Despite the amount of toll charges across the bridge. which are in excess of ferry toll, the bridge has been ejoying the bulk of the patronage and will average throughout the year mwnthly net receipts of better than $6,000 to $7,000, The suggestion iz also made trat the state be asked to pur- chase and operate the ferry. The ferry problem confronting the city of New London is to be threshed out in the legislature and the question of whether New London is going to-be com- pelled to operate the ferry at a loss or g ) the franchise, or be allowed to in- crease the toll to an amount that wil) enable the cit; to at least break even probably will be settled once and for all. In the minds of many, to make the toll bridge a free bridge is goig)g to even nfore i affect the ferry business. It is believed that in Such an event all ve- hicular traffic would then have to use the bridge and the ferry would be maintained at a nominal expense sumply for the ac- in 2 i * seven Dutch | commodation of foot passengers to whom 23, 1843, the oldest son of the late Na. | Rufus J.

The autdbmobile owners are com- pelled to pay double taxation. They are taxed by the towns where the owners are required to list their real and personal property and they are taxed by the state according to the horsepower of the vehicle before they can tiavel on thestate highways. Vehicles other than automobiles are not so taxed. The money derived goes into re construction improvements and ntenance, but automobile owners generally feel that in view of D | the amount of money which they pay the state, they should not be compelled to pay other fees every time they come to a river. Tae toll bridges form an integral part of the trunk line highways of this state and as such are under the control of the highway de- partment. 3 It is not €o great a hardship to #m- pose a toll fee on turists who rarely have occasion to use a bridge, and it is doubtless a fair proposition to com- pel out-f-state tourists to contribute through such manner, a fee for the privilege of using the highways of Connecticut but when a bridge is lo- cated as the Thames river bridge, between two towns, where there is ansiderablg travel all the time, it is felt to be a distinct hardship on res- idents of those towns to have to pay excessive tolls so regularly. The state of Connecticut built the bridge at Saybrook about eight or inine years ago. It is understood at that time that tolls shuld be charged f a period of years sufficient to reimburse the state for the total cost of that brit 1t is Dbelieved that that sum has been received during the past eight or nine years. The state was authorized to issue bonds if nec- essary for the construction of the bridge, but it is understood that the state was not obliged to do this. The Thames river bridge was a gift to the state from the N. Y, N. H. & H. R.

This bridge has been opened a little more than a vear and doubtless has not yet taken in a sufficient sum to equal the cost of alteration. The bridge at Haddam did not cost 80 much as either of the other bridges. and has probably not yet paid for itself in tolls. It is understood that.the state in- tended to charge a toll on all three bridges until «he total sum received should equal the total sums expended in building or altering them. It is thought that the sum total has pretty nearly been reached at this time. There is a feeling at any rate that | the state has had enough -revenue and that automobilists are paying enough to the state for good roads purposes to war- rant a request at this time to make the bridges free.

