On account of this new tax and the additional taxes—state, town, borough and interna! revenue—which the the- ater is called upon to pay an advance in_prices has been made necessary. The schedule of prices for Dantel- son is much the same as will go in force today in other towns and cities in (Conuecticut.

Tn. common with thousands of other towns and cities throughout the coun- try, Danielson is beginning to feel the penny shortage. The coppers are now in demand in ever increasing quanti- liies to meet extra charges for trolley fares, for cigarettes and $obacco, for theatre tickets .and for hundreds of articles that are sold at so-called odd vrices. . Daily now business men are finding it more difficult to keep an adequate supply. of pennies on hand and there js: much scurrying about to zet the jlittle’ coins so urgently ‘needed in i transacting the country’s ~war-basis business.

Stoeck- el, had an interview with Direc Russell Chittenden nd' Dean Fred- erick Jones. at New Haven, concern- ing action of the issuance of licenses to students of Yale university. At that conference it was decid:® that as soon as the department is veady to put it into efiect, that a Y. stadent, in order to obtain a lice must have a certificate fromitire dea or director of the school. in which he is studying, to the effeet that he fx a :_roper person to have such a license. his is to put the responsibility for #ie issuance of licenses to students upon parents or guardians.
