Taxation William T. Hincks has rais- ed in a timely way the question of the authority of the board to under take and usurp functions placed in other boards.
 The Board of Apportionment and Taxation has. almost since it's crea- ton been reaching out for power that did not belong to it, and that It ought not to have.
 The Board stands in place of the old town meeting,'' was the theory of power long advanced by it's members who were most zeafous in seeking Ln Increase of prerogative.
 Bridgeport has permitted some peculiar things to be done in the way of granting power to practically ir- responsible bodies, as in the creation of the Park Board, which elects it's own members and is to all intents and purposes a self perpetuating body, absolutely beyond the reach Of he stockholders of the city. the cleo sors.

Yale Earnings
 Equal Harvard
First Year Out Men Get About SIS a Week at Each
 University
RAPID ADVANCE IS SHOWN
Princeton's Opening Figures of $6 a Week Far Surpassed By Sister
 Colleges.

A comparison of the average wages of a Harvard graduate with that of Yale shows that the Yale man fares about the same as, his brother from Boston. The average wage of the Harvard man his first year out of col lege is SIS per week, and according to the only statistics yet collected at Yale by Edwin Rogers Elm of the class of 1906, the average sa ary of a man the first year out of Yale is $74O. a trifle under S15 per week.
 The average yearly wage of Yale man two years out of college, as compiled by MT. Embree, is Ss6s; the s1,522; the fifth year $1,ss5.
 MT. Embree compiled the figures from the basis of income returns re- ceived from 1S4 members of his class. not exceptional class. Allowances and inherited wealth were not taken into consideration in the statistical re- port, and as there were 2S0 in the class this is considered a pretty repre- sentative return, one that may be taken as a criterion for the university for previous and subsequent classes.
 This shows that while the college man at Yale, as at Harvard, starts It wage by no means remarkable, his strides and in five years time he has far outdistanced the non-college man. who started with him.
 From tables made up from the sal aries paid in certain lines of employ ment, the brokerage business, to which many Harvard men are in clined, pays but $3 to $6 a week to start. In manufacturing $7 to SIP IS paid, whi'e engineering brings from $1O to $15.
 RecenC statistics from Princeton show that it's graduates start at an average salary of $6 per week.
