Under a section of the motor vehicle laws of this state. added at the past session of the general assembly the le gal duties of a coroner in connection with an automobile accident in which per son is killed are materially increased. It is no longer legal for such an official merely to certify that the medical ex aminer's report filed with the state mo- tor vehicle commissioner is a true copy of the original, as has been the practice of some Connecticut coroners. The law states taat: Every coroner shall make a finding in respect to every fatal accident within his jurisdiction in which motor
 vehicle is involved and shall, within a reasonable time thereafter, transmit a,
 certified copy of his findings without charge. to the commissioners of motor
 vehicles.
 There are some coroners in the state who have made practice of doing this. following their investigation of fatal ac- cidents, but there are others who have contented themselves with simply certi- ] flying that the report of the medical ex- ! aminer sent to the commissioners office | is a true copy. his does not comply

 that the coroner "saall make finding | This includes a statement of the essen | tial circumstances connected with the | accident and an official statement as tt

COMMISSIONER BLODGETT
 LOOKS FOR LESS TAXATION

Federal tax officials at Washington are confident that the necessary government revenue can be produced and still ac- complish a material reduction in the amount of tRXation according to State Tax Commissioner William H. BIolgett. who returned to Hartford Thursday from the national capitol Commissioner Blod- gett pointed out raat the decision of the ways and means committee of the house of representatives at Washington to rec ommend the elimination of the excess profits tax, effective January 1, 1921, would probably mean an increase in the amount of money the state would other wise have collected under the income tax law
 The federal law permits corporations to deduct tleir excess profits taxes from their state returns and hence the state is not able to collect anything on this amount of the federal excess profits and war profits taxes had not been deducted on the state returns in 1920 the state would have received s52s. 961 21 addition al tax. Of course the amount will be muca less for this. year as the corpora tions of the state will not show anywhere as large profits as they did in 192.
