CHANGES PROPOSED IN
DErERMINING AUTO FEES


 Motorists in general will look with fa- vor upon the proposal of Automobile Conimissioner II. B. stoeelsel to chance the method Of determining fees ioT reg istration. so that the cars and trucks that do the greater damage to tae state highways shall pay a greater portion of the tax
 The present system, which has been in vogue since the department was es- tablished. is based on horsepower of the vehicle registered and is figured out according to the bore and stroke of the cylinder. multiplied by the number Of cylinders. This gives an indicated horse power. but the deve,opel horse power is vastly different and in all cases consid- erably higher. For instance, a car that is taxed for 27 horse power develops better than % horse power. and cars with similar horsepower ratings wary also in speed which is Q factor in the destruction of the highways.
 Under the present system. Ford cor l is required to nay as high fee as some ] cars that weigh three to four times as much and eauently are of greater | damage to the highways The new ar rangement proposed win provide for a heavier tax on big motor trucks whicl probably do twice the damage to thi highways as private passenger automo piles.
 The proposal also includes a tax fol heavy horse drawn trucks. which. whg' they do not travel at the speed of tmotor trucl or go such long distances yet do their share in wearing out ih highways, for which damage they hav hitherto paid nothing
 The automobile commissioner. is work ing in accord with the highway com
 missioner in working out a new an
 more equitable scheme for this taxation

 Besides a poem in accordance with the i sentiment of the occasion there is the in-
 scription done in eoloFs. To MT. and Mrs.
 James B. Palmer, on the occasion or
 their fftieth wedding anniversary 1S70-
 1920.
 I On December 90. 1870. Mir Palmer married Miss Abbie E. Morgan, daugh-
 ter of Youngs and Elizabeth Morgan of Poquonock Bridge. Mrs. Palmer was | born on September 2, 1874. Mir. Palmer

 ed degree A quiet home=loving woman held in the highest esteem by her friends
 MT. and Mrs. Palmer have one son. James 5. Jr.. who was born at Round
 Hill August [, 1875. he was educated in | the Riverside Grammar school of Jewett l City and at Storrs Agricultural college, 1 and is now a Rural Free Delivery car
 Tier on Route 4 from Norwich. And one 1 grandson, Earle, student at the Nor ] wich Academy.
 1 There were over 150 guests present, a great many prominent people from Nor
 wich and other parts of the state. Notable among the guests was Miss Ada Lewis of Westerly, R. l.. who stood up" with MT. and Mrs Palmer on their wedding day 50 years ago.
 1 The gifts were many and of value, l numbering several hundreds of dollars in i gold, including SEQ from the Connecticut state board of agriculture.
 The large rooms were trimmed in ever
 green. Everybody was happy and the
 smiling faces, of young and old were
 lighted by the warm glow from open fire places, where great logs blazed in true
 old farmhouse style. Never did Round
 Hill see such a merry gathering before. l Mrs. J. B. Palmer, Jr, read an original ! poem that fitted the occasion exactly. Other numbers of a pleasing program
 were. piano solos by Mrs Arthur M. Brown and Mrs. Fred S. Leonard; vocal solos by Mrs. George H. Prior, Mrs.
 Leonard and Rev. Myron D. Fuller; a so- prano and baritone duet by MT. and Mrs. 1 c. H. Prior and reading by Frank Nell 1 The accompanies were Mrs. Prior and

COUNTY RECEIPTS SUFFER,
 FROM PROHIBITION


 With more than s1.nOO aoN from liquor licenses gone, the financial statements of the county commissioners of the state which havc been filed with the secretary of the state, show the difficulties under which the counties labored during the fiscal year ended September 30N 1920. The expenditures during the 1920 fiscal year were larger than the year before, but the receipts were less than ip the 1919 fiscal year. The following table shows receipts and expenditures covering the jails and county homes:

In Hartford county fol 1 instance, although the nominal receipts in the 1920 fiscal year were much larger l than in the previous year, the big in crease was not caused by big revenue ! but by two large loans which the coun l ty commissioners negotiated.
 In the s624, ,271.25 receipts reported b! the county commissioners of Hartfor, county were included two loans of $99, I 990 and S450,000 respectively The frs loan was made by the City Bank | 1 Trust company and the second loa' came from the Aetna Life Insuranc 1 company.

 Jewett City. Baptist church and has
 served as the chairman of it's church
 committee for more than 20 years, and is
 now a member of the board of trustees. The guests knew before they arrived
 that they were to be given an oppor-
 tunity to see MT Palmer's matchless trophy collection, but not one who had never seen it had half conceived what years of prize winning had made pos- sible in this all surpassing exhibit A room ten by twelve feet has been set apart for the display and here, arr ranged in the most artistic manner pos
 sible by Afr Palmer's sister-in-law, Mrs. Charles Palmer, of Poquonock Bridge, are nearly six thousand ribbons and rosettes representing over S15,00O act ually awarded Mir. Palmer for the high est grade exhibitions of cattle and sheep. A large couch one one side of the room is also completely covered with the rib- bons, as well as a table in the center
 Upon this center table are fourteen

 the medals. Here enclosed in their leather cases are 36 engraved bronze

 B years. One of the very noticeable
 points in the trophy room is the decided
 prcdomiH eace of blue in all the ribbon
