Central Fifty years ago in Norwich the truss on the east. side of the Laurel Hill bridge fell into the river.” On the New London Northern railroad two trains came together in collision. At a me: ing of the common council the ques- tion of having a permanent water sup- ply for the city was discussed: Extracts from The Bulletin’s files of *66_follow: Dec. 24, 1866—One side of the new iron bridge, in process of erection across the Shetucket to Laurel Hill, fell with a terrible crash into the river about three o'clock Saturday afternoon. The part which fell was the truss on the upper or eastern side, ‘which was ed early last week, and had been shored up up to hold it until the other side could be com- pleted, when the two were to be joined | together and the roadway laid be- tween them. The truss was of heavy iron posts and rdds about eighteen feet high and the lenghth of the span between the abutments. The work- men were busy upon the lower side of the bridge, when, without any warn- ing, the opposite truss commenced falling outwards, breaking the guys placed to hold it, and turning com- pletely over fell into the river below. Fortunately no one was injured by the fall. The accident is beleived to have been caused by a slipping of one of the props, which pushed the of the truss over, and the vibration of the wooden platform upon which it rested finished the mischief. The Norwich and Worcester rail- road has declared a semi-annual divi- dend of four per cent. free of govern- ment taxation, payable January 4th, The annual meeting of the stockhold- ers for the election of directors will be held Jan. 9th. The river was frozen over Saturday so that the City of Norwich only came to Allyn’s Point whence her cargo was sent up by rail. Lester Fuller Loses One Finger. Dec. 25, 1866—Lester Fuller, whil engaged in_repairing the “pit track’ in the engine house of the Norwich and Worcester railroad on Saturday sustained a severe injury of the right hand, which resulted however, in_ the loss of but one finger—amputated by DF. Warren. About 9 o'clock Monday morning one of the men employed in John Doyle's furniture store went to the cellar to draw some shellac for a Mr. Hiscox, who accompanied him. While the fluid into a measure, the ing from it took fire from a lamp and for a_ few minutes there was a_prospect of a conflagration, but wet cloths finally put out the flame. Mr. Hiscox had his left arm badly burned by the fire and Dr. Warren was called upon to dress it. The ice in the rivers about here broke up Monday morning. and the preceding rains having carried away | the snow, we shall have a green Christmas today. The ice came down the Shetucket river about twelve clock in considerable quantities and hed against the iron rods of the ruined truss that reached from the bridge to the river's bed, but was crushed by it so that no damage was done to the bridge. . 26, 1866—There was no Bulle- printed on this date as the em- pliyes of the company did not work on_the 25th, it being Christmas. Dec. 1866—The Catholic fair opened brilliantly at the Breed hall last evening. The arrangements of articles is marked by the same good taste that was manifest last year, and the quality and quantity has not been excelled at any fair held in the hall this year.

City, Meeting to Decide Water Ques- tion. Dec. 28, 1866—A city meeting was held pursuant to call in Treadway hall on Thursday afternoon. There was a very fair attendance, considering the weather. At 2 P. M. the meeting was called to order by Mayor Blackstone, when after the reading of the call, the clerk read a report of the com- mittee. appointment at the May 7th to take into consideration the subject of supplying the city with pure water from a permanet source. The com- mittee reported having considered several sites for the location of a res- evoir but the water supply was used by factories for power and the pur- chasing of them would be too great. To make the purchase of land and to pipe the water to the city it was es- timated ' that it would require about $150,000. It was voted to accept the report. About 2 A. M, Thursday after a monlight night with a temperature more like April than December, the sky became overclouded and there was light fall of snow which turned to rain. ‘We learn that the name of the new iron steamer for the Norwich and New York line will be the City of Law- rence. Serious Railroad Accident. Dec. 29, 1866—A serious railroad accident occurred on the New Lon- don Northern railroad, a short dis- tance above Montville, on Friday aft- ernoon. The passenger train which usually leaves this city for New Lon- don at 10:18 A. M. and starts on its return trip about 1:45" P. M., having beeng delayed by the accident to the first train up.on the road did not go down until 3 P. M., and started on its return with 35 passengers near five o'clock. At the point named it came in collison with the Norwich and Worcester way freight which left this city at five o'clock. -The collision was sudden and fierce, throwing one en- gine down the bank, setting the other up on end and smashing things gen- erally in the fore part of the train. Leban Dean, fireman on the freight engine was buried four hours under his_engine, but when extricated no hoped that he received no internal in- juries. No one was killed by the ac- cident though four persons were more or less injured. At an early hour telegram was recei nouncing the wreck of the Commodore of the Stonington-New York line. No particulars were given forth than that the steamer had gone ashore at Horton's Point, six miles from Greenport, Long Island.

