THAW RAISES WATER 8 IN.
 AT CITY'S BIG RESERVOIR
Mild Weather Helps To Increase Public Supply Stored At
 Shuttle Meadow,

A direct result of the thaw in pro- gress for several days is a three inch rise in the city water supply at Shuttle Meadow reservoir since last Saturday, 1t was reported today at the office of the board of water commissioners.
 This rise in the reservoir is vel come, since the big basin is several feet below the point when the city pumps at Forestville can be relieved from the 24 hour a day operation which has stretched over a period of several months. Today's reading shows 13 feet and inches with melting snows continuing to send water into the reservoir in large quantities.
 The Forestvile pumping station, although built for use only in case of emergencies such as the one now existing. is capable of producing water at a cost less than the revenue it produces.

SHEARS SHARPENED| FOR BUDGET CUTS
Pruning Committee Of Finance
 Board in Session Tonight
REDUCTIONS ANTICIPATED
Park Commission Expected To Feel Full Weight of Disapproyal--Asks I Nearly Three Times As Much As Appropriation Last Year.

The ,pruning committee of the board of finance and taxation will meet tonight and Its shears are ex- pected to clip large amounts off the estimates of nearly every depart ment, with especial attention to the budget of the park commission, which calls for three times as much as was allowed last year.
 Discussion among members of the board of finance and taxation, the common council and the city meeting board indicates that any effort to provide the full amount of the park boards requests will meet opposi- ton and is almost certain of defeat. The park department asks more than $100,000 as against approxi- mately $35,000 last year. The pur- pose of the extraordinary large budget Is to rush to completion work which has been started in the Will low Brook and the north end parks, and included among the items of work in the latter account is the construction of a caretaker's' bun galow. This is expected to be one of the items to be clipped. The commissioners explained the erec- ton of bungalow at cost of about $7,000 is one of the matters neecs- sary to proper caretaking at the park.
 It is understood that an effort will be made to provide an amount of money sufficient to complete work on one of the two parks and allow the other to stand until next year. With the financing departments now working on bill that will permit the city to expend payments over a period of years on work that does not cost fraction of what IS asked by the park department, it is not believed consistent to triple on ap. propriation. | At the recent session of the board of finance and taxation, the park commission submitted figures tc show the per capita payments fo, parks in this and other cities While New Britain showed lower than some of the other cities at that time, the proposed budget for nex year would put the city far in ad vance of many of the larger citiei in this section of the country. The increase asked for is almost grea enough to necessitate an addition oi one mill to the tax rate which now threatens to touch the 24 mill mark
 While the park budget will bt the center of the ''pruners" atten. ton, other departments will also be pared down in the drive to keep the tax rate at a popular figure.

ST0NEHAM TELLS OF
 DESTROYING BOOKS
Says He Did This Because He Thought He'd Have No More
 Use for Them

New York, Feb. 1O.-Charlcs A. Stoneham, Giants baseball chief owner, indicted as a broker for the fraudulent use of the mails, testified before federal court jury today that he had destroyed the books of his former brokerage house because he thought there could possibly be no more use for them.
 The books were destroyed, he testified, a short time after he sold his brokerage business and turned over all his customers accounts to Elmore D. bier, who, with six others, is on trial with him. The government avows that Stoneham did not turn over all his customers stocks to bier, who later failed for S4000,o00 and that the stock record book, were it in existence, would tell the tale.
 Stoneham, who took the stand yesterday. continued as q witness in his own defense today and was sub jcctcd to a searching examination by the government as to his motive in destroying his books a short time after he had sold his business to bier in 1921. His only reason. he in- sisted, was that he considered they were no longer of any use.
 Victor House, government prose- cutor, also asked him if 1t were not true he had maintained a fictitious loan account 10 cover his failure 10 deliver customers securities to bier Stoneman denied this. a. though the government has intro duced evidence designed 10 pro, he had delivered only S2.o0o,o'" worth of these securities, when i't. amount should have exceeded g. | OUN nm
