Mansfield PROBATE JUDGES MUST GIVE MUCH FREE ADVICE At a meeting of the Connecticut pro- bate assembly, held at the Hartford club last week, Judge John Rockville was elected pres ceed Judge L. P. Waldo Marvin of this whose resignation was accepted. Judge Paul L. Milier of Bridgeport was clecied first vice president to succeed Judge Fahey. Although no member of the legislative committee of the assembly was present to revort the comgmittee’'s acti es to the members, Judge Fahey, in speak ing informally about proposed tion to change the fee system state, said that some members of the legislature seemed to have the idea that judges of probate were “milking their communities.” Judge Fahey sald that every day a judge of probate is called upon to give jegal advice for which it is unethical, if not illegal, to charge anything. Many probate judges are also getting to be deputy collectors of the inheritance tax, and experts on the federal taxes, he said. 5 “Did any of vou gentlemen ever hear of a judge of probate getting rich out of his office? for Judge Maryin's place?” Among those attending the meeting were Charles S. Fuller, Somers; B. Hinckley, Stonington; son, Wilkmantie. Congressman Freeman Busy. ‘Word reached C. B. Montgomery, of|after junch then will bundle his family in- Oneco, late corporal of Co.

Congressman Freeman is also very much alive to the interest of the world war soldiers and has never failed to be on duty when their interests was at stake. The demand for cottages for rent at Ocean Beach has been such that the rental prices have gone up by leaps and bounds, so that instead .of having to pay $500 to $300 for a season’s rental, some of the most desirable cottages are bring- ing from $1,000 to $2,000 a season. received on cunfession of faith.

DROP AGE MINIMUM TO 16 YEARS FOR OPERATORS LICENSE The age minimum for licensed motor vehicle operators in Connecticut is re- duced from 18 years to 16 vears in the general motor vehicle bill which was fa- vorably reported in the semate at Hart- ford last week by the committee on roads, bridges and rivers and tabled for the calendar and printing. The fee forl operators’ licenses is increased to $3. i The time within which non-residents | may operate motor vehicles in Connec-| ticut without being themselves licensed and having their cars registered here is cut in half, being put at fifteen days in- stead of -thirty days, as at present, and not necessarily consecutive. The requirement of the present law that applications for repewal of opera- tors' lloenses be sworn- to is stricken | out in the new bill, provided the appli-| cant hag held a license for the previous year, thus saving fees of notaries pub- lic. The motor vehicle commissioner is| also authorized to waive examination of new applicants if they have held a li- cense from a state where a similar ex-| amination is required. i The reduction of the age minimum to 16 years conforms to the law of adjoin-| ing_ states, and the committee took the! position that it was not fair to Withhold | licenses from Connecticut young men and women of that age as long as per- sons no older from Massachusetts, for instance, were permitted to drive motor vehicles on highways of this state. The| present state law requires nersons be- | tween 16 and 18 years old to be accom- panied by a licensed driver when operat- ing an automobile on public thorough- |} fares. Registration fees for commercial mo- tor vehicles equipped With pneumatic tires are fixed as follows: One ton canacity or less. One and one-half tons Two tons . s For all other commercial motor ve- hicles, the registration fees arc fixed as follows: One ton or less, 2 tons, $50; 2 1 $30; 1 1-2 tons, $40; tons, $60: 3 tons, $70 3 1-2 tons, $90; 4 tons, § 0; 4 12 tons, five tons, $18' 5 1-2 tons, 5; 6 toms, $250. Where the truck capacity exceeds six tons, the fee is fixed at $250 pius $100 for each ton or fraction thereof six, The speed limit is left at 30 miles an | hour on highways and 20/ miles an hour through thickly settled portions of mu- nicipalities. The, operation of motor ve- hicles on public highways for a or in a race for the purpose of m: speed record is specifically prohibited. Authority is given to the motor ve-! hicle commissioner to call upon the state} police department for aid in enfor the motor vehicle law, and the 1 lice are required with such request make arrests in cases where they wit- ness violations or upon speedy informa- tion of violations The bill is a complete and careful re- vision of the existing motor vchicle stat- utes and comprises T4 sections. It is pro- bably the longest bill reported in thi session of the legislature. ; CONNECTICUT NON-CHURCH-GOING PRIEST’S WHITS DAY THEME At the early mass at 7.3 rick's church Sunday nearly the membership of the Rosary societ which Mrs. John A.
