of Reservoir Near ThOmastOn Recommended
By Government Engineers As Curb For Frequent
Naugatuck River Rampages

Flood protection for Waterbury
and towns in the lower Naugatuck
Valley is provided in War DEPART
ment plans announced today. The
Board of Engineers for Rivers and
Harbors has submitted report rec
ommending the building of reser-
voir near Thomaston for the pro-
lection of Waterbury and other COM
munities. The same report declares
that flood protection for towns along
the Housatonic river and its tribu-
taries would be too costly and rec
ommends that requests for such ac-
ton be turned down.
The Army plan, if adopted, would
mean an end to the periodic Maui
gatuck River floods which have
caused great property damage in
waterbury and other communities.
The local Brooklyn section, in par
ticular, has been hard hit by sea
sonal floods almost every year, and
sometimes oftener, and residents OF
the area have long been seeking re-.
lief.
A city-financed flood control pro-
gram for the Brooklyn district was
worked out but was found to be
extremely costly! Congressman j..
Joseph Smith was called on for aid,
and through his efforts an Army
survey of the Naugatuck and Housa-
tonic River valleys.
The exact location of the reser-
voir near Thomaston and its esti-
mated cost are not given in copies
of the army engineers report re-
ceiyed in Waterbury today.
The Board of Engineers for Rivers
and Harbors announced today that
opponents of the Naugatuck River
flood control plan will be given an
opportunity for appeal. Opponents
have four weeks to ask for a new
hearing.
It is expected that detailed in
formation on the Thomaston reser-
voir and the rest of the food con-
troll program in the Naugatuck VAL
ley will be available for announce
ment soon by Congressman Smith.

BY T.. T. SHORT

Reading the list of pastoral as
signments for the year 1904 at
the Sunday afternoon gathering of
the delegates to the Pacific North
west conference of the Methodist
church brought the five-day meet
ing to close. A number of
changes were made throughout the
conference but in the Tacoma
Seattle district there were few.
The only important change af-
fecting Tacoma was the assign
ment of the Rev. Rudolph Ander-
son. for five years pastor of As
bury church, South Tacoma, to
First church, Aberdeen. The Rev.
Neal M. Jones, pastor at Aber-
deem, is assigned to Asbury. This
is one of a few last minute de-
cisions. II comes as surprise
to the members of Asbury church
as they expected that Rudy" as
he was Familiarity known in South
Tacoma, would be returned.
Other Changes
Two other changes were made
in the Tacoma area. The Rev.
Frank Haley. pastor at Orting, was
ordained deacon and assigned
to Hays Park church. Spokane.
The Orting station will be filled
by the Rev. l.. c. Schultz, former
ly of Sumner. The Rev. f. M.
Hill is transferred from Milton to
Vashon. The Milton church is to
be supplied.
The Rev. f. r. Attebury, stormy
petrol of the discussions on world
peace. was again assigned to
Grace Methodist church, Seattle,
where he has served IS years, a
record in the conference.
Compliment Tacoma
BY resolutions and expressions
of individual members Of the exec
utive staff the conference compli-
mented Tacoma on the conference
arrangements. Bishop Martin was
commended for his patience and
fairness as a presiding officer.
The College of Puget Sound. the
officials and members Of First
church, the Tao coma Methodist
union, Mrs. Harry Johnston. chair
man of q committee which sup
piled flowers for the decorations.
were thanked for their cooperation.
Special mention was made of the
officials and members Of the First
Christian and First Congrega tionsl
churches for their cooperation in
entertaining the membes of the
conference.
Fred Petersen, conference sec
rotary. especially commended the
Rev. Cyrus d. Albertson for the
splendid arrangements made for
the secretarial staff.
Ordained As Deacon
A feature OF the Sunday after
noon session was the ordination OF
the Rev. Frank Haley as deacon
and the comforting of elders orders
on the Rev. Harry L. Slick. Fol-
lowing his ordination. the six
