 The document in pr. Tracys pos session is certified by Hon. Albert official seal, and dated June 1s. 1914.
 The copy made for the town of Nor wich was doubtless made at the same date as the one duplicated at Hart ford. Aug. 20. 1863, and signed by Sec retary Allyn.

The falling of in the building industry
Of the National Capital. which for some
time past has caused no little comment
in business circles, Is strikingly shown
by figures contained ia Dun's Review.
Washington's building figures for Janu-
airy, 1914, are reported at $46l, $50. as
against S707,252, for the same month a
year ago. This decrease is considered
particularly significant for the reason
that building permits issued during the
last month in sixty-five cities throughout
the country show the remarkable gain Of
81 per cent over those issued in the
same cities during January, 1918.
In these cities, the total expenditure in
building for January. 1884, is given as at
So. 724.237, while in January, 1913, only
S., 5i2. 1875 was expended. In New York
a falling off similar to that in Washing
ton is reported.

| OF INTEREST TO THEATREGOERS

Of the larger theatres in this city so
that at the close of the regular per-
Torrance the theatre auditorium may
be transformed into a dance hall within
Ave minutes. This speedy transforma-
ton has been made possible by the in
vention Of Edwin G. Kaufman. a senior
member OF the architect firm OF Kauf-
man, killlan 4 White. The invention
was patented last week. and Mr.. Kauf-
man has already arranged with three
managers to install it in their theatres.
"In order to operate his mechanism
the present seats are to be torn out
and a level floor surface suitable for
dancing put down in their place. Upon
this Is superimposed a movable floor.
this floor being composed OF number
OF vertical swinging sections to which
the seats are attached. Mr.. Kaufman
provides a suitable mechanism for
lowering and raising the seat carrying
sections so as to convert the auditorium
into a dance hall or theatre at will.
The seats are lifted by means OF
cables which may be attached to the
sections and which are worked by
hosting engines placed in the basement
OF the building. When the movable
floor sections reach a vertical position
they are caught and held in place so
that they present the appearance OF a
wall"

FOMED THE TICKET AGENT.

TINE agents in the ticket booths in
the subway always try To dispose
OF any copper cents they take In
TO the first person who looks az II he
would accept them without a protest.
An agent at the Fulton street station
who tried 10 do this was foiled In an
unexpected manner the other evening.
The rush hour crowd was gradually
thinning out when man descended the
stairs north of the ticket booth. Be
cause OF the approach OF a northbound
train he made rapid strides to the ticket
booth. showed n quarter through the
opening In the window and asked for
one ticket.
The ticket seller. who had been count
ing the nlckels before him, looked up
scanned the purchasers face and de-
clded it was an excellent opportunity &c
work on some spare coppers he wished
to get rid Of. SO when he returned the
change to the purchaser there were five
pennies with the other coins. The pas
senger tartly said to the agent:
"Please give me nickel for these
pennies. don't want TO be bothered
with them"
To which the agent replied Whats
the matter with them? They're good
money. as good as nickel"
Instantly the purchaser saw an OPP
portunity to return the pennies, at the
same time putting the laugh on the
agent
well, II they are so useful just let
me have another ticket and you keer
the pennies. The ticket Is lighter than
the coppers," he said.

The committee goes even further INTO
the realm OF psychology and discourages
all pictures suggesting marital lnfehc-
ity or those that might offend religious
sentiment. Anything that might sug-
gest malicious mischief II not crime Ia
the 90 or % per cent. OF children VINO
make up the moving picture audience
is carefully omitted.
In the early days OF the committees
work one oat of every ten French pic
lures was rejected. But foreign manu-
facturers have learned to conform to
American standards in this matter, and
the number OF culls has decreased.
About four fths Of the pictures are
now approved. though some Of these
have to suffer changes in detail.
The throwing out OF picture is an
expensive matter to the manufacturer,
who has paid his actors and his photog-
rapher. But II is wisdom in the end
for the police are sometimes even more
particular than the committee. and the
public which patroni2es the finn drama
is not at all slow in voicing its disap-
proVal.
The Aim showing how disease Is
spread by flies when they come into
contact with food was sent out by the
Civic Improvement League and passed
by the committee as educational. But
the police OF Chicago rejected it as be-
ing too unpleasant. They also objected
to the picture Of the well known melo-
drama Michael StrogoN," in which the
Nihilist's eyes are put out by the Rus
sian police. This was merely indicated
/ 20 the audience. the victim with his
back TO the audience emitting pun OF
cigarette when the atrocity was sup
posed to be committed.
SO the manufacturers are very glad
to have something In the way of official
approval. and those managers who VEN
ture to show the unauthorized films are
in continual trouble with tho authori-
ties.
