AN OPEN LETTER TO MAYOR
JEREMIAH DONOVAN.
65 East Ave" Norwalk. COnn
. Deal Sir:
It has been brought to my attentlu n
that you have originated and circulut-
ed a. statement to the effect that I
have undervalued my residential privil-
erty in this city for taxing purposl'i-
This criticism, which you do not no 111
to be told should have been made It”-
wet to me to merit reply, comes so
close upon the successful efforts of
several Norwalk women, includi'lg
Mls Hill to expose your alleged econ~
omy in the city administration for t'ize
degenerative parsimony it is, that the
motive is obvious and probablyach.: ur-
acteristic form for your exasperati 1n
to take. The statement which I [-
lows is therefore primarily for the
benefit of those your unfoundv'ld
charge may have misled:
Literally desperate efforts were
made by the owner to dispose of tile
property in question for more than
a year before I appeared as a. pos 1i-
ble purchaser The best after he had
been able to secure was $5. 000 less
than I paid for it. The reason the
price was run up so was because 311-
other man of some means was bi«l«
ding against me for_ it. It is well
known that in such circumstances a
fictitious value. one in excess of a
fair market value, is created and in‘
submitting the property for taxati in
at this figure I believe I was doing the
ost that could be desired. But. the
ssors who visited the place in a
body after the alterations and repa‘vs
I had caused to be made were com-
pleted, increased the valuation by $1.-
500, which was the approximate cost
of the only additions—two sleeping
porches and the conversion of a pact
of the niazza into a sun room. Thny
assured me, specifically, that allergi-
tions—makingone room where there
had been two, etc., and repairs—spairlt-
ing, plastering. refloorlng, etc.. weve
not regarded in Norwalk as affecting
the assessed valuation I objected lo
the $3,500 increase because when I
bought the property there was anoth-
er house orr it, worth $3.500, which 1
had removed, and I considered thnt
the additions referred to above we've
Through what I b”-
lieved to be a misunderstanding. my
the highv- 1
valuation stood, and my taxes, due
last fall, were paid on that busily
This yeal I appeared before the
board and tried to have the matter
adjusted by the deduction of last
year’s excess from this year's lint.
Not only was this not done, but the
higher valuation was placed on the
1920 list. too. I think this Is an in-
justice and was advised by my attor-
neys to contest it, but decided it was
not worth while. .
If you, Mr. Mayor. have a cleaner
tax record, it would indeed be a privi-
lege to hear about it. But I think the
citizens of Norwalk would derive still
greater pleasure from learning that
you had decided, now the “Economy"
bubble is exploded. to do something
really efficient and provide us with
roads, sewers and schools which are
not .to borrow your own vivid phrase,
‘a disgrace to humanity"
Yours very truly
GEORGE THORNE HILL, JR.

Mr. Editor.
Dear Sir:
1 read with interest the notice Of
the Gas Company in regards to their
increase of rates. It would be may
interesting to know just what thepub~
lic thinks on this great question,
say great because anything that ad .
to the already overbearing living ex‘
penses is a great question. We have
all calmly submitted to every advance
in the cost of living and the mer-
chants and manufacturers are sat 1111:
the public like it because they dont
say anything. But believe me if
these merchants etc, could call on

tho H70. 01' L. I know of an instance . -
a few days ago, where a man Went '
into a certain sioredn this city and
asked the price of a suit of clothes.
He was told it would be $45. The man
refused to buy. An argument ensued.
The merchant reduced his price from
$45 to $30 before the argument was
over and the man bought the suit.
Now, if this merchant made a profit
at $30, what do you say he was mak-
ing at $45? Is this profiteering?

To return to the gas question. Now
if the public don’t like this arrange
