H., No. 34, meets at 796 Main Street, The regular meeting of the Willi- mantic common council was held with Alderman Plerre Laramee who is traveling in the west, the only ab- sentee. Mayor Charles A. Gates calied the meeting to eorder shortly after 8 o'clock and in a session lasting not quite an hour and three-quarters the city fathers transacted a considerable amount of business. The most impor- tant piece of business carried out was the raising of the salaries of the mem- bers of the police department and the suthorizing of Sunday movies. Immediately after the meeting was called to order Attorney Thomas J. Kelley addressed the council on be- half of Sunday movies, presenting a petition from Hymau S. Schwartz of | lessee of the Loomer opera, Norwich, house. Mr. Kelley traced the history of Sunday amusement in this state from the time of the old biue laws and said that Sunday movies were no worse under the law than Sunday au- tomobile riding. - The last lesisiature made the legality of movies on the Sabbath a matter of loeal option. Mr. Helley said that since this law Sun- day movies had been authorized in Hartford, New Haven, Norwich @nd other places through the state. William A. Dawson spoke in_favor of a petition which he presented ask-; ing permission to censtruct a tile drain across Pleasant street. He said that as it was now the water from a brook there backed up into his cellar, espe- clally during the spring. He suggest-| ed that the city aid the property own- | ers in consiructing a culvert large enough to handle the water right. The minutes of the meeting of June were read and acCepted. The police report showing a total of 32 arrests, of which 13 were for drunkenness, was read and accepted. The street -department report was read and accepted.

Resolu- tion adopted. Resolution No. 1448, Sunday movies was presented and called _forth some discussion.

Mitchell of the bad corner which the dewalk being laid by the Amer- an Thread company will be made at the corner of lves and Dunham street. that the proposed repairs be very expensive and that he did not believe there was _money enough for this and the sidewalks which have been petitioned for.

Alderman Flynn opposed the resolution until the ecity was able to finance the move. The motion was carried. Resolution was offered giving the purchasing committee power to pur- chase a pulmotor for the police de- ! partment 'if they see fit. The matter of the swamp on Chap- man sireet was discussed.

S, The suspension of the exportation of refined sugar from the United States by order of the Uniled States Sugar Equalization Board, in order to correct local deficiencies and prevent the up- ward movement of local. prices, len interest to a statement just compiled by tnc National City Bank of New York showing 1 ovportation of re- fined suenr from the United Stat during the last 50 ccars. It shows that the quantity of refined sugar ex- ported from the United States in the five yvears since the beginning of the war is more than double that of the half centurv preceding the war. The quantity sent out of the country in the five years ending with June, 1919, is, in round terms, 5,000.000,000 pounds against 2.000,000,000 pounds in the half century nreceding the war and the value in the five year war period was $290,000,000 against $120,000,000 in the half century prior to. the war, The sudden demands upon the Unit- d States for refined sug=r which carae with the beginning of the war, says the bank's statement. is due to the fact that most of the Eurepean coun- tries which had formerly relicd for their sugar upon the beet flelds of Germany, Austria-Hungary and Rusaia found thelr usual oupplies gut off by the war and were compelied to loolk to the cane sugar area of the world for thelr supplies. The eane sugar area is chiefly Ctiba, Porto Rico, Hawall, the Philippine Talands, Java and Tndin. Cuba and our own imlande send their raw sugar te the United Btates (o bo refined; Indin consumes all of itz sugar locally; and Java exports a 1arge pro- portion of her product in the raw gtate to her neighbora in the Orleat, es- peclally India, Auntrella and Japan, The Latin-American countriea which produce about 1,000,000 {ens annually have little for exportation, This loft Cuba and the isiands belonging to the United States as the chief ayailable source for cane sugar. and as all of isinds have been sending their these raw product to the United States for ing, quite naturaily the European requiring sugar turned to this country for supplies of the refined artiele. As a consequence of this ronditien the quantity of/ refined sugar 'exported from the United States in our fiscal year 1815, the first year of the war was 550.000,000 pounds, in 1916 1,630, 000,000, in 1817 1,250,000,000, in 1918 575,000,000 and in 1919 approximately €'1,000,000,000 pounds. This. makes for the 5 year war period approximately 5,000,000.000 pounds of refined sugar exported, while the Bank's statement shows that in the 50 years prior.to the war the quantity of refined sugar ex- ported was, in round terms, 2,000,000,- 000 pounds. The velue of the 5,000,000,600 pounds exported during the war period was mately $120,000,000 in the 50 years prior to the war. While export prices during the war period were much highér than those in the period immediately preceding the war they were materially less than those in the éarly part of the 50 year period prior’ to the war. The aver- age export price of the refined sugar sent out of the United States during the war ranged from 4.7c per pound in 1915 to about 7.1c in 1919, while the average expport price in 1871 was 13.2c per pound, in 1875 10.8c, in 1880 9.0c, 1890 7.0¢, 1900 4.5¢, 1905 3.5c, and in the fiscal year 1914, all of which preceded .the war, 3.6c. While most of the exportation frem the United States has gone to, Burope, the other parts of the world are grad- ually turning to the United States as a new source of supply, and the ex- ports of refined sugar in the fiscal year 1918 were to Argentina 93,000,000 ppounds, Uraguay 21,000,000, Mexico 18,000,000, Canada 12,000,000, Africa 4,600,000, and Asia (chiefly Japan and India) nearly 1,000,000 pounds.
