PROSECUTE OPERATORS WHO FALSIFY STATEMENTS It is the intention of Motor Vehicle Commissioner Stoeckel o have auto- mobile operators who falsely swear to the accuracy of the statements in their applications for licenses prosecuted for perjury. He is satisfied that some per- sons in their eagerness to secure oper- ators’ licenses make statements and swear to their accuracy which are at variance with facts. ’l‘he plan of the commissioner is to act in co-operation with the state po- lice. The names of those who have sworn to incorrect statements in their applications for licenses will be given to the state police for investigation. One of the meost serious causes of trouble in the regulation of automobile traffic is the tendency of boys and per- number of their years for the purpose of obtaining a license. The commis- sioner is determined to take particular pains ot put a step to that practice. The minimum age is 18 vears. The commissioner points out that it is per- jury to swear to the accuracy of state- ments on the back of an application for ?l]lcense when they are known to be alse.

Bur- ! ihat the former empioyes there will entereq upon her third year of study | At a hearing in the superior court on Tuesday, Judge Joel H. Reed dis- missed the petition of John C. Geary and others, majority stockholders in the Thames Dyeing and Bleaching company of East Lyme, for the ap- pointmfent of appraisers to fix vaiua- tion of the stock held by the minority stockholders, Henry C. Holmes and Thomas G. Haney of New London. who allege mismanagement of the affairs of the company on the part of the treas- urer, and have asked for the appoint- ment of a receiver. This petition was brought under Section 3445 of the general statutes which provides that whenever minor- ity stockholders are aggrieved at the conduct of the affairs of a corpora- tion and shall “petition for the ap- pointment of receiver, any other stockholder or stockholders may ap- ply to said court by the petitioner by an appraiser to be appointed by the court.” etc. The petitioners. Holmes and Haney, have petitioned Judge George E. Hin- man for the appointment of a receiver. which hearing was to have been held on September 13, but was continued to_September 25. In connection with the application to Judge Hinman allegations were made in a _complaint filed asking for a_receivership and dissolution of The Thames Dveinz and Bleaching Co.. which complaint is returnable to the superior court the first Tuesday in October. The motion heard Tuesday was brought subsequent to the petition for the receivership and was brought by John C. Gearv and others, ma- jority stockholders. This action was desired so that the majority stockhoiders would obtain an appraisal of the stock held by Holmes and Haney which would then be demanded from them and pur- chased by the other stockholders, and would ~eliminate the pesitioners as stockholders ‘in the company and thus render their complaint of mismanage- wmea? Wealid. 3 At the’ opening of the hearing At- torney C. L. Avery asked that the mo- tion-for ‘the anpraisal be granted un- der Sections 3443, 4 and 5. Attorney McGuire offered a_plea in abatement. and argued that it was a question. of jurisdietion. tained that fhis action should have been brought before Judge Hinman and not before Jjudge Reed in that it was an action ancilliary .to the main complaint, returnable until the first Tuesday in October, - and should not be deter- mined until after the facts were as- certained in the principal action. Judge Reed said that the matter of jurisdiction was one to be first deter- mined. After the arguments Judge Reed said that he would dismiss the application, as he felt that it should have been brought either hefore Judge Hinman or that.it should have been hrought before the October term of court. He said that it was not for him to decide hefore whom it should have been brought. but the only question before him was as to the advisabil of appointing appraisers at this time and he falt that this was the time to do it. Attorney Avery asked it the application was dismissed with- out prejudice and Judge Reed told him it was dismissed entirely without pre- judice Mr. Avery asked if he could renew the application at a later date and was informed that he might do so. CONTINUED WET WEATHER i CAUSES POTATO BLIGHT The humble potato threatens to add | its full quota to the woes of the high | cost of living next winter, and largely because of the unusual weather condi- tions prevailing in Connecticut during August and_ early September. The acreaze was large nad the yield prom- | ises to be Zeneraly good, but the con- tinued wet weather has brouzht on late blight to an extent not fully deter- mined but knewn to be serious. Rot_in storage is the element to he feared, according to M. I. Abell of the department of agronomy at Connecti- cut Agricultural college at Storrs. On the theory that it is better to allow blight-struck potatoes to rot in thel field than in the cellar. where each| diseased potato infects healthy ones, Mr. Abell advises growers not to dig| potatoes until ten days or two weeks! after the vines have died “If potatoes are dug at once savs Mr. Abell. “the blight spores that have | been washed down from the leaves and stems through the thin soil covering| will attack the potatoes. If dug at this time potatoes that seem to be healthy | may be put in storage but will develop | blight when stored. By leaving in the| { ground ten days or two weeks these| potatoes rot in the fisld and those not rotted or showinz signs of rot are probably free from blight.” Mr. Abell advises thorough drving in open air of the potatoes hefore putting | in storage. but care should be taken to | i ! i i prevent sun scalding. The potatoes! | should be spread thinly in the cellar| | and not piled or sacked. Culling of all{ potatoes showing any sign of blight | should be attended to before storing. There seems to be a tendency on the part of some growers. including even heme garden to sell their potatoes ! | at once. Mr. Abell points out that! such a practice would cause.a heavy | d-op in the market and would inevita- blv increase the price sreatly nex winter, after the cron had entirely left i | growers.

Walsh has received from Commission- er Roper instruciions regarding the tax. Com- missioner l.oper says that the drive has not been pushed hard enough in some districts and urges all collectors to proceed at once in a systematic or- Zonization and a vigorous enforce- ment of the provisions of the law. Collector Walsh says that his office is still working on.the receipts of the third quarterly installment and that as soon as the work is straightened out, the office will check up the returns and take the proper measures against delinquents. The penalty for failure to comply with income tax regulations is a fine of 5 per cent. Delinquents are the entire amount due immediately upon notice from the coliector. Collector Walsh savs that in the re- turns received for the third install- ment of the income tax te same care- essness on the part of pavees was no- ticeable. - The office received numer- ous checks in payment of taxes from persons who did not say which tax they wished to pay nor in some: cases even gzive their names. This causes the office a great deal of extra work and much inconvenience to the de- linquents. Collector Walsh says that such persons are ed as entirely de- linquent until they prove that they have paid the tax due Collector George F. O'Shaughnessy, woh ‘was recently appointed to take charge of the office which is to be started in Rhode lsland, has sent six of his clerks io the Hartford office 1o begin the wark of taking over the re- cords. pertaining to° Rhode -Island. These_ clerks are also helping out in the differént departments of the of- fice so that they wiil be able to or- ganize move completely and fully en the new office opens.
