NEW BRITAIN HERALD WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER

A. Macdonald. seeking to compel West Haven to accept charges of $45.770.52 against future state aid in the construction of roads which is now standing against the plain- tiff community. was heard by Judge John Rufus Booth in superior court yesterday after having been pending more than two years.
 The action is the result of one of two disputes brought to the courts. arising from the division of the town of Orange into the two towns of West Haven and Orange. in 1921. The other. a disagreement over the boundary. was decided by Judge Alyyn L. Brown in October. 1924.
 At present there stands on the books of the highway department of the state a charge for the $46.770.52 against Orange, which bars that town from receiving funds for state aid roads until other communities have received the same amount from the state. It Is estimated that it will be six years before Orange receives state funds for highways if the charge remains.

TON 0F NARCOTICS
 FOUND IN JERSEY
Authorities Seize Greatest Con.
 traband Prize in History

New York, Dec. 19 R-One ton of narcotics. valued at $5,000,000. was in the hands of special treasury department agents today as the larg- est and latest prize along the trail of illicit drug trade picked up among the papers of the late Arnold Roth stein, slain gambler.
 The seizure was made last night at the pier of the French liner Rochambeau when the agents inter- cepted five packing cases consigned to Philadelphia.
 Connection between the consign- ment, which is regarded as the larg- est seizure ever made, and the Roth of Joseph Unger. who is under a smuggling charge growing out of developments in the Rothstein case.
 Agents Working
 Charles H. Futile, United States attorney, said agents working on the case here and in Philadelphia learn ed that the five packing cases were intended for ultimate delivery to a man named Klein. which is one of the aliases used by Unger. At the while en route to Chicago two trunks containing narcotics valued at $2.- o0o,000 were seized in New York.
 The federal grand jury investigat- ing the connection of Rothstein with an international narcotic smuggling syndicate will be given the facts in the latest seizure. said Mir. Futile.
 This seizure and the one made the other day shows the existence of a big international drug ring with headquarters in France or Switzer- land" the federal attorney said. We will endeavcr. through the grand jury, to establish the identity of the persons who manufacture and at- tempt to smuggle the drugs into the country. indict them and endeavor to secure their extradition and bring them to justice in this country or, if that is not possible. endeavor to bring them to justice abroad under the provisions of our treaty."
 Sent From France
 Mir. Futile said the five cases, which are four feet square and three feet high. were sent from somewhere in France and that the consignment papers were made out with fake names and blind addresses at both ends.
 Four of the cases were opened by federal agents and found to be filled with opium. cocaine and morphine.

More tenements stand idle in the city today than the personal tax enumerators have seen before in their experience. which covers a period of a quarter of 8 century, they said today.
 Registrars Thomas J. Smith and William J. Ziegler. directors of the canvass, do not regard this as an indication of a lessening in the popu- lation, but are rather inclined to re- gard it as an evidence that the city is overbuilt in certain types of tene- ment construction.
 This view is shared by Chairman Thomas Linder of the board of as- sessors and by other city officials, and basing their move on this rea- soning, they are contemplating a cut in the appraisal of frame multiple family construction.

One federal official is quoted as say ing that regular training schools were maintained after the stenog- raphers and office workers were hired and before they were permit ted to start as hostesses or were sent from Bedford House to other places in the United States.
