Tax Commissioner Explains That

Your Only
The City of Norwalk Board of Trade
when notice of the increase in valua-
tion of the Town of iNorwalk was re-
wivad, took immediate action to as-
certain the true cause if possible.
The following communications are
seif-expla natory:
Norwaik Board of Trade,
Norwallt, Conn,
May 11,1912.
William H. Corbin, Tax Commission-
er, Hartford, Conn.
Dear Sir:—
ln your letter to the selectmen of
the Town of Norwalk giving notice on
an increase of $3,750,000 in the 1911
assessment list as proposed by the
Board of -Equiliution we note said
board will be in session on Thursday,
May 16. at 10:15 a. m., in room 59.
State Capitol, Hartford.
The Town is already assessed by
the state for over seaooonoo. while
the town assessment list goes bill. ”very
little over 820,000,000.
This increase on the state books
will raise the town‘s grand list to over
027,000,000, while the taxes are being
collected here on almost $7,000,000
less than Ithut amount.
Why this difference?
Am the town assessors lacking in
court, the prosecutor being of the'op-
court in vie“
stances at it.
The case ie a mixed up one from
start. to illlilh and while Carrie An-
“ is has beamed from

vious occasions. she had the sympathy:
of the com and her friends" a re-
sult of yesterday's cone.
As was told in these columns
yesterday’s lune of The 86ml, Car.
rte and Robert were arrested yester-
Adey morning at 5 o'clock by Oliver!
John H. Smith and John H. Mtbiil.
The arrest came about by reason of
the complaint made by the mother of
the girl and was affected while the
principals were sleeping in a house
in Pine street.

became knownthat' the your; couple,

service, the young people approached
Rev. tir. Gibbons and requested that. .
he marry them. To this as readily
acquiesced met being told ‘hnt they
had a legal license, issued by the town
clerk. The minister tool: the couple
to his home and with only a cursory
examination of the license started to
marry them. When about half
through the ceremony, according to
his glory, he happened to glance at
the license and saw that it had been
issued in Stamford. whereat,he clos-
ed his prayer book. and refused to
go on further with the eenemony. Alp-
parently he did not explain to the cou-
ple the-circumstance! of the cm at.

in error in morning that the lilch
‘ed grand list of Nbrwaht will be over

The proposed assessment that of
your town for 1911 will be $23,750,000.
The addition is necellhry in the
opinion of the Board of Equallutiou
to bring the value of the taxable pre-

the actual cash value" as provided in
section 2359 of the General Statutes.
and also to conform with the assess-
ment lists of other towns.
