To Come Before Special Ses- sion of Common Council
 January ,, 1921.

Mayor orson F. Curtis estimated this afternoon that at least si0o.000 will be necessary to carry the various city departments over the fiscal year. 1t be- Ing his belief that the combined de- partment, deficits will show that amount nexs June, The mayor has requested each department to furnish him with figures on the amount of money already expended and tho amounts remaining in their treasuries so that he may make a detailed re- pGrt to the council at it's meeting Jan uary 5. The council will undoubtedly request the board of finance and tax ation to suggest ways and means of raising the funds, making necessary the carryng over to next year of a 2 mll tax. The money will be borrowed on next years grand list.
 There will be n deficit in the esti- mated income this year due to tho im- possibility of collecting all back taxes. such as has been figured In the in- come estimate. The collection from this source last year was unusually large. narrowing the number of bad bills down comparatively low. In fig- uring the income for this year tho collection of all remaining taxes was anticipated. This. those familiar with tho department say. Is out of the question and unprecedented.

Clinton, Conn, Dec. 1.-Two duck hunters. William H. Rowland and Ernest Schwabe of this town, were l drowned at Duck Island breakwater off Grove Beach, late yesterday.

 Brings in Fatal News.
 Part of the night boats were out in the Sound and other parties searched the shore for traces of Cooks motor boat and the boats used by the gum ners. Cook himself made shore in his boat. He reported having been blown off shore while going out to tend his lights, as keeper of the Harbor of Refuge limit, and had anchored un- der lee of Duck Island we'll off shore until the sea fiattened out today. He came by the breakwater coming in, and saw nothing of the hunters.
 The men motored over from Clinton to Beach Park, leaving the machine there. It was still there this morn ing. They went out to the break water before the northwest gale broke. The waves later dashed over the breakwater, on which Rowland and Schwabe had taken position. The de- coys and live ducks were floating about the breakwater this morning.
 No Trace Is Found.
 No trace of the men had been found up till noon and nearly every one along the shore accepted the opinion that all had been drowned. Search for the men was begun last night and this morning a number of boats went cruising up and down the shore for clues. Even the boat which Rowland and Schwabe had with them at the breakwater could not be found.
 Rowland was 47 and schwabe about 30. h-
