HIGHWAY CONTRACTS WILL GIVE
 WORK TO UNEPLoYED

The Connecticut state highway depart ment will let as many of its contracts for road building as possible this fall, following a suggestion from Secretary of Commerce Hoover to Governor Lake, which has been forwarded to Highway Commissioner Bennett. MT. Bennett said that anything that helped the contract ors helped the highway department, and if the contractors could do work on some jobs during the winter, it would mean that the work would be finished just that much earlier in the following season.
 The letter from Secretary Hoover fol- lows:
 My daar Governor
 In making a systematic study as to what we can do to promote employ ment and to thus assist in tiding over the very severe situation that we are now in, this department has had its at tention called to the bearing Of the per iod at which contracts are currently let for the building of roads upon this prob lem. In order that there should be no question as to the correction of the con clusions that had been reached I sum moned committee comprising represen- atives of the great engineering societies who have prepared for me the enclosed opinion.
 The conclusion of this inquiry are in a word that there would be additional economy in construction if the contracts I for the road were let i1 the fall instead of in the winter and spring; that con tracts let at this time would enable con siderable employment over the winter ir the manufacture of material ready for construction early in the spring. Ii would enable contractors to give employ ment to some of their .staffs through the winter instead of imposing 1t at higher rate upon the short summer construc- tion season. It would relieve pressure on labor during the period of larger de mand for agricultural help and would, in deed, expedite the completion of roac building.
 The criticism that we are in a period of falling prices and possibly of rail road rates, and that contracts let tAi: fall might be at higher figures than would prove necessary later in the season ma1 be answered by making provisional con tracts so that any such difference would accrue to the state. This method ha! been partially adopted in a few state! and you will, of course, understand tna my only desire is to offer suggestion that by cooperative action might leaC to some reduction of unemployment.
 I hope you will find the matter worthy of consideration and will be glad to have you advise me of your views upon it.
 Yours faithfully, Herbert Hoover.

TWENTY COLCHESTER CHILDREN
 WITHOUT SCHOOL FACILITIES

The power of the state to compel town to provide soaool facilities for all the children in the town under chapter 390 of the statutes of 1921 may be in- voked in the case of the town of Col chester, where 20 children are without any such provision. nae children had been attending in a vacant store but since June the store has been sold and will not be available this fall.
 A committee from the state board con sisting of Charles L. Ames, Principal Charles Torry of the Putnam school and George Strugis, the boards prosecuting agent, visited Colchester and talked the matter over with the seEectmen of the town.
 MT. Ames said Wednesday that the committee did not find that the select men had refused to provide a school for the district aud said no action had been taken by the board of education or would be taken until the submission of plan by the selectmen. The ad- visibility of transporting the children to another district in the town was dis cussed, but as the distance is six miles over a bad road which is almost impass- able in the winter season, the plan was abandoned.
 A portable school was also suggested and may be considered by the Colchester l officials.

PRICE OF GASOLINE
 IN FIVE-INCH FIGURES


 To avert unexpected announcements regarding the price of motor fuel after the tank has been filled and the auto mobile owners is practically obliged to pay whatever sum is demanded the re- cent session of the general assembly passed a law which became effective July 1.
 The law provides: 'No person shall seN or offer for sale any gasolene or other product intended as fuel for motor boats or motor vehicles without having displayed, where it may be readi- ly seen by any person purchasing gar olene or other product, a sign upon which shall be stated the price per gallon of such gasolene or other product which price shall include any and all taxes. The figures of such sign shall be at least five inches high and four inches wide"
 The law is especially important in view of the fact that beginning Sep tember 1, a state tax of one cent a gal lon is to be levied on all gasolene sold in the state. This tax is to be collected by the motor vehicles department de- rectly from the wholesale dealers, of whom there are about fifteen in Connect icut. With the new law in effect it will be impossible for an interruptions gaso- lene distributor to charge the current rate which will include the tax, and then ask the motorist for ten or fifteen cents extra to pay the tax you know.

GOT LIQUOR RUNNING
 STORY FROM MOKAs


 Latest developments in the Gus Mokas embezzlement case indicate that the s4oo fund for the detection of liquor running in whio1 Springfield police automobiles were alleged to have been used and the larceny of which is charged against Mo- kas, who is held in Springfield for the local police authorities was raised by the Citizens Committee of Springfield. according to tse Springfield Union.
 The money was raised to trap the alleged liquor runners, Detective Han nibal L. Hamliu Is said to have informed Attorney Telley E. Babcock. acting pros ecuting attorney when he applied for the warrant for Mokas' arrest according to the Springfield paper.
 Hamlin is said to have stated that he got the liquor running story from Mokas and that he Uaen went to the office of At torney Gordon Ireland and placed the information before the Citizens Commit tee.
 The liquor running story Is true, Ham lin is said to have told the Springfield committee but 1t will take a lot of money to trap them.
 In regard to the alleged liquor traS the Springfield Union says:
 ''The plan arranged was to have Mo kas proceed to Springfield and buy l; cases of whiskey, the purchase of whicl had been arranged for by Hamlin ant Mokas from a Springfield man. The ioat was then to be taken in the automobil, to point just outside the village O Moosup, where purchaser of the loac would be waiting to transfer the liquo to his own machine. Then the Moosul sheriff would swoop down on the part. and arrest them.
 Sheriff Tillinghast, with Detectiv William Jackson of the state attorney office, Detective Harnlin were safel planted at the rendezvous, according t the story told by Hamlin and the arrivs of Mokas and the whiskey was confident ly epected at the arranged hour in tn early evening.
 But Mokas failed to arrive, and tn posse shivered in the ambush convince that tire trouble or some other misha of travel had delayed the expedition It was not until the arrival of the col gray dawn that Hamlin began to be sus picious of Mokas. He came back Springfield and met his erstwhile agen who told him a story of being held u with the load of whiskey near Palmer.
 "Hamlin demanded the return of th $400 be said, and when Mokas put hil off with a lame excuse he went back t Norwich and began proceedings for th arrest of Mokas.
 Atty. Babcock declared Wednesda night in his prosecution of the Moks case he has no intention of going int the Springfield end of tue affair, bein only interested in seeking the convit tion of the defendant for the larceny money in Norwich. Until the newsp; per stories reached him the attorne , said he knew nothing about the allege attempt to implicate members of t. Springfield Police Department, and thi , he has no desire to involve any Sprini field official in the case.
