son Hawley-A sl75,OOO Estate.
HARTFORD, July 7.-For the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1892, the total sum col
lected from internal revenue in the dis |
trio of Connecticut, John I. Hutchinson |
collector, was $3.50, 45S.O1, and the total |
sum collected and accounted for during
the three years since Collector Hutchinson
took charge of the district amounts to 3d.
ZIP, 65S.34. The report shows net de-
crease in receipts for 1892 of $2S, 478.37,
which is largely due to the decreased pro-
duction of spirits from grain, the largest
distillery In the state, at New Haven,
having suspended operations most Of the
year.
A considerable decrease is shown in pro-
duction of oleomorgarine, and the gain
shown is from beer, cigars and special
taxes. The total decrease in the produc-
ton of oleomargarine is nearly 100000
pounds, as compared with the year 1891.
In the matter of expectation the increase
for 1892 is considerable, being nearly ten
times what it was in 1890.
