DEFICIT THIS YEAR
 MORE THAN THE AVERAGE
Connecticut Debt Is Now $1o,ee1, ,272-
 Time to Call Halt.

State Treasurer Edward $. Roberts, in his annual report to the governor, made public Thursday. says; The fis- cal year ending September 30 last, showed the seventh annual deficit. but much larger this year than the aver age for seven years. being $2,4s7, ,eo3.71; In seven years the state has turned surplus of $265, ,470.S6 into a net debt of $10,961, 2T203. being a loss of $11, 1,226.742.39. In the last two years the deficit has been Ss,0s3.415.75. It is time to call a halt in all but the most pressing expenditures"
 Taking up his report in detail, the state treasurer points out that in the "civil list account" the balance on hand October 1, 1913, was $315,431. .68. Revenue receipts for the year brought the total up to more than seven mill lion dollars: the sale of bonds yielded S4, ,000, 900 and $690, 900 was borrowed as temporary loans, making a total of $11, ,S31 ,24o.47. With various pay ments, the balance on hand for this fund on September 30 last was $1o2,- 827.97.
 Carries Over $so5, ,44s balance.
 Under the head of general and spe- cial accounts the balance to the creos- it of all accounts on October 1, 1913, was $487, ,160.63. The receipts from all sources up to September 30 last, were nearly thirteen and a half million dol lars. Payments for all purposes amounted to $13, 3,633.9s6,73, leaving a balance of $305, ,44S.6S to the new year.
 Among the larger items of receipts are: Automobile fees. S406, ,6zS.S4; in heritance tax, $669, ,674-11; tax on mu- tual life insurance companies. $429,- 591-34; nonresident stock tax, $234,- 227.11: steam railroad tax. s956. .SS6.95; ings banks tax, $704, ,SO3-7T; state tax, $1, ,101, ,3S2.02.
 Advises State Tax of 2 1-2 Mills, Speaking of the state bonds Mir ! Roberts says: Three million and sixty-four thousand dollars of the bonds now outstanding will be due 1 in 1894 and eight. million dollars will | mature in 1886. Thus it will be seen l that in about 21 years, the entire half mill per annun would probably raise ti1iS amount nthat period and as the treasurer is authorized to pur- chase and cancel state bonds when he thinks it for the states interest so to do. it would seem to me to be best to next 21 years, to be used exclusive l ly for the purchase of state bonds for cancellation.
 "In addition to this half mill tax, recommend a tax of two mills for the needs of the state. This will be none too much
 Estimates for Next Two Years. MT. Roberts also made public to- | day the estimates for state expenses 1 for the two fiscal years ending Sept l 30. 1917. the total amount being S1S,- l SI0,1S0. The largest amounts are: | Judicial, $l, ,431, $50: educational, $2,- | 633,429; highway commission and | highways, $3,556,000: state institu-
 tions and charities, $4,401.729 and in- l terest on state bonds and temporary loans, $1,3T5.O0e.

Francis c. Harpsr.

Francis c. Harper, g year old son of Dr. and Mrs. F. J. Harper, passed away at noon on Thursday. The boy was taken i'll Sunday afternoon and the hemorrhagio form of scarlet fever de- veloped. He rapidly grew worse and for three days previous to his death he had been unconscious. The llemorThagic form of scarlet fever is rare and is fatal causing death in from three to i've days after development, and there is no known remedy for it's cure. Fran cis was born in Norwich in October, 1905, and he attended the Hobart ave- nue school. He was bright and of a lively nature which drew many friends to him. He was an only child and the suddenness of his illness and death makes it all the more painful for his parents to bear, and brings to Dr. and Mrs. Harper the heartfelt sympathy of their many friends.

Martha Jane Richards, wid- ow of George Woedbury Jones, died Thursday morning at 9.30 o'clock at her home, No. 329 East Main street Her death was due to hemorrhaEe of the stomach and congestion of the lungs.
