A NEW EXEMPTION FOR STATE MILITIAMEN Three, Instead of Five Years’ Service Now for Personal Tax Exemption. Former members of the Connecticut National Guard, who have to their credit three years of faithful service, have a pleasant surprise coming to them, when they go to pay their per- sonal tax, as they have been made ex- empt, under the new law passed and approved March 31, 1915. Heretofore the old ilaw required that ex-membe: of the militia ghould have had five years’ faithful service. The new exemption will be greatly appreciated by those who have served only one enlistment. A great major- ity of the men in the militia only serve three years and many cases of discharges are granted before that time for non-residence and other causes. The reduction of time from five to three years will be an aid to recruit- ing, because commanders can now as- sure a man that upon servin gout ki three years he will be entitled to per sonal tax exemption the rest of his life. Granted that a young man left the service at 21 years of age, he would not have to pay the tax re- quired period from 21 to 60 years of age, which would be a matter of $39, not figuring the interest. And the $2 will always come in handy for some- thing else. NATIVE OF WESTFCRD Henry C. Storrs, Former Railroad Man, Celebrates Golden Wedding— Wife Native of Vermont. Telegrams and letters of congrat- ulation from all parts of the United States, a_staclk of nearly o foot hign, says a Hartford paper. poured in on Mr. and Mrs. Henry C. Storrs of No. 122 Clark street Friday, in celebration of their golden wedding anniversary. Mr. and Mrs. Storrs were married in Worcester, Mass., Sept. 1, 1866. Delegations from the two loc: posts of the Grand Army of the R public, Sons of Veterans, Woman's Relief’ Corps, and other organizations called and an informal reception was { held in the afternoon from 4 to 6 o’- clock. Many members of the Wind- sor Avenue Congregatiogal church, of which Mr. and Mrs. Storrs are mem- bers, also attended the reception. Henry C. Storrs was born in West- ford, July 19, 1834, the son of Willlam and Harriet E. (Woodward) Storrs. Until he was 16 years old he lived cn a farm with his parents. At that age he went to Willimantic where he was emploved on the old New London. ‘Willimantic & Palmer railroad, now a part of the Grand Trunk system. He later left the railroad and worked in a woolen mill in South Coventrv. Mr. Storrs was made a voter in 1855 and cast_his first vote in Ashford in 1836 for John C. Fremont for president. In 1857 he went to Worcester where he remained until the outbreak of the Civil war. In 1862 he joined the nine- months regulars and served with the: until mustered out at_the end of his term of enlistment. He then re-en- listed for service with the Fourth Heavy Artillery.

A petition signed by many promin- ent business men of the city was pre- sented to the September meeting of the court of common council on Mon- day evening asking the council to take up for discussion the petitions relating to Ahe present enforcement of the traffic regulations, the petitions having been tabled at the regular council meeting in August. In the pe- tition the signers stated that they would be satisfied if the fifteen min- ute time limit be changed to gorty minutes, such, as they say, is the time period in Hartford. After a brief dis- cussion the petition went over to the adjourned meeting of the council to be held on September 18th. ‘The meeting was called to order al 8.20 by Mayor Allyn L. Brown, and the reading of the minutes of the last meeting was omitted and they werce accepted and ordered printed in the Journal. . Clerk Arthur G. Crowell read the return of publication for sidewalks ordered at the last meeting, Mayor Brown anpounced that the hearing on the order afiecting sidewalk owners on Shetucket street was open. As there was no one to be heard, ke declgred the hearing closed. On mo- tion of Couucilman Telley B. Babcock the resolution ordering the sidewalk was approved. When the hearing on the Main street sidewalk was opened Attorney C. V. James arose and said he represented the Misses Nancy and Mary Lucos. owners of the Breed building property. Attorney James said the Misses Lucas think the order should be modifled. "There is a flag walk in front of tho building. The sidewalk is separated from the rest of the walks on thae street by an alley connecting Church and Main streets. The walk ig_on a steep grade and that the Misses Lucas uk a granolithic walk would not be a proper walk to lay or such a grade. Mr. James said he thought the reso- lution should be modified o that the Misses Lucas shouid be required to repair the sidewalk 1f repairs are needed. Mayor Brown eaid thgt he and Mr. Chandler had inspected the sidewalls in common with the others and was of the opinion that this particular walk should be included in the order. As to the grade, My. Chandler said it was not as steep on the Main street side as on the Washington street side and he thought it perfectly feasible to lay a granolithic walk. In regard to the walk in front cof the Capitol lunch, W. A. Somers, owner, said the uneven condition of his nah(, which is of flag, is due to the action of the city. Several years ago the city tore up the flags while Iaying tae granolithic curbs on Main street. In relaying the flags several were broken and were replaced by others. The side- walk has been in poor condition since. He did not feel that he should te re- quired to lay the sidewalk inasmuch a3 the city 1s to blame for its prescnt condition. A recess of ten minutes was igken. at the expiration of which the council filed in and the clerk read the reso- lutions without change. They were adopted. City Treasurer Charles 8.

A petition signzd by a number of prominent business men of the city and asking in effect that the present 15 minute time limit he extended to 40 mijnutes was then read by the clerk. The petition follows: ‘We, the undersigned, taxpayers of the city of Norw ectfully re- quest that your honorable body your next meeting take up and act upon the matter of traffic regulations that was laid on the table at your last meeting. The traffic regulations now in op- eratjon in our opinion are oppressive and the source of much hardship and great inconvenience to the people di- rectly affected and are detrimental to business interests and a reflection on the city in its control and government of the highwaye. We would be satisfied with the traf- fic regulations in force in Hartford, the capital city of the state, that al- low a stop of 40 minutes, which trafic regulations are suspended in their op- eration from 6 o’clock at night to 9 o'cleck in the morning. We feel that common convenience and necessity require a reasonable freedom in the use and occupation of the highways of the city for the best g00d and beneliit of all the people. All of which is respectfully supmit- ted by your petitioners. Dated at the city of Norwich, this ist dgy of Scptember, 1915. The Reid & Hughes Co., The Porte- ous & Mitchell Co., James B.
