 Louis Windish, aged 26. of POT Glen street, was fined s5 for driv- ing an automobile with improper brakes, and a nolle was entered on the charge of reckless driving aft CT the evidence was in. Judge AL ling said he believed Windish was careless but hardly reckless. Win dish admitted he knew his brakes were not in proper working condi- tion, as they held when the car went forward but did not hold when the car was in reverse gear. Officer Feeney testified that the brakes were not in good condition.
 Windish was driving in an east erly direction on Rockwell avenue about $40 last night and Howard E. Payne of 5S3 Broad street, Meriden, was driving north on Bassett street.

Or Stanley street, near the old stone crusher, several hundred feet away | from the scene of the accident Reynolds passed Alenk, who hat not stopped up to that point, ac' | cording to the witness.
 Alenk and his wife, however said they stopped on Allen street near Stanley street. Attorney Saxt contended that Reynolds must have been mistaken.
 Traffic on Stanley street on Sun. day afternoon is so heavy that il | is difficult to distinguish automo- | piles especially if Alenk had min. ute's start after the accident. Judge filling said it is apparent that someone is not telling the truth. If Reynolds testimony that he passed Alenk's car on Stanley street is true, Alenk's testimony that he stopped before reaching
 Stanley street is not true, and vic'
 versa. After passing the case ant | disposing of the balance of thu

NEW HIGH INCOME
 .FOR BUILDING DEPT.
September Expected to Break
 All Past Records

September building will not only run close to the highest amount ever reported in one month. but also will establish a record for income at the office of the inspector since this is the first full month under the in creased schedule of fees.
 Already building operations for which permits were taken this month approximate more than S75o,- 000. The Vance street school, which is to cost $250,00o, and the Rackliffe and Levitt apartment building help ed to swell this months total.
 The income from fees this month greatly exceeded the operating costs of the department it is believed, all though definite figures will not be available until after the close of bus mess tomorrow. Through the in creased schedule of permit fees the building department this year will return a balance over operating costs a condition which has not previously happened.

RUNA WAY HORSE CAUSE
 OF CIVIL SUIT FOR S75
Equine Said to Have Slid Down Snowbank on Top Of
 Automobile.

When a horse uses a snowbank as a toboggan slide and precipitates itself down upon an unsuspecting motor car, distinctly unusual situ- ation arises. And this is what the plaintiff claims was done in the ac- ton of Herman Fogelson against Charles Gulber which will be heard tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock in city court before Judge Benjamin w. filling.
 Attorney Harry Ginsburg, appear ing for the plaintiff, will argue that the horse was running wild and that 1t took advantage of the defense less autom obile. The story spring out of an occurrence on Park street last winter, when there was considera ble snow on the ground and automobiles had to move along the roads in ruts already prepared for them by pre- ceding vehicles.
 The plaintiff claims that his ma chine was proceeding along Park street in an orderly manner. The SllOW " Nio utCp anu tIIclt Nrlc HIS II banks on either side of the right of way" According to the plaintiff a horse belonging to Gulber ran wild and started to do a bit of mountain climbing. Upon reaching one of the highest pinnacles, it's feet slipped and it slid, or fell, onto the car, causing damage, Fogelson is suing for s75.
 A counter claim has been institut- ed by Gulber, through Attorney William F. Mangan, to the effect that the horse was being led and that the automobile did considerable damage to the horse which was pro- ceeding along quietly and was mind ing it's own business. It is alleged that the horse had no idea Of mountain climbing.

TW0CENT TAX
TAKES EFFECT
ON JULY 80
Attorney Generals Office In
structs Auditor on Col.
lection Methods

Instructions for putting the new
two-ccnt gasoline tax into effect
July 80 were issued to State Auditor
John Stccn today by the attorney
generals office. /.
Commenting on the problems con-
fronting him because Of tho shift
from the old to the new law, the
opinion said: Between the old and
the new law there il difference
in the time when the tax is due.
Under tho old law the tax is due
when the gasoline is in the hands
Of the dealer for sale. Under the
new law the tax is not due until such
time as the product has been sold.
"As consequence there will be in
the hands Of dealers when the new
law takes effect large volume Of
gasoline upon which the tax Of one
cent has been paid or which is then
der the new law. 1t was the evident
intent Of the voters to increase the
gas tax from one to two cents and
no more. 1t was not the intention
that three cents should be paid.
Neither was it the intention that any
gasoline should be sold after July 80
iS<Os upon WHtcu VdX Tess tnuu sSWu
cents should be paid.
The Intent of The Law
I, Sewing effect, therefore, to the
evident intent Of the voters legislAt.
ing, it is our opinion that YOU
should collect from all dealers a taN
Of one cent on al gasoline sold aftc,
July 80 upon which there has been
paid. or has become due under the
old law, tax Of one cent, which
will make total of two cents pei
gallon for the amount sold after
that date. You should, therefore
require reports from the dealers
which will disclose facts sufficient
for you to determine the forcgo.

IN accordance with the Opinion
Stccn has prepared to send out to al
gasoline dealers blanks on which t.
report their inventory at the close
Of business July %. The new tn,

The first collections under the new
