the church. held at the home of Charles Rogers,
steps were taken to erect house of worship.
Two months after the first meeting three new
members were added by letter and cne by oap-
tism. the ordinance being performed by Rev
William Parkinson. then chaplain to Congress,
and on the same day the Lords supper was 1or
the first time celebrated.
June g. 1902, a committee consisting OF
Charles Polk, John Burchan and Joseph Bor-
rows was authorized to purchase let No. IL in
square 118, at the southwest corner of 1 and
Nineteenth streets, for the purposes OF Vne
church. which was incorporated under the name
of The Baptist Church OF Christ in Washing
ton City" The dimensions of the let were 81
feet on Nineteenth street and IS feet on I
street, for which the little flock paid S225 and
upon which a house of worship was erected
Mr. Parkinson preached the dedicatory sermon
and continued to supply the church without
salary until 1904 when he declined reappoint-
ment as chaplain of the House OF Representa-
tives and probably left the city.
Washington was then in its swaddling clothes
and capable Baptist preachers were not to be
easily found. For this reason the church con-
tinued five years without pastor. Finally.
however on January co. 1907, at the request OF
q committee appointed IOr the puIpOSe, 1SeF'
Obadiah Bruen Brown of Newark, N j., was
extended an invitation to visit and spend
season with the church. which. it was hoped,
would result in permanent call He came, as
requested, arriving here on February 21 1907.
and so satisfied was the congregation that he
soon received a unanimous invitation to re-
main indefinitely, and remained as pastor of
the church until 1850, when he resigned.
DARSON BROWN, as he was lovingly called,
I was one of the bright lights among The
early Washington clergymen. He was a hard
worker for the church and his efforts were
crowned with success. Up to the time he came
to this city but "a members had been added to
the original number composing the congrega-
ton; as a result Of deaths and removals, how
ever, the actual number he found the roll
at the time Of his ordination was %, which was
soon greatly increased
This kindly preacher who seems to have
had the love Of every one, was born in Newark,
N. j., in 1779 and died in May. 1852, and his
funeral was preached by Rev. Edward Kings
ford. Mrs. Elizabeth Brown, wife, died the
same year. At first they were buried in Con-
gressional Cemetery, but their bodies we're later
transferred to Oak Hill, overlooking picturesque
Rock Creek. He left ISSUE but as to his
descendants the writer knows little.
Besides his love for the church, Parson
Brown was also deeply interested in education

was the securing of clerkship in Govern

Building permits issued by towns and cities in Connecticut took a dis tinct decline as the year closed, December showing the lowest to- tai permit valuation since last Jan- uary 1, 1t Is reflected in the month ly building survey taken by the freight traffic department of the New Haven railroad among 23 communities along its lines.
 AS compared with the total val uation of the permits issued by those communities during Novem- Der. the December permits were less by more than one hundred thousand dollars. Only nine of the twenty-three cities and towns cov- cred enjoyed increases over their November permit totals during the final month of the year. These were Hamden, Middletown, Nauga- tuck, New Britain, New London, Stamford, Torrington, Walling- ford and West Haven. Hamden with permits valued at $280,435 headed the December list with New Haven and West Hartford in second and third places respective y.
 Contrasted with the permits is- sued in December of 1880, the 18th month of 1891 showed 6 loss among the twenty-three communi- ties of more than six million dol- lars, most of which Is accounted for by the fact that Yale untver- sity took out permits amounting to $4,90O, 900 In New Haven in De- cember, 1881.

Connecticut motor vehicles con- sumed sufficient gas during 1881 to have taken every one of them on a round trip to San Francisco, Robbins B. Stoeckel, commission CT of motor vehicles, said to-day.
 He revealed that in a total gaso- line consumption of 235,000,000 gallons there was an increase over the 1880 figure of 11,750,000 gal. Ions.
 The state tax upon gasoline, which as a state revenue is used for the improvement of highways. reached a total in receipts of $4,- 100000 last year, an increase over 1930 of $235,S00. Commissioner Stoeckel stated.
 Estimating that each motor vehicle travels approximately ten miles for each gallon of gasoline burned. Connecticut-registered cars aggregated a total mileage of D. 50,000,000 last year. This would be an average trip total per car of $500 miles, or about the mileage car would have recorded in a trip to the west coast and return.
 The consumption of gasoline is increasing in Connecticut on a steadily ascending scale. Whereas in the summer of 1925 the highest months total was 13,273,000 gall

ON SCOVILL STREET

Several hundred business men and employers obliged by law to file annual information returns with the United States government for the determination of income taxes have yet to obtain the proper forms at the local office of the in- ternal revenue collector. Notwith- standing repeated warnings of the nearness of the day on which the time limit expires surprisingly large number of persons held re- sponsible by the classificatiors have yet to make inquiries con. corning the forms. February 15 Is the date on which all sources of income blanks must be filed at the internal revenue office in Wash ington, D. c. Individual tax re- turns will be made as usual on or before March 18th.
 Every business concern, except those specifically exempt from i'll: ing reports, must account for divi- dends, wages, interest, royalties, salaries, fees, commissions or bonuses paid to individuals or part ners of $500 or more.
 The official form, 1899, is ob- tainable at the office of the inter- nal revenue collector in the post. office building on Scovill street. It contains instructions as to what IS expected and specifies who is re- sponsible for all necessary informa- ton. These forms are eventually checked in the Hartford and Wa. terbury offices with the individual renorts

State Gasoline
 Consumption Jumps
Il,75OOOO More Gallons Consumed Year Ago Than
 in I930

Ions. in August of 1891 the total reported was 24,623,000 gallons and there is now strong basis for the prediction that the year 1892 VIII see an aggregate more than double the annual distribution of that tin 1925. sa
 In the year 1890 in each month there was an increase over the corresponding month of 1929, but in the past year less gasoline was used in February and March than in those months in 1890. The con- sumption records for the other 10 months, however, showed greet gains and thus raised the years record to an average increase or nearly one million gallons per month.
 Six years ago there were five or the 12 months when gasoline use fell below the 10,000,000 mark. Tn the past year the lowest months total was in February when the consumption was nearly 12,SO0,OOO.
 The consumption of gasoline in the United. States for the year Of 193O reached the huge total or gallons.
