OWNER OR LESSEE MUST
 PAY BILLBOARD TAX.
Attorney General Hinman Renders .
 Decision on New Law.

The language of the law passed at the past session of the general assem- ply for the taxing of billboards at the rate of one cent square foot does not make it's interpretation easy. Sec retary>of State Charles D. Burnes has found it necessary to propound a ques- tton to Attorney General George E. Hinn1an for the elucidation of the act. The secretary asks as to whether in the case of advertisements displayed, on space owned or leased by another, the license required by the act should be obtained and the fee paid by the owner or lessee of the advertising space or by the person whose 'adver- 'tisement is to be displayed thereon,
 In his answer to the question, the attorney general says that under the statute the obligation to secure the li- cense for the display of advertisements is placed on the person, firm or cor poration displaying the advertisement In section 3. however, the secretary is authorized to issue a license to per sons owning or leasing space for ad- vertising upon payment of the fee and further provides that any advertise ment placed upon any such space shall be exempt from the payment of any license fee during the period for which such space Is so licensed.
 One proposing to display advertise ments coming within the terms of the law must, therefore, secure the re- quired license and pay the fee, unless the space upon which such advertise ment is to be displayed has been ex- empted by the owner or lessee thereof in the manner provided in section 3.

GIVES RULING ON
 APPLES IN BARRELS.
Attorney General Answers Question Covering Standard Closed Pack ages.

Answering the request of State Dairy and Food Commissioner F. H. Stadt mueller for an opinion. Attorney Gen. eral George E. Hinman has found that chapter 1S1 of the public acts of 1915 does not prohibit the use of packages, for the packing and sale of apples, of the same size of the standard closed package. when the package Is not branded or sold as a standard closed package. Commissioner Stadtmueller had proposed the following example:
 ''If a four barrel of the same di- mensions as the barrel prescribed by section 3 for a standard closed pack age. be filled with apples. closed, but not branded, and offered for sale merely as a barrel of apVfes. does the person offering the same for sale vio- late said chapter 1S1. if the apples packed in the barrel fail to conform to the provisions of said act?"
 MT. Hinman decided that the pur- pose of the chapter Is to provide a standard of packages and grades which. when sold. or offered for sale.

BAPTIsTs WILL ASK
 PARDON FOR WALKER.
New London Pastor States Action
 Taken in State Convention.

In a letter published in New London. Rev. J. A. Elder, pastor of the Hunt ington street Baptist church of that city, writes that the Baptist state con- yention is not opposed to a parole for William F. Walker, as had been ru- mored, but on the contrary has voted to petition the board of pardons to parole MT. Walker from the state prison, where he has served nine and one-han years.
 Rev. Mr. Elder writes as follows:
 I noticed some rumorS in the papers this week regarding the proposed parole of William F. Walker from the state prison at Wethersfield, and espe- cially as to possible opposition on the part of the Baptist state convention. part in the discussion of the matter in the convention board meeting in Mid dletown, I ought to publicly state a few facts brought out there.
 Mir. Walker received a sentence of from one to 20 years. He has served months in Mexico. He is now 70 years of age, and has lost weight, run ming down from 146 to 120 pounds.
 His character and conduct in the
 prison is exemplary. Two witnesses who have visited him at times says with emotion of his errors. All the
 securities taken by him have been ac- counted for. the last lot of $100,p00 in bonds having been regained from the Sharpers into whose hands Walker fell, by compromising for $50,000 or $60 ,000. He las no means left and has no l buried loot which he hopes to enjoy on his release. The New Britain Savings bank officers are personally favorable | to his release, but cannot act official 1 ly, as their depositors might criticize.
 Walker will never fill any position of | trust again. He is old and broken down and will have to be cared for by l relatives. The ignominy of his deeds and his sentence will rest on him to l the last moment of his remaining life No parole can change the public shame which he must still endure. To return him to his relatives. who have suffered
 so deplorably on his account. would
 seem but slight boon to grant.
 The board of trustees of the Baptist
 state convention, after discussing this
 matter in two sessions. voted unani-
 mously to petition the board of parole for the release of William F. Walker Rev. John R. Stub5ert, D. D., and l others who at first expressed doubts | withdrew all opposition. The Baptists
 are better off because of Walkers em- | bezzlements. They had $50,00o in 1906 Losing this through him, they restored | it in a united campaign and kept or
 until today they have $235,000 invested ] funds of the state convention.
 | I trust the above facts may hell some to see the matter of MT. Walk
 CTS release as an act of mercy to ar | old, broken down, repentant man, who ! fell into the hands of stronger met than himself, and was led into crime ! for which nearly ten years of impris- onment would seem enough.
