SHIPPERS REPORT
 HEAVY F0G LOSS
Interruption in Channel Traffic Costing Considerable

London, Feb. Is LP - Shipping interests estimate that the dense fog which blanketed the English channel for five days caused enor- nous losses, not in life or damags to vessels, but in time. They fgur that the time lost through the holding up of vessels in the Thames estuary alone was worth a million pounds.
 The worst of the fog, unequalled in 25 years, appeared to be over this morning, the nists having shifted to the west and become patchy. Many ships which had been held at their docks were able to start. Unless weather forecast CTS are all wrong, cross channel services, both sea and air, will be running on normal schedule again in a few hours.
 From coast to coast the cham Il was fog-bound since last Friday. among the vessels held up being the Cunard liner Aecania. on the voyage from New York. The serv- ice of the Imperial Airways had to be suspended for the first time since it was inaugurated.
 That shipping disasters have been so few is attributed to the fact that the impenetrable mists prevented even attempts to sal. and there was nothing to do bu to tie up at docks.

TAXATION PROBLEMS
 FRANKLY DISCUSSED
tContinued From First Pase)

The commissioner said he did not expect the proposed law to pass as 1t stands in the bill but that he
 wanted all tax officials to consider the suggestion because of the large number of automobiles that now es. cape taxation or are incorrectly valued. The bill provides for valua- ton on basis of weight but the commissioner said he would not oppose the use of uniform book of second hand values.
 Commissioner Blodgett suggested abandonment of the present rule of fair market value for real property and the substitution of reconstruc- tion costs with allowance for de- preciation.
 l The commissioner said one trou- ble with the present tendency to value property at only a portion of | its real value was that this made for a higher tax rate and that with such rate personal property tended to escape taxation. He cited instances from the tax history of Bridgeport to show the equity of his proposed new rule. He said the present statute should have been corrected 30 years ago and that the prevailing sentiment in most con- munities would favor proportionate valuation rather than market value Commissioner Blodgett admitted that the bills goes a little further than he is asking the legislature to go at the present time in that it provides for new method of valuat- ing goods in stores of personal prop erty in factories. He said this is one of the most difficult phases of taxation and that he is in hopes to see plan applicable to Connecticut worked out in a few years.
 Concerning tax liens. Commis- sioner I3lodgett urged the passage of a bill that would prohibit tax col lectors from placing a lien on prop crty unless a certificate was filed with him by the owner declaring tn- ablllty to pay. He also urged that the interest rate on such overdue taxes be reduced from the present seven per cent rate to five per cent.
 Let us have only fair liens inn posed and let us have only fair h. terest charged" said the commis- sioner He declared some persons had permitted their taxes to 20 un- paid simply because they had found they could Use tho money tu better advantage in their businesses.
 He cited one instance where nFn had permitted 59 liens 10 bc filed against his property and said in one city 4,6oo liens had been filed in n single year. ''Sec that the lien is fair and not put on by collector who is gracefully seeking reelection" said inc commissioner.
 The commissioner said he oh- lected to the "dehauching of grand lists" through false registration of automobiles but taid Connecticut was not likely to follow the example Of some states and give up the taxa

JUG0SLAV|A QUAKE
 TAKES 100 LIVES
Tremors Felt in 20 Places at
 the Same Time

Belgrade, Jugoslavia, Feb. 16 P Only the fact that the regions shaken by the earthquake in Jugo- slavia were sparsely settled pre- vented an extremely heavy death list in the series of tremors early Sunday morning. Late reports from the affected areas in Herzegovina, Bosnia, and Dalmatia, indicate that the loss of life will not exceed 100, contrary to first reports. The num- Der of houses that collapsed is esti- mated at 200.
 The government Is taking all possible measures for relief of the victims, but communications are still impracticable and only few doctors with emergency medical supplies have been able to get to the scene by airplane.
 All the tremors-19 or 20 of them came within an hour, just before dawn Sunday. but the damage will take weeks to repair. Railroad tracks were completely ripped up in many places, as well as telephone and telegraph lines, and this has prevented accurate details on which to base an estimate on the damage. The Dalmatian ports of Ragusa and spalato, suffered most together the hilly territory along the coast for many miles.
 A rupture in the bed of the Adriatic with consequent shifting under the surface of Herzegovina, is said by the Belgrade seismological station to have caused the shocks

FLAG POLE SITTING
 POPULAR PAST|ME
"ShipWreCk" Kelly Hears From Aspirants to Championship p
Newark, N. J., June IT CUP

Newark, N. J.. June IT JP)- Flagpole sitting suddenly bust into prominence as an international ln- dustry today. Three persons from two continents sent challenges to AL win "Shipwreck' Kelly, hitherto be- lieved to be virtually the only ex- perienced flagpole sitter in the world. It began to look as if the world had been full of f1agpole sitters for years, entirely unaware that honor, pub lcity, vaudeville contracts. or what ever it is that flagpole sitters sit for, awaited them.
 The three busy men-all of whom, curiously enough. were unnamed by the sponsors of Shipwreck kelly's 1agpole marathon-offered to con- pete in . flagpole sitting for world championship, or a bigger vaudeville contract. or something. like that
 One of the men. it seemed, was from Boston. A Boston theater own- CT submitted the challenge but fall- ed to name the contestant Another was a New Jersey youth who want ed to sit for the honor of the state. The third-take the word of Terry Turner. whose business is getting the names of Marcus Loew's theaters in the newspapers-is a Pole, who naturally has a certain racial advan- tage.
 The Pole, whose name has not yet come to light, asserted he had sat on some of the very best flagpoles of Paris and Warsaw, and offered to sit on any fagpole twice as long as. Kelly can and eat less besides.
 Meanwhile, Kelly sat serene on his 39-foot pole on the top of the St. Francis hotel. He had been there 1 days and respectfully contemplated the necessity of coming down among men again in two days more. He seemed undisturbed by the challenges of rivals.
