well-known American once called
tnnocuous disquietude.
Discussing Seizures
It happened like this. The con-
ference was discussing what to
do with narcotics seized in the
underground traffic.
Some of the delegates wanted
to burn these drugs or throw
them into the sea. Some wanted
the government to keep them
and make them over for the
regular trade, thus reducing the
quantity of raw material needed
for the factories. The situation
had been turned inside out over
and over again and the confer
ence was eager for a vote to
settle the business. Delevingne
didn't want the vote.
Vote Passed Up
He rose from his seat white
with anger and said in his in
sistent falsetto that he would
never consent to any agreement
to destroy underground seizures
The conference decided not to
vote after all-not just yet. Not
until the delegates have time to
listen to reason.

of evidence to warrant his arrest and detention.
 The accident occurred about midnight. A sedan operated by Rudolph Folgman of 149 Cooke street and containing w. c. Bray of 302 Dwight street, George A. Wildman of 1471 North avenue. Bridgeport, and c. H. Kelsey of 167 Plank road was involved in the mishap. It is apparent that the truck driven by Shea but reg istered in the name of Edward Dolan of Morris Park collided with a boulder on the right side of the highway. It then swung sharply and crashed into the left rear wheel of the passing sedan. When the occupants of the latter ma- chine hurried to investigate they found only Shea in the vicinity of the wrecked truck. He insisted that he was not the driver and maintained that he had been given ride by the driver, who had strangely disappeared from the scene. Patrolman George McElli- gott of the police motor patrol and later Sergeant Hillborg and Super numerary Patrolman Thomas Hur- ley confirmed the suspicion of the complaints that Shea was under the influence of liquor.
 The truck was so badly damaged that it blocked traffic for more than an hour.

DIRECTORS MET
 LAST NIGHT
YMCA Planning to Be 90
 Per Cent Self Support- ing During Depression
ALL EXPENSES REDUCED

Reports at the first fall meeting of the board of directors of the Y. M. c. A. last night, showed the Central Y. M. c. A. to be 90 per cent self-supporting in the midst of the depression. This figure is the more remarkable when compared with the state average of 66 per cent self-supporting for one cen- tral building. Reports showed that Waterbury is the only city in the state having the branches like Brooklyn and North End, which are only 40 per cent self-support- ing. Waterbury Central Y. NJ. C. A. runs so strong however, that the three Waterbury buildings are S2 per cent self-supporting, which is stil high over the 66 per cent aver age for the state.
 Plans were outlined last night for enlarging and extending the &C., tivities in all departments of, the Y. M. c. A. All expenses have been cut to the bone and large savings have been effected, including an S8,000 salary savings. The Y. M. c. A. is continuing its full staff of sec- retaries, because the board feels that the work of the Y. M. c. A. is more important now than ever before. All secretaries are carry ing extra work and working long, CT hours in the plans for the busy program outlined.
 President Levi Wilcox presided. Vice President Julius B. Smith gave the report of the executive com- mittee and Treasurer c. Dana Tyack the financial report. Gen. eral Secretary Herbert S. Smith re- ported on the worlds conference at Toronto, the theme of which was Youths Adventure With God" One thousand five hundred men and older boys were present from 47 different nations. They discussed the problems of the youth of the world in the light of the teach ings of Jesus.
 Secretary Smith stated that all the differences of color and race and language and customs faded out as the delegates from the 47 nations realized their common allegiance to the one God and Father, and Leader, Jesus Christ.

Consider Small
 Property Owners
Average Citizen Believes Improvements Should Wait
 Low Tax Rate Essential

The city officials will soon have another job on their hands in- stead of making campaign speech. es. The budget will have to be taken up and the rate of taxation for next year fixed. There is a demand for a reduction in the size of the rate bills and those who feel the need of this are also mak- ing urgent appeals for improve ments, which cannot be made un- less there is money available, so that no matter what may be done with reference to the budget there will not be general satisfaction.
 The fixed charges, which include the payrolls. interest and re- demption of bonds and other things make up quite high levy without appropriating a dollar for new work. Just what way the officials will look at this matter when they get to 1t nobody knows at this time. There are those who say that owing to the depression it would be the part of wisdom to make the rate as low as possible for next year, but if that is done and people who want improve ments and are willing to pay for them have to wait they will make a lot of noise. Well, 1t looks as though this is a time when the officials will have to make up their minds to take a lot of criticism If they mean to save thousands from losing their homes. Many are now behind with taxes and interest and cannot see where the money is coming from to satisfy these obli- gations, so that one does not have to be a great thinker or realize that if another heavy burden is placed upon them they are bound to go to the wall.
 N o W it h S tanding this the present administration is being slammed" for not putting into effect the new survey on land values. which everybody knows is only another way of adding to the rate bills. One wonders if those who are making these statapna apts

The authorities of Prospect are to file a demand for the return to Connecticut of Norman Bunnell. 21, of this city, who was arrested in Buffalo, N. Y. last Thursday and is expected to be surrendered to the Springfield, Mass, police for trial on the charge of stealing an automobile. Bunneli's companion, Steven Wabuda of 184 Division street. is also under arrest in Buf- falo and if the claim of the Pros pect police is recognized he will be returned to this city. Bunnell is under bonds of $500 posted when taken into custody several weeks ago by Constable Philip Wallace. His case has since been continued. Bdnnell's experience in Buffalo has complicated matters.

are working to keep the present ad- ministration in power or drive it out. She average citizen is not so much concerned about who is at the helm as he is in what kind of govern ment the city gets. Just, now, anyway, there is no disposition on the part of any great number of citizens to see values advanced and rates increased. Even in good times, nobody wants to pay more taxes than he believes necessary for the proper regulation of the community, but in a period such as people are now passing through the question uppermost in the minds of thoughtful citizens is how can they manage to reduce taxes and yet not neglect any interests. It may be well enough to push up values when this panic is over, but surely this Is not the time to take such step.
 When, the budget is being made out this year, demands for such things as can wait should be pushed aside and in this way give citizens who are now almost down and out chance to get back on their feet.

ton it is given consideration only in the order that its program calls. For instance. the department has a schedule of 400 new buildings to erect, a tremendous Job that calls for much time," said Postmaster A. N Colgrove.
 Many people have been com menting on the fact that the post office building is vacant and no steps have been taken to tear it down in preparation for a new one.
 The completion of the Hartford building will take about 500 calen- dar days, about year and a half. No estimates of the time it will take to build Waterbury's postof- flee could be ascertained. H
