Goorl Lawion Cioos and Istals O MANY 10 ATTEND HEARING Crossing Plans to Be Aired Tomor- row Moming—H. §. Nonor Roll— Store Enlarged — Bowling — May T4ft Quarsntine—RBriefs, James Foran was again elected chief ranger of Court General Law- ton, Foresters of America, and he and his staff were installed at a largely attended meeting last night. Mr. Foran, after baving gone through the various offices once and served his term as chief ranger, repeated this feat and became head of the court about two years ago. Bince that time he has been re- elected each six months, but the court has now changed its by-laws and the term which Mr, Foran en- tared upon last, night will extend for'a full ye The court has prospered remarkably under his guidance and his reelection was a tribute to his many years of work in Forestry circles. The other officers selected by the court were as follow: Sub ' chief ranger, Danie] Tedesco; treasurer, A. J. Greenier; financial sécreta: Hugh Flood; recording secretary, Oscar Provencher; senior woodward, Henry David; junior woodward, John Skinner; senior beadle, Louis Pravencher; junior beadle, Augustine Lepore; trustees, William .A. Cas- sidy, Thomas Royce and Leon Blinn; lecturer, Peter Duffy. These officers were finstalled by District Deputy Albert Rowzer and Grand Lectyrer Patrick Cook of Bristol. Crossing Hearing Tomorrow A large attendance is expected at the hearing on the East, street grade crossing .elimination, which will be held at 10:30 o'clock tomorrow merning in Room 41 of the state This hearing will be at least nominally in regard to the plan submitted to the public utilities commission by the state highway department, but the town tive plan, made by Engineer Joseph N. M¢Kernan and calling .for the abolishing of both that crossover and the one at East Main street at one blow. A large number of prop- erty owners,and right-of-way hold- ers.are affected, and it is hoped that as many as possible will be present to learn full details and express their views. At the meeting of the town plan commission Monday night Engineer McKernan's map was examined by the members and the crossing elim- ination was considered from Plai ville's point of view. His was thought to be a better and neater proposal from this angle, while it would also involve no excessive property damage and would rid the town of two grade crossings simul- taneously. Further, this plan would retain Pine strept, which it is hoped to make eventually into a main highway to New Britain. A number of the commisstoners will attend the hearing. The commission is having a map of Canal street. prepared. When this is ready the western end of the town, except for Pierce street and street-Unionville avenue, will have been practically cleaned up. High School Honor Roll' The list of honor puplls for the third marking period at the High schéol, which was completed today and will be announced to the school at the assembly on Friday, is as fol- lows: Seniors—Virginia Confort!, Bea- trice Easton, Helen McKernan, So- phie Naaman, Helen Ostman, Mar- jorie Rutland.

L] - 'S MESSAGE STARTLES BAY STATE Calls for Rocord-Breaking Reduc- tion of Texes in ‘Sum of 3,800,000, Boston, Jan. 25 (UP)—Massachu- {setts legislators were astounded to- day by Governor Alvan T. Fuller's |annual budget message, which called |for a record-breaking reduction of $3,500,000 in the state tax for 1928. If the executive’s plan is followed by, the _legislature, the state tax, which the commonwealth levies on cities and towns to meet the excess of expenditures over revenues, will be cut from $12,000,000 to $8,500,~ 000. Except'in 1913 and 1916, the state tax invariably has exceeded the figure set by Governor Fuller for the. current vear, and in 1920 and 1921, ‘the tax rose'to the un- precedented height of $14,000,000. The astonishment 'with ~ which legislators greeted the executive's proposal was due largely to the realization that state expenditures 1n:1928 will touch a new high level because of salary increases and the |extensive building and highway programs. Expenditures will aggre- gate $53,680,872.64. Due to the 1927 economy pro- gram and an increase ia the in- heritance tax, however, the governor started this year with & $5.000,000 surplus. He has expressed determi- nation that this money be returned to the tax payers.

The report of Superintendent G. Earl Lourie indicated that during the month of December bills, total- {ing $30,766.68, were approved and ordered paid. The total amount of bills rendered for water during the month totaled $19,195.91, $1,135.10 more than for the same month the previous year. Bills for water re- maining unpaid January 1st amount- ed to $62,075.58, the greater portion of this being for street assessments. During the month the normal pre- cipitation at the government reser- | voir station at Hartford was 3.57 inches, The rainfall at Reservoir No. 4 at Harwinton was 4.19 inches and at Hartford 5.28 inches. The | accumulated excess inches Decem- ber 1st at Reservoir No. 4 was .62 inches. During December the average daily consumption was 2,512,000 gallons, 109,000 gallons more than in December, 1926. Chemists’ Test Favorable The report of the chemists of the state. department under date of jJanuary 20 was as follows: ‘The numbers of bacteria are low and no objectionable types were found in| ten cubic centimer volumes of water | !tested. The supply appears to be| entirely satisfactory from a bac-| teriological standpoint under exist- ing conditions.” On January 24 all reservoirs were {full with the exception of No. 1,| { Which was down one-half inch. During the month nine new serv- ices and one relay were installed. Petitions A petition was recelved from Jerome A. Moody for a water main extension on Page avenue, south from Farmington avenue and it was voted to lay approximately 300 feet of six inch main on Page avenue, the construction of the work being guaranteed by Mr. Moody. A petition was also received from the Thirteenth School Distriet for a | water main on Pine street from Central street east to Lincoln av- ienue, near which the mew sachool- ' house now in process of construc- tion, 1s located. Interested property owners will be notified to appear at jthe next meeting of the board. Yearly Report The fourteenth report of the wa- ter department, covering the year ending November 30, 1927, was ap- proved. The report covers the most successful year in the history of the department, both in the increase in ‘net earnings added to the surplus, and in the number of new water services installed. The income from the sale of wa- ter of $125,075.17 was $8§,075.17 more than was estimated a year ago, and $12,601.48 more than the pre- ceding year—an increase of over 116;. The amount received from jother sources was $3,420.18 more than the year before. ‘The amount charged off for opera- tion, maintenance, administration, taxes, interest, etc., was $67,019.67— :$480.23 less than the estimate. The net profit of the year .includ- ing $6,500 paid on the sinking fund, iwas $57,642.63—over 6 1-2¢, of the investment of the city in the depart- jment. The total assets at the close of the year was $1,460,028.67—an increase of $155.695.99. The investment of the city in the plant increased $39,000.00, while as stated above, the assets of the de- partment increased $1565,695.99. The surplus at the end of the year was $318,971.49. Adding to this the sinking fund, $90,164.19, the depart- ment shows assets in excess of lia- bilities of about 477%. During the year the few domestic services previously on contract were metered, so that now the department is entirely on'a meter basis except for fire protection, street sprinkling, and hydrant flushing. Over six miles of distribution mains were laid, by far the largest amount since the establishment of the department. The total length of water main in use November 30, 11927 was sixty-seven and one-quar- ter miles, Two hundred sixty-two new serv- ices were jnstalled, and sixty-three |Hungary, 32 years ago, 80% total, T5% of the total counted for, the ed satisfactory. wil 1be $198,300,000, and . the: expenditures, $177,800.00.
