day Is Return Day---Faymcnt Is
 Unsatisfactory.

To-day IS the day set by law for the return by treasurers of towns to the treasurer of the state of the mili- tary communication tax required by the military system of the state. In the opinion of some of the experts the payment of the tax is unsatisfactory,
 In 1898 the amount paid in to the state treasury was sl54044 In the year 1906 the amount paid in was s156, 6,9262O. Tn 1907 the amount paid in was $16l 646T6 In the nine years be- tween 1898 and 1907 the increase in pop ulation is estimated as about 25 per cent and the increase in the military communication tax should be about s3s, - GOO or s4O,000 on the contrary, the ln- crease Is only SI62216.
 The number liable to communication tax was on January 1, 1908, ss,956 The number liable to military duty in case of war was 116,S6S, and the number ex- empt from military tax was 34.457
 The military communication tax is S2 head for those subject to 1t. The full amount would be Sl79,912, and of this the towns are allowed a leeway for collection.

Serious proposal Made in Board Of Alderman Over Foley's Action On Building
 Lines. CHARTER POWER EXCEEDED
 ------------------- Aldermen Feel He Has Assumed Veto Power Clearly Not His Right-Actions to Be
 Probed.

The first serious suggestion of the impeachment of city official that has been made in this city, in a great many years at least, was that ad- vanced last night at the session of the board of aldermen, when J. Edmund Miller suggested such action against Director of Public Works Francis w. Foley. The suggestion was followed by declaration on his part that ha for one would be ready to carry the action out, and this statement was followed by spirited statements of the same kind by Aldermen Jacobs and German, which indicate that there Is feeling in the board which may mean some unusual happening unless the difficulty which provoked 1t Is set- tied soon. The trouble has arisen over the action of the director in fail- ing to carry out certain orders of the board of aldermen for building lines and by sending some of them back to the board and asking for changes in them, assuming what is regarded by the board as a veto power which the city charter does not give him
 The tornado was let loose by Alder- man Berman, who had in a petition asking that building line of two feet | be established on the west side of Hazel street. between Newhall and Ivy streets. At the last meeting of the board Alderman Berman succeeded in getting the board to pass, by unani- nous consent. an order for the same building line in front of No. 166 Hazel street The unanimous consent was granted in order that the line might be established at once and building operations permitted as desired.
 Last week Director Foley held hearing in his office on certain orders for building lines, at which time he decided that certain ones should not be established. All had been ordered by the board of aldermen Alderman Berman was present as attorney in the Hazel street case, and he stated last night that the director had refused to put that one through because he said he could not establish in front of one piece of property, but 1t must extend through the entire block affected In order to allow building that was being held up to be carried through, Alder man Berman last night introduced the new petition aimed to obviate this obs jection At the same time he stated the cause of the action, and this at once set the board agog. It was cons sidered that the director was setting ! himself hp as power above the board with the authority to veto It's actions, 1 and this was declared to be a direct contravention of his powers under the charter When Alderman German had ceased his explanation Alderman Loos laconically asked, "I'd like to know since when did the director of public works run the city of New Ha- ven7 2" to which Berman answered in an audible aside, Since he became director, I guess"
 | Alderman Jacobs took the matter up here and clearly expounded the powers of the director under the char- ter, emphasizing the sentence He shall cause all orders of the court of common council to be executed" He laid especial stress on the mandatory

The candidacy of these two men will bring on a three-cornered flgat which will divide into hostile camps the re- publicans who were SO close together in the last state campaign
 It is generally believed that the New Haven representatives and re- publican senators will favor the re- election of Senator Brandegee, tdus supporting Governor-elect George l.. Lilley of Waterbury. Mir biley, 1t has been stated Is still at Norfolk, where he is entertaining party of friends, but nevertheless the an- nouncement of the coming contest brought him Immediately from the country place and he was very active in New Haven county yesterday after noon.
 The support of Senator Brandegee by Governor-elect Lilley comes as a result of series of events reaching back to last spring It is known that prior to the trip of tho Connecticut delegation to Chicago last June there tr-n t1 degee owing to his failure to come out for Judge Taft. In the state contest it was then believed that Lieutenant Governor Lake had a good chance for the nomination for governor. since he felt almost certain of the Windham and Holland county delegates to the convention, and was reasonably sure of dividing New London county. Tn all of these counties he had many friends. When the delegation went to Chicago it was stated by some of the party who presumed to he close to tne would he strengthened out. and the-s were many in the party who believed that the councils would prevail with the result that Mir. Lilley should go back to congress again and leave the governorsnip open to Mir Woodruff and Mir. Lake. Some of the organlza- ton leaders would not admit this as they believed that the governorshir was already in Mir Lilley's favor.
