STATE WENT OVER MILLION DOLLARS BEHIND State Treasurer Lippitt's Report to . September 20, 1912—Total Receipts ‘Were §11,272,079.43—Total Debt Over $7,000,000—Recommends State Tax. State Treasurer Costello Lippitt has submitted to Governor B: his report for the fiscal year ending Sep- tember 30, 1912. It shows a balance of cash-on hand o that date of $2,434,- 201.80; receipts from all sources, $11,- 272,0;9‘43, and payments of $8,105,- 750.27. The most significant features of the report are the &tatement that the close of the fiscal year finds the state over a million dollars behind, and his suggestion that a state tax of not less than three-fourths of a mill should be levied. The report follows: § Civil' List Acecount.

The treasurer says: The close of the fiscal year on September 30 shows a deficiency of $1,040,332.34. The state’s debt over the cash on hand being $4,837,356.28 as compared with $3,837,523.73_a year since. The inerease of the debt was a fore- gone conclusion a year ago and was foretold In my annual report at that time. I have paid all the temporary 18ans made during this and the previous ?:(‘A] lyea;‘ with funds received from e sale of state bonds. These amount- ed to $1,450,000, Trust Funds. More than $1,735,000 of trust funds, including balances, were received and disbursed last year. I believe there are several of these trusts that should never have been placed upon the treagurer, as they are not state funds and do not pertain to state business. 8tate Bonds. Januvary 18, T sold $4,000,000 of 4 camt. bonds, authorized September plelr: 11 The act authorized the treasurer te fesue not exceeding six million dol Iars “in such sums £ as he may find expedient. I to report the sale was sucy - ful. The entire offering was l.x«g}es!uw a syndicate at a premium of $63,920, or a premium of .01598 per cent. There still remains the authority to isgue two millions more ‘whenever the needs of the state shall require more funds than the taxes produce. Bonded Debt. The bonded debt of the state consists of $3,064,000 of 3 1-2 per cx;fX bonds, due in 1934, and four millions of four per cent. due in 1936, and one bond for one hundred dollars, due in 1885, making a total debt of $7,064,100 on which the annual interest charge is $267,240. The debt has increased each year for five years past, at an average rate of $1,028,665.33 or five years' increase, $5,143,326.64. This plan should end now. More bonds should not be issued. — NORWICH SUFFRAGISTS ATTENDED HARTFORD MEETING. Three From Local Equal Franchise League Heard Judge Lindsay Speak. m pleased Mr, and Mrs. Willis Austin, Mrs. Willlam A. Norton and Miss Louise . Meech have returned from Hartford where on Monday evening they at- tended the big meeting addressed by Judge Ben Lindsay ,of Denver, Colora- do. Judge Lindsay told of the fight with the beast in Colorado and of how the women helped in the fight. That they did help materially in this fight was made so convincing by Judge Lindsay that many converts were made to the cause of woman suf- frage and the Hartfordq Equal Fran- chise league, under whose auspices the meeting was held, gained materially in ‘fl]e:‘“' members, and money as a re- sult./ Free Stamp Day Women’s and Misses’ Coats Waists Dresses The fllanhatian 121-125 MAIN STREET “Where Shopping is a Pleasure” Suits Furs WEDDING DISILLUSION. Denver Paper Tells About Miss Annie Sisson of Westerly. Further news has been received in Westerly of the coast to coast trip of Miss Annie Sisson of that place, who, having answered a matrimonial adver- tisement im one of the western papers several months ago, went out to the “gold coast” during the early fall to meet the man of her choice, but who since returned. The clipping of the rather unusual venture, which caused considerable interest and no little comment was taken from the Denver, Co., News: Fresno, Cal, Nov, 8—Lured to this city from her home in Westerly, R. I, by an advertisement in a matrimonial journal, ‘Miss Anna Sisson, an orphan, aged 17 years, arrived in Fresno, only to find that Robert J. Moss, who ad- vertised himself as a capitalist, was a clubfooted dishwasher working in a restaurant here. Organizations of this city subscribed money and the girl was this morning secretly taken to a railroad staiton and placed on the train for Washing- ton, D, C. New London-Salem Road. The New London-Salem road is said to furnish a route from New London to Hartford sixteen miles shorter than by way of Sdybrook, but the Ansonia Sentinel has heard the New London Telegraph say that nobody wotild ever think of using it in its present condi- tion. It suits Norwich all right, how- ever, says a Hartford exchange, for Norwich points out that the bad con- dition of the highway diverts to the Rose of New England trade which would otherwise find its way to New London. All of which goes to illustrate the value of a bad road and indicates that the public is quick to one when it feels it. J. Hull Has Not Lost a Game.

The re- port “of the month previous showed Norwich to have 2874, New London 8131 and Willimantic 1856, - The loss shown in the Norwich ex- change is due in some part to the fact that Franklin was taken from it and added to the Lebanon exchange, As usual, hotels and restaurants will entertain many dinner guests on THEY WANT THE BEST, TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF AN UNUS- UAL OPPORTUNITY AND GET ONE OF 42 DESIGNERS SAMPLE OVERCOATS FULLY WORTH AND ACTUALLY PRICED IN NEW YORK STORES BETWEEN $35 AND $50, ON SALE HERE TODAY, FRIDAY AND SATURDAY AT AND THE MAN WHO KNOWS AND APPRECIATES SNAPPY CLOTHES WILL ‘FIND AMONG THESE 42 SAMPLE OVERCOATS JUST THE KIND THAT HE IS LOOKING FOR.
