TOO SLOW A WAY
 TO PAY STATE DEBTS
Will Require About Twenty Years to
 Pay Off Bonded Debt.

The bonded indebtedness of the state, amounting to $13,O0O,0O0, will be paid off in about 20 years by the state sinking fund of $500,0U0, desig mated by, the last general assemly when it laid a state tax of $1,150,000, according to a statement made by State Treasurer Frederick s. Cham berlain. The sinking fund was paid into the State treasury on Nov. 10, 1915.
 Bonds having a par value of $5O5,- 900 of various cities and towns of Connecticut have been purchased with this $500,000 and the income derived from it. The annual income from these bonds, according to the treasur- CT, will amount to $20950 which will be added to the amount now on hand in purchasing more securities for this purpose.
 "In about 20 years" said Treasurer Chamberlain, this fund will pay off the present bonded state debt of $l3,- 100000. I have bought and cancelled during the last fiscal year $64,000 of state bonds, leaving $3,000,G0O of the 8 1-2 per cent and $10,000, ,000 of the per cent, now outstanding"
 Regarding the estate penalty tax, the treasurer gave out the following statement:
 The last general assembly passed an act putting penalty on the es- tates of persons who had failed or neglected to pay taxes during their lives on property liable to taxation.
 The first payment of this tax was received Dec. 30, 1915, and at the close of the fiscal year, Sept. 30, 1916 the amount collected was 51,66427 Of this sum the various cities and towns will receive 80 per cent, that lis $41,331.42 will go into the coffers of the towns and cities where the des- cedants resided. This will be dis tributed to the various towns and cit ies in about ten days.
 Tt is confidently expected by the treasury department that at least $100,000 will be received during the present fiscal year, which will end Sept. 30, 1917, for division in the va rious towns and cities of our state, but this distribution of the tax for the current year will not occur probably until October, 1917. This is an en- tirely new source ferevenue for the towns and cities.''

1863 Deer Killed,

The superintendent of fisheries and game received Monday a letter from L.. R. Burgess of Daniels farm, Fairfield. stating that he had shot a deer on his premises. This makes the number of deer killed since the law went into effect in August, 1915, 1,663 The re- ports for the past few weeks show that the slaughter of deer is not so great this fall as it was year ago. Various reasons have been assigned for this, but the most plausible one is that there are fewer deer to be killed.