An entirely new and apparently gch oil field has been discovered in ]CORPORATION AND INCOME TAX. Different Forms Announced by Col- lector James J. Walsh, Collector of Internal Revenue James J. Walsh announces that the different forms for corporation and income have been mailed to the taxpayers in this district, which comprises Connecticut and Rhode Island. The number of forms for corpora- tions have been reduced to three, namely, form 1030 and 1030A for in- surance comparnies, 1031 for all other corporations. General instructions are given rela- tive to their preparation, and the time limit for filing these returns is March 1, 1917. The supplementary statements must be complete in every detail, and the non-receipt of forms is no excuse for the non-filing of these returns. The penalty for failure to have returns in the hands of the collector of inter- nal revenue within the time required by law is not more than $10,000 and the assessment is increased 50 per cent. Extension of time will not be given except in_extreme cases; the fact that one officer is absent from the country will not be a sufficient excuse, Corporations are advised that re- turns will not he accepted on blanks prescribed in former years. Income tax blanks are Nos. 1040, revised, and 1041, revised, and are used as follows: 1040, revised, for individu- als; 1041, revised, for fiduciaries.” Tax- payers are requested to read the form carefully ‘and fill in pages two and three before making entries on page one. The questions noted on page four require complete answers and the wife’s income must be stated sepa- rately on the return unless she chooses to make a return independent of the husband. In no case must the ex- emption of $4,000 be exceeded in the combined return of husband and wife. If the wife has no income, then it should be so stated in the return. For failure to have these returns in the hands of the collector of internal reve- nue on or before March 1, 1917, the penalty is $20 to $1,000, and the as- sessment is increased 50 per cent. Taxpayers should bear in mind that these returns should be sworn to be- fore a notary public or other officer authorized by law to administer oaths, this includes deputy collectors of in- ternal revenue. All blanks give full and explicit Instructions necessary to ccmplete the returns. % ‘Withholding agents on bénds, ac- crued interest, etc., must file their an- nual report on or before March 1, 1917. Particular attention is invited to the act of Sept. 8, 1916, which reads that non-resident aliens must file a return on form 1040, revised, to include all income derived from within the United States. Upon filing such, non- resident alien will be allowed ‘the specific exemption, otherwise not. All persons or person having a mnet income of $3,000 or more, including dividends are required to make and file a return of such income; likewise, persons whose net income is satisfled at the source.

If dogs are to continue their freedom, sheep raising in Connecticut will be wiped out alto- gether. “I would compel every man who owns a dog to keep it so confined on his premises that it will be unable to invade another man’s property. The seriousness of this dog question is generally recognized. Governor Hol- comb, himself, has commented upon it and I understand some measure will be brought before the legislature in an effort to remedy the condition.” The situation regarding rabies is considered serious in the soutawest- ern part of the state. Outbreaks of rabies have been reported from New Haven, Hamden, Danbury, Ridgefieid, Naugatuck, Middlebury and points ad- Jacent to New York state. In West- chester county, New York, outbreaks have also been reported, but it is a question if the trouble originated in the adjoining state. The most serious outbrealk in Con- necticut during the past few days oc- curred in.Hamden last Saturday night, when a dog affected with rabies at- tacked two men and a girl and killed nearly' two score of chickens before it was finally put to death by a posse headed by the town constable. The girl bitten is in a - recent outbreak of rables in the-south- western part of the state, from New Haven westward. The commis- sioner believes the situation serious and urges all dogs in the state be re- stricted to their owner’s premises. He also advocated the killinz of strange dogs by the proper authorities. Mr. Phelps pointed out the fact that sheep raising in Connectf:ut had fail- ed, owing to the large number of dogs in the state. The sheep raising Indus- try, which could be made a profitable one in Connecticut, is entirely at the mercy of the dogs, said the commis- sioner, who believes the dog problem in counection with the-sheep question should be brought up before the com- ing session of the general assembly. all assessments paid by June 15, 1917. Tt is requested that any person or corporation who fail to receive their blanks by Jan. 2d will immediately write Collector . Walsh _at Hartford, Conn., requesting that blanks be for- warded. Returns may be filed in the follo ing offices, which are located in_the postoffice buildings: Hartford, New Haven, Bridgeport and Providence. As the number of returns to be filed will exceed 35,000, it is suggested that returns be filed promptly, thereby se- curing better and efficient _service. This will not in any way affect the toxpayer, as the time limit on pay- ments is fixed by law, June 15, 1917. “The only thing to do at the pres- RABIES SITUATION ent time,” said the commissioner, * CONSIDERED SERIOUS |to restrict all dogs to their owners’ premises. There are too many strange dogs wandering around in the state. It seems a pity that the sheep industry is at the cercy of any strangs dogs wandering about.
