NewW York, Feb. 18.—Information as to how legal papers can be served on Nicholas Romanoff, deposed and supposedly executed czar of Russia, was asked of Supreme Court Justice Callaghan by the marine transport ,service corporation which holds a judgment for $117,504.11 against him. Justice Benedict' ruled nearly a ye@r ago that the corporation must serve Rumanoff in order to prosecute its suit to have §$1,000,000 held by New VYork bankers for the Russian governmént applied to the payment of the judgment. Today Ju asked how Iloma allaghan was noff could be served when nobody knows positively whether he is alive or dead. The judge refused to solve the puzzle, dis- missing the suit and gave the cor- poration permission to appear to a higher court.

By a closer vote the council downed a proposition intro- duced by Councilman George M. Lan- | ders to have a one-half mill tax levied to put the system into operation starting December 1, instead of July 1. The law libraries of Judges Walsh and Meskill were formally accepted and plans made for their upkeep. A | report on the/ audit of the Welcome Home celebration committee was ac- cepted following caustic comments on the part of Alderman A. M. Pa- onessa on the management and gen- eral detail of that affair. 30 Mills Is Actual Rate. The new tax represents 23.9 mills ' r the whole city and 4 additional for the second district, that district being the more valuable prop- | erties of the central part of the cit There is a 2.1 mill tax already levied which brings the actual rate to 30 mills. Appropriations called for and | d with the report of the board ance and taxation amount to | $1,892,922.60. It has been estimated that the income for the yvear will be’ $252,977. The 28.9 mill tax will bring in $1,386,666.12 and the addi- tional four mills will bring in $220,- 386.49. The city plans to spend $2,- 000,000 this vear and in addition to that amount the water board = will spend $173,150. The finance board has apportioned the city’s expenses to the various departments as follows: Consolidated school district, $621,- 192; street department, $180,000; street lighting, $34,000; street sprink- ling, $21,500; state highway account, $5,000; sewer maintenance, $21,000; police department, $137,496.25; fire department, $137,335; board of pub- lic charities, $75,025; health depart- ment, $30,000; special appropriations, $211,300; interest and discount, $112,- 603.75; pavment on principal, $223,- 700; incidentals, {$16,900; salaries, $65,870. In reply to a question of Council- man Landers, Chairman F. S. Cham- berlain said it would not be possible to spread the expenses of a comfort station over a period of years as that matter would have to come under the head of charter amendments. The chairman explained that the pay- ments of $23,000 on principal were made because $5,000 in bond ma- tures. A payment of $2,000 on, the | Elihu Burritt school deficiency = of | $12,000 is to be made. Why Tases Increase. Councilman Landers explained the cause of increased taxation. Since 1906 city expen have increased four and one-half times while the grand list has increased but two and one-half times, he said. The lists in 1906 were $24,000,000 while they are now $58,000,000 but *“we must grin and bear until we can get a proper valuation of all properties,” he con- cluded. A sum of $500 was transferred from the salary appropriation to special appropriations for Stanley Post, G . R. The item has been unintention- ally left out and it was iater found that, through an error, the salary item was $1,000 in advance of what was absolutely required. The matter of the Widows’ Pension fund was brought up and the need | of & change from the present method | of distribution was explained. Ed- | rard C. Connelly was named to take | charge of the work and his qualifica- | tions explained. The $2,700 item was | transferred from the charity depart- ment to special appropriations and a $300 item went to the salary budg- et. Raps Two-Platoon Move. Chairman F. Chamberlain was asked why a special item for the two- platoon system had not been in- | cluded in the report of the finance and taxation board, as had been re- quested by the council. He replied that in the opinion of the board, the { city was not ready to receive it, the [ firemen had received substantial raises | and it would surely be defeated at a | city meeting. In the opinion of the chairman, the item couild not be originated in the common.council for reference 10 a city meeting but could come up as an amendment to the | report of the board of finance and | taxation. He said that the matter would be defeated anyway and it would give the principle gf a two- platoon system a black-eye making it difficult fo revive at a more favor- able time. Landers Defends System. Councilman Landers spoke in favor of a plan to start the two-platoon THIN, NERVOUS PEOPLE NEED BITRO-PHOSPHATE What It Is and How It Increases Welght Strength and Nerve Force In Two Weeks' Time in Many Instances SHOULD BE PRESCRIBED BY EVERY DOCTOR AND USED IN EVERY HOSPITAL Says Editor of “Physicians’ Who's Who.” Take plain bitro-phosphate is the ad- vice of physicians to thin, delicate, ner- vous people who lack vim, energy and nerve force, and there seems to be ample proof of the efficacy of this preparation to warrant the recommendation.

The cause of the two-platoon sys- tem was declared lost but a spark of hope was kindled by Alderman Curtis who spoke of the possibilities of a city meeting later to levy a special tax for the purpose of plltflng the system into operation. Frank Riley of the charity board received. He favored the increase proposed by Superintendent Fred A. Murphy. The transfer of funds as was authorized: From emergenty a count to salaries $7,500; from emer- | gency to municipal garage, $800; from emergency to incidentals, $2,00 from police to fire department, $2,000; street lighting to streets, $1,100; fire department to No. 6 fire station ac- count $£1,260; from® interest and di counts to charities, $3,000; total, $17,- 630.

McDonough appeared ; on behalf of the New Britain Bar as- sociation to present the law libraries of Judge Walsh and Judge Meskill and to ask that an appropriation be made for book shelves and upkeep. About $75 a year will be necessary for new volumes, while the shelving cost will be about $450. The set is the attorneys said. A letter from Judge John H. Kirk ham on the same matter was Both lawvers spoke for a new city court room, recommending the coun- cil chamber as the most suitable place. A resolution was passed to Hall commission and a committee of five from the common council sit in joint session and con- sider the matter of fi ber for city court case: Councilman J { was all about. | for injuries received. asked if anyone could consult the law books and he was informed that they would be open to the public at any time. The railroad committee voted to hold a public hearing if the service is not bettered. If a report to the officials of the company is not pro- ductive of improvement, a hearing before the public utilities commis- i sion will be sought. Chairman ‘Angelo Paonessa, of the automobile committee, reported that he had been refused written infor- i mation by the board of public works ; and the water department. A resolu- tion instructing those boards to com- ply with the wishes of the chairman was passed. He Counted His Bride Before She Consented When Julia Naples of 104 Commer- cial street was congratulated on her approaching marriage to Joseph Ca- pello, yesterday, she hurried to the office of the town clerk to see what it She was told that Ca- pello had taken out the license, giv- ing her age as 21, while she is but, 20 in reality. She later learned that Ca- pello had made arrangements for the wedding, apparently regarding her consent as one of the minor details. Miss Naples says there will be no wed- ding as she does not intend to become the bride of Capello. That is the story of Capello’s blighted romance that the girl’s relatives are relating.
