Deputy Tax Commissioner Fales paid 
his official visit to Manchester on Mon- 
day of this week and looked over the tax 
and assessors’ books. Mr. Fales advised 
a number of changes including a radical 
departure in the manner of listing the 
assessed polls. These he advised to be 
classified by streets and not in alphabetical 
order as now. Besides the street name, 
the name of the owner of house in which 
assessed poll lives must also be given, all 
of which means additional work for the 
assessors.

Notice. 
To THE PusLtic:—I would inform 
you thatI have sold my business to Mr. 
Thomas Derosier who takes over my 
entire business, including machinery, 
tools, stock, fixtures and “* good will.’’ 
I decided upon this change after find- 
ing that the climate on our coast does not 
agree with Mrs. Dyer, soI am arrang- 
ing to go South. It is with regret that I 
contemplate leaving Manchester and all 
the friendly ties that have been formed 
in the six years I have met you as a busi- 
ness man, and I desire to thank all those 
who assisted me in establishing ‘‘ Dyer’s 
Auto Depot’’ so successfully, and I trust 
my successor will receive the same gen- 
erous patronage and loyal support which 
has always been extended to me. 
Very truly yours, 
GeorcE F. Dyer.
