Other Towns to Wait Some of Ihe other communities which plan to wait unlil they can develop information are Milford, Newtown, Weston and Easton.

Changes will be negligible in some of the smaller suburban communities where there are few underground utility lines. Bethel, for example has less than a mile of gas lines owned by the Connecticut Light and Power company and operates ils own water system. In.Trumbull, Assessor William Schiehe reported that based an the new assessment policy the Gas company assessrhen! will go up from $1,142,341 to a new figure of 52,210,152, while the water company's assessment also is expected to go up more-than SJ million.

McGee this does not necessarily mean the overall assessment total for the firms involved will show a net rise this year. He said in some instances other elements in their property valuation have dropped in comparison to last year's.

List to Be Filed Soon The city's preliminary grand list is not expected tobe filed until next assessor reported. Mr. McGee said, however, that Bridgeport' Gas company's total assessment this year is expected to be down considerably, primarily -because of a change in (heir depreciation, procedures. Additional amounts stemming from the new assessment methods on utility installations take into pay about S7.200 more, an'd the Monroe Water company'about $8,000 more.

Another Aspect A new aspect to the assessmen situation also has developed. A spokesman for the Southern Connecticut Gas company said Town of Stratford is planning establish a new procedure in determing costs--using a replacement cost basis, rather 'than an original cost figure. The Gas company spokesman said Stratford has been using an original cost principle, which is less than replacement cost, since 1960 when it first started adding "internment" costs, but is planning to use the replacement concept for its new grand list. He said all other communities are using replacement costs as the basis, and indicated that if Stratford follows through, another court case will develop.

It was Stratford's decision in 1960 to add" the cost of installation fallen on Hanoi or its suburbs, although in recent weeks American planes have stepped up the ir war and 'Staged bombing lids on an oil depot HVJ miles orth of the city.

And it called "questionable" some price boosls last year in aluminum, cotton textiles, newsprint, gasoline, chemicals and certain machinery.

The presidential report, third and last of his major annual messages to Congress, called for action in these areas: Balance of payments: the 1 per cent interest equalization tax, which penalizes U.S. investment abroad, should be extended beyond its midyear expiration, Johnson said, and the rate should be a adjustable from 0 lo 2 per cent. A 2 per cenl rate would 'discourage' a renewed flight of investment capital abroad, he explained, if interest yields decline steeply here. He rejected proposals to curb Americans' travel overseas.
