Drive To Legalize Beer Would Bring To Treasury
 $500, ,OOO, ,OOO Each Year

Washington, Nov 11-(UP)- The democratic drive to legalize beer this winter was intensified to- day with the argument that such action might make a special ses- sion of congress in the spring un- necessary.
 Some democratic congressman advanced the view that legaliza- tion of beer at the regular ses- sion, in addition to quickly fulfill ing the party's campaign pledge, would bring in enough revenue to obviate large-scale tax read justments by a special session.
 Wet leaders estimated beer would bring the treasury up to $500, 100000 a year in new reve- nue. They contended this income, together with even moderate upturn in business which would increase the yield of present tax es. would balance the budget. Drys on the other hand estimated, the yield of a beer tax at as low as $50, 1000, 600.

'VIOLATORS OF PROHIBITION
 FILL PERSONS
Federal Prison Officials Say the Repeal or Modi- fication of Dry Law Would Help Them

Washington. Nov 11-(UP) - Federal prison officials believe re- peal or modification of prohibition would greatly relieve over-crowdcd conditions in federal penitentiaries.
 Prohibition violators in federal prisons number about 4,500, or 36 per cent O: the entire federal penal population. These prisoners anrlu- ally cost the government about $1,- S0,000 to keep.
 Prohibition laws have unqucs- tionably increased the number of federal prisoners and cost the tax payers additional money, Prison Director Sanford Bates said today. We have about twice as many prisoners at the Atlanta and Leav- enworth penitentiarics as the in- stitutions should normally serve. Prohibition has been responsible for great share of this overcrowding."
 The average federal prisoner costs the government about 80 cents day to keep, or approxim- ately $240 a year. Tn addition to this expense, oyer-crowding has forced the government greatly to expand its prison building pro- gram.

a. beer bill, it is deemed certain that Presidents Roosevelt will call the new, wet, and over whelmingly democratic congress into special session in the spring.
 He might call an carly special session anyway to deal with farm relief, tariff revision and other problems, although during the campaign he made no commit ment in this respect.
 It is reported that 17 southern senators who have hitherto voted against beer will vote favorably at the next opportunity.
 Senator William T.. Borah was not convinced that the heavy dem ocratic majority in the election was in any way indicative of q change in sentiment toward pro- hibition. F. Scott Mcbride, super intendent of the anti-saloon league, took the same view.
 Supporting his contention, Me- Bride pointed out that such lead-. CTS as Senator Bingham of Con- necticut went down to defeat along with republican drys.

 Wateryille property ow7ers IF the vicinity of the Thomaston ave- -nue and Homer street intersection are once more disturbed over the damage suffered during heavy rain storms when the storm water drains at that point have long prov. en woefully inadequate to meet the situation. The conditions on Thurs day were far worse than usual when the heavy rainfall forced the stream which flows along Homer street to overflow it's banks and to turn that thoroughfare into a roar ing brook. The result was a lake of sizeable proportions along Thomaston avenue with water from one to three feet deep. Trol- ley service was completely sus- pended for several hours and au- tomobiles experienced much diffi- culty. Many cellars in the neigh borhood were flooded and more than two feet of water was present in the Blue Bird Grill on Thomas ton avenue when chairs and tables were floating about.
 The guttcrs along Homer street were badly washed out and created dangerous traffic hazards. The rails and roadbed of the trolley com pany also suffered serious dam age at the foot of Cooke street and at the corner of Dwight street and Homer street.
 Hancock brook was also at flood stage and overfiowed It's banks in the WaterviIle Park area and on the flats near the point where it flows into the Naugatuck river. The river was higher than at any time in the past ten years and also overfiowed it's banks at several points, particularly along Browns meadows. Some damage was also done near the plants of the Chase Companies.
