$71,OOO Pruned From Paving and
 Sewer Request

Many city departments felt the keen edge of the Board of Apportionm ent's pruning knife last night when the long hera1ded s1asIing of expenses was started in earnest. One of the heaviest cuts was recommended in the requisi- ton of the paving and sewer com mission whose $150,000 request was unofffcia11y trimmed to $71,000 by the elimination of several proposed paw ing projects. While the recommenda- tions made last night have yet to be passed upon in final form by the board. the recommendations are usually adopted.
 Seven proposed paving projects, 90 per cent. of which is said to be paw ing between trolley tracks which has been neglected by the Connecticut Company, totalling s15O,ooo was cut practically in half. From the salary account of the city engineers office, $1,5oO was s1ashed, and City Clerk Francis P. Dunigan was refused $500 for office supplies. Wages for 15 ex- tra clerks in the selectman's offices. used for the work attendant to the making of voters which in the future will be done by the Town Clerk, were eliminated to the extent of $960. The Board of Appraisal lost $1,50o, while the registrar of voters and the Me moria1 Day committee each lost $200 from incidenta1s.

Au- gust Yunkes, represented by Attorney Edward, O. Jansen, is seeking a de- cree of divorce from Helen Yunkes, who has retained Attorney John Keogh, Norwalk.

However. it is claimed that she elected her husband because tle did not bring home enough jack
 Paula admitted that her mother went out and worked days while they lived in New Canaan, ''But if she had behaved herself she wouldn't a-had to do it." By this it was explained nagged all the time. The couple were married November 2S, 1896, and desertion is claimed since No Yunkes and the daughter Paula got the air. There is a younger daugh- ter, Rose, IA; a third daughter. is dead.
 When a letter written by Paula from Camden, N. J., to her mother, in 1919. was read. Mrs. Yunkes broke down and wept bitterly, but when the daughter passed the mother moment later neither gave the least sign of recognition.
 Attorney Keogh for the defense brought a motion for a non-suit on the grounds that in Stamford in 1919 the father came back and the couple lived together for a time, he nlain- taining that the 1910 desertion could therefore not be claimed, and that the necessary three year period had not expired.
