BRITISH SHARES
 DROP IN PRICES
Budget Figures Cause Slight
 Market Depression Today

London, April Achievement securities declined quarter to one per cent in a general depression of gilt edged securities on the market this morning. The depression was ascribed by brokers to increased tax ation by Chancellor Snowden in his budget message to the commons yes terday.
 Stock exchange members, while eXtolling the debt redemption pro- posal in the budget expressed fear that the increase in the standard rate of income tax will affect the investment business.
 Brewery shares, which might be affected as a result of the increased tax on beer, held steady, since it had been expected the tax would be higher. Tobacco shares strengthened considerably on the basis of having escaped any further taxation. Reten- tion of the silk duties led artificial silk shares to appreciate some.
 Lack of change in the Mckenna duties had a good effect on various motor shares.

SAN MARIN0 HOLDS
 USUAL ELECTIONS
Tiny Republic Jealously Guards
 Its Independence

San Marine, April IS RtThe smallest republic in the world, San Marine, has just held it's election with the traditional ceremonies of it's ten centuries of freedom.
 For the next six months Commen- datore Manlio Gozi and Commenda- tore Marine Lonfernini will guide the destinies of the tiny state under the title of aptains-regent. They were elected in the public palace in the presence of the regency, or council, and then escorted to the Basilica Del Santo, to receive the blessing of the church.
 And thus the republic of San Marine goes on every six months perpetuating it's rights. Completely surrounded by Italian territory, the San Marinese have stubbornly clung to their political liberties. While Italian cities around them have given up their right to elect their own mayors and are governed by podesta appointed by the central government, San Marine twice year elects it's own governors. Chosen From Council The San Marinese select their two captains-regent from the sixty eld- CTS of the great council. This is composed of nobles, landowners and burghers or ordinary citizens ;n equal proportion. The captains-re- gent are assisted n governing by a small council of twelve members selected from the great council. The small council acts also as supreme court
 Italy has been careful not to in fringe on the liberties of the 3S- square mile republic. Since the kingdom of Italy, in 1862, shortly after it's own foundation, guaran- teed the independence of the repub- lie by the act of March 22, each Italian government has been as tact the diminutive republic as if it had a powerful country like France or Germany within Its borders.
 When the World War began San Marine declared it's neutrality, and maintained it all the time Italy was at war with Austria and Germany. Like the republic of Switzerland it was entirely surrounded by the brunt of war but was itself un- touched. The republic maintains it's own little army for police pur- poses.
 San Marine is somewhat out of tho way for American tourists, with the result that nine-tenths of Amer jeans visiting Italy fail to see it. II is perched on seven hills or noun. tains. The town of San Marine whose population approaches 2,0Ot the population of the republic is about 15,000-is perched on the higest, Mt. Titano, 2,437 feet high with precipitous sides.
 The freedom of San Marine arises from the action of the abbots of the monastery around which the town started. In the tenth century they formed free commune. The Popt recognized the independence of the republic in 1291. Many attempts or it's freedom were made in the mid dle ages by the lords of neighborina Urbino, Monefeltro and Rimini. The last attempt was as recent as 1855 But the little republic survived all these trials.

 Services for Two Years

Chief William J. Noble and the entire personnel of the fire depart 7, ment, Mayor A. M. Paonessa, the common council, other municipal de- partments and the public in general were extended the appreciation of the board of fire commissioners in a letter sent to Chief Noble last night. |
 It is generally expected that last nights meeting was the last the board will hold as a unit since the administration of which the board | was a part came to an end at noon today.
 As far as is known this is the first time a retiring board has writ ten a letter of this type. It was signed by the four members. Chair man James J. Butler and Commits sioners Harry A. Beckwith, Charles F. Dchm and Angelo Tomasso. The letter follows: "William J. Noble, Chief, ''New Britain Fire Department.
 ''Dear Sir:-The board of fire commissioners, upon completion of two years in the service of the city. takes this occasion to extend to you, and through you to the entire per sonnel of the fire department, it's appreciation for the courtesy and CO., operation which has been shown the commissioners since they took of flee, in April, 1928.
 'The fire department has been managed, we believe, as well as it is humanly possible for any branch of the city government to be conducted. During this period of successful existence, it has been the pleasure of the four members of tho board to play a part, but we realize that with out cooperative, efficient and con- scientious department our admins tration would have been doomed to failure.
 "As chief of the department, you have played a very important part in directing the battle against fire loss. You have been signally suc- ccssful and the City of New Britain should feel debt of gratitude 10 you. We wish you many years of continued success in this important branch of the municipal service.

Camp Hospital and Store
 Established to Look
 After Needs of Workers
 Families. .-

Belem, Para, April 15 (R - Wa schiro Fukuhara, organizer and manager of Ccmpanhia Nipponisa c Plantacoes do Brasil, has a vision that of great colony of Japanese in this state growing cotton, cocoa rice and other products on farms of 60 acres each.
 One hundred and fifty families are being brought yearly from the crowded islands of Nippon to the virgin forests of this state and started on an independent life. Fu- kuhara in November, 1928, secured a concessions here of 2,5OO,OO0 acres in five different parcels.
 One is of slightly more than l. 100000 acres, another 100000, and three smaller tracts are of 25,00O acres each. Only the first two have been definitely located; the others are to be located within two years on unoccupied lands in the regions specified in the concession, which, in general terms, is similar to that granted Henry Ford for his rubber plantation.
 The company is using local labor as well as Japanese in the dcvel- opment of it's property, and three Brazilians, an engineer, a banker and an attorney, have financial in- terests in the company. The first Japanese were brought from large colony in the state of Sac Paulo but now they are coming regularly from Japan by direct steamer via South Africa.
 Opens Hospital
 At Acara, where the first devel- opment is going on, there is an ex- perimental farm and here the new settlers buy their land, paying d percentage down and the remainder over a period of years. Cotton is envisaged as the principal crop al Monte Alegre, while at Acara rice tobacco and cocoa are the principal crops The first step taken ct Acara was the establishment of a camI hospital with four physicians or duty.
 The center of the Japanese com pany's activities is at Thomeassu twelve hours by launch south O. this city on the Acara river. IT. this. point the river is nayigable fol vessels up to 200 tons. The centel of activity is the company store where merchandise is sold only tt employees at prices lower than tho usual run, this acting as an induce ment in securing Brazilian labor.
 At the hospital two physicians arc on duty and four Japanese nurses Medical treatment is given to al who apply, whether employees of tn, company or not Houses for thu colonists are about five miles iron the river, away from the malaria section, and half hundred hay, been built, each accommodating on, family. Nearly 30 miles of roa have been built, Is feet wide, an; seven bridges.
 Fukuhara believes that cocoa i the most promising crop and hope that 3,000,000 trees will be plantet within two years which will bear two years later, total of moro tha, 1000 tons. Silk worms, already al important industry in Sac Paulc will be another activity of the Jap anese, as well as the production Q two kinds of Brazil nuts.
 The company plans to marke the crops of it's colonists, retainin; 30 per cent as it's commission.
