Sentiment Found in Favor of the
 Movement Among Many Persons.

The following statement Is issued by the secretary Of the state fair commit- tee:
 The incorporators of the Connecticut State Fair find 1t necessary to acquaint the public with the facts in reference tc the history of the movement for state fair. Owing to so many conflict- ing reports of so called state fair com mittees, they are desirous of giving these facts:
 The movement was launched during the midwinter meeting of the State Board of Agriculture, held during De- cem'ber, nineteen hundred and three, at Middletown. As result of a discus sion at that time at the Chaffee hotel, an appointed committee, consisting of the late Secretary T. S. Gold, chair man, l.. 0. Taylor, Secretary l.. K. Seymour was the beginning of organ ized effort toward reviving the Connec- ticut state fair. The experience of the committee in carrying on the prelim- mary work gave evidence of a strong fair sentiment throughout the state.
 In March. nineteen hundred and six, the committee suffered an irreparable loss in the death of MT. Gold. L. K. Seymour was made chairman and T. L. Thomas was added to the committee.

FIRST INCREASE TO-DAY.
Policemen to Get Benefit of $50
 Raise.

Clerk Arthur V. Phillips of the police department has his troubles this week making out the payroll, according to the new system, which has just be- come operative. It is necessitated by the increase of $50 q year which Is re- ceived by about 1s0 members of the department. and which has gone into effect for the first time this week.
 The clerk has been obliged to insti- ute a new system of bookkeeping and 1t Is so complicated that the mystery will not be unraveled until the cops get ready to cut their coupons at the end of the year.
 For the present the clerk is figuring on an increase of 12 cents a day for the policemen. and this they will re. ceive in their first weeks wages under the new rule to-day.
