TAX PROBLEM
Warning Issued By State
Chamber of Commerce
and Com. BlOdgett
GIVES TIMELY ADVICE

Hartford. Feb 22--At a recent
meeting of the Municipal Finance
committee OF the Connecticut
Chamber OF Commerce, earnest
confederation was given to the sub
ject Of municipal borrowings In an
ticipation Of taxes.
It is in the mind Of every MEM
Der OF this committee to solicit the
best banking thought available
and. as we'll, the opinion Of those
directly connected with state, city,
and town affairs.
The tax commissioner is extend
ing his encouragement and will
lend his practical assistance to find
solution Of this oppressive prob
lem. Statisticians Of the state tax
department indicate and believe
that borrowings this year are
greater than ever before, with re-
sulting increasing and ever grow
| Ing interests costs. The total Dor
|rowings In anticipation of taxes
by municipalities in Connecticut. It
Is believed, will exceed $40,ooo.ooo
this year.
West Hartford, chairman Of this
committee, has associated with
him, Roger 8. Baldwin of Green
witch, Charles r. Treadway OF
Bristol, Christopher M. Gallup OF
North Stonington, and Charles +.
Coates Of West Hartford, all OF
whom give 1t as their belief that
not only must this practice be
abandoned, but that practical pro-
cedures to obviate this growing
and disastrous burden can be
evolved. It 10 agreed that the
plight Of the municipalities Of the
state at this time Is such that gen.
eral and widespread support for
the work OF this committee may be
Forthcoming.

RATING PRACTICE
ON INSURANCE
Commissioner D u n h q m
States the Business Is
Contrary TO Law
GIVES LEGAL OPINION

Rating practices Of some insur-
ance companies under which per-
sons Identified with certain large
corporations afs offered preferential
rates for automobile insurance on
their personal cars were con.
demned today by Insurance Com
missioner Howard p. Durham OF
Connecticut, who declared such
practices to be in violation Of the
anti-rebating and anti-discrimina-
ton laws Of the state.
The commissioners ruling was
particularly directed at certain
companies promulgating rating
plans under which applicants for
insurance are classified In accord
anoo with their occupations or
given q special advantage in the
matter Of rates because of their
Identification with corporations
having large groups Of employees.
Commissioners Dunham's- ruling.
based on an opinion from the at
torrey generals once, follows:
1.-THE exposure to risks and the
uses made Of the cars by such ap-
plieaptS for Insurance appear 70
differ in no way from those OF the
general run Of people who use their
cars lot DuBkNS00 anu ptouout0 Put
poses. The application OF such rat
ing plans operates to give to some
individuals an advantage IN rate
without o corresponding decrease
in hazard, merely because they are
identified with certain occupations
or large groups. and operates un-
fairly against tho members Of the
public who do not have the ad-
vantage OF such. affiliations or &C.
cupations. Because such methods
Of classification and rating are
arbitrary and result in inequality OF
benefits and burdens between MEM
bers Of the insuring public sub
ject TO essentially the same hazards.
they are in violation Of the anti-re-
batting and anti determination laws.
Tho commissioner Of Connecticut
intends to see that they are dis
continued in order that all the citi-
zsns Of Connecticut may be treated
eduitably and fairly a. to the rates
charged them for the various
forms Of automobile insurance pro-
lection which they require"

Now listen"
"As the days pass. the per-
sonality Of John Sherwood
seems to grow more clear and
he seems more present than
evenN in the days before he
went from US In his Great Ad-
venture Often I see his sturdy
figure, his quiet smile, and
hear his pleasant voice. a voice
at once clear but not loud. mild
but firm, always friendly; and
every once in a while there
comes out of the distance that
expression he SO frequently
used, Now, listen!'
Don't you recall how keen
ly he could argue? But never
did his voice rise In vexation
or impotence. no matter how
diverse his Views from those
Of his opponent, always he
made his point clear by virtue
of his unfailing memory which
recalled the exact facts, his
analytical mind which mar
shaled those facts In their
proper order and drew the
reasonable deduction, and as
he stated his conclusion he
would repeat again the ap-
pealing edmonton - Now,
.iisten!'
Gould we do better for our
selves or more honor his men,
DRY than to remember and
initiate him in the use of this
phrase? When another seems
dull, or prejudiced. or obsti-
nate, why not say to him, as
Johnnie would have said so
gently, appealingly. Now, lis
ten? And II vexed and we'll
nigh hopeless over what seems
to us the seemingly senseless-
position taken by another,
why not check ourselves. think
how prone to error we our
selves are, how frequently

earnestly than to others--
Now, listen?'
