Liable for Note Endorsements.

George D. Howell of this city is liable for endorsements on three notes of the McCrum-Howell Com pany, amounting to $15.O00, under decision handed down by the United States circuit court of appeals at New York City. the decision being a reversal of a decision o Judge Julius M. Mayer. A year and half ago the NcCrum-Howell Company, manu- facturers of radiators and vacuum cleaners, failed with notes outstanding for S2,600.000. Mr Howell, a lawyer, lived at Uniontown, Pa, but in 1910 moved to Hartford. He lived on Pros pect avenue. The Mechanics and Metals National Bank of New York, the Corn Exchange National Bank and the Franklin National Bank, both of Philadelphia, filed a creditors petition in the United States court in this city, June 3, 1912, asking that MT. Howell be adjudged bankrupt. It was alleged that MT. Howell was en- dorser on McCrum-Howell notes to the three banks for s15.000 and that, with Lloyd G. McCrum. he had com mitted an act of bankruptcy on March 13, 1912, by making an assign ment to Oscar T. Telling or Pitts burgh, for the benefit of creditors. A general denial was made and 1t was claimed that the notes had been paid in full by the agreement of the owners of the notes to accept capital stock of the Richmond Radiator Com pany. Judge Mayer directed the dis missal of the petition in bankruptcy and the banks took an appeal which has resulted in the reversal of Judge Mayors decision. Mir. Howell has since sold his home to former Lieu tenant Governor Everett J. Lake.

CITY CANNOT TAX
 STATE PROPERTY
For Municipal Improvements, Attorney General Light Says
REQUEST OF MAYOR WILCOX
As General Principle, in Absence of Express Legislative Authority, State Property is Exempt From Cost
 of Municipal Changes.

Special Hartford Correspondence
 Hartford.-Upon the request of Ma jor Frank L. Wilcox for an opinion regarding the assessment of state property for a part of the expense of paving the street and resetting the curb in front of the Connecticut School for Boys at Meriden, Attorney General John H. Light handed down the following: Dear Sir:-You ask my opinion as to whether the city of Meriden has authority to assess the property of the state for a part of the expense of paving the street and resetting the curb in front of the Connecticut School for Boys. It may be stated as a general principle that, in the absence of express legislative authority, the property of the state cannot be assessed by a principality for the cost of municipal improve ments. I have not taken the time to examine all of the amendments of the charter of the city of Meriden, but ] think l may safely assume that the Legislature has not given to the city the express authority to assess state property. In the case of state vs. Kilburn, the court says: The city could not, without the permission of the state, assess benefits against it as the owner of land benefited r. pub lie improvement. General ex )ns, granting 1t liberty to assess al per sons specially benefited, would not import such permission. The state holds the immunities in this respect belonging by the English common law to the King It is not to be sued without its consent. Its rights are not to be diminished by statute, un- less a clear intention to that effect on the part of the Legislature is dis closed, by the use of express terms or by force of a necessary implica- tion. I am of the opinion, therefore, that the city of Meriden has no au- thority to assess the property of the state for paving the street and reset ting the curb in front of the Connec- ticut School for Boys" The opinion expressed by Attorney General Light will be of statewide interest in the matter of leyying betterment taxes where state property is concerned in various cities and towns.

 Meeting in Wethersfield
TO HELP INSTALL AN APIARY
Need of Course of Instruction in Bee keeping at Connecticut Aerieul- tural College Urged by Arthur
 C. Miller Of Providence.

HaEtford.-A vote putting bees at the service of the Connecticut Agri- cultural College to help along the installation of an apiary by that insti- tuition was passed by the Connecticut Beekeepers' Association at it's annual field day at Wethersfield.

The principal speakers in the morning discussion were Lyman C. Root. president of the Stamford Business Mems Association, and the Rev. David Dana Marsh of West Hart ford, vicepresident of the Beekeepers' Association. In the afternoon session the following subjects were eonsid- cred: Putting On and Taking Off Sections" Kinks of the Swarming Season." Watching for Foul Brood" and Why Bookkeeping Should Be Taught at the Agricultural College" Taking up the last named subject, a paper by Arthur C. Miller of Provi- denee on the need for a bookkeeping course of instruction at the agri- cultural college was read by L. Wayne Adams, secretary of the association. MT. Miller declared in his article that the handed-down knowledge of past ages as to bees and their care could be compiled by the agricultural col lege for the benefit and guidance of the beekeepers, and that course in bookkeeping would bring home to peoples minds the importance of bees on the fruit farm.
