New Gasoline l ax
 Is Soon Effective

Dealers in gasoline in Connecticut have up to sixty days from July 1 in which to sell gasoline and similar products before they must take out licenses in the motor vehicle depart meth and start to pay the tax of 1 cent 0 gallon on their sales. This was the opinion furnished the motor vehicles department yesterday by At torney General Frank E. Healy, in answer to a reueqst for an interpre- taion as to whether the tax should date from July l, the day the act went into effect or on the date the dealer took out his license. The at torney general had previously given a moral opinion which embodied the fects in the written one issued yes terday. The chief features of the opinion are embodied in the following g two paragraphs:
 'aThe General Assembly in making this act effective sixty days atfer it took effect, was following the almost univarsa1 practice adopted by all leg islative bodies of giving business a chance to adjust itself to new meth ods of taxation.
 Reading the several sections of this statute as a whole, I am con- vinced that until application is made and a licenes is granted there exists no basis for the levying of a, state tax under its provisions. Any other con struction would violate the clear 1n- tent and meaning of the language used in this statute

Contingent
 Fund Down
 $32,OOO

Because of continued demands up on it, the Board of Apportionment' s contingent fund of $11oo0O has dWind1ed to a mere $32,0 Since the last meeting of the board in April when the fund was created to meet any emergencies that might arise, S7S,000 of the total appropriation has been expended. Although but four months of the year have passed, more than twothirds of the fund has been spent and but one-third remains to tide the various departments over the remaining eight months of the fiscal year.
 The Charities Department, which has made the heaviest drains upon the fund.- now has an approximate deficit of SS7.000 for the first four months of the fiscal year.

Price Drop
 Is Shown By
 Food Display

An effectively interesting display was put in the windows of the big Mohi can Company's store on Golden Hill street yesterday. It consists of samples of about 25 staple articles of food on each side of a central line, one side bearing the price of the arti- cle in June, 1920, and the other side showing the present price of the same comm odity.
 R. c. Each, general manager of the store, said. in speaking of the display: There has been a great deal of talk among people to the effect that all though wages have dropped and wholesalers have cut their prices the retailer has not yet done his share. They actually believe that they are paying almost as much now as they did year ago for what they eat This window display speaks for itself and the figures can be easily verified by anyone who wishes to look them up. We took 25 articles of common con- sumption and found that while in June they cost S51.5s now they can be bought for s22.67. Potatoes for instance haved ropped from S2.00 to s.S6 eggs from $1-1s to $ .7S, coffee from 80 to $ 50. and butter from s1-92 to s1.26. People are not buy ing yet the way they ought to, many of them believe that prices will go still lower, and 1t is not unlikely that they will, but think that the figures shown must show that the retailer has also done his part

D. & B. Co.,,
 File Petition In Bankruptcy

Claiming they have been forced out of business by the Public Utilities Commission, the Danbury-Rridgepo Taxi Company has filed voluntary petition in bankruptcy. The decision of the commission in ordering them off the Danbury-Bridgep run and giving full jitney rights on the route to the Congress Taxi Company, a rival concern, is held responsible for the plight of the company.
 President William B. Schaenweiss said this noon: There was nothing else left for us to do. The Public Utilities Commission took away our means of livelihood, and actually forced US into the hands of the Bankruptcy court"
 The petition was filed this morning in the United States court in New Haven. Liabilities were given as S1S,154.32, and assets as $9, ,342.37. Preferred claims are for wages and taxes due the city. The D-B concern | operated eight touring cars on the Danbury route.

Must Raise To
 Pay Officials

Appropriations of s1S,6o0 to cover the differences between original ap- propriations and the county tax and salaries of city court officials will be consiered at a meeting of the Board of Apportionment Monday af- ternoon At the final meeting of the board in April. $92,O00 was "appro- priated for the county tax, and S26,- 800 for court salaries The county tax appropriation was mere guess work at the time. and it has since been determined that the tax amounts to approximately $1O5,000, necessitat- ing the additional appropriation of s13,0OO.
 The extra money for the city court was made necessary by the act or inc last General Assembly in increas- ing the salaries of the omclals. The s26. 300 set aside by the board Tor this use was not sufficient, and an ad- ditiona s5,600 has been requested to cover the difference. -
 The board will consider in addl- tion. requests from the Fire depart ment to cover a deficit in accounts and another request from the Charl- ties department
