THE LATE CAPT. JOHN o. sPICER
 SPENT YEARS AMONG ESoUYMOs

A number of Norwich people knew the late Captain John O. Spicer. of Gro ton, to whom reference Is made as fol- lows by New London writer who tells of the daring whalemen, whose curiosity and sometimes business instincts led them to the settlements of friendly Es- kimos. For more than 41 years the late Captain John o. Spicer made trips almost annually through the Cumber- land inlet, working his ship into Hudson Bay and northwest as far as the sea- son would permit. Sometimes if whale were scarce he would sail for Cape Fare well, thence north into the open polar sea, or, about latitude 72. He built a station in the Cumberland gulf. carrying the lumber from New London and used it for 30 seasons. In this building he kept stores and medicines. He remained at ths station every day for 42 months. He had charge of three ships and owned some shares in each. Whale were Dlen- tiful and the price of oil and bone was rather above the ordinary figures. By staying there and working up cargoes for his ships he saved much delay and kept his little fleet going back and forth all the time. During the long stay he came in contact with the Indians, some of whom he employed and he mastered their tongue. He visited with them in their homes and made firm friends or nearly every one.

 Mir Sheldon said that when MT. Plant died the Eastern Connecticut Power Go. plant at Montville was in an unfinished state and that there was a question whether to go ahead with itor abandon it. It was finally decided to complte it, after the transmission rights had been secured for the Eastern Connecticut Power Company from the Shore Line Electric Railway Go.

Small town opposition to delegating collection of the property tax on motor vehicles to the state motor vehicle de- partment killed the bill in the house on Wednesday. It had previously been approved by the senate.
 The bill would have provided for a uniform tax of 20 mills on all automo- piles, collectible by the state, and the state would retain 25 per cent. of the income and towns the rest. It was es- timated that there has been approxi- tnately 30,0O0 motor vehicles that have escaped taxation and, by checking up In the motor vehicle department, these machines would not be overlooked.

NEW TOLL REGULATIONS TO
 BECOME EFFECTIVE LILY I

The new toll regulations for the three state-owned trunk line bridges in Connec- ticut, over the Thames river, the Con- necticut River bridge at Saybrook june tion and the one at Haddam, are to be- come effective July 15 and not in Sep tember, 1922 as was provided in the original bill which would have entirely eliminated the tolls.
 Senator c. c. Costello said Thursday that, while it was hoped the tolls would be entirely eliminated, yet the compro- mise has been quite victory in itself, amounting practically to a 50 per cent. reduction in rates, and paves the way for two years from now when there seems little doubt but the next legislature will grant free bridges without much opposi- ton.
 Those who use the bridge freouently will be able, by buying a block of tickets of 50, or more, to buy their passage at 50 per cent. reduction and all foot passeng- CTS may cross the bridges free of charge.
 Those to whom particular credit is due for securing of a modification of the tolls are Senator Costello; Representatives Charles H. Smith and Howard A Edg- comb of Groton; Representatives Morris B. Payne and Ernest E. Rogers of New London and Representatives ". Ellery Allyn of Waterford.

 MUSIC AT OCEAN BEACI

The controversy over the merry-go- round at Ocean Beach, operated by Charles A. Cowan, Jr, has been settled satisfactorily to all concerned. All further objection has been withdrawn and Chief Thomas F. Eagan of the state police department will issue a license to MT. Cowan.
 This was the result of the personal visit to the Beach by Chief Eagan, ac- companied by several of the objectors, as well as MT. Cowan and his counsel, At torney Hadlai A. Hull.
 There was never an objection to the merry-go-round itself, but merely to the alleged music which was claimed to be harsh and noisy.
 The machine was operated with the music muffled and the drum eliminated Two thicknesses of canvas were placed around the instrument and the horn muf- fled. The music can be heard by those riding on the apparatus and does not now disturb any of the cottage occu- pants.
