W Britain merchants are going to show the public of this vicinity, in- cluding the surrounding towns, w A real sales day is, next Wednesday, wccording to the Chamber of Com- mercantile bureau which has een planning for the affair for some time. Everyone along the street, and on the side streets has been communi- cated with by those in charge and ar rangements made for the biggest col- lection of bargains that may be imag- ined for the benefit of shoppers. Bus- iness, it is believed, on the swing times are coming and is with the idea of giving a great to the market and drawing to New Britain merchants and w Britain stores that the af- fair has been staged. “We are going to be in the van of the reorganization that is coming and we are prepared make sacrifices now to gain the trade that will be built up soon,’ fis another expression of opinion. Profit will not be the aim of the rather it will be an attractive line of bargains at cost and below for the ad- vantage that will be gained by the advertising from these bargains. There is no doubt but that ev one will be well repaid by putting aside the whole day for a lengthy shopping tour. Slen- der purses will go much further than before, and possibly further than they will again. As soon as the public gets the idea that the day has been arranged for advertising purposes, that there is going to be no immedi- ate return to the merchant, but that the whole thing has been planned to react upon the future in bringing a greater acquaintance with New Brit- ain stores and what they may, do for thP. city, it is certain 'that . a’ great b\ PR Ak T it attention 1921. —TWELVE PAGES PRICE THREE d MORGUES AND HOSPITALS TAXED TO .

Hartford, June 6.—Danger that New Britain would be called upon to Pay an additional $150,000 state tax by reason of the passage ot a bill for the ‘taxation of dams, water and pipe lines was eliminated senate today when that body refuseq to accept a minority report for ac- ceptance and voted down tha measure. This action came after a lengthy dis- courso on the matter, pro and con, with Senator Brooks arguing for the passage of the bill and Senators Hall ot New Britain and Goodwin of Hart- ford arguing against it. Senator Brooks made the assertion that some municipalities make from $58,000 to $103,000 a year profit on their water rights and it is only fair that this profit making business pay its share of state taxes. Refuting this genera! statement, Senator Hall de- clared that he would oppose the bill, even as he had done in 1917. He said that New Britain makes no material profit on its water and aims to sell it at near cost, giving the taxpayers the benefit. Hae said that New Britain pays the town of Burlington about $3,000 a year in taxes. Furthermore, ha said, New Britain watershed prop- mains in the erty in Burlington is taxed $45.70 per | | acre, while privately adjacent is taxed only $9 per acre.
