TAX EXEMPTION FOR NATIONAL BANKS Natiopal banks in Connecticut are not entitled to any exemmtion for taxes Paid on real estate, acco: to _an opinion handed down by Attorney Gen- cral Frank E. Healy. His interpreta- tion of the law was given on request ot Tax Commissioner Willlam H. Blodgett who sought a ruling with respect to the assessment of the tax on deposits in savings departments of national fbanl Under Chapter 233 of the Public Acts of 1921, ‘hational banks are entitled to the same exemption as savings banks except that the exemption of the amount invested In tax exempt secu: ties shall be only such proportion there- of as the deposits in the bank. The act also provides, however, that the amount of taxes paid on real estats shall not be cxempted under the pro- vision of this act if the same is claim- ed as an exemption under section 1201 of the statutes. The situation was cavsed by ons bank, the name of ‘hich- is not given in rendering its report. It claimed de- ductions of $48,777.15, but-also claim- ed a further deduction of $12,777.15. The claim was made by the bank that it the amount of tax paid on real es- tate is in excess of the amount which the bank would be required to pay un der one of these statutes, then the ex- 1 cess could.be deducted under the pro- visions of the other statute mentioned, The tax commissioner held, however, that if the claim were allowed and a deduction permitted by authority of both_statutes, the bank- would pay uo tax whatever, to the state under cither statute, and there still would be a de- Quctible balance. 4 The attorney general says: “Any interpretation that this bank s entitled to this double exemption would in effect be a repeal of part chapter 233. 1 can find no such inten- tion of-repeal under existing law. In No the language of Chapters 209 and 233 of 1921, “A rule of constriction application that our courts have adopt- ed and akrays followed in consteuinz statutes, make it my duty to gite effect of general consistently read together. “As the gemeral assembly is sumed to kmow the effect of its lation, it is not reasonable to presume that within the brief period of eleven days it enacted legislation that would be_conificting In its terms, “The reason for the - emactment of this particular provision of Chapter 240 of the session of 1921 was to pre- vent these great commercial banking institations which are run for a profit from having an unfair advantage by way of taxation over savings banks by the erection of bulldings that are large- ly devoted to commercial purposes ad are a source of revenue to said bank. “I cannot conceive how the intention of the legislature could be any better expressed than in the language used in this statute, It is an absolute prohibi- tion against allowing any national bank to deduot the amount of taxes paid on its real estate i the same has been claimed. as an exemption under the other statute. “Ivbeg to advise you that this bank is not entitled to any exemption for taxes paid by it on ils real estate un- der the provisions of Chapter 233 of the session laws of 1921 FOR BETTEE OBSERVANCE "OF PROBITITION AT YALE New Haven, Dec. 21.—Two under- graduate committces, one made up of academic students and the other Tepre- senting the Sheffield _Seientific school, nave been ghosen at Yale university to work toward co-operation in the student body to bring about a greater respect for e prohibition laws. The appointment .of the committees, it was said today, was the result of a meeting held Tuesday at the request of s tesident James R. Angell of Yale. Fi ty students, Tepresenting the various schools of the university, attended the meeting and heatrd.a discuscsion of the subject by President Angell. The de- velopment of student opinion aganst the use of intoxicating drinks was said te be_the object of the meeting, It was understood the two student committees will have authority to act in specific cases. Chief of Police Philip T. Smith, in a statement to the Yale Daily News has remarked upon the decrease in student arrests. He sdid that arrests of students 20 years ago averaged about 200 a year, while now it is rarely that a student is arrested. Chief Smith said that his only sugggestions were that fewer false false alarms of fire be turned in around the university area and that studemts cease carrying away traffic regulation signe from the streets. | THE NOleCH fact T am umable to see any conflict in: to both of these statutes if they can bej FOUR MILLIONS AWARDED IN COMPENSATION CASES A total of $4,578,744.87 was disburs- ed by insurance companies and industrial concerns, or self-insurers, in the past two years ended Nov. 1 last in carrying out awards made by the five compensation commissioners of the state under the workmen's compensation ag, or voluntary agreements under the act which were ap- proved by the commissioners, according to a joint report covering that period which the board of compensation commissioners have submitted to Governor Lake. The total represents an incregse of $223,064.07 over the preceding two-year perlod. Although the period covered by the re- |port was marked by an industrial Gepres- {sion, the volume of cases tried by the commissioners were considerably increas- ed. A large part of the total of $1,845,951. 56 went for statutory aid, that is. surg- ical, medical and hospital services to - pured workmen. The total disbursements for the {three two-year periods were: {1916-1918 ... $3,082,719.05 1918-1920 . 4,353,680.80 1920-1922 .o $4,578,744.37 he total disbursements by the insur- ance companies for the past three periods including statutory aid, were as follows: Compensation Statutory Aid | -.$1,169,513.23 § $20,841.51 | 1918-20 .... 1,956,99. 1,105,221.13 1920-22 ... 2,100,080.89 1.360,366.36 The total disbursements by the seli- surer for the past three periods, includ- ing statutory aid, were as follows: Compensation ~Statutory Aid ..$556,821.37 2,542.94 1918-1920 ... T35,579.44 1920-1922 . 099,439.42 455,858.20 The statistics are based on information supplied by the thirty-eight insurance companies licensed to do business in the state, some of which are merely subsidi- aries or hranches of other companics, and from industrial concerns which are self- insurer. - The insurance companies ren?ned that approximately 314,913 workmen in the istate are covered by insurance policies, while the self-insurers are insurers esti- mated that 103,906 persons are insured by them, making a total number of em- ployes covered in the state 418,319, “These figures do not include employes of the railroads of the state, which un- doubtedly are the largest employes of la- bor in the state,” the report says. “These are ncither séif-insurers nor insured, while they report to us a large number of injuries, most of these presumably do not come under our jurisdiction, as they are principally engaged in interstate com- merce.” < v, A decrease. of 17,430 in the number of accidents occurred from ..the preceding period, the total for the 1920-1922 period being 53,207. From an accident volume standpoint, the 1918-1920 period was an fmprovement over the preceding period, the decrease reported being 7,497, There was a falling off in_ the number of voluntary agreements, the total for the period being 16,667, compared with 21,- 073 for the preceding period, or a de- crease of 4,406. There was an increase n the number of formal hearings, which in substance means claims that are disputed and tried, of 444 over the preceding period. The | total was 2,617, compared with 2,173 for |ithe preceding period. i { The number of formai finds and awards was 1,995, compared with a total of 1,805 for the 1918-1920 period, or an increase of $90. Unlike the previous reports to the board, this report does mot contain any Ffecommendations in detail as to amena- jments to the language of the workmen's compensation act, in addition to those which have hitherto Seen made. |EXHAUST GASSES DANGEROUS IN CLOSED GARAGES . “Garages as Death Traps” is the sub- ject of a warning contained in the mor- bidity yeport of the state department of health this week in which attention is called to the fact that several fa- talities have been reported in different places in the state caused by exhaust Bases from automobiles. “All garage owners, managers, work- ers and particularly the ~car owner, A A SN Protect Your Horse SHOES AND CALKS T.
