PAYS TRIBUTE 10 POLICE VETERAN Patrolman Johnson Called “Chil- dren's Friend” by Minister —_— “No crab ever has any ¢hildren running-after him," sald Rev. Dr. George W. C. Hill at the South Con- grogational church last evening, in paylng a tribute to Patrolman Charles Johnson, one of the veterans on the police force, for his Interest in children, The sermon was In connection with the movie picture “Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm,” and was upon friendlineas. Dr. Hill told of driving on Stanley stroet ono day last week when he was stopped at a atreet in- tersection near a gchool houso by a traftic policeman who was alding the youngsters from the echool to cross the strect in safety. All the ehildren werg over but one tiny tot who wae caretully guarded by the big police- man until he was safely across. Then a group of other iittle boys and girls who had been waiting for the last voungster gathered around and six kiddles, all trying at once to get their arms about the policeman, walked down the street with Patrol- man Johneon. The minister commented upon the qualities of a policeinan which would make him the center of a group of happy and admiring chil- dren, “lverybod knows Charlle Johnson,” he said. “He's the man who picked up the first two chil- dren for what afterwards became the Klingberg children's home, “You can only make friends by being friendly,” ha said. “There are a great many theojogical defini- tions of a certain person we know as Jesus Christ, Bitter fuctions hmu‘,| aplit o him, but the greatest name he was over ocallod or ever called himselt was that of ‘I'riend’, The minlster called attention to the statement often heard that man W & soclal animal, ¥le demonstrated this by reforring to the average man when he becomes 11l After he be- comes convalescent the doctor calls to see him and {8 met with the question, “Doctor, when can 1 go out?" be patient for a week or so and the next day the physician is met by the man's wife with the query, “Doctor, for heaven's sake, how soon can he get out This, he sald, proves that man ueually is secking human compan- lonship.

Massachusetts. For every mlile of ihhzh\\ny in the Bay state, fees of $389 are annually collected from moor vehicle owners and operators while in Connecticut $359 1s collect~ ed. { Motorlsts of the country pay in the form of gasoline taxcs and reg- istration foos an average of a quarter of a cent a mile, 1t 18 shown by sta- | tistics glven out by the United States | Burean of Public Roads, That s what the fees paid in 4 year amount to when divided by 6,000, which {s belioved to be the average motor- ist's apnual mileage. The average license fea per mile traveled is one- fifth of a cent and the gasoline taxes paid make up the difference of one twenty-fifth of a cent. “The motorist or truck operator,” says the bureau, “Is assured of & good return from the taxes he pays, since the recelpts are largel® devoted to road construction and mainte- nance.” " In Connecticut, such fees are entirely devoted to such pur- poses. In 1928, 81 per cent of the motor vehicle licenss revenues of the ccuntry and 58 per cent of the gaso- iine taxes were turned over to the state highway department for ex- penditure under thelr supervision and 1 considerable portion of the remainder was spent by counties for road purposes. Gas Tax in 25 States “Clonsideration of the gasoline tax is of special interest to the motor vehicls operator,” the bureau state- ment centinues. “Thirty-five states have this form of tax, ranging from 1 to 3 cent, with the exception of one stute, which has a 4-cent tax. A one cent tax increases the cost of operating the average vehicle by less than a tenth of a cent a mile.” - On a trip from Hartford to the heart of New York city, or from Stamford to Springfield, the tax would amount to pbouf 10 cents. A trip across the continent over the Lincoln Highway from New Haven to San Franclsco would be taxed $2.50. A comparigon of these,rates with the toll ¢harges which motorists for merly had to pay on toll roads, 18 made by the bureau, showing that on six different turnpikes in Virgiala and Maryland, tolls amounting to $5.05 were charged for a total of 187 miles, which is equivalent to 2.7 cents a mile. The bureau concludes that “if a state attempted to charge this same rate for the use of the publip highways by automobiles it would have to establish a gasoline tax of 36 cents a gallon.” MRS, WEST DIES Port Huron, Mich., Nov. 10.—Mra.!
