Case of Income Tax
Law ViOlatOr

Paris. Dec. I LIp-France today
officially refused the request Of the
United States for extradition of H.
NJ. Blackner missing oil case wit

ment returned in Denver which ac-
cused Mr.. Bleckmer of making false

ton Of income tax is not a crime in

BILE by fine. (2)-That the Franco
American treaty covers only perjury
in court and (3)--That a false dec
laration being only a misdemeanor
in France. is outlawed by q three
years statute of Limitation.
The courts decision is final and
will be officially transmitted to the
American embassy through the
French ministry of foreign affairs

France indefinitely unlecs the United

Farm Relief Proposals
For farm relief, Mr.. Coolidge re-

in promoting orderly marketing and
in handling surpluses clearly due to
weather and seasonal conditions. He
suggested revolving fund from
government money, until producers
associations had erected stabilizing
organizations to finance themselves
through regular credit institutions.
Temporary expediences. he said,
though sometimes capable OF ap-

cannot permanently solve the sur

Establishment Of II voting pre-.

The registrars propose that all but
the second and fourth wards be spill
up. the first, third and fifth ward,
each having two polling places, and
the sixth three voting booths. Thi!
they proposed to bring abou1
through charter amendment.
In the opinion OF the registrars

is no longer practical to attempt

manner now in vogue.
Their recommendation is along tht
line proposed by Stanley Uchalik. 6
member of the mayors committee or
charter revision.
Registrars Letter
The letter to Mayor Paonessa fol
lows:
AT several recent elections it ha!
been forcibly brought to our atten'
ton that there Is an urgent neei
for a further extension OF our vot
ing facilities. Since the establish
ment of the six ward system ir
New Britain in the SOS, our ward:
have increased in size until toda,
we have several of them which are
larger than our total voting list a
that time. The modern trend IL
elections is to make voting as eas!
as possible and experience ha:
shown US that as we are situated
today. It is impossible for the off
cials to handle the peak crowds OF
election day without causing tn:
voters considerable inconvenience.
I'VE have endeavored TO facilitate
matters by hiring extra officials ir
the wards. but have been forced Il
the conclusion that this Is not tn;
ideal arrangement. 1t is true tina
in the recent presidential election
a record vote was handled in th,;
manner, but anyone who visited tn;
larger ward voting places during
election day will agree with us tina
it is not proper TO have the Ion:
line Of voters waiting their tur..
which We had on that day.
''In order to overcome the diff
culties which we are laboring under
we believe that it will be necessar,
to put into effect the precinct form
OF voting, and would therefore sug
gest that the six wards be divided a.
follows:
First ward, 1908 voters. two pre-.
cincts: second ward. 2738 voters
one precinct; third ward. 1858 vot,
crs. two precincts: fourth ward
e34s voters, one precinct; fifth ward
1892 voters. two precincts: sixth
ward, 1856 voters, three precincts.
''lf you feel, with us, that the tim'
has arrived for making these i'm
provements, we would ask that yo,
make the necessary representation
to have the city charter changed"
