This is the story of seven missing
acres of land and is one of the many
odd things that has come to the at-
tention of Tax Commissioner
Thomas Balcom since he assumed
that office. a year ago. -
Seven acres of land upon which
taxes have been paid for many years
have disappeared: have been wiped
completely out of existence. And to
the best of recollection. Non-walk and
vicinity has never been visited by an
earthquake.
The seven acres belonged to Mrs.
Nellie Mallory of Boston. Mum.
formerly of Norwalk. The story
concerning the missing land came
{out when Mrs. Mallory visited Tu
Commissioner Balcom regarding the
taxes on her property. ‘
"Mr. Balcom." said Mrs. Mallory.
.“l have been paying 183901011 seven
acres of land in “'iiton that I cannot
find." ‘
“What!" exclaimed Commissioner
Baloom astonished. "Where did the
land go to?"
“I don't know. but it's gone." re-
plied Mrs. Mallory. “And I know 1
want to get the money back that I
have been out for taxes for many
)‘can."
There the matter stood until Tax
Commissioner Baleom looked up e
'rocords. _
