CONNECTICUT co. IS
 TO PAY OVERDUE TAXES


 Semi-official information to the ef- .ect the Cprmectieut company is to make a payment of from S750,000 to S800,000, in back taxes was received at the state capitol as welcome news. While no official information has been received at the office of the state treasurer that the money is forthcoming there is an air of expectancy that the state is soon to be enriched to the extent of more than three-quarters of million and even thar will be most welcome,
 There is due to the state of Connectt- cut from the Connecticut Co.,, in back tax es approximately $1,S20,000 and if pay ment is made as suggested it will reduce the indebtedness of the Connecticut Co. to about an even million. The suggestion that the Connecticut Co was about ready to make another considerable payment to the state was made at the annual banquet of the Connecticut chamber of commerce at the Hotel Bond last Thursday evening when J. Moses Ives of Danbury, receiver for the Bridgeport-Danbury Street Rail- way company and familiar with affairs of street railways in the state President Lucius s. Storrs of the Connecticut Go. eould not be reached by telephone for verifcation, but it is understood Mir. Storrs, after the announcement by Mir Ives, intimated the information was cor rect.
 The indebtedness of the Connecticut CO. to the state was incurred during the last four years when expenses of operation were at the peak, and the company was able to pay the taxes only in part. The considerations of the public utilities com mission in permitting the company to increase fares in successive stages from five to ten cents and of the travelling pub He to aid the company to get back on its feet by continued if not increased pat ronage, together with decrease in the cost of operation, is having it's effect and the company is beginning to find it. self in position to meet some of its old obligations.
 ] It is expected the payment from the company will be received by the state 1 treasurer in July, following the termina- 1 tion of the fiscal year. In the 1921 session of the general assembly, the leg islature came to the aid of street rail 1 way companies in the matter of tax ob i iligations by deferring payment of taxe. due the state prior to Aug. 1. 1921. It wa. l provided that on or before July 15, 1929 and annually thereafter, each compan, 1 pay to the treasurer of the state on ac 1 count of taxes, the payment of which wa. deferred, in addition to the amount to b, l assessed on the income of each compan! annually after the year 1921, one-haIf O its total net income ending on Dec 8 next prece4ingE Any such company which within six years subsequent to Jul, l 15, 1922 hquidates it's entire obligation Ito the state for taxes past due, shall b charged interest at the rate of 1-2 pc cent. a year, otherwise interest rate O
