EIGHT THOUSAND FIVE
HUNDRED POLL TAXES
PAID in HIDALCO co.

County Attorney Bryce Ferguson.
which he requested in regard to
payment Of poll taxes by mail. The
$500 poll taxes are 5000 less than
the poll taxes paid IN January, 1880.
Poll taxes by mail are legal only
In event they accompany property
tax payment, and where the poll
tax of the property tax payer. CT
that OF his wife, i assessed together
with the property tax.
III poll taxes accompany property
Tax payment. the property tax payer
needs TO give only the information
necessary for filling out the poll
tax receipt. which need not be sworn
to or acknowledged before a notary
although the notary's seal Is neces-
Sary for the property tax.
Where a poll tax Is paid by agent,
the agent must appear in person
before the tax collector or deputy,
and swear to any part, or all, the
information necessary in making out
the receipt. The authorization need
only be signed by the tax payer,
and not acknowledged or sworn
to by a notary.
In giving the poll tax ruling. Fer
guson cited an instance where the
poll tax law, II interpreted literally,
is inconsistent. The section referred
to is Article 1865. which was amend
ed in the regular session Of the first
called session of the 41st legislature.
The law rules that unless a person
or agent make oath that the tax
payer is native born or Is a natural
lied citizen OF the United States.
the tax collector either writes or
stamps rOS the face OF his oil
tax receipt, Not entitled 10 Vote"
However. this appendix to the ar
ticle Is discretionary with the tax
collector. Ferguson says. The tax
collector accepts the poll tax, where
he knows or has good reason to be-
lieve the tax payer is a citizen, he
says.
1T Is not whether or not the per-
son swears 10 his citizenship, but
whether or not in fact he Is q citi-
zen." Ferguson stated in the ruling.
III taken literally. 1t would In eff
feet repeal the provision for pay
merit Of poll taxes through mail
with the property tax. which IS a
provision OF the same legislative act.
Ferguson said.

 Wiley Post, pilot, and Harold Cat ty, navigator, rested after a sound nights sleep, climbed into their speedy plane, waved goodby to Ed monton and nosed the machine into the wind which blew out of a rainy gray dawn.
 The f1iers said they expected to make one stop for refueling at Cleveland, O., and hurry on to New York. They hoped to reach Roose- welt Field, N. T., soon after dark this evening.

QUAKE WAS NOTICED IN
 THIS CITY
Several Waterbury People Felt the Trem0rs That Came Last Night-Many Other Cities Were Also Affected

Four prominent Waterburians this morning related their impressions of the pronounced earth tremor which struck northwest Connecticut short ly before II o'clock last night. The local quartet, Deputy Sheriff John Jenusaitis, Alderman John Bender, Edward Kazemekas, and Edward Danisavage, Brooklyn banker and business man respectively, were fish ing on Candlewood lake when they felt the tremor.
 "We were just pulling into the dock, when the boat started to rock and quiver to the accompaniment of a roaring noise," Sheriff Jenusaitis said. "At first, we thought it was huge Mack truck rushing down a hill, but others at the dock dispelled that thought stating the road was too far off. Then some one suggest ed it might be low rolling thunder, but the roar lasted too long. An other thought it might be reverbera- tions from distant blasting. Several jokingly suggested it might be an earthquake and we were nightly (Continued on Page 2.)

 The mayors reception committee, caught somewhat unaware by the breathless speed of the flight, was hastily forming a citizens committee of 100 to escort the flyers into the | metropolis after they set their cleaning white monoplane down at Roosevelt field.

Heat Does Not Diminish But

While the Sun Was Dimmed for a Time at Noon, the Degrees Were Higher on Thermometers - Two Deaths Recorded Here From Heat .
WELL KNOWN BANK
 WATCHMAN VICTIM

The mercury in the thermometer cavorted like a spirited colt in the past two days and did some pretty funny things such as jumping ten degrees in an hour and falling six or seven this noon when the sun was obscured for some time. The weather man, unrclenting as ever, promised "higher temperatures"
 To-day, at noon, a shaded record ing thermometer registered 94 de- grees and at 1 o'clock had fallen to 88 degrees. The low was struck at o'clock this morning when il showed the reading as 6S degrees At o'clock it was 76 degrees and from that time up until noon il climbed up to high point of 94 degrees.
 Yesterday at noon the ther- mometer showed reading of 9s degrees, so to-day's figures bested those of yesterdays.
 The wading pools were damned with hundreds of little tots, the swimming pools were as full as they have ever been, and every little lake and pond in the vicinity of Water
