B GASOLINE DISTRIBUTORS MUST OBTAIN STATE LICENSE Commissioner Stoeckel and _Deputy Commissioner Macdonald of the state motor vehicle department, conferred on Thursday, with more than a score of rep- resentatives of oil distributing compan- ies relative to the collection of the new state tax on combustible fluids used for motor vehicle and motor boat purposes. The conference was held in the old sen- ate chamber at the capitol and proposed regulations to facilitate and expedite the collection of the one cent a gallon tax The tax, it is estimat- The tax is embodied in the bill adopt- ed by the general assembly last week and which is expected to receive the approval| of Governor Lake.. Yesterday's confer- ence dealt with the general purpose of the bill, and the meeting adjourned after it was decided that the oil men appoint a committee to draft a set of regula- tions for the collection of the tax. Under the provisions of the bill dis- tributors Wil pay the tax to the state treasurer on the first day of every month. On the 15th of each month the distribu- tors will file with the motor vehicle commissioner a statement showing how much oil was sold in the month preced- ing. Before the first of the month the motor vehicle commissionér will submit to the state treasurer a list of distribu, tors and the number qf gallons delivered by each during the period for which the tax is due. Records and statements of the distrib- utors are to be open to inspection by the motor vehicle commissioner or his inspectors at all times. Under the pro- visions of the bill a_distributor includes ‘any person, association of persons, firm T corporation wherever resident or lo- cated who imports or causes to be im- rorted for sale fueis as herein defined, into the state; and also any person, as- sociation of persons, firm or corporation who produces, refines, manufactures or compounds fuels as hereln defined within the state.” Every distributor is required within ® days after the act goes into effect and thereafter before continuing in or beginning to transact the business of a distributor, to obtain a license from the commissioner of motor vehicles, per- mitting him to continue or to begin the business within this state. ECTICUT CO. FARED WELL THROUGH JITNEY REGULATIONS How well the Connecticut Company and other trolieys fared at the hands of the state legislature that adjourned this veek remains to be seen. The Connec- ticut company especially seems to have had a biz burden lifted, its chief gain coming from the chance to have jitney competition eliminated and from getting the right to operate bus lines in its ter- ritory as well as in paving. In the matter of taxes, the Connec- ticut Company was given six years in which to pay $1,500,000 that it owes in back taxes. In the meantime the com- pany must pay six per cent. interest on that debt to the state, which is what the state might realize on the ‘sum, and must pay it from the time the debt was created. If, at the end of six years, the company has failed to settle the $1,500,000 debt, its interest will rise automoatically to § per cent. Men who study the trolley situation believe the company will hurry to pay the debt rather than carry the interest load. In the matter of pavebents the trol- ley..systems of the state get a big boost. They were oblized formerly topay for the cost of paving an area between rails and two feet outside each rail. The re- cent legislature cut the distance down to eight inches outside each rail. This action puts a very heavy additional bur- den on towns through which the trol- leys operate in the event of new pave- ments being laid. Bridge costs are to be determined by the state highway department in the tuture and the company may still have good-sized bills to settle but probably will not. The trolley roads are ordered to pay such proportion of the cost of upkeep- ing bridges over which cars operate as the highway departmgpt may determine should be pald by them. The company has a bill of $400,- 000 to pay in this connection. The legislature refused to permit the com- pany to escape payment on any job where a contract had already been en- tered into and the Housatonlc- bridge was the only one effected. Every trolley company still must main- tain its tracks, poles and wires on all bridges within Connecticut. Then it must put up -the amount that the highway commissioner decides should be paid for cost of repairs in excess of those caus- ed by other means of transportation. This Dbill, is likely to remain almost as high as ever, in the opinion of thise who had worked out the measure. It is up to the public utilitles eom- mission to eliminate or otherwise regulate jitney competition. The legislature told the commission to issue permits for $itney . service only on such districts 140 MAIN STREET SILK AND SATIN BLOOMERS, values to $7.95— SILK ENVELOPE CHEMISE, values to $5.95— SILK JERSEY PETTICOATS—SPECIAL. .

The commission is pending much time on this question. President L. S. Storrs and ‘W." J.- Flickinger, assist- ant to the president, are presenting’the company's side in each instance.. They believe there are few places in, Con- necticut where the service is, really a public necessity. ey ‘What the Tight~ to’run busses will develop is yet to be shown: ° The first company in the-state~to- take “advan- tage of this permission is the Dan- bury and Bethel Street Railway Co., which is operated by Col.

