The first public meeting of the new

in the First District court room last
evening. The meeting was held to
hear questions on the present system
of taxation, and to listen to sugges-
tions whereby the present system
might be improved.
Judge James T. llubhell spoke of
the necessity of the assessors having
some way to know definitely just what
sort of axbulldlng was on each piece
of property. the frontage and depth
of the. land, and the general informa-
tion about everything taxable. He
stated that the only way to do this
is -to have a map for taxing purpOses.
which would give the frontage and
depth of the land, the character of
the building on the land and other
information which would assist the.
assessorsln their work. He stated
that Bridgeport and Stamford and
other nearby cities, have a city tnap
for taxing purposes. and that Norwalk
would never have a fair taxation un—
til such a system is instituted.

Body of Miss Abbie lreatuall Found

—-
The body of Miss Abbie Treadwell.
sixty years old, was found last night
in a swamp near her home. just over
the' \‘i’enton line. The throat was cut
and near the body were two butcher
knives and n grindstone. Miss Tread-
well had been missing from her home
since Sunday. and her body was dis-
covered by a searching party of
neighbors. it was evident that she
had carried the grindstone into the
swamp and carefully sharpened the
knives with which she cut her throat.
‘She was a member of an old Weston
family.
Miss Treadwoll. since the breaking
up of her family. had made her home
with Mrs. Columbus Bulkleyu Her
dog, which was a cross between a
setter and a pointer. and an insepara»
ble companion of the aged owoman,
disappeared with her Saturday. The
dog returned a ne, wet and bedrag-
gled, Sunday 11 ht. ’Early yesterday
morning it was let out and immediate-
ly plunged into the wildest and most
thickly wooded section of Weston.
Attelh'pts to follow it were futile.
Miss treadwell often of late has
expressed herself dissatisfied with life
and it is feared she has committed
suicide. In her trunk grab found a
letter directed to rFrank Gregory of
Norwaik asking that he take 'care 01
whatever property she might leave
and apportion it equally among her
relatives. Miss Tron well is a sister
of llamas Treadwetl, ‘ n for 0:1‘.

Campaign week opened with a
rush. last night. at the Barton Metho-
dist church. The lawn was prettily
decorated with electric lights, Japan-
ese lanterns. flowers, and shrubs. Ac-
cording to the colors used in decorat-
ing the booths. red, white and blue,
Darien is in favor of “preparedness”.
lMany novel ideas were advanced in
1 the effort to realise money enough to
pay the $7,000 mortgage on the church.
The most novel idea was the “Pos-
tum" Booth. where cups of poarum
were made and sold in place of coffee.
The miniature grocery was another
interesting feature of the lawn party.
In this booth nothing was scid‘exc.-pt
samples contributed by the large .‘d
manufacturers, such as the Shredded
thera' rBlue Label Ketchup Company.
The ice cream and strawberry short-
cnke booth did remarkably well, both
producta being sold out. The fortune-
telllng bboth was patronized by a num-
ber of petiole who were delighted with
the manner in which Mrs. William
Staffers told their fortunes. The many
other booths, including the candy
booth. Wolch's Grape Juice. and the
hotdog stands did u rushing business.
During the ‘whole evening, patriotic
aonga were played on u Victrola. The
members of the church hopevthut a
large attendance will be present. ‘to-
night. when Marvin holy will enter-
