Not Much Headway. The police admit they have not gained much headway in their in- vestigation, which has brought into the c: halt a dozen detectives, Prosccuting Attorneys Franz J. (‘arlson and Barclay Robinson, and County Detective Edward J. Hickey. They ha spent most of their time questionin, Dr. Guilfoyle at the Hartford hospital where he is under guard and questioning Mrs. Guilfoyle at the Hartford county jail where she is detained as a ma- terial witness on a technical charge of breach of the peace, jut their thorough grilling of these two principals in the case has been of little profit, since today the were unable to say that they ave anything more than suspicions to who fired the four shots, one which killed Mrs. Gaudet, and of which penetrated the of another doctor’s head with the result that e will lost the sight of one eye.

The value of the new planes, if they prove practicable, says the Her- ald-Tribune, is easily seen, as in all engagements between airplanes alti- tude is generally the determining factor.

AVAILABLE | Erection of Addition to Present Plant Becomes Possible Through | Discovery that Government Bomd Limit is Far More Than $311,000. Instead of having a borrowing lee- way of Jess than,850,000, the city is in a position to issue its obliga- tions in the amount of $1,308,982.23, a report issued today by Treasurer Curtis L. S8heldon shows. Chairman Edward F. Hall of the board of finance and taxation last week computed the debt to show bonding authority of only $311,000, arriving at that figure by use of the last financial statement issued in connection with a bond sale. Chair- man Hall made it plain that this figure might be increased by reason of non-taxable properties, the amount of which did not appear on the statement, but on which five per cent borrowing is allowed; and he |also pointed out that sinking funds would lower the debt, and in that way increase the borrowing power. ‘These are the factors which are employed in arriving at the new figure, Today's statement makes it pos- sible for the school committee to proceed with plans for a Senior High school addition, a job which would have been forestalled had the $311,- 1000 figure been found to be final.
