claim that he was far from being
member of this privileged
class" but the same associates find
it difficult to venture an estimate
or his material wealth before or
during the depression. Did Mr.
Gorse hold many worthwhile secur.
tiles? Was he hard hit by the de-
cline in the market? Only the
report Of the administrator and
the appraisers will answer these

Mr. Gorse was a weather. man

Several large bank accounts are
expected to be found credited to
his name.
Mr. Gorse was an employe of the

for 81 years. He was q cousin of
the late Chauncey Porter Goss,
who was treasurer of the company
when Mr. Gorse came to Water

No Bus Taxes
Collected Here
CONTINUED from Page -

Corbett, former United states COM
missioner, was made public to-day
and was accepted as a rule by the
local officials.
Corporation Counsel Corbett
stated in his ruling that motor bus
companies are not subject to local
property taxation and rendered his
opinion, governing every commu-
nifty in the state, following an In
tensive study of the situation.
In the last session of the legisla-
ture a bill was sponsored to have
the bus companies pay tax to the
state, part of which would revert
to the communities, SO that the
wear and tear on the highways.
such as in waterbury, would be
paid for by the bus companies.
This bill did not SO through.
Therefore, it is felt that this lat
est move to tax the buses was an
effort to aid the cities and towns
In compensating themselves
through taxation for the extra ex-
pense for local highway upkeep in
the respective communities. How
ever 1t Is felt here that the ruling of
Corporation Counsel Corbett Of
Hartford is a sound one and that
any legislation to relieve the cities
of the upkeep of the highways and
to enable them to tax the buses
used in passenger transportation
will have to be provided for in q
bill to be presented at the January
session of the legislature.

now worth only 10 per cent of
what they were when bought by
the United States investors.
At first the president denied
there was depression and then
finally admitted it, adding, though,
that 1t was worldwide condition.
