TOWN ISSUES DEFI
 ON FISHING ORDER
New Fairfield PreCipitates Row
 in which State Will Act

New Haven, Conn.,, May r Pl- The little town of New Fairfield, in Fairfield county, has thrown over board state laws regulating fishing within it's boundaries and has set up regulations Of its own.
 This defiance of state statutes was given an official standing when at q special town meeting, the New Fairfield citizens adopted bylaws giving the residents Of that place the right to fish in the town ponds without a state license.
 Chief State Warden A. J. William son. of Bridgeport, charging that the action is q menace to state pre- rogatiye, declared he would take prompt action in an attempt to
 save this town from the conse- quenccs of its rash action in trying 10 override the state"
 Rather than await his opportun- ity 10 place some New Fairfield anglers under arrest to test the constitutionaity Of the new law. his plan as announced was 10 appear in Hartford today to seek an injunc- ton restraining the town from put ting into operation its newest ordi- nance. As a state officer, he said, he would uphold the state laws, Ire gardlcss Of what New Fairfield or any other town in the state does or says"
 "Wa intend to mind our own bust l ness" was the comment of Supt John w. Titcomb of the state fish and game commission. This means, i however. he declared that wardens will arrest anyone in New Fairfield or any other town who is found fishing or hunting without a license
 or otherwise violating the fish and
 game laws of the state,
 1 T don't recognize the power of New Fairfield" the superintendent said. 'to make it's own fish and
 game laws"
 It is tho contention Of the Jus 1 ice Tairchild. leader of the "seces- i sion" movement in New Fairfield
 that the town has never delegated 1 to the state the right to make laws | fishing in the waters within the town boundaries. and therefore the
 power 10 make such laws remains
 with the citizens of the town.

REPORT STATES JULY SHOWS
MODERATE GAIN III BUSINESS

business activity in the Pacific
Southwest territory registered a
moderate gain during July. This
increase was surprising, as July,
and the third quarter of the wear,
normally show seasonal decline
from previous months. The usual
slackening incident to the summer
vacation period apparently did not
occur in many lines Of activity.
This is the Introductory paragraph
of the monthly summary of condi
tions in the Pacific southwest com
piled by the research department of
The First National Bank of Los
Angeles, the Pacific Southwest
Trust & Savings bank and the First
Securities company and released for.
publication today. The summary
continues in part:
Reports of bank clcarings and
bank debts afford statistical evi-
dence that the volume Of trade and
industry during the month was the
largest since March Of this year.
July totals, as indicated by records
up to the twentv-ninth of the month
were approximately three per cent
larger than June and April, nearly
II per cent greater than May, and
IS per cent in excess Of July 1925.
Trading at wholesale and retail
continued in large volume. Sum
mer buying was slow during the
first half Of the month, but i'm
proved with the advent of warm
weather Retail trade in the agri-
cultural districts recorded larger
gains than in the metropolitan area.
Industrial operations declined, eX-
ccpting fruit and fish canning. which
increased seasonally. Petroleum pro-
duction was slightly larger. Building
was more active. contrary to the
usual trend for July. The valua-
zion Of permits issued, including
one very large item, was the larg-
est for any month of 1926.
The agricultural situation is def
initc.- favorable to the business
outlook. With but few exceptions.
the condition of crops and markets
is good. The labor supply has been
adequate at reasonable prices. Ilar-
vcsting Of deciduous fruits is in full
swing. The high temperatures in
the interior valleys hastened the
maturity of all fruits from 10 days
to two weeks. Some burning of
fruits and reduced sizes and tonnage
were reported, but the loss was not
serious. The possibility of mildew
damage TO grapes was minimized.
