Donations of Towns
To State For Roads
Are Payable Now

An opinion given by Attorney-Gen-
eraI George E. Human to Comptroller
Morris C. webster, of great interest to
officials of the towns of Connecticut,
says that payments due the state on
account of the construction OF state
highways are due at once. The opin-
ion is as follows:
you ask my opinion as to what
time is prescribed by law for payment
of the amounts due the state from
towns on account of the construction
of highways under the provisions of
highways under the provisions of Sec
ton of Cahpter 264 of the Public
Acts of 1907, and for cost of repairs
upon highways under the provisions
of Section g of Chapter 1875 OF the
Public Acts of 1909.
LAS to the obligations of towns I'M
der the first mentioned section, it is
provided in Chapter 116 of the Pub
lie Acts of 1913, that Whenever the
allotment to any town for any year
for the construction of highways I'M
der said section has been expended
and payment thereof made to the con-
tractor by the state, the comptroller
shall send to the town in which the
work has been done and for which
such payment has been made, a state
rnent of such towns obligation there
for, and the treasurer of said town
shall thereupon pay to the state it's
portion of the expenses of said con-
struction.' Therefore, the time pre-
scribed by law FOR such payment is
the time when said statement is sent
to the town by the comptroller.
Under Section 2 of Chapter 1876 of
the Public Acts of 1909, as amended
by Section L of Chapter 267 of the
Public Acts of 1911, it is provided
that. the highway commissioner shall
file with the town in which such road

Attitude of Landlords

landlords is mentioned in the report
of a survey of Bridgeport under the
auspices of the National Amerieaniza-
ton committee. Mrs. Johanna Won
Wagner has made a report. She calls
attention to the many threats of evic-
ton heard here, because of greed on
the part of landlords. The collection
of garbage is not adequate, she reports,
and she decries the manner in which
it is allowed to accumulate. Mrs. Won
Wagner urges manufacturers to assist
their foreign-born workmen to learn
American manners, customs and
speech.

is located a statement of the cost OF
such construction and repairs, and
such town shall, in accordance with
such statement reimburse the state
for the cost of such construction and
repairs No time is specifically pre-
scribed, in said section. when such re-
endorsement is to be made, but 1T is
an established principle that where no
time is fixed for payment a debt is
PAYABLE Immediately upon demand.
ct am therefore of the opinion that
the amount called for by the state
ment so filed by or for the highway
commissioner is payable at the time
when said statement is filed, espec-
tally if the statement be accompanied
by demand for the payment of the
amount called for thereby.

Real Estate Man
Takes Overdose of
FoWler's Solution

An overdose of FHowler's solution,
which contains arsenic, nearly cost
the life of D. F. Watson, a, real es-
tate dealer, yesterday afternoon.
Strenuous efforts by a surgeon after
Watson had walked to the emergency
hospital, saved his life.
Watson has an office in the same
building with Joseph Hartigan's drug
store. He went in there yesterday to
tell the clerk that he had taken the
poison draught in his office, thinking
it was wine. He was given a, dose
Of ipecac, and then sent to the erner-
gency hospital. He nearly collapsed
after telling the physician what he
had taken.
Watson was rem owed to his home
822 Colorado avenue. He spent a
restless might but is improved today.
Arsenic is a cumulative poison and its
effects are difficult to gauge in the
early stages of it's workings.

Recovering From Dose
Of Horse Linoment

The attempt to end her life with a

the case of Mrs. Matilda SaIome, age
%, of $40 Beechwood avenue, and she

hospital where she was taken in the
emergency hospital ambulance yes
terday morning.
Mrs. Salome was ordered back to
the Gaylord Farm Sanatorium at Wal
Iingford for the second time to receive
treatment for tubercu1ar trouble.
Rather than do that she attempted
to end her life by drinking some horse
medicine. When this failed she turn
ed on the gas in her room. She had
a very comfortable night at st. Vim
cents hospital, according to attaches
of that institution and will be dis
charged in another day or two.

THURSDAY, MARCH 30, 1916.

Preparedness advocates have, not
unreasonably, predicted that the work
in Mexico would demonstrate the
Brightness OF their contention, 1t
seems probable that it also will DEM
onstrate that the military quality OF
Americans has not deteriorated under
the influence OF peace and that in war
as in peace Americans are achievers.
The march into Mexico, which is re-
ported as having surprised the Mexi
cans by its celebrity, is the preliminary
bout merely. But it will be surpris-
ing indeed If the American soldiers
across the line do not give an account
OF themselves that will show the met
tie OF Lexington and Bunker Hill I'M
impaired.
Ability TO do one thing well connotes
latent ability TO do other things well.
The peaceful exploits Of the American
people during the last century have
proved high capability and plenty OF
stamina. Less attention has been paid
TO the development Of mi iitary prepar-
edness and the conservation Of martial
spirit, than would have been the case
il our boundaries had abutted upon
hostile neighbors as is the case with
nearly all European countries. But
the spirit which conquered the wilder
ness by military proves and then con
quered the distances between the
coasts by mechanical genius, and set
tied and made fat the land between
the Atlantic and the Pacific is neither
dead nor sleeping.
The Mexican episode-an undesireC
departure from the activities sfpeace-
will not reveal the slightest falling of
OF American grit to endure, will to dc
and willingness To die for the flag anc
the cause. The boys in the ranks ant
the men in officers saddles who arr
now traversing the Mexican desert
willsprove not unworthy OF their line
age. They are the descendants OF th'
heroes OF Palo Alto, lBuena Vista
and Monterey.

Yuan Shi-Kai, President, Emperor,
and Presiden t-once more OF Cnlna
now adds the title OF humorist to his
other distinctions. In announcing his
remuneration Of the crown he drily re.
marks that "the revolution shows that
the demar' for the monarchy in China
is not unanimous
"Quite SO. mot unanimous" is
good.
But while we may smile at Yuan
Shi Kai's irony, we have no right 10
laugh at China. 1t is true that the
transformation from republic TO a
monarchy and back TO republic again
is accomplished without single
change Of the head OF the government,
but that does not argue that there is
insincerity in the demand for repub-
lican form Of government in China. II
there was not an overwhelming and
dangerous sentiment against a return
20 the imperial form, We may be sure
Yuan Shi-kri would not renounce the
crown he arranged to have thrust up
on him.
The fact Is that China has repudiated
the monarchial idea with such vigor
that the Reputation has penetrated
10 the inner realms of the Forbidden
City and made itself recognized by the
extremely practical politician who be.
slowed the title OF Emperor for a few
brief weeks. China has definitely set
