The proposed changes in the tax laws
were not revealed by Mr.. Mondell.
although he Indicated his disapproval of
the program for the discard of the ex-
cess profits levies. He contended that
such action at this time would mean a
shifting of burdens from large incomes
and profits to the small and normal
incomes and profits No hope for a re-
turn to pre-war expenditures and ap-
preparations was expressed by the Re
publican leader, although he predicted
that for the fiscal year beginning July
|. 1921. a reduction ''by upwards of a
billion dollars would be effected, max
ing the annual government expenses ap-
proxmately S3,250.000, 600. Fewer gov
ernment employees and smaller appro-
priations for the army and navy were
cited by Mr.. Mondell as possibilities
for reductions after July |, 1921.
Mr. Mondell estimated that for the
fiscal year beginning next month. gov
ernment revenues would exceed ex-
penses by at least $l.046 604, ,720 unless
unusual expenditures not contemplated
by congress- are made. This expected
surplus, the Republican leader said, was
due to economies by congress in the re-
cent session, when 81 81, ,39J. .2S0 was
provided for the years expenses. In de-
termining the surplus Mr. Mondell said
he accepted the most conservative es-
innate of revenues made by the treas
ury, or total of So, ,420, 100000.
The unbonded war debt was placed at
81, $50 100000 by Mr.. Mondel, who said

CONVENT CHAPEL WINDOWS
 PLEDGED WITHIN TWO HOUR

A substantial proof of the high re- gard in which the Sisters of Mercy of the Norwich convent are held by the parishioners was given Sunday morn ing. At the 7,90 mass the rector, Rev. John H. Broderick. announced that he would like to replace the plain glass in the five windows of the nuns con vent chapel on Perkins avenue by stained glass each window to cost $250. He repeated the fact at the g o'clock ma ss
 Within two hours the entire five windows had been promised and throughout the day Father Frederick continued to receive messages from others in the parish eagerly offering to donate windows. The holy women. who, hiding even their family names and in many cases ignoring family fortunes, in poverty devote their busy lives to teaching and training the children of the parish, visiting the sick, ministering to the aged and poor and outeast and forlorn, beautifying Gods house and caring for the altars, are held in the most affectionate rev. erenee by every Catholic; and St. Pat rick's people have given signal proof that these gentle and self sacrificing religious in this parish are appreciated in the quiet but important work which they are doing to carry out the mis- sion @ the Saviour. to Whose service they have devoted their life.

REFUND F LICENSES SURRENDERED

counsel says: The licensee must sur
 render his license before it expires by
 lapse of time, irrespective of any ap-
 plication for renewal. in order to become entitled to a refund"
 In answer to the question Are the
 commissioners required under the
 statutes to refund to all liquor owners
 or any of them?" the lawyers say.
 'eThe commissioners are required un- der the act to refund to all licensees
 of nquor, drug and prescription li-
 censes, as well as holders of club cer-
 tificates or licensees whose licenses have become valueless by reason of the inability of the holders thereof to
 sell intoxicating liquors by virtue of the passage of the war prohibition act, who surrender their licenses before they expired"
 The uncertainty as to the validity of the federal prohibSS4n law was such that it would not have been wise for the county commissioners to take &C., ton under Chapter 164 until it's valid ity had been determined. because it would have been hazardous for the commissioners to make payments to licensees when there was g. doubt as to whether the amounts thus paid could be recovered from the state and towns.
 Answers to these questions were drafted before the United States su- preme court had rendered its decision holding that the federal war prohibi- tion law is constitutional. They were thus drafted. npon the contingencies that the law might be held valid, and that it might be held invalid. In view of the fact that it has been held valid we have re-drafted the answers as they appear herein. the attorneys say
Norwich bulletin., 1920-01-12

The county commissioners of the eight counties of Connecticut have re- ceived an. opinion from Lawyers T. F. Carmody of Waterbury, Fillmore S. Banks of Fairfield. and Arthur M. Brown of Norwich. based on certain questions on war time prohibition and under Chapter 164 of the public acts of the legislature of 1919.
 This chapter provided for a refund to licensees for the unexpired term of their licenses after July 1, 1919, when war time prohibition became effective. On July 1, 1919, some licenses issued on the first Monday of NS5ember, 1918 were in force and did not expire until the first Monday. of November, 1919, and there were other licenses in force those Outstanding in Hartford and New Britain which were issued on the first Monday of May, 1919, and which will not expire until the first Monday of May of the present year. The state legislature provided for a surrender of the licenses to make claim from July 1, 1919, for a refund. Many dealers held on to their licenses in the hope that the war time prohibition ban would be lifted before national pro- hibition became effective on Jan. Is, 1920. The contingencies made a situa- tion which prompted the commission CTS to consult the trio of lawyers.
 It would appear from the answers to the series of questions that the law yers believe that the licensee must surrender his license before it expires if he wants to get a refund for the time it was illegal for him to sell un- der the war time prohibition law Tn answer to the question must licen- see surrender his license in order to be entitled to refund thereof7" the

Frederick, showed the total receipts for 1919 to be $44,1S2.51, the highest figure in the history of the parish.

Vo- tive offerings at the shrines of St. Anthony, St. Anne, ct al, $1,342.09, making the total of extraordinary rev. enues $7,O73.01.

 The principal expenditures in the lengthy list of parish disbursements l included, for coal and wood, s2,552.8 ! for orphans and poor, $1,140 .06; inn proYements in cemeteries, $17,04673. The total expenses reached $36, ,004. .19,
 leaving a balance of $8,17S.32 to begin 1920, indicating that the rector of i the big church not only looks well aft
 CT the spiritual interests of his large flock, but shows extraordinary abili- ty in caring for the financial side of the parish.
 Father Broderiek warmly thanked
 the people for their ready cooperation which had helped to make this splen- did showing possible, hoping that God would reward hundred fold all those who had so lberally supported the l church and school during the year He 1 expressed special obligation to the church trustees, pew collectors, ush- CTS, the two volunteer choirs and oth-
 CTS, whose devotion sunday after Sun
 day helps so much toward carrying out the services in the worship of God with such smoothnes and satis- faction. St. Patrick's is a large and expensive parish plant to mainta m i; but the rector expressed the conviction that those who had been@so faithful ! during the past years would not fail 1 in their duay and zeal during 1920. 1 His report was, as annually, one of
 satisfaction and pardenable pride 10 l his people.
 Next Sundays report will deal with
 matters pertaining to the spiritual side l of the parish.
