Suicide Ruling In Student's Death Disputed The official verdict of suicide in the case of the 20-year-old Williams 'College student from The Netherlands, whose body was found April 19 near the base of a radio tower in Richmond, has been challenged by his sister-in- law in New York. Miss Henriette Rosenberg stated that Gaulthcrus H.

DC Villcncuve was obviously happy and in jjood spirits when he talked to her on the telephone before leaving Florida to return to Williamstown. She said, "I do not believe that Hank killed himself, and I would make the trip to Richmond if it would serve any purpose." The student's body was found by fishermen in the James River at the foot of the radio Ho was ten days overdue at the college after the spring rccrcss. Authorities believe that he had been dead for about ten clays. The official police report stated that all the. evidence pointed to the student having leaped from the Troy property owners were urged today to cooperate in the post card survey which is being made in connection with the property revaluation project.

Mayor Edward A. Fitzgerald urged property owners receiving! the cards to fill them out and re-! them to the Wood, Dolsonj which has charge of the rc-j valuation project. The cards seek information a a that deeds on property throughout the city were recorded. It is necessary because under the project the city will be provided with up to date assessment maps that will clearly show the boundaries of each parcel of property in the city. Assessment maps never were made or kept up to date for about one-third of the city.

In addition! many parcels which show on the assessment maps as single have been subdivided into several parcels. By filling in the post cards properly owners will facilitate the job of getting accurate descriptions of every piece of property on the tax rolls. Explains Project. Mayor Fitzgerald said there are several points which should be understood by property owners about the property revaluation project. First of all, the Mayor said, the purpose of the reassessment project is to spread the tax burden evenly by equalizing the assessments according to a single.stand- ard for all properties.

Mayor Fitzgerald said that most persons who have looked into the project with an open and impartial nind agree that property revalua- ion has been'needed in Troy and houhl have been done long ago. Secondly, the Mayor said a he city administration is not scek- ng the creation of additional bor- owing power through an increase the a assessed valuation of property on the tax rolls. "As of oday the City of Troy has borrow- ng-power of $4,000,000 and noth- ng in our plans anticipates exhausting that margin without considering the creation of new borrowing power," the Mayor said.
