George M. Wallace is selfoxplnnatory:
New Haven, Conn,
January 15. 1912.
Messrs. Special Commission on Taxa-
tion of‘ Certain Corporations: .
Gentlemen—d would reply ‘ to your
favor of the 10th lush, requesting my
opinion as,to any defects inthe pres-
ent laws of this state relating"; to the
taxation of corporations paying taxes
to the state, and especialiv with rel.
oreuce to steam and electric street
railroads as follows:
of ,s'rEAM RAILROADS.
It would suggest that these roads pay
to each town or city within which they
are in' part located. the regular town
or city tax rate, assessed upon other
real and personal property in the town,
upon all the personal and real prop-
erty that the railroad 11an in such
city or town. Its right of way can be
very closely valued by the assessors

easily assessed. All real estate own-
ed by telegraph and telephone com-
the same is situated. General owners

while railroad real estate situated hero
and used for railroad purposes pays
the state not over 10 mills and the
town or city nothing. '

These also should pay the towns in
which or through which they run, on
their real and personal estate in each
town the some tax as other owned
real and personal estate. The right of
way in this case. because the street
franchise is used in common with oth-
er public service corporations and with
private persons and vehicles,
so easily ascertainable as in thafcase
of steam roads. But principle of as-
sessing can in this case be worked
out. The supreme court of the united
States l‘dys it down that the value of
bonds and stocks less the value of
assessed real estate is in general the

Should'all‘this clip the tax wings of
the state. it can,“ course, as it'dld in
1909, lay a direct tax on the towns, .
which after all is the. most scinitlflcal.

in the matter of cleaning. the Snow
from the various cross walks and side-
walks of the city, they are pleased to
be in a position to report that the
rumor was entirely without founda~

in which they worked is heard on al-
most ev'ery side.
When the thaw began yesterday
(inlet Thomas motherland, under ad-
vice from Mayor Edward J. Finnegan
and the street department, cooperated
with that department by informing
,all storekeepers to clean their walks.
Street Commissioner 0. lrvins’ Bying-

upon his own initiative, got his force
of men out and soon had things nun»

but or course all of this could not be
given attention at. once. It is thought'
that the rumor or yesterday arose
from the fact than: the street gang

men worked. piling up the snow in the
streets and loading it onto flat cars of

thought necessary to :provcnt a flood
