SINGLE TAX DISTRICT FAVORED BY PAONESSA Wants Charter So Amended§ —Will Oppose Sewer As- sessment Boost One of the most important ques- tions to come before the charter re- vision committee when it begins its| sessions next month is the proposition | of eliminating the double taxing dis-| trict system and making a flat rate| for all property within the city limits. Mayor A. M. Paonessa ex- pressed himself this morning as of the opinion that the time had come when such change was necessary. | Important betterments for the prop-| erties now in the first district but not | in the second district are being held up pending favorable action on the proposed change Mayor Paonessa will offer opposi- | tion, however, to the movement| startad by the board of finance and| taxation to increase sewer assess- | mente. The present charge of $1.75 a front foot is considered by the| board to be insufficient. As an alder-| man, Paonessa opposed an increase last night and was successful in hav- ing the present charge maintained.| He asserted this morning that he has| experienced no change of mind since/ that time and will again object. | DESTROYED 10 A motor “relic beer bar- was burned on the a loss of billed to “RELICS" AR New Haven, Ju truck loaded with rels and bottles, Milford turnpike today at $3,200 The load was Lridgeport.

It is not expected the proposals will be laid before a full meeting of the commission today. Too Much Paper Money.

French Ask Too Much Cot A outward appearances it seems that the contest is between Sergeant W, C Hart and George J. Kelly. Two mem- berg of the commission are gaid to have pledged themselves to each can- didate, but as the other two members are said to be open minded a dead- lock is not impossible. Paonessa Wants Hart. It is definitely known that Mayor A M. Paonessa s strongly in favor of ap- pointing Sergeant Hart as chief, and it is said that several weeks ago he is to meet the strikers at Danbury and | Btamford during the day. According to strikers there has been no change in conditions over the week-end. The men claimed that there had been no desertions. Picket- Ing is strictly maintained at the Cedar | Hill shops and the railroad manage- ment has a full force of private of- ficers on patrol. There {s much discussion, it is said, of the statement of General Manager C. L. Bardo that the strikers will Jose their pension and seniority rights.*Mr. Ready last night, in reply to this, s quoted as saying: “We wouldn't consent to go back under those conditions. We would | consider that he had lost e strike.” The strike Txecutive * committee here and eleewhere on the systm is said to be watching the conference of the maintenance of way men which {s being held in Boston. For several days the local bfanches of this broth- | eghood have been preparing for the Boston conference at which grand officers of the brotherhood will be present. John Toule went from this| city to represent the New Haven local. ALLEGED THIEVES CAUGHT | Man Giving His Name As FEugene La | | Flamme, of This City. is Nabbed By | Revere, Mass,, Police Today. Captain Thomas W. Grace, this| morning received word from the police. | at Revere, Mass., that two men giving the names of Julius Kwarateuze, of Terryville, and Eugene La Flamme, of Glen street, this city, had been ar- rested in that place early this morn-| ing, for the alleged theft of an au-| tomobile. The car in question was re- | ported hy the Terryville police yes- terday morning, as stolen, and word was broadcast of the theft. OUIMET WILL NOT PLAY. Boston, July 10.—Francis Ouimet, former national amateur golf cham- plon, will not compete in the play for the national open title at Chicago. | Conflicting rumors as to the time of | Ouimet's arrival at Skokie led to the announcément at his home today that he would not arrive at all, as he did not intend to play. | In political circles however thel |opinion seems to be gaining ground |that the fundamental reason for the financial chaos lies in the total repara- 1t|ons required 132,000,000,000 gold marks which is regarded in many quarters as impossibly high. It is further made clear that no |adjustment of the total indemnity to what would be regarded as a reason- | lable figure can be made with the con- sent of France until there is a definite |settlement of the whole question of |the {nter-allied debts which would either result in cancellation or very indefinite postponement of payments. It 1is explained in French quarters {that France cannot possibly pay her debt to the T'nited States under the present conditions, Compromise Possible, France, it is declared, would prob- ably agree to a material reduction of the German indemnity {f there should be much a readjustment of the inter- allied obligation and the opinion was expressed that sooner or later this) idea must be laid before the American government. . Roland W. Boyden, the American representative with the reparations commission will return to the United States on the liner France next Sat- urday unless he is instructed further regarding the present crisis and will g0 to Washington to explain the whole | situation to Secretary of State Hughes.

(Special to The Herald). ] Southington, July 10.—About 40/ prominent citizens of this town have banded together formed what is now known as the Vigilance A meeting was and have and Order committee, held during the past week at which the members discussed the alleged liquor law violations that have been going on here, seemingly uninter- rupted by the police officials. They |decided, because of the alleged laxity of the.officials in the enforcement of the law, to take matters into their own hands and issue warnings to the known dispensers of the firewater, to close up their places and stop selling| liquor, or the committee will take violent action. Warning to Bootleggers, A recent meeting wheh was at-| tended by about 75 citizens, drew up| a letter, it is sald, and sent it to those who are known to be “hootlegging” in the town. Tt is sald to read as fol- | o “The time has arrived when | those selling any kind of intoxicating liquors must go out of business with- in two weeks or suffer the penalties of the law.

Reports from outside this town state that much of the moon- shine that is sold in other surround- ing towns and cities is procured here and the Vigilance and Order com- mittee state that they are out to make the town as dry as the Sahara desert.
