NATURALIZATION FEES TO
 BE PAID THE STATE.
Opinion of Attorney General Holconb
 on That and Salaries of Clerks.

Attorney General M. H. Holcomb gave an opinion Thursday to Comp troller Bradstreet in reference to the apportionment of the salaries of the clerks and assistants of the superior court in New London and New Haven counties. The attorney general, after quoting the statutes, says:
 ''lh- obvious and I think the only inference is-and I so advise you that the salary of the clerk in each of said counties is to be what remains of the appropriation for such county after the salaries named for the assist ant clerks are deducted, that is, in New Haven county MT. Gallagher, clerk, will receive $4,500 and in New London county MT. Parsons, clerk, will receive $3,500."
 The attorney general also gave an opinion to the comptroller on the question whether the clerks of the su- perior court were entitled to the fees for the naturalization of aliens. The attorney general says they are not. He says:
 The opinion given December 5, 1906, by my predecessor. Hon. William A. King, was to the effect that the natu- rafzation fees belong to the state by reason of the statute placing the clerks on salary basis.
 Chapter 117 of the public acts of 1906. to which you refer, provides that the superior court in the several counties of the state, excepting Hartford and New Haven counties, upon application, shall admit aliens to become citizens of the United States, and section 4, which you quote, authorizes the clerks of such courts to retain certain por- tfons of the fees.
 It is claimed that this changes the conditions upon which MT. Kings opinion was predicated, it would ap- pear that the conditions were re-es- abolished by the general assembly in chapter 243. which was approved Au- gust A, 1909, and states the salaries which the clerks and assistants in the several counties shall receive, and which, as per quotation therefrom in your letter, expressly provides that these salaries shall be in full for all services required by law of clerks and all fees payable by statute to said clerks shall belong to the state, and shall be collected by them for it's use.
 In accordance with such ruling made by Mir. King, I think that you should require these naturalization fees to be paid to the state unless and until the courts shall decide otherwise.

The Arnold" Fine Knit
 Night Gowns

These garments are designed fer children too young to wear night drawers. They are made sufficiently long to allow the bottom of the gar nents to be drawn together by means of a shirring string, and still give room In plenty.
 They afford much needed warmth and protection, for no amount of "kiek- ing" can displaee them. They are made of the Arnold" fabric, which is knit so it is easily psnstrabls, allow ing the calculations of the skin to pass off, and the cloth being treated by the Arnold" process in manufacture i, made very absorbent, so that ths precipitation is taken up. which is con dueive to health as we'll as eomfort- health, because sanitary conditions, are created, and comfort because the talk ing up of the precipitation allows the million of little pores in the body te Breathe" doing away with the cause of that Irritation" brought about by the pores becoming "oloassd." An ideal garment for night wear.

Franklin square to an extent that 1t has never been used before.
 For the above reasons and many others your location has become an objectionable one for the business in which you are engaged.
 It is to your credit that the county commissioners have received no com plaints as to the manner in which you conduct your business, and the police court records do not disclose you to be viplator of the liquor laws.
 The limitation law as passed by the last general assembly makes your liq- uor license a very valuable asset and it is not our desire or purpose to un- fairly wipe out that asset in an arbi- trary manner, but we feel in duty bound to recognize the changed condi- tions as above set forth.
 The commissioners have therefore unanimously decided that they will is- sue to you a renewal of your license under the application which you now have pending, but hereby give you mo- tice to seek a new and less objection able location by transfer of your H. 'cense before the first Monday of No vember. 1910. for after that date. no license or renewal of a license will be granted in the location where you are now doing business.
 Yours truly,

 County.
 The first four of the saloonkeepers have places in Main street just east of Franklin and on the square, while the last two have places in the square on Franklin street The petition em- braeed four other saloons, but these the commissioners felt were off the square and should receive licenses.
