Burns as assistant postmaster at the local pest office entered upen his new duties Tyesday. Postmaster John P. Murphy said Tuesday that other changes, made necespary throngh the resignation of Mr. Burns who is to be placed in charge of another department and the appointment of Mr. Wells will be an- nounced later. The post office business fn Norwich is growing by leaps and bounds. Last year the office did one-third more business than was done the year previous, There has been a tremendous increase in the stamp business which now nearly reaches, the £100,000 mark every twelve months. The postmaster said he is werking out a pian whereby the clerical work will be more evenly divided -up. The matter of inguiries and claims for indemnities is greatly increasing the troubles of the post office force. This work is handled in the postmaster's office. One thing that causes a great deal of trouble in settling claims is the little in- terest shown by shippers for their own Drotection. Very often a-person who wants to claim indemnity for,lost insured packages appears in the postmaster's of- fice without any receipt such as is issued whenever a package was Insured and sometimes With only a hazy idea as to When the package was mailed. All they. know is that they mailed the package, that it was insured and that it was not delivered. Unless the shipper presents his receipt it is a very difficult matter to trace the missing packege. The receipt carries a number which gives the post office clerks a clue upon which to work and definite information demanded by the post office départment in Washington before the. claim can be paid. Postmaster Murphy wishes to impress upon the patrons of the office the neces- sity for preserving their receipts and al- S0 suggests that.the shipper write on the back of the receipt the name and address of the person to. whom the pack- age was consigned in order that he may easily identify the receipt should he need it in making a clatm. Previous to the last few months the claims for loss of packages had to be made through Washington but lately the postmasters of the offices from which the missing packages were mailed have been handling this matter directly with the person making the claim. Claims are now put through within four or,five weeks whereas before that time ij = generally teok eight or ten months to settle .a claim. HODGE STABLE AUCTION ATTRACTS BIG'CROWD Severfteen horses, carriages, sleighs and harnesses and hacks were sold at auction Tuesday in closing up the es. tate of the late George E.

J. Bennett this afternoon. when a hearing was held before the legislative committees on finance and roads, bridgs and_rivers, sitting jointly. THe bill given. consideration was that of the commissioner which proposed a. re- Vision upwards of truck licenge fees to an extent, In the case of big truck: which before and at the hearing was d olgred pronibitive and exorbitant. Mapufacturers, merchants and owners of trucks, and coungel for or representa- tives of automabile and other assoctatigns, not only protested against the Bemnett schedule, but declared that adverse le isiation would mot drive the big trucks off the state highways, but would drive them to registration in other states, so that the state treasury would get noth- ing in return for damage dons to Connec icut roads, and instead of increased rev- nue being derived the contrary would true. e ehfef point In the onposition to the hill was the concession made by all that truck owners were willing to pay 100 per cent. increase over present registra- tion' fees, “hut not ena cent mere” Ome speaker, declaring that an Increase aboye 100ger cent. “would be fought topth and nall, "and to the bitter end,” provoked much applause. ‘s “Rough Guessin & Some speakers deciarad that the' state highways were not damaged so much by trucks as the commissioner eiaimed. that the Toads were rict built as well 3s they ought to be, that Mr. Benpett's argument on wear and tear was mot scentifically deducted. but was “‘merely rough guess- ing,” that his schedule of fees was not well prepared and that if his ideas were carried out the state highways would go back and not forward.. Other speakers declared that the Ben- nett bill aimed to “give life” to the rail- Toads by driving the trucks off the roads. Apparently every peint of the oppoesition was brought out by the truck advocates. The house chamber was crowded and 50 many men were in readiness to talk that the committee allowed a limited number of minutes to each. This compelied the speaXers to state their points tersely and it also developed many views of the grounds for opposition, . Boemmett Presents Fifures, Highway Commissioner Bennett alone spoke for his schedule of fees, support- ing it by statements on:the cost of bullding highway surfaces to withstand the tremendous volume of trucking across the state. the extent of damage done. the Dridges broken down by' excassiv loads on trucks. the cost of maintenance and the general economic conditions. He made his plea for his achedule on the grounds that the big trucks can easfly meet the figures hecause they are, have been and will be large Drofit earners, While the opposition had the floor, Mr. Ha an exnert engineer, who repre- sented the motor vehicle confrence com- mittee of New York. started to rescribe studies made of roads, the use of motor vehicles on roads and the economic prob- lems involved. Senator Macdonald of Putnam Intérrupted io say that “this is a’ Connecticut question, to be settled by a Connooticut legislature after Connectieut taxpayers have been heard.” Mr. Hauer replied that he asmumed the committee desired as much {nform tion as possible. He qualified as a representative of a motor concern incor- porated in- Connecticut. He briefly took up the sclentific side of ‘truck operation on roads and methods of determining the damage done, He said that action now would have influence for the next fifty vears, He claimed that a 15-ton truck does no more- damage than a seven and one-half ton truck, and that as roadmak- ers devise wavs fo meet highway dam- age, £o truck makers will try to meet the problem of damage to roads. He said Mr. Bennett's bill would drive Connectiout trucks off Connecticut roads. as the five states which haye high registration fees have no big trucks of their own regis- tration en their highways. Mr. Hauer said that Mr. Bennett's fees wers unreasonable and he bared the statement on facts develo tests made by the publio roads de- pertment at Washington. Claims Law Unconstitutional. Senator Brooks, one of the speakers, claimed that the suto tax law ls un- constitutional. He said he belleved it would be unconstitutional wuntil every user of & public Toad pays his partiof the cost. He was sorry that this point had not been fought out o a finish when it was first brought up. He said the bill would drive Connecticut back for many vears. The state had aiways been one of progress, but If anything was done like this Connecticut would be a laugh- Ing stock for the whole country as the Place where big fees are placed on an automobile to pass over “roads that are a joke.* Senator Brooks said that during the war it was impossible o get the rail- roads to carry frelght and it was the truck which brought raw goods and car- ried away the finisfied goods. “If vou are going to put on big fees” he ‘added, “give us some rights on the highways. A driver of an automobile is a criminal when he starts out. He i taxed from start to finigh, and if any thing happens the police can get the driver while the driver of every other vehicle on the road gets away with it.” A. P. Marsh of New Britain said that some years ago men from the wes and south told us that railroads would soon be obsolete, but we in New Kagland would be last to realize it.” What Tracks Did In War, “Where would we have been during the war if it was not for the motor truck?” Mr. Marsh asked. “The aim of this bill is to drive the tryck off the highway. We admit the railroads at the present time can-take care of business, but what of the future?’ Mr? Hall of Waterbury, rocer, and chairman of the Connecti- cut Automobile Association Legisiative committee, said that ka2 believed the state should pay a vear's license fee to trucks for what thev have been doing in the past two or three years. Ralph 0. Wells of Hartford, for the Hartford Retail Merchants’ Association, said that the bill would drive trucks oft the highways, but would drive trucs red in this stdte off, and the state treasury would net recéive money for the use of the stato highways. Comnecticut is surrounded by states with low reg- istration fees and such a°bill would ai- low wholesalers in Springfleld to take business away from Hartford merohants, e said. Senator Delaney of Bridgeport, for Bridgeport manufacturers opposed the bill. He eaid manufacturers are ready to fccept mot over 100 per cent. increase over the present fees. et e R MODERN WOODMEN BEGIN WHIST EVENING SERIES The first of & serles of whists was held by the Modern Woodmen in Steiner's hall Tuesday evening with 35 tables played.
