Nothing was found on the second floor, but when the £ooom on the main floor was opened up the whiskey that it is understood the officers were looking for was found.

One seller of this necessity for automo- bilists who recently Installed a 1.000 gallon tank so that he could break the high price, which ils in New Lon- don /has announced & cut of two cents a gallon at retail, effective Wednesday. For the past week he has been sell- ing gasoline at one cent ~nder the other retailers who asked him to come up a cent and meet ther price. Instead of doing that he told them that he was go- ing down another cent, and instead of having to pay 31 cents the fluid may be bought there now at 29 cents. This dealer said that he was warned when he installed his big tank that if he undertook to cut the retail price he would not be able to buy gas from any of the big oil companies. He has now decided to try conclu- sions with the four oil companies and will probably meet with a real fight. The wholesalers will probably meet his figures it is believed and if so the pub- lic will have him to thank instead of the four big ofl companies. A meeting of the New London Auto- mobile Dealers association was held on Wednesday noon and City anager Barl low and Councllor Clarke attended. The automobile -dealers association proposes to back up the dealer In his eort to get a lower priced gas for the public of New London and he has the moral support of the clty manager and some members of the city council. The latter, it is un- derstood, proposes to take some definits action to_assist in breaking the price in New London which is and- always has been from two to three cents high- er than in-some: other Conecticut cities Gasoline prices in Norwick are now at 30 and 31 cents.

The e | cruel treatment started there when he would pull her off the lounge by ber hasr every night and jump on her. ‘hey lived there six weeks and lived for three months at her father's in Franklin. Here her husband would siap her in the face and once held her by her wrists in her room to keep her from going down stairs. Later they lived with her sister in Franklin where she worked Sar her cwn and her husband’s board and he worked in the mill where he got §8 a week. Here he scratched and kicked her and when they later moved to Fitchville he tore the clothes off her back a dozen or fifteen times. The trouble started, Mrs. Ander- son said, over foollsh Little Nguments. Hes wanted his own way and said he had always had it. Later they lived in the Wheeler place in Bozrah. She look iu washing and her husband worked in the mill. He continued hsl treatment of her in pull- ing her hair, slapping her face and tear- ing her clothes. Then 'they moved to the Berry block In Franklin street, this city. At one. time while living there she worked in the Marlin Rockwell shop and earned $30 a week, while he was at the Strawboard plant where he earned $15. He continued his cruel treatment in the same line as before, she said, and she testified to working on the Anderson farm in Mohegan park during the sum- mer, where she split wopd, worked in the ‘hayfleld and carned vegetables for the Anderson family and herself. This was at a time when her husband had no work. .

While no official information has been received at the office of the state treasurer that the money is forthcoming there is an zir of expectancy that the state is soon to be epriched to the extent of more than three-quarters of a million and even thar will be most welcome. There is due to the state of Connectl- cut from the Connecticut Co., in back tax- es approximately $1,820,000, and if pay- ment is made as suggested it will reduce the indebtedness of the Connecticut Co. to about an even million. The suggestion that the Connecticut Co. was about ready to make another considerable payment to the state was made at the annual banquet of the Comnecticut chamber of commerce at the Hotel Bond last Thursday evening when J. Moses Ivés of Danbury, receiver for the Bridgeport-Danbury Street Rafl- way company and familiar with affairs of street railways in the state. ~President Lucius §. Storrs of the Connecticut Co. could not be reached by telephone for verification, but it is understood Mr, Storrs, after the announcement by Mr. Ives, intimated the information was cor- rect. The indebtedness of the Connecticut C to the state was incurred during the la: four years when expenses of operation were at the peak, and the company was able to pay the taxes only in part. The considerations of the public utilities com- mission in permitting the company to increase fares in successive stages from five to ten cents and of the traveling pub- lic to aid the company to get back on its feet by continued if not increased pat- ronage, together with a decrease in tl cost of operation, is having its effect and the company is beginning to find it- self in a position to meet some of its old obligatiogs. It is expected the payment from the company will be received by the state treasurer in July, following the termina- tion of the fiscal year. In the 1921 session of the general assembly, the leg- islature came to the aid of street rail- way companies in the matter of tax ob- ligations by deferring payment of taxes due the state prior to Aug. 1, 1921. Tt was provided that on or before July 15, 1923, and annually thereafter, each company DPay to the treasurer of the state on ac- count of taxes, the payment of which was deferred, in addition to the amount to be assessed on the income of each company annually after the year 1921, one-half of its total met Income ending on Der. 31 mext precefingy Any such. company which within six years subsequent to July 15, 1922, liquidates its -entire obligations o the state for taxes past due, shall be charged interest at the rate of 4 1-2 per cent. a vear, otherwise interest rate of 8 per cent, will be charged. No such company may pay dividends upon its capital stock until each annual tax to be assessed upon the return of such com- pany as of Dec. 31, 1921, shall have been paid to the state. he | the HOME AND FARM MORTGAGES $195,307,870 IN THIS STATE The department of commerce at ‘Washington announces that the total mortgage debt on owned homes and farms in the state of Connecticut ac- cording to the census of 1920, was $195,307,870 and the total value of the mortgaged homes and farms was $463,131,989, the mortgage debt thus representing 41.7 per cent. of the to- tal value. Rented homes, tenant farms and farms that are partly owned and partly rented, it should be noted, are not included in this report. ‘The total number of homes in the state other than farm homes was 2§9.- 568 of which 99,368 or 34.3 per cent. were owned by the occupants; and of these owned homes 63,836 or €4.2 per cent. were mortgaged. Information re- garding the value of the home and the amount of mortgage debt was secured from 42,686 or 66.7 per cent. of these mortgaged homes. The average mort- gage debt of the homes for which mortgage reports were secured was $2,780 and the average value was $4, '460; and on the basis of these aver- ages the total mortgage debt on the mortgaged homes not on farms is es- timated as $177,446,921 and the total value of such homes as $412,350,795.

It is really but the sprinz target practice of the regulars at Forts Wright, Terry and Michie, The coast artillery district comman der, General Mark L. Hersey, was well pleased with the business like manner in which the practice with the big guns was conducted. 'Hit after hit was rej istered on the target which was a mere speck on the horizon at the longest ranges. One of the interesting features was control of the movement of the tug towing the targets by means of radio telephone. The shooting was excellent. Their garrison is now recruiting to fill 250 vacancies. which remain. Men who enlist now will go Intg training for the fall target practice. A large percentage of the troops are citzens of Connecticut and in every city and big town, soldiers, are enlisting their friends to strengthen company baseball and track teams.
