HENDRICK REMOVED BY COURTS ORDER
New Haven Finance Board
 Member OuSted

New Haven, Jan. civilian A. Hendrick member of the board of the finance of the city of New Hav- en has been removed from the board by a decision of Judge Allyn Brown on the ground that he is resident of East Haven and not of New Haven.
 The case got into superior court through a suit brought by William A. Hackett, then tax collector against the city and MT, Hendrick in which he asked for an injunction restraining the city from making payment to Hendrick for services on the board, and also asking that he be removed as a member of the board on the ground he was not a resident elector of the city but Of the town of East Haven.
 The court found evidence that Mr, Hendrick had been living for five years at S4 High street, East Haven, and the mere fact that he had oc- casionally slept in a room above his office in the Times Leader build ing in Orange street was not suffl- cient to qualify him as a resident elector of the city of New Haven. Judge Brown in tns decision quotes from the charter of the city and points out that under it MT
 Hendrick was not. a bona tide cleo tor of New Haven because he wa: not an actual resident of Nc"
 Haven.

Nationwide Effort
 For Better Visions

New York, N. r., Jan. 5.-Plans for a nationwide effort in behalf If better vision in education and in- dustry were formulated today at the annual meeting of the Eye Sight Conservation Council of America. Of the 25,Oo0,000 school children in the United States, G.ooo,c00 have defec- tive eyes, while in industry 50 per cent of all employees are like wise afflicted, according 10 the couh- cil's report. Nearly s300,o0o,000 is lost annually through industrial &C., cidents due to defective lighting, the report states.
 Lawrence w. Wallace, of Wash ington, D. C., was elected president nf the council. Guy A. Henry Of New York was reelected general di-
 ector. R. NJ. Little of the state de- ,artment of education at Albany vas chosen a director. Secretary of Labor Davis was named to the board of councillors.

firmly on its opinion that such pay ments should be permitted.
 Neither does the administration look with favor on suggestions that because of the British objections to the payments the American claims should be submitted to arbitration. It is felt very strongly here that the claims are unassailable either on legal groundspr with relation to the equities involved, and that there Is no reason why an entirely satisfac- tory adjustment cannot be made by direct intercourse between the gov- ernments that will share in the Ger man payments.
 Throughout the discussion Wash ington has indicated desire to be lenient and to extend the period for payment as long as may be neces- sary.
 While the clementel debt memor- andum apparently Is not regarded as definite proposal. it does relieve the minds of Washington officials in several respects. It acts as direct negation Of hints that M. Clementefs celebrated balance sheet implied reputation of its war debt and 1t also indicates that French officials ore giving serious thought to tho sort of funding arrangement they might be able 10 make.
 The hope in Washington that this first gesture will be followed up in due course is based largely upon the attitude of mind revealed by M. Clementel in his personal and unofficial communication to MT. Herrick.

MELLON ALSO HAS
 FRENCH PROPOSAL
Details Secret, But Moratorium
 Is Mentioned .

Washington. Jan. 5.-The French memorandum, regarding payment of Frances war debt 10 the United States was transmitted today by Secretary Hughes to Secretary Mel lon for his personal and private information"
 Inasmuch as the document was presented by M. Clementel, French finance minister, to Ambassador Herrick. us an unofficial and private communication, state department officials would make no comment on the suggestions embodied in 1t. They did say that 1t was hoped the Clementel memorandum might be made the basis for a follow up.
 Settlement Plans.
 The memorandum is understood to contain preferences to a settle- ment plan including moratorium. with payment over a period of 80 years from the time the moratorium expires, and interest payments dur ing the moratorium period, at a rate of one-half of one per cent.
 MT. Mellon becomes heir to this much discussed document by virtue of his position as head of the debt | funding commission, authorized by congress to receive and act upon all offers of settlement by debtor na- tions. He is expected to lay the French suggestions before the com mission within a few days.
 U. S. Steel Silent.
 Meantime the diplomatic phases of the debt question seem likely to remain quiescent, at least so far as the United States is concerned. Ii inter -allied debts are discussed dur. ing the Paris conference of finance
 ministers, the American representa-
 lives there, Ambassadors Kellogf
 and Herrick and James A. Logan are expected to declare themselves
 unprepared to take part in such discussion.

 It is suggested that the general tax exemption statute shall provide; CD The befeticiary with few ex- captions, must be incorporated un- { der the laws of the state of Connec- ticut.
 l t2) Personal property, as well as real estate, perpetually devoted to public use should be exempt.

 tuition is incorporated.

 of the real estate should be taxed.

 by charter provision used as 8 clul
 or social organization or for an
 other private use should be taxed The dominant use must determin
 whether or not it is exempt.
