King Realizes Gravity
 Of Morocco Situation;
 Calls Crown Council

Paris, Aug: e-Alfonso. King of Spain, realizing the gravity of the situation in Morocco, where his troops have just suffered a crushing defeat, was scheduled to hold an inn portant conference with his leading statesmen today. The King, mindful of the Republican movement which has received powerful impetus by the Spanish reVerceS in Morocco, has called what virtually amounts to a crown council.
 Meanwhile, according to the latest news from Madrid, the Spanish gov ernment and the various municipal authorities are fearing disturbances, as the national sentiment is greatly aroused by the latest developments in Morocco.
 ''The war news from Morocco is becoming steadily more serious. The insurgent forces are increasily daily. They have been augmented by thou sands of Moroccans who had been en- gagged in harvesting work in Algeria when the instruction broke out and who promptly returned to their ma tive land to help in the long agitated war of liberation" The chief req son for the rebellion given by spokes- men of the insurgents is the charge that the Moroccans have been treated badly by Spain.

New Owners
 MayHave To
 PayUpT axes

Assistant City Attorney W. Parker Seeley today explained the position of the city authorities in regard to theb ack taxes owed the city by the U. S. Housing Corporation. During the war a great many houses were built in this neighborhood by the government for which they have never paid taxes. although the Bridg geport officials feel that they ought to be paid as various improve ments were put into the properties. At present there are several suits be- fore the courts in regard to the pay ment of these taxes, the attorney general having advised the Housing corporation that they could not be taxed on the houses which they built
 Yesterday Senator Brandegee in- troduced a resolution asking for in formation concerning the status of the controversy. The city claims close to $100,000. MT. Seeley point ed out that he was anxious to settle the matter out of court. He feels that if there is not enough money left these debts that the government should appropriate the necessary money. If they do not the city will be obliged to collect from the present property owners. which would work consid erable hardship on them as they bought their property with the assumption that they would not be called upon for back taxes At this particular time, however. when Bridgeport is making every effort to gather in money for old debts the city can not afford to let all these assessments go by.

Barker Seeley who thereupon sends xrarpine to the debtor and if he does not either pay up in a weeks time or come to some satisfactory arrange ment, the matter will be taken up Tn the courts Already Mr. Seeley mas sant ont about twenty of these notices, and the purpose being to send out about that number each week, so that he can bring immediate action in the fall term of the court against all those who have not paid up.
 In this connection it is interesting to note that day before yesteroay III Worcester the city officials there seized several buildings valued at over s6OO.OOO because the owners had not paid their taxes on time..