J. L. Crawford was elect- ed a member of the chamber. The following committee was approv- ed by the directors to act as the health and sanitation committee of the cham- ber: Dr. R. R. Agnew, Dr. E. J. Jones, Dr. E. J. Brophy, Howard L. Stantonm, J. Dana Coit, D. D. Disco, Edward J. Graham, Charles L. Stewart and James C. Macpherson. - Preparations are now being ‘made by the forum committee for the January fo- rum, which will discuss revaluation. This will be an open meeting and open dis- cussion of this important matter is in- vited. As this is the first plank in the programme of work, it is expected to be a most interesting meeting because of the interest in the question manifested on all sides. . o A referendum to the members will be mailed the latter part of this- week on the subject of Daylight Saving. Several bills are now before congress on this matter and it is to secure the sentiment of the members that this question is to be submitted.~ The result will be sent our congressman and U. S. senators as indicating the choice of the local cham- ber in the matter and urging their as- sistance to secure favorable action on the choice as made. The question of regulating solicitations from the manufacturers and business in- terests generally is being worked out. Every member of the Chamber of Com- merce will be suppiied with dieplay cards stating - that before any donations are made to unknown solicitors, approved cards must be secured from the secretary of the chamber. These will be given only after due investigation has been made and the soliciting found to be honorable. This precaution is necessary to safe- guard the business men of Norwich from Dbogus or questionable solicitations. The transportation committee is con- tinuing its efforts to have the Thames river so developed that it will take care of the proper navigation for larger ves- sels than those coming here at the pres- ent time. A complete industrial survey of the city and town is being made by the com- mittee on industries to ascertain the facts concerning industrial life and op- portunities in* Norwich. At the request of this committee Postmaster J. P. Mur- phy has added to the burdens of the let- ter carriers the job of reporting all va- cant tenements or houses on their routes. The number of vacant tenements report- ed is 88. The directors of the chamber, the town school board ‘and the -chamber’s commit- tee on education will hold a conference on the local situation Monday evening of next week. The committee on education made a report to the directors relative to the condition of the local:school houses and this matter will be discussed in or- der that some solution of the question can be ascertained. At a previous meeting of the directors W. H. Donohue, representing the Cen- tral Labor Union, was elected a .member of the chamber. |PO‘?B'I'H INSTALLMENT DUE— INCOME-EXCESS PROFITS TAXES Collector of Internal Revenue Jamos J. Walsh calls the attention of every tax. payer in Connecticut to the -following facts in regard to the final payment of the income and excess profits taxes due this yedr. Dec. 15 will be the last day for pay- ment of the fourth instajiment of the in- come and excess Drofits taxes due this year. To avoid penalty, the tax must be in the office of the collectof of internal revenue by rudi ht of that date. Inquiries reaching the collector indicate a belief that taxpayers have ten day, grace on this installment. This is not Such provision was contained in the 1917 revenue act but was removed by the rev- enue act of 19:8. Payment of the fourth installment may be made in cash or by check or money order. The collector urges that whenever possible payment be made by check or money order. This method saves the tax- payer a trip to the collector’s offics and avoids congestion at the cashier's window. Check or money order should be made out to James J, Walsh, collector of internal revenue. Bills will be sent to taxpayers, but failure to receive a bill does not relieve the taxpayer of his obligation to Pay on time, the collecto: annouacement says. e A T T AT CHRISTMAS SPAI SALES NFARING $3,000 MARK Mail order retu'ns to the amount of $147.50 increased the Christmas seal fund to $2,783.22 on Thursday, bringing the total within easy reach of the $3,001 mark, and it is expected that the gcal wili be reached before tke end of the week. In reviewing the work that has been done during the past year through the sale of seals a vear ago it is shown that without the necessary funds the ravages of the white plague in Noiwich would have been materially greater. This year the.fight is still to go on, and if people of Nor- wich want bettér health in the city: they should not only just raise the fund to the $3,000 mark but should give the city a fund with which the work that has been started should be increased. Because the intensive drive has ‘been completed, it does not necessarily follow that seals cannot be purchused or contri- butions made. The money given all goss for a great humanitarian cavge, and there cannot be too much of it. BOY SCOUTS REPOET $3,500 . IN OPPORTUNITY WEEK Those in charge of raising the funds in Boy Scouts’ Opportunity week reported at the close of their work THursday that $3.500 is easily in sight, although the completed reports up to Thursday night showed $3,426. The returns Thursday showed a total of 3683, made up of $355 in cash and $328 in pledges.

The federal men intimated to Mayor H. M. Lerou that tfey would take up the caseés of all those wWho had been arrested under the state laws and that in all prob- ability prosecution under the Volstead act would follow immediately on a summons. Cases prosecuted by the federal officers will come up before U. S. Commissioner Earl Mathewson. Thé local raids have all been conduct- ed under the state Statutes and after the cases of the local saloon keepers have been disposed of by the court, it is claim- ed, the federal enforcement agencies will take up the matter, as the selling of the liquor is i vielation of the Volstead aci. This means that a dozen or more local saloon keepers who have been arrested will not only have to pay the $200 fine imposed by the local court but will have as large a fine if not larger’ to pay to the U. S. distriét court if convicted by that court. The finding of the Jocal court will have great bearing with . the district court and practically nothing will have to be done but to impose sentences, it is claimed.
