AUTOMOBILES MUST

Assessors Want Owners to Turn 1T
 Their Lists.

The assessors are now at work go- ing over the registered list of automo- bile owners in Norwich, according to the September list from the secretary of states office All automobile own CTS will be called upon to put in a list for their machines.
 So far only about fifty have been received. The assessors find that those auto owners who have lists to put in for other property also put in their machines, but those who have only machines do not put in any lists. There are 296 auto owners in Norwich in the last registered list. The asses sors think the owners will be better satisfied if they put in their own lists rather than waiting for the Assessors to do it.

FOUR NEW SENATORS
TAKE SEATS MONDAY
Question of Arranging Terms
for New Mexico and Arr

Following the establishment Of a new
precedent yesterday by the election of
four new United States senators by two
new states on the same day, another
precedent will be established in the Sen
ate Monday when the four new members
will be sworn in. Never before in the
recollection of those familiar with the
history of the upper house of Congress
have four new senators from two new
states been sworn in on the same day.
Their coming. however, sets difficult
task for the Senate. One OF the quartet
will be given a six-year term two of
them four-year terms and one a two-year
term. But who will get which is the
question. It was the talk around the SEN
ate today that lots would be drawn by
the four baby senator's" That custom
has been followed in the case of two
new senators from one new state.
The incoming members are A. B. Fall
and T. B. Catron, both republicans, from
New Mexico. and Mark Smith and Henry
F. Ashhurst, both democrats, of Arizona.
Their coming will increase the present
membership Of the Senate to 95-51 repub-
