ing the manner in which wine may be

ton law. In the original measure it
was required that one who wished to
obtain wine should fill out an affidavit

priest minister or rabbi by the au-
liberties of a church, giving its loca-
ton. Then followed a request that
he be allowed to purchase not exceed
ing three months supply of wines
from the dealer. giving the latter's
name in full. Finally, it was required
that he undertake to the best of his
ability to zee that none of the wine.
if obtained would be used for other
than sacramento purposes
The law has been so amended as to
make the procuring of sacramento
wine less difficult for those churches
which ether have the wine Used made
under the supervision of the clergy
or have it distributed to the various
churches under the supervision of the
clergy Thi- MOI sU~e applies only to
such churches as have hierareha
bishop or similar officer in charge of
territory or association OF churches.
In the case of these a minister, raobl
or priest is designated to approve all
the applications submitted by the va
sious churches upon approval he
sends one copy to the winery or dis
tributing point and returns the other
copy. Shipment may be made imme-
diately.
Churches or congregation that buy
direct from the dealer must in all
cases use the affidavit. All wine
shipped for sacramento purposes
must be given serial number ana

WEEDS AND GRASS BEGIN
TO OVERGROW TROLLEY RAILS

Disuse and abundant rain have
given the rails of the Shore Line
Electric Company on the. Norwich
New London line a sad appearance of
neglect. The weeds and grass during
the past ten days have grown UP be-
tween the rails and ties on the inter-
urban lines until they top them by a
good six inches. The rust covered
rails winding through the weeds and
grass appear like gigantic brown
snake gliding along through field of
grass. In some places the rails are
entirely hidden from sight by the dirt
that has washed over them.
In this city the street department
has proceeded to clean UP the gravel
and dirt that has washed across the
tracks at places on Franklin and other
streets.

QUESTION is RAISED
BY AMUSEMENT LAW

The possibility that the state police
commission, under the law of the last
session of the general assembly, which
gives the superintendent of state po-
lice the authority to license places of
outdoor amusement. shares the re-
sponsibiiity for the license issued by
the superintendent has occurred to
members of the commission. In order
that there may be no further ques-
tionS as to the responsibility of the
commission the attorney general has
been asked for an opinion as to the
meaning Of the law.
1t is understood that some attorneys
have given an opportunity that the
issuing of licenses is entirely vested
in the superintendent while others
have held that. inferentially at least
the law imposes responsibility on
the commission.
raised as to the significance of the
word daily in statute. The first ac-
ton provides that the superintendent
may issue a license authorizing an
applicant to conduct the place
named in his application at such times
and reasonable hours daily. "etc."
The ivew is taken that the use of the
word daily" means that the license
includes Sundays.
Another nebulous provision is that
referring to the violation of the con-
ditions of the license which may be
sufficient reason for its revocation.
The conditions which are to be set
out in the license are the naming of
the applicant, the location of ~ the
places, and the hours each day in
which the entertainment or amuSe-
ment is given. These conditions. it
will be seen. are not very exacting.
and it is thought by some people that
the mere observance of them would
not secure an orderly amusement or
entertainment.
The more the law is scrutinized the
more apparent become it's defects in
drafting. 1t has already been decided
by court that the superintendent of
police has power to grant licenses.

TITLES AWARDED FOR
PURELY PARTY SERVICES

London, July "a Correspondence of
The Associated Press) The tender
spot in British political life today is
the dispensation of titles. These are
awarded, of course by the king. but
on the nomination of the prime minis
ter, and the criticism of the reformers
is that titles have been given for a
long time and by various prime minis
tiers for purely party services and
practically bought by contributions to
party funds.
The house of lords has A peculiar
interest in this matter because the old
noble families are jealous of having
their caste lowered by the addition of
the newly rich and purely rich to the
orders of nobility.
