The state- ‘ment says: “Growers in the neighborhood of Hart- ford expect to harvest 70,000 to 75,000 basketsFof the late canning peaches while the crop which will contribute to the New. Haven market is estimated at fully 150,_ 000 baskets if it reaches the level of other peach years. Replies from several small ordsardsists indicate heavy crops which will be marketed locally or to a direct trade along roadsides. “The peaches on the market at pres- ent are mostly the Waddell and Carmen varieties. Orchardists say that they ex- pect to market Blberta’s about the 25th of the month for Hartford market while the Belle of Georgia peaches are report- d as progressing slowly and will not be ready before August 18. Grewers along the lower counties expect to market peaches from three days to a week ear- lier than from Hartford county orchards. “Tiae canning peach crop is not ready for market but the vanguard of the better peaches are coming marketward from the orchards that escaped the spring frosts and peach shortcake on the hotel and restaurant menus signify a limiited time when the housewife will be called to perform home canning dutles. “The weather has seemingly favored Connecticut people in that some of our largest orchards escaped the killing frosts. Last year the peach crop was exceedingly light in the state but a heavy New York state crop found a ready mar- ket. This year recent report from New York state say that hail and storm dam- aze has reduced the crop. The local |erop which ordinarily weuld find a flood- {ed market when nearby states inave an abundance of fruit wifl be demanded in in_places nearby where the crop was a failure. “Investigations of recent ripening prog- gress by the marketing bureau agents of the states board of agriculture during the last few days reveals the fact that consumers should get the peach canning apparatus ready about August 25. A period of hot and dry weatirer will hasten the crop towards maturity, while wet weather will retard ripening and 0b- ably promote decay. The local mArket agen{ advisas consumers to keep in- formed on the arrival of peaches from nom on and thereby avoid being disap- pointed by a short season of harvest.” TWENTY COLCHESTER CHILDREN WITHOUT SCHOOL FACILITIES The power of the state to compel a town to provide sabool facilities for all the children in the town under chapter 390 of the statutes of 1921 may be in- voked in the case of the town of Col- chester, where 20 children are without any such provision. Tse children had been attending in a vacant store but since June the store has been sold and will not be available this fall. A committee from the state board eon- sisting of Charles L. Ames, Principal Charles Torry of the Putnam school and George Strugis, the board's prosecuting agent, visited Colchester and taiked tae matter over with the selectmen of the town. Mr. Ames said Wednesday that the committee ‘did not find that the select- men had refused to provide a school for the district and said, no action bad been taken by the board of education or would be taken mntil the submission of a plan by the selectmen. The ad- visability of transporting the children to another district in the town was dis- cussed, but as the distance is six miles over a bad road whigh is almost impass- able in the winter season, the plan was abandoned. A portable schaol was also suggested and may be considered by the Colchester officials.

The money was raised to the alleged liquor rupmers, Detective Han- nibal L. Hamlin is sald to hav flm-ma Attorney Telley E. Babeock, acting pros- ecuting attorney when hé applied for the warrant for Mokas' arrest according to the Springfleld paper. Hamlin Is said to have stated he got the liquor running story from and that he tizen went to the office of At- torney Gordon Ireland and plaged the information before the Cltizens Commit- tee. ‘The liquor running story is true. Ham. lin is said to have told the Springfleld committee but it will take a lot of money to trap them. In regard to the alleged liquor trap the Springfield Union says: “The plan arranged was to have Mo- kas proceed to Springfield and buy 15 cases of whiskey, the purchase of which had been arranged for by Hamlin and Mokas from a Springfield man. The joad was then to be taken in the automobile to a point just outside the vi'lage of Moosup, where a purchaser of the load would be waiting to transfer the liquor to his own m: Then the Mopsup sheriff would swoop down on the party and arrest them. Sheriff Tillinghast, with Detective William Jackson of the state attorney" office, Detective Hamlin were safely planted at the rendezvous, according to the story told by Hamlin and the arrival of Mokas and tihe whiskey was confident- ly epected at the arranged hour in the early evening. “But Mokas failed to arrive, and the posse shivered in the ambush convinced that tire trouble or some other mishap of travel had delayed the expedition. It was not until the arrival of the cold gray dawn that Hamlin began to be sus- picious of Mokas. He came back ti Springfield and met his erstwhile agent who told him a story of being held up with the load of whiskey near Palmer. “Hamlin demanded the return of the $400 ‘se said, and when Mokas put him off with a lame escuse he went back to Norwich and began proceedings for the arrest of Mokas. Atty. Babcock declared Wednesday night in his prosecution of the Mokas case he has no intention of going into the Springfield end of tie affair, being only interested in seeking the convic- tion of .the defendant for the larceny of money in Norwich. Until the newspa- per storles reached him the attorney said he knew nothing about the alleged attempt ta_implicate members of e Springfield Police Department, and that he has no desire to involve any Spring- fleld official in the case, HIGHWAY CONTRACTS WILL GIVE WORK TO UNEPLOYED The Connecticut state highway depart- ment will let as many of its coatracts for road building as possible this fall, following a suggestion from Secretary of Commerce Hoover to Governor Lake, witich has been forwarded to Highway Commissioner Bennett. Mr. Bennett said that anything that helped the contract- ors helped the highway department, and if the contractors could do work on some jobs during the winter, it would mean that the work would be finished just that much earlier in the following season. The letter from Secretary Hoover fol- lows: Mr. Geary was able to recall the cir- cumstances regarding some of the pay- ments and what they were for, while cor- cerning others he said Re Quu DOt recc léct. The payment of $1,000 to Arthur Keete was for money advanced for un- loading a lumber cargo from a vessel, When the vessel artived the comyany had no money Wwith which to pay tire charges and the money was advarced by Mr. Keefe while Mr. Geary was out of town and the next moming the lat- ter reimbursed the former and charged it to the Bentley estate. The paymeni of $1,583.01 to Judge Noyes was in @-ttlement of a suit against the estate. The $2,000 for the Boston Lomber Co. was to take up two notes whicy Mr. Geary had endorsed. He said that"when the notes camé due, the company had 1o money and he called up the bank ani had it pay the motes and gharge it to his account, Mr. Geary said that waile he did not see the charges ¢ntered to his agcount in the books of the Benticy Co., he knew that the entries were made. He explained that the reason he knew that later Mr. Oliver, bookkeeper for tae company, sent him a statement of his ac- count which was incorrect and that he went to see him about it and at that time he saw the items entered on his account. Mr. Geary said that he had in his Dos- session_the correct and incorrect state- My dear Governor: In making a systematic study as to what we can do ment and to thus assist in tiding over the very severe situation that we are now in, this department has had its at- tention called to the bearing of the per- iod at which contracts are currently let for the bullding of roads upon this prob_ In order that thers should be no question as to the correction of the con- clusions that had been yeached I sum- moned a committee combrising represen- atives of the great engineering societies who have prepared for me the enclosed opinten.

Thé figures of such sign shail be at least five inches high and four inches wide.” The law is especially important in view of the fact that beginning Sep_ tember 1, a state tax of one cent a gal- lon is to be levied on al gasolene sold in the state. This tax is to be collected by the motor vehicles department de- Tectly from the wholésale dealers, of ‘whom there are about fifteen in Connect- fcut. With the new law in effect it will be impossible for an unscrupulous gaso- lene distributor to charge the current rate which will include the tax, and then ask the motorist for ten or fifteen cents extra to pay the tax you know.