All that was allowed was $715,000 to_cover the allowances pro- vided for {n’ the existing act and it had been estimated by the state board of ed- ucation that $953,000 would be required 1o meet the requireménts o fthe amended act. The situation is almost exactly sim- flar to that following the session two years ago when it was discoverea after adjournment that, although a $3 aver- age attendance grant had been adopted by both house and signed by the gov- ernor, a necessary appropriation of $1.- 145,000 had not been provided, which ommission nullified the act until the risingrising of the 1921 legislature at least. The support of schools zrant bill fol- lowed almost recisely the same course in this session as was taken by the average attendance grant bill in 1919. As orig- inally introduced, it ¢alled for increasing and extensions that were estimated by the sponsors, officers of the Connecticut Teachers' association, to cost the state $809,904.72 additional during the next two years, or a grand total of about §1,- 500,000. ‘The exfnsion of this form of state aid to tewns and cities having grand lists over $2,500,000, for which no such provision is made in the ex- isting law, was responsible for $762,- 700.85 of the increase;’ In view of the conditions of the state's finances the committee on education mod- ified the bil, taking out the provision for extending the state aid to additional towns, except a’few having grand lists under $3,500,000, but increasing the per- centage available to towns that were eligible which required an appropriation of $952,000, or an increase of about THEATRICAL INTERESTS START OPPOSITION TO CARNIVALS During the past few days a movement against carnival companies has developed in Norwich, mainly among the theatrical interests. . It is understood that all three of the local theatres are back of - the movement to oust carnival companies from Norwich, as the theatrical men claim carnivals hurt their business. One man connected with a local movie house said Friday that whenever - a - carnival comes to town his theatre drops five or six hundred dollars in receipts a week. The movement to oust carnival com- panies has resulted in a conference of the theatrical interests with Mayor Herbert M. Lerou and a hearing on the matter be- fore the amusement committee of the court of common council has been called for next Tuesday morning, at which it is understood there will be a general airing of opinions pro and con. $238,000. The Chamber of Commerce, through| mpe bill was further referred tothe vote of its directors, is back of the move- appropriations committee, already reported favorably on a bill to make good the average attendance grant passed two years ago and an- other calling for $1,273,000 for the av- erage attendance grant for the com- ing tvo years. The appropriations committee _ therefore reported unfavor- ably on the support of schools /grant amendment, but the house overturned the adverse report and passed the bill, the senrte concurring. This is exactly what bappened two years ago on the average attendance grant but, as was the case then those who forced the bill through failed to realize that the appropriations com- mittee having reported against it, had not vrovided for it in the budget. They did not follow up their victory, and examination of the budget disclosed that the orizinal, appropriation of $715,- 000 intended to cover the existing act had not heen changed. The present support of schools grant, 5 which had ment to prevent carnivals coming to town turough refusal of permits by the amuse- ment committee of the court of common council. The directors of the chamber, af a meeting Friday, instructed the chamber secretary, J. J. O'Rourke, to ap- pear at the hearing next Tuesday morn- ing in onposition to carnival companies. A well known Main street business man who is strongly in favor of allowing carni- vals of the better class to show in Nor- wich said Friday evening that in his opinion carnivals bring busines to the local stores to a certain extent and that; their attractions induce many people in outlying districts to come to Norwich. He also pointed out that carnivals increase | the finances of many local organizations | every year and that they provide open air amusement for the public during the hot weather.

The most unnatural thinc—in the big world is a woman laughing through tpe telephone. to towns with grand lists of $2,500,000 or less. It fixes five such classes of towns to ‘which are made resectively grants of 75 per cent., 60 per cent., 45 Der cent., 30 per cent, and 20 per cent. of teachers’ salaries. The bill which is virtualy nullified through lack of monmey would have al- lowed to the corresponding classes 30 per cent., 70 per cent., 50 per cent., 34 per cent., and 20 per cent. The situation created by the failure of the leglslators to make an appro- priation to cover the increases differs from that of two years ago in that in the present case, there is an ap- propriation that the board of control could build on, if it had the money but, being limited ‘to $300,000 to meet all contingencies of the interim until the mext session of the legislature, it is ex- tre'q>ly doubtful that the board would feel warranted in spending all but $62,- 000 of this on one project. The appropriation of $717,000 includ- ed in the budget for the suport of schools grant was based on the amount allowed two vears ago, $420,000, plus $295,000, representing the amount of Qeficiencies that were subsequently made. OFPOSED TO ONE BIG METAL TRADES UNION Denver, Col, June 10.—Delegates to the convention of the metal trades de- partment of the American Federation of Labor this afternoon by an overwhelming vote defeated a proposal designed to bring about the organization of one big metal trades union in the United States. Representatives of the International Association of Machinists, who introduc- ed the resolution. were vigorously scored as advocating and attempting to revive the “one biz union” idea in this coun- try. The debate was long and_bitter. representatives of the Pattern Makers' League of North America, the Interna- tional Brotherhood of Boflermakers and International Brotherhood of Electrical nl-orkerl vigorously opposing the propos- A roll call showed that the resolution was defeated by a vote of 3,210 to 171.

The resolution will now be sent to the con- vention of the American Federation of Labor, which meets next week, for the approval of that grsanization.

DISCUSSED POLITICS WITH FORMER PRESIDENT WILSON Washington, Juae 10. — Chairman George White, of the democratic na- tional committee, called wupon former President Wilson at the latter's residence today and discussed for an hour various political matters and_the condition of public affairs. Mr. White refused to state specifically the matters which were taken up. “I can say this much, however” he said, “Mr. Wilson retains his keen Inter- est in all affairs affecting the welfare of his party and. his country and he still has the militant spirit which character- ized him as a party leader and a chiet executive. Replying to questions as to Mr. Wil- son’s physical condition, the chairman said that that was obviously a matter upon which he could not make a public statement. With regard_to the general political situation, Mr. White declared there had been a great revival of spirit among the democrats and a general disposition ta get together. “The failure of the republican admin- istration to keep its election promises to date has put new heart and hope in the party everywhere,” he said.
