Court Action To Follow Refusal,
 City Intirnates
Authorities Demand Settlement of Account By Those Able to Meet Indebtedness -Worlmen on Mu- nicipal Payrolls Ordered to Square Accounts at Once

which. incidentally Is a state sta ute and not a. local ordinance. those who fail to pay may be brought into the city court and there fined.
 If this procedure is followed the cost to the persons fined will be much in excess of the usual per- sonal tax bill. However, the city officials intend to proceed careful ly at the first, considering the times. It was emphatically pointed out today, though, that those per-. sons who are found in possession of steady jobs will be ordered to pay up Immediately or suffer the consequences.
 Personal tax collections this year were fairly good, considering the times, according to Collector Stokes, however, it was stated. there are many who are well able to pay who have not bothered to pay. the tax. Due to the fact that all bills now due are delinquent, the city will have to impose the extra $1 penalty. This money, though, does not go into the mu- nicipal treasury, but to the state.
 State Tax Commissioner William H. Blodgett of Hartford is watch ing the various cities and towns quite closely at the present time and is expecting the various com- munities to take steps at once to get in money due on personal tax bills.

An intensive drive to collect un- paid personal taxes due on this years books last March was launched today. The drive is the result of an exhaustive survey made by Personal Tax Collector George Stokes of the 1892 records, which has disclosed that there are many persons, working steadily. who have not settled up.
 Mayor Frank Hayes made it very plain today that any city em- ploye whose name appears on the list of delinquents will be served with 8 notice to settle up imme- diately. He explained that it is the duty of every one working for the municipality and liable for the personal tax to square up with the city as fitting. example to others.
 The drive will be made a per- sonal one, to begin with. Homes of delinquents will be visited and they will be asked to pay. Of course, failure to comply with the formal request, will leave the city no alternative but to resort to legal proceedings, it was pointed out.
 Under the personal tax law.

Order Release
 of Carl Gay
Support Needed at Home,
 Court Informed

Carl Gay, 27, who was convict ed in this city on March 23rd of operating motor vehicle while un- der the influence of liquor and giv- en mandatory jail sentence of six months will be released this even- ing from the county jail in New Haven. The youths sentence was suspended to-day when his case was re-opened at the request of the New Haven Council of Churches. The organization became interested in the young man as his support is needed at home. He received the severe sentence as it marked his second offense on the same charge.
 The mishap for which the young man was arrested was collision between his car and a machine driven by Patrolman Joseph Me- Carthy of the police motor patrol. Gay sped away after side-swiping the police machine in blinding snow storm. He was pursued and captured. He denied at the time that he had been drinking.

Thomas Smith, general council for General Motors, and William c. Dickernian, president of the Amer ican Locomotive company.
 All three stress the urgency of such a conference insisting. how ever, on the need for a discussion of all basic economic problems un- deriving the depression. In this respect, they are in substantial &C., cord with Otto H. Kahn, John Henry Hammond and Silas H. Strawn whose replies have already been made public. The entire group is apparently at variance with the attitude of the adminis- tration in Washington which has definitely barred discussion of tar ifs. debts and reparations from the proposed London barley.
 Further support to their point of view is given in the replies of three of Americas great econom- ists, Professor F. W. Taussig, Har- yard; Professor Ernest M. Patter- son, University of Pennsylvania and Professor James w. Angel, Columbia. The statements of these men will be published later.

DEPRESSION AND ]
 ECONOMIC ILLS
|z5,0O0 Housewives Re- ceived Cooking Instrnc-
 tiOn Since Last Fall
FROM CONN UTILITIES

New Haven, June 10-Depres- si0n and it's accompanying eco- homie ills in the household have resulted fin a largely increasing in- crest in the home service lectures and instructions conducted by the gas and electric companies in Con- necticut and 1t Is estimated by public utility officials that between 10000 and 25,000 took advantage of the gratis opportunity to learn economical kitchen management in this state since last fall.
 Not only have the housewives of Connecticut displayed greater in- terest than ever before in learn- ing the more methods of modern cookery. but their increased desire to furnish their families with pro- perly balanced menus, containing the various essential vitamins, min- erals and calorific values, has been plainly in evidence.
 Those who are employed by the utility companies to deliver the gratis lectures and to give tho demonstrations, all of whom keep he health viewpoint constantly in mind in preparing sample menus for the lecture and demonstration work. Thus, those who have at tended the classes have been able both to conduct the family budget on more economical basis and to provide diet which helps to pre- serve good health.
 Practically all of the nineteen public utilities engaged in the dis tribution of manufactured gas or electricity in Connecticut either maintain lecture halls equipped with up-to-date, gas or electric ap- pliances or else employ experts who go from home to home giving in- struction in gas appliance opera ton and cooking to those who de- sire 1t. Many companies do both. The field workers are able to give assistance not only with respect to economical kitchen operation, but also to examine the customers own appliances, to point out im- proper adjustments and in many cases to remedy them on the spot. Company customers are at liberty to call upon these experts for as- sistance at any time.
 All of the home service instruc- tion is not restricted to women. for not a few men avail themselves of the opportunity of learning new points in the fine are of the kit chen.
