Blodgett Testimony Barred in Bridgeport Tax Suit
Testimony by Blodgett was barred as the court limited evidence about certificates of error and the Bridgeport Brass company tax adjustment. The tax contest hinges on whether certificates may correct clerical errors or any miscalculations, with both sides presenting certificates and witness testimony from former assessors on whether the statute allows broad corrections and if prior practices permitted such changes after tax rates were fixed.
