Mayor to Back Bills.

Hartford, Jan 27-Two bills were anticipated here today with lively interest among representatives and senators. Both will be championcd by Mayor Frank Hayes of Water- bury, seeking revision of the char ter permitting the mayor of that city to appoint a city controller and tax collector. Both offices at pre- sent are elective. The proposal to have the mayor name the city con- troller has been discussed to some extent in Waterbury. Today. how ever, it was announced that the mayor of the Brass City would ask authority for making the tax collec- tor an oppointive one.
 Mayor Hayes was reported today as being prepared to present a bill seeking a $1,000,000 funding meas ure. The charter commission ad- vocates $2,000,00O, but Waterburys chief executive believes one-half of that amount would be sufficient.

|, federal aid projects because of need for state expenditures in other di- rections.
 Concerning the increase in town payments for state aid construction, the commissioner states: 'The in- crease is due entirely to the re- gently adopted policy in Connecticut with construction in anticipation of state aid. Under the new policy all payments for construction are made by the department, through the state treasury, from funds advanced by the towns, when agreements to con- are executed. Prior to June l, 1929, the greater part of the cost of all construction in anticipation of state aid was paid directly by the towns, on certification by the highway de- partment. Under the new policy, contractors deal solely with the de- pertinent, no questions as to the availability of funds arise, and the accounting and control problems are simplified."
 The schedule showing the general finances of the department for the fiscal year are followed by numerous other accounts showing the receipts and expenditures for each general item in extensive detail and the allo- cation of these items by department divisions and by towns. Each indi- vidual item involved in maintenance or operation is likewise broken down into its most minute detail, affording a complete picture of the years operations and financing.
 To the report itself are appended several exhibits which afford addi- tional information concerning the department and the highway system. Of interest among the facts recorded in the appendix is that in its thirty five years of existence the Connecti- cut highway department has expend- ed for road improvement $141,635.- TIC. This has given the state at the present time a network of 2,1S5.56 miles of improved highway. upon which the surfaces are listed as fol- lows:

 There are times when a hand con- tains too many trump. When these bothersome trump can be literally discarded on high cards in dummy, tEis play is known as the grand coup. When one trump is discard ed. it is the single grand coup. This play was shown to you in our previ- GUS article. In to-day's hand the de- clarer must discard two trump and ble grand coup.
 The Bidding
 The hand was played at contract and South, the dealer, started the bidding withone heart, West passed and North, using the one over one, bid one spade. This bid makes no promise for game, but requires South to keep the bidding open. East bid two clubs, South showed his diamond suit by bidding two diamonds. West passed and North bid three spades. South carried the bidding to four spades which closed the contracting.
 The Play
 East's proper opening is the king of clubs, followed by the queen and then the ace. When all players fol- lowed to the three club leads by East, East should not continue with the seven of clubs as this would get the declarer a ruff in one hand and a stuff in the other. East shifted to Ia diamond, leading the three spot, his fourth best, through the dum- my's strength. Dummy played small and declarer won the trick with the jack. Declarer led small spade to the dummy's king and returned the three spot from dummy, finessing the ten spot which held the trick.

The declarer realizes that he can- not pick up the queen of spades in the West hand unless he gets rid of two extra spades in his hand. He therefore decides to try for @ grand coup. He leads the king of dia- monds, overtaking in dummy with the ace. The queen of diamonds Is returned from dummy. dec1arer liter ally discarding the seven of trump. He then leads the jack of hearts. If East covers with the king, he will take 1t with the ace in dummy. If East plays small, which he did in this case in an endeavor to prevent the coup, the queen was played from dummy which held the trick.
 The ten of diamonds Is returned from dummy, West must not trump, but should discard the five of hearts. Declarer now gets rid of the other excess trump--the eight of spades. This throws the lead into the de- clarer's hand and he leads the eight of hearts winning in the dummy with the ace. A small heart Is re- turned rom dummy and West Is forced to trump with the nine or queen of spades. In either case the the other one.
 By getting rid of two excess trump in order to bring himself down to the same number of trumy as held by hfs opponent, the deciarer execut- ed the play known as the double grand coup and made his contract of four spades.
