Too Early To Decide On
 Special ax

Unless the most urgently hoped for change for the better In industrial affairs, which at present is not inn mediately indicated, it may be neces- sary fo levy a special tax to make up the deficit, but it is too early to de eide" Such was the statement of John A. Leverty, a member of the Board of Apportionment, when inter viewed today in relation-to the rumor that such a special levy may be necessary because of several develon- ments, especially the extra demand upon the charity department of the city.
 The failure of Governor Lake to sign the teachers bonus bill. adds 5000 to the deficit, and added to this is the problem of Grand street bridge notes to the amount of $780, 900; State school grant, S115, 1000; Charities department deficit, $S6, 1000; and estimate additional funds for the needy, $15o,O00 which together seem to indicate that special levy in inevitable.
 Sigmund Loewith of the board could not be located, and William E. Burnham said, %tI cannot say until I go a little deeper into the details"
 However, Frank J. Green stated that with what information he has at hand now, it seems very likely that it will be necessary George S. Hill had returned to New York and could not be located for an opinion. William E. SeeIey, President of the Board, has already given it as his be- lief that the special tax seems the only solution to an unpleasant prob lem In the meantime the taxpayers are. hoping harder than ever that the bottom has been struck and that there will be a rebound in the way Of better business conditions

Both Sides
 Confident Of
 Winning Out

The much heralded special election on the council-manager form of gov ernment for the town of Stratford is being held today. Apparently the the antis for-ove the week end many signs of various designs have been posted about the town.
 At noon today reports from both camps indicated confidence. From the camp of the ''antiS' it was report ed that the vote had been as heavy as expected. and that it was believed the mo" vote would carry the cleo tion.
 At the same time from the head quarters of the committee in the Stratford theatre building it was said that slightly over 800 votes had been cast in the forenoon. It was the first time the committe- or many members of the body had watched an election so closely and the vote was taken to be light Confid ence was also ex- pleased with the results of the first half day of ballotting. The polls will not close until nine o'clock tonight
 One sign was even placed high and dry on the front of the Samnlis store- This sign read, t'Vote No" Mr. Sam mis being especially determined to have the 'tyes' vote win makes the posting of this sign especially daring.
 To counteract this barrage. the headquarters of the charter commit tee the SITdllOIu lueeiIie is decorated with a large sign read ing, "The politicians are against the charter, so the taxpayers, should be for it."
 It will be late tonight before the definite result of the bal1oting will be known, but a good guess is that the measure will not be carried but that the vote will be close.
 One member of the charter com nittee who shares this view believes that a close vote will accomplish all most as much as would a vote for the charter for. it will show those in of flee that heunpublic- is beginning to want to be shown. and knowing that the voters are beginning to watch town affairs more closely than in the past, will cause their influence to be felt by the men in control of the destintieS of the town.

By UT. c.

by J-T. c.
 Impressive ceremonies marked the laying of the cornerstone at St. Thomas church in Fairfield yester- day Bishop Murray of Hartford, as church dignitaries were present. About 1000 people crowded close to the speakers stand while the sermons were being delivered.
 At 2:45 D. m- the men who were to march, about 300 in all, left the rear of St. Thomas hall and marched through the town. The Unquowa Band led the parade followed by Fla therS Blake, Massicotte, and Bowen of this city and Father Daniel McCar- thy, a La Sallette priest of Hartford, and Father James O'Brien of Stam- ford.
 Next in order came the Holy Name Society of the church followed by the American Legion of Fairfield. The Unquowa Fife and Drum corps fol- lowed the men of the legion and the Fairfield. The Red Men of the town were the next in order and they were dressed in full regalia- The line or march extended from the cnurch Bridge in Southport, then back the Post Road to Elliot street to Center street and thence to the church.
 Shortly after the marchers had ar rived at the platform o7d where 4bo tfe R,ebt g1- Reverend Bishop Murray, accompa- nied by about thirty priests. includ- ing Fathers Leddy, Mooney, Ganley, Bowen, Sullivan, Nihil. Moore, Lynch, Komara- Shaughnessey and Mass1- cotte of this city, appeared.

 The yard of Dublin Castle, which is usually active with the movement of police 1orries and armored auto mobiles, was empty of cars this ;lnorning, while the auxiliaries on duty were standing about in their sshirt sleeves.
 Castle officials and others, who hitherto have been unable to walk in the streets openly were going about Hllis forenoon undep normal condi- itions. Another development was the lappearance of furniture vans which left the castle presumably with the belongings of officers who, while the Hruce lasts, will be able to leave the sconinement of the castle area and Hive in their own homes.
 In consequence of the abolishment rof the curfew, the theatres, the nov ling picture houses. the street car AcompanieS and the railways made an nouncement that from tonight they would resume their normal hours.

No Criminal
 Responsibility

Coroner John J. Phe1an does not find anyone criminally responsible for the death of William Albert Dunn, who died from tetanus, as the result of the explosion of a revolver with which blank cartridges were being fired, during a part of the Fourth of July celebration. He was handing the gun to a companion to try. holding the barrel in his hand, when the weapon was accidentally discharged.
 Delay in seeking treatment of the wound caused by the wadding in the cartridge caused tetanus to set in, and when the case was observed it was too late to save the lad.
