BEDDING
Special to The Times.)

Bedding, Oct. 11.---The Republican candidates for the office of selectman were showed under at the town meet ing yesterday when William c. San ford and James DriscolI, both Demo- crats, were elected by light vote. l.. s. Warner, one of the Republican candidates, was also elected.
 Joe Godfrey was elected assessor with a majority of two votes over Albert Gorham. There was some dis cussion over this election owing to the fact that three ballots were rejected because a cross was marked against the names pf the auditors.
 Sanford argued that if these marked ballots were counted it would leave loophole for working smart practices. His views were upheld by Everett Gorham. the moderator, who by his decision defeated his brother.
 It was voted at the business part of the town meeting to invest $1,OO0 Of the sinking fund in Liberty Loan Bonds.
 The matter of letting contracts for the repair of town roads was taken
 up and after some discussion was postponed to a future date.
 Fire on Monday afternoon destroyed the remaining barn on the property Of B. c. Sanford. This is the fourth destructive fire which visited the San ford school during the past four years l The fire broke out just as the cattle were being driven in for the night Fortunately due to the brilliant and heroic work of the men employed on 1 the estate the cattle were all saved, but the barn, which is the only one remaining, and two siios were con- pletely destroyed with a loss of about 1 $4000. The property was insured for i $2, 800. All efforts to discover the orf- 1 gin of the fire have so far failed. On account of the fire E. c. Sanford will sell all his live stock. g head of cat tie, including 15 cows and a pair of oxen, Monday morning at 10 o'clock. | Rev. Raymond Cunningham, rector of the Episcopal church. starts for France Friday to take up his duties as chaplain with the American Expe- ditionary Force. At the parish meet ing he was given indefinite leave of absence and was told that his posi- tion would be open for him upon his return from the front. During the 1 absence of Rev. Raymond Cunning ham, the parish will be served by
 Rev. MT. Twelve, of Bethel, who will assume his new duties immediately Wednesday night barn on the premises in hometown occupied by J. l S. Burgiss and owned by Miss Newell

NEW INCOME TAX RULINGS

Washington, Oct. 12-Amended regulations governing collection of all incomes by Americans from foreign sources were issued by the Treasury department yesterday. In effect they provide that the first collecting bank or agent shall be the source of infor- nation in all cases of foreign items except interest items, and that on the interest items where a foreign coun- try or corporation issuing the inter- est bearing obligations has a pay ing agent in this country such paying agent shall be the source of informa- tion; and that if no such agent has been appointed then the last bank or collecting agent in this country which handles the interest item shall be the source of information.
 Banks or agents collecting foreign items are required to register with and obtain a license from the Com missioner of Internal Revenue.
 The new regulations define in detail and give the forms for reporting all foreign income and interest items.

DOES NOT THINK
 CONNECTICUT co,
 WILL RAISE FARE

Hartford, Oct. 12-Concerning a report that the Connecticut company was considering the advisa bility of advancing the trolley fares to seven
 cents with an additional cent for a transfer, Richard T. Higgins, chair man of the Public Utilities commits sion said today that the commission had not received any intimation from the company of such intention, but he did not suppose the company would increase the rates without first
 comforting with the commission and
 he did not think it was likely the company would fix transfer charge of any sum- Chairman Higgins said he appreciated the fact that company was in need of a greater income and that it could not get the increase from any source except the fares of
 passengers but there was the danger of making this source less productive of revenue by the establishment of rates that would give encouragement
 to competing means of transportation.
