Protests against the proposed in-
crease of $20,000,0Q in its grand list
as announced by the state board of
equalization was heard by that body
yesterday at the Capitol. Mayor Jo-
seph H. Lawler led the remonstrators,
with Corporation Council John W.
Coogsn and Assessors Robert D. Bone
and P, Davis Oakey also present. They
told the board that the raise is too
great, inasmuch as the town assessors
increased the list $9,000,000 themselves
last year. They declared that they
had made provision. for a possible in-
crease of 818,000,000 this year, and
that a shortage of $1,500 will result
if the board sticks to its intention of
adding $20,000,000. The amount which
the state receives by the increase is
320,000, according to the i-mill tax
levied each \ear The board promis-
ed to take the objections under con-
sideration and reserved decision.
The (‘ity of Norwalk entered a pro:
test against a. proposed raise of $4, 000-lI

tion being in the nature of a letter
