 3. Declaring the Grand List of 1914 as the proper list to be used off taxation purposes.
 4. An injunction preventing the defendant City of Waterbury and its Tax Collector from collecting a tax imposed on the assessments and resulting Grand List made by the said AldrO Jenks.
 5. Such other relief in the premises to which the plaintiff may be entitled.
 Under the Second Count:
 6. Judgment under the prOvis- ions of Section 165f of the Gen. eral Statutes of 194l. which will reduce the value of the premises of the plaintiff for taxation pur- poses.
 :. Such other relief under such terms and in such manner and form as shall to justice and equity appertain. with costs.
 MT. Cassidy claims, through his at- torneys, that the proposed assess ments are erroneous and illegal and that the tax rate is erroneous and illegal"
 He also charges that the assessor dissuaded property owners from making appeals on said assessments and "unlawfully required appellants to make admissions in writing. He also charges the assessments as pre- pared by the George B. Horan Com pany, to be "permeated with errors of fact and law and could not have been arrived at without violation of the state statutes and decisions"
 He also charges that the assessor did wrongfully increase the as- on the plaintiffs property located on Leavenworth Street and the corner Of Willow and West Main Streets"

 MT. Cassidy said today that he felt his injunction was necessary for determination of the current con- troyersial assessment situation and said he felt the judgment sought by The Republican-American Co.,. on the tax rate was unsatisfactory and incomplete"

Food Beinq Shipped to CIO Workers
Caravan Co Reach Bristol Tomorrow To Ald Strikers

Bridgeport, Conn, Jan. 25--A caravan of automobiles carrying about two tons of food will leave the headquarters of United Auto Workers Local e77, CTO, at 10 a. m. tomorrow and go to Bristol where the food will be distributed to Auto Workers on strike against the New Departure division of the General Motors Corp.
 The caravan will include cars from New York state, where food collections were made for the Bris- tol strikers by fellow unionists.
 Tn Bridgeport food was collected from employees of the Chance vought Aircraft Company and the Metropolitan Auto Body Company, according to Mitchell Sviridoff, president of Local 877.
 Sviridoff said the food collections were conducted in response to an appeal circulated by the C1O State Council. He declared that a num- Der of CIO unions throughout the state are collecting both food and money for the Bristol strikers and for other strikers groups in need of help.
 The Bridgeport CIO leader said that contributions for strike relief also were beginning to come from people outside the labor movement.
 Sviridoff said:
 Public opinion is overwhelming ly behind labor in its fight to de- feat the attempt of Big Business to weaken unions and restore to Wall Street economic power over the lives of the American people. The huge advertising campaign conducted by industry in an effort to rally public opinion to its side has boomeranged. The enormous expenditure involved in this adver- tising campaign exposes the hypoc- risy of industry's claim that it can not meet the wage demands of unions. The public was quick to grasp the real significance of the full page spreads which run up to a cost of millions"

 No Early Complaints
 Getting back to earlier this morn ing when the city looked out and saw the snow. there were no com plaints of skidding ana sliding and falling and delays and slush and mud and all that sort of thing. There were open-mouthed exclama- tons of "ah" and "oh" as early riSers gazed upon the beauty of snow-covered trees and pretty scenes of babbling brooks aligned by a wall of cotton fluff.
 The branches of trees, bare and glum a few hours before. took on the majesty of a king in sabled robes as silhouetter by a br ght white background. they, as well as the fields and streams and pastures z md roads and homes and-and well, as far as the half-opened eye could gaze, looked like Hallmark Christmas card brought to life.
 An yes. it was beautiful sight as the dog next door dashed through the accumulated winter dew and scattered it in all directions before ne stopped at the door of his own masters cottage, demanded to be let in. was admitter and tracked that wonderful winter dew" across the living room rug. But it was still beautiful-the master wasn' t awake enough then to know and the mistress would clean it anyway Yes, all the dirt would come later it was still beautiful.
 Beauty ingers
 It was still beautiful as the Gher- mometer lowered about the 30 to 5 degree mark and the men on the citys snow blows flooded the highways and byways to get things rolling along smoothly for the rest of the day.
 And it was still beautiful as the early morning sun rose over the hills and deepened the silhouetted trees and reflected from the win ter dewed branches making a Rem brandt reproduction of Whistler's Mother On-law) Nature as she wrapped her white house coat over her beautiful limbs.
 Yes, it was still beautiful a little later as the sun, little higher in the heavens, began to melt the white fluff, and a slight breeze scattered the stuff in all directions and began to lay bare the once beautiful branches of the trees.
 Look In Retrospect
 Yes, it's still beautiful, even now, that Is if you close your eyes and look at it in retrospect-don't look out your window. though. If you co you see the white fluffy stuff turning grey at the temples and getting a little on the watery side. You'u see a motOTist stamp his foot and his lips will move swiftly in a curse to the powers that be as ne attempts to make the grade Of a slight incline with a snow covered car.
 And don't go outside either or maybe you'll see your fellow eltl. zens doing a little slipping and sliding: or perhaps you'l do a little of it yourself. YouIl even help to churn the winter beauty" into a mad mess of mud and slush that you'll track all over the kitchen floor and get inside your shoes when 1t rises above your rubber
 An yes. 1t was a beautiful sight but the beauty is gone, All thGs remains Is that klnk in your back from bending over with the shovel and that silent question on your lips: What ever happened to spFing?"
