The British people are pressing de-

Stop Cider Sale;
Few Drunks Now
HAS LITTLE TO DO
NOW THAT THE POLICE HAVE
SUPPRESSED THE SALE OF
0YERCHARGED CIDER.

The reason for the scarcity of drunks
in the recorders court this week is
attributed to the discontinuance Of the
sale of cider in Americus
So many complaints were made
about cider selling that the police be-
gan close watch of the suspected
places. with the result that the cider
suddenly disappeared from the mar
ket 1t was thought to have had too
large a percentage Of alcohol in it.
At any rate, few drunks have been
reported practically none at all. And
tie recorder has little to do.

NEW BRITAIN THANKED.
Hartford Appreciates Willingness of
Fire Department to Give Aid.

Hartford's appreciation of New
Britain's readiness to give prompt re-
spouse with fire apparatus, had there
been need of a call for aid, the night
of January 80 when the G.. Fox q
Co. and Woolworth stores were de-
stroyed, with threa tened destruction
of the business center, is contained in
letters from President Horace b.
Clark of the former -city's board of
fire commissioners to Chairman Ed
ward G.. Babcock of the safety board,
received today. One of the letters
contains formal appreciation and
thanks. The other is to Chairman
Babcock personally.
The sentiment is expressed that, al
though it is hoped New Britain will
never have need to call for aid, the
Hartford department will always stand
ready to send as much apparatus as is
possible, should there be need Of as
sstance, to work or cover up territory
for the local department. Apprecia-
ton is also expressed for the prepara-
tions of Chief Robert M. Dame to
take two motor pumping engines to
Hartford in short order should the call
for aid have come. l.

CITY MUCH WORRIED
OVER PROPOSED BILL
Pipe Line and Reservoir Lands May
Be Assessed at Financial
Account Value.

New Briatin people are much in
terested in bill now before the leg
islature which, if passed, they believe
might work a hardship on this city,
in common with others, by making
them nav an excessive tax to small
towns by assessing land, through
which pipe lines and reservoirs run,
at their financial account value. That
would mean the city would have to
pay tax, not on the value OF the
land owned but on the value OF the
money put into the land. Thus, if a
strip of land cost the city $1,000 and
to put pipe line through it cost $2,-
600 more, instead Of having to pay
tax on $1,000. the city would have to
pay a tax on $4,000.
1t will be remembered that a num-
Der of years ago a bill came before
the legislature of a similar nature and
provided for the taxation of pipe line
lands, etc. A test case was tried in
South Norwalk and Corporation Coun-
sci e. Cooper Of this city assisted
in defending the city. The decision
was against the bill and, as a result,
it is said that even today the city has
number of unpaid tax bills charged
to them by different small towns about
the state. AS a, result of this test case
the bill was SO amended that city
would have to pay on an assessment
of improved farm land Valuation"
Should a new bill more stringent be
enforced, it is said in the water de-
partment office that it would cost the
city many thousand of dollars in addi-
ditional taxes. The opinion here is
that such a bill is unfair as it COM
pels a city to pay for privileges not
enjoyed.
At the present time New Britain
has to pay a heavy tax yearly to
Southington, Plainville, Bristol and
Wolcott, for in each of these places
there is either a reservoir or pipe line
leading from one.

BURGLARS AT FIGHTERS
Attempts Made to Unlock Front and
Rear Doors--Postage Stamps Would
Have Been Thieves Reward.

Mystery surrounds a bold attempt
to burglarize the local brokerage Of
flee of Richter & Co., in City hal!
building last night, in the heart of
the business section of the city with
streets heavily patrolled by police.
The managem ent is puzzled as to the
cause of the attempt as, had it been
successful, nothing excepting a
small amount in postage stamps
would have been secured All money,
including that received from "calling'
communications, is taken. to a place
of safety at the close of each bust
ness day.
At opening time this morning it
was found that an attempt had been
made to force the lock Of the front
! door. Instead of unlocking it, the
attempt was sufficient to jam the
mechanism so that expert attention
was necessary before the door could
lie opened. The attempt was repeated
at the rear door the key being found
! inside on the floor. According to
! Detective Sergeant Samuel Bam-
forth. the attempts have the ear
marks of amateurs

DOMESTIC TROUBLES
Broad Street Man Fears Mental
Alteration Because of Unhappincss
Because of Homo Life.

Domestic troubles following a
separation from his wife and conduct
of his children in ignoring him are be-
lieved to be responsible for the con-
dition of Charles Nelson, painter of
Main street, who appealed to Sergeant
T. M. Herting at police headquarters,
last night, saying that he feared he
was becoming mentally unbalanced.
He was locked up for safe keeping
and will be examined for his sanity.
1t is expected that he will be taken
to the Town Farm today for observa-
ton.
Periodically. he told of disagree
ments with his wife. who lives on
Broad street, her refusal to live with
him and the conduct of his children in

reported that an unblanketed horse
had been left standing near the rail-

and appeared to be suffering from the
cold. Aid was quickly sent but no
horse was found. If Humane society
agents will make themselves known,
the police will find plenty of work
for. them especially during the
cold weather. Thus far they have
been far more noticeable by their alb
sence than in many other cities.
