 IN WHITE OAK POND
Mrs. Josephine Neri of Plain vile Believed to Have Been
 Temporarily Demented.

Mrs. Josephine Neri. wife of NulIo Neri of Plainville, ended her life by drowning shortly after ' o'clock this morning in White Oak pond. The discovery of the woman's rash act was made by workman named Yeoman who was attracted to the scene by the appearance of wom- ans hat lying on the bank of the pond. MT. Yeoman dragged the un- fortunate woman from the pond and immediately summoned aid. A tele- phone message was sent the local police. The woman was dead when taken from the water.
 According to a member Of the family, Mrs. Neri, who was 29 years of age, had been suffering from Q nervous breakdown for the past few days, but the family did not in any manner fear any such rash act.

 Mrs. Neri was noticed on the Plain vile road near the Connecticut Crushed Stone company by two work men at about 6:55 o'clock. There was nothing in her manner to indicate that she intended committing suicide. It was only few minutes later when MT.

NEW YORK FACING
 REAL FOOD CRISIS
Union Leader Cannot Control Striking IOngShOrcmCn and Situation
 Is Becoming Grave

New York, Oct. 1S.--New York moved steadily toward the most sc- rious food shortage in it's history to- day as a result of the unauthorized lonGshOrcmcn's strike.
 Thousands of dollars worth of food stuffs are piled high on the piers and Arthur Williams, federal food administrator said large quantities of fruit, vegetables and other perish able foods have rotted. Coastwise steamers and vessels plying between New York and Central and South American ports are still tied up in the harbor. Thousands of tons of sugar are waiting to be removed to refineries and the city's shortage in this commodity is attributed by off, CialS to the strike.
 pr. Royal Copeland, health com- missioner, appealed to President T. V. O'Connor of the longshoremens $ international association to aid in moving the foods from the docks but OConnor declared he could not con- trol the men. Commissioner Cope land today was considering using his police powers to remove the decayed food. If necessary pr. Copeland said he would summon O police guard to prevent interference by tho strikers
 Notwithstanding persistent efforts of international officers to induce the mon to return to work only 5000 of the 10000 men involved are working union leaders admitted. The largest union in the district last night voted to remain on strike.

Income Is Not as Great as Tax payers Association Budget Estimate Provided, Report
 in Official Circles
LACK OF LIQUOR TAXES
 ONE OF THE BIG REASONS
Opinion in City Hall Is That Budget for Coming Year Will Be Even Greater Than Last, Due to Incrca Scu Salaries and Greater Expenses Con- nectcd With City Government.

The city faces a deficit in the amount of income that was estimated as sufficient to cover the city's budget for the present yer, it is said in otIi- cial circles The city figured on an income of $25S. S.635.35, but of this there will be a falling off in the fol- lowing estimated items: Liquor H. censes amounting to $25, .03, and the estimated amount to be collected from taxes. streets and sewer assess ment due the city. amounting to $1G,- 366.S3. There will probably be some fcfc't from the personal tax colloC- tion in view of the eX-servicc men nl- ready in or about to return to this city. Secretary Earl kisselbrack of the war bureau estimates that there are be- tween 5000 and 4.000 of these men from this city.
 Higher Budget Expected.
 In spite of all this however, it is felt in city hall that the city's budget for the coming year will be on the in crease, in view of the increase in sal aries in the various city departments and schools as well as the increase in the cost of supplies and materials.
 Is Substitute Budget
 It will be noticed that the present
 
 CTS association budget and not the one drawn up by the board of finance and taxation. The famous monster city meeting in the armory last spring is now history, but at that time it will be remembered, the 25 mill tax then submitted to the taxpayers of the city by the board of finance was rejected amid d warm discussion and the 21 mill tax, as presented by the Taxpayers association. was adopted.
 Grand List iS S52,OOO, ,OOO.
 The budget this year amounted to s1,337, ,490.49. that of last year being $1,212, 580.3S making a difference of SPA, 4,910.11. The grand list this year was $52,000,OO0. The grand list of next year will probably be greater than this year due to the increase in the number of real estate transac- tions in the city.
