TECHNICAL TAX POINTS
The Protest of the University to the
Board of Relief.
ed
The Corporation of Yale has filed
with the Town Clerk of the Cily of
New Haven a formal appeal to the
Board of Relief of the town of New
Haven concerning the list of Yale
property, claimed by the Board of As-
sessors. to be subject to taxation.
The appeal was filed by the atorneys
of the Corporation, Bristol, Stoddard
& Bristol, and sets forth that the
treasurer of Yale, Mr. William W.
Farnam, had, on October 21st, 1895
filed with the Assessors of the town of
New Haven, according to the law, a
list of the taxable property which in
all respects, conformed to the law
and which contained all the property
of Yale which is liable to taxation; its
total value being $57,680. The fact is
cited also that some time in January
“and subsequent to the 20th day of De-
cember, 1896,”. the AsseSsors under-
tcok to add to this list certain real
estate owned by Yale, claimed by them
to have been omitted from Mr. Far-
nam’s list, and liable to taxation, and
amounting in value to $380,866.
This addition, it is declared, is of
property not liable to ttaxation and it
is further declared that no notice in
writing was given by the Assessors
te Yale, of their action in the premises
either ‘‘prior to the 20th day of De-
cember, 1896, or on said date or any
time thereafter.”
It is further set up that the Asses-
sors failed to file in the office of the
Town Clerk of New Haven, prior to -
the 3ist day ‘of December, 1896, the
lists of taxable property in the town
of New Haven, received and made by
them or an abstract thereof pursuant
to the statute in such cases made
and provided.
On these facts the University prays
for relief. Unless the Board of Re-
lief should comply with the protest of
Yale, the mater must go to the courts.
It is claimed by the friends of Yale
that the technical points raised by
Bristol, Stoddard & Bristol are thor-
oughly sound and that the mistakes
of the Board in the treatment of the
case will be sure to throw the matter
over at least another year.
If this view is upheld it will be
nearly two years before there can be
any action, as the tax lists made out
at the beginning of the year are for
taxes collectible in the Fall.

N. H. Symphony Orchestra Con-
cert.
The second concert of the season of
the New Haven Symphony Orchestra,
under the direction of Prof. Horatio
W. Parker was played in the College
Street Hall, Thursday, January 21.
Like most all its predecessors, the per-
formance was a thorough success,
viewed from an artistic standpoint,
and, judging from the numbers pres-
ent, was also successful in a financial
way. There was a marked improve-
ment in the work of the entire body,
particularly in the brasses, a weak
spot in the orchestra of last year.
Professor Parker’s reading of the Bee-
thoven Eroica Symphony was broad,
dignified and scholarly. His men fol-
lowed his baton with splendid precis-
ion on attacks. He has done great
things with the material at his dis-
‘posal.
A feature of the concert was the ap-
pearance of Prof. Samuel S. Sanford,
head of applied music at Yale, in
Luiszt’s Hungarian Fantasie for piano
and orchestra. Prof. Sanford played
the selection, one of the most brilliant
and difficult of this composer, with
wondeiful dash, precision and clear-
ness. It is doubtful if his perform-
ance could be equalled by any other
American pianist, and indeed by few
ebroad. The audience was a critical
one, but Prof. Sanford’s playing
brought forth the warmest kind of
applause. The Mozart concerto for
two pianos was played by Prof. San-
ford and H. stanley Knight, a pupil
inethe department of applied music.
Though a large part of the audi-
ence were town people, hundreds of
students took advantage of the oppor-
tunity to hear the music. It is a no-
ticeable fact that each performance
sees more and more of the student
body availing themselves of this prac-
tical cultivation of the best in the art
of music.
