Dusolina, Prima Donna.

HEREDITY has not always been a
L conspicuous element in the sue
cess of great singers, but in the case
of Dusolina Giannini, sensational
young American soprano, who will
sing here November Is, direct from
spectacular successes abroad in opera,
heredity has played prominent part.
Nearly every member of Giannini's
family is musical.
Her father was a we'll known opera
tenor, associated with Adelina Patti in
many of her operate performances
here and abroad. He was also one OF
the first professional singers to make
a record for the phonograph. Her
mother was a pianist, and an older
sister has a soprano voice of fine
quality. The two boys of the Clan;
mini family are also showing promise
one as composer and the other as a
cellist. The family gift for music
reached it's highest expression in the
voice of Dusolina, which, even in its
uncultivated state, attracted the at
tention of Marcella Sembrich, who
Immediately undertook to train her.

Hartford, Dec. 81 P)-The varia-

is strikingly illustrated in gasoline
tax receipts of the state the last fis-
cal year as revealed in the annual
report of The State Highway depart
ment now being prepared. During
June, the state received $172,S74.45
in gasoline taxes. This was the
peak for the twelve months. The
low point was during February
when S26,o41&o was paid in taxes,
Combined receipts by the state
from motor vehicle registrations and
gasoline tax for the year aggregated
$7O62.352. This sum, together with
the direct additional appropriations
by the legislature was used for road
construction and repairs. Revenue
from automobile and truck registra-
tions amounted to s5,6l7,617, the
remainder being derived from gas

ASSESSMENT BOOSTS

About Six Per Cent of
Total Will Be
Increased

Approximately six per cent Of the
taxpayers in the City of New Britain
will have their assessments increased
this year, the average boost being
about 10 per cent on more than
1000 properties.
The increases, however. will not
nearly approach the number of tax
payers who last year paid 10 per
cent penalty for delinquency in re-
porting their taxable estates. More
than 5000 tax-lists were 10 per
cented last year. The assessment
boosts, affecting as they do but 900
property owners and carrying with
them percentage of increase only
Cqnal TO the penalty tax no longer
in existence will bring the increased
revenue to a figure lower than that
derived through the imposition OF
penalties for failure to report.
state statutes require notification
from the office OF the board of as
SCISSORS to all property owners whose
holdings are valued higher this year
than last.
In some instances taxpayers vii
he advised of an increase over las
year when. in fact, their assess,
ments will he lower This paradox
cal situation is caused by the fac
that slight increase in valuation

the amount added through a 10 pc
cent penalty last year, not imposed
this year.
