Mr. withers spoke on planners and
methods of caring for trees and
‘lledges. He advocated the plan of
lining all street trees put in the hands
of the citv park authorities. Streets
running north and south should be
planted with widespreudiug trees.
while those which run east ulld nest
should have higher and narrower
trees. He gave advice on the yearly
care of been and hedgcs and the
beautifying of home grounds.
Mr. Withers spoke emphatically on
the mistaken idea many had in record
to planting of young trees. He said
many would dig a hole for the tree to
be planted Just, large enough for the
roots, and put it in as they would set
a post. He said in planting trees
the hole dug should be a number of
feet lorgepthan the spread of the
‘l‘OOtl and the roots should be straight~
ened out not cramped and twisted
up. and good soil should be put in
the excavation after the free is set.

much faster, healthier growth. The
ends of the branches should always
be trimmed so as to aid the starting
of the root growth. V

ed the measure on the floor of the!
house by pbairman Mack. of the com-l

The state tax has littis popularltyi
in the house, and there is no great
likelihood of falorable ilcilou upon it

inheritance tax. and this meets with
the approval of the cdmmilfee on
finance, a sub-committee of which Is
now engaged in whipping tits measure
into shape for a favorable report. .
The proposition is for a graded In~
llelltsllcc tax ill connection with which
the hclrs file divide. into three classes
in stead of the two which prevail now.
At plescllt Connecticut, which has
levied an inheritance tax since 1890
exempts $10. 000 and levies a tax of ti
of 1 per cent. on inheritances which
pass to direct heirs, Ind 8 phr cent. on
those which pass to heirs outside the
direct II'IQ.‘ '
The new plan is to double the tax
on the direct heirs In the immediate
family of the teetstor, making it I- per
cent. but create a new class. to include
brothers. sisters nieces nephewrand
those. who while heirs of blood; for!!!
another family group. ; '
The tax on inheritances pIsailIg to
this group is planned to make 2 per
cent. and the tax on the heirs outside
the direct line will probably be In-
creased to 5 per cent. Only in the first,
clans is 310.000 to be exempt:- ill the.
other classes this is reduced to 81,000.
The present rate of Inheritance tax
rniscd about $278,000 in 1908 for the
stoic. It is figured that tile new scale
wculd raise at least an' average of
$500,000 a your.

How Taxicab Fares in Hartford Are
Computed.
The recent establishment of taxicab
lines in this city has proved a boon to
every one accustomed to the use of a
public vehicle of any kind, and to
many who were not in the habit of
using nabs before the arrival of these
mm little vehicles: but there still
seems to he a wide prevailing mystery
3 to the way in which fares are com-
uted and a surprising number of in-
uirles come. not only to the taxicab
offices but to automobile men in gen
eral all just what it costs to do this or
that in p taxicab. says the Hartford
Times. To meet such inquiries R D.
t (‘ D. Drltlou have prcpul ed the fol
bwing statement of how taxicab fares
no It: cued: 2
I The! I‘M computed upon the
mileage bus I‘ one oI two pas cu-
gors the min is 0 cents for the. lat
half mile and 10 cents for each litidl-
tVional riparier of amine. To illustrate
~‘—if you wish t9 go to the depot and
your house is a mile and a half from
the depot. the cab will come to your
house, IVVind after arriving there leil
turh'onpthe meter and you will have
to pay or the mile and a half from
your house to the depot, which would
be. for one or two persons. 70 cents.
‘.Now if there are three or more- per-
Ious In the cab the rate is computed
on ‘the basis of 30 cents for the first
third of a mile. and 10 cents for each
additional sixth of a III‘MIO that this
same trip. with three or four people.
would cost 90 cents. .~
I Any one wishing a taxicab by the
hour instead of by the meter, can rent
the cab that way for one hour or mule
It a time. Mr Instance: If yen had a
party of friends' in town who wished to
tee the city', and you wanted the. cab
for one or too hours' dIlve around the
