 Beer Supply
All Kinds of Brands Are FOisted on the Market Here - As Yet There Has Been No Real Beer War, But It May Come
TOO EARLY YET
 TO GET COMPLAINTS

Although Waterbury is being practically showered with every brand of beer on the market there appears no liklihood of a "beer war" at the present writing. Other cities such as Chicago are in the midst of price war with the pop ular fluid being sold as low as three cents a bottle.
 Since Governor Cross issued his long awaited proclamation which made the sale of beer legal in this state on Wednesday, the city .has been swamped with all grades and makes of ale and lager but the price for each has been maintained at an average rate. The beer on tap cells for 10 cents a glass while the bottled stuff sells for between 10 and 25 cents per bottle.
 Those who are distributing the ale and lager in the city are on amicable terms and while no agreement has been reached be- tween them, it is considered an understood fact that the above prices will prevail for the time being.
 Waterbury welcomed the come back of the long absent ale with open arms and those fortunate enough to have received early It. censes reported a great business.

His Appointment to State Tax Commissioner May Come From Gov as Re- cess Nomination

Senator William Hackett of New Haven may yet achieve his goal-his appointment by Gover- nor Wilbur L. Cross as tax com- missioner of the state of Connecti- cut. However, it is highly possible that his term will be for only about a year and a half instead of for the customary four years. His appointment is possible under re- cess action by the governor if the republican side of the senate re- fuses to let him go through for the full term, it has been decided.
 Under the law Governor Cross has the power of nominating the tax commissioner but the appoint ment must be ratified by the sen- ate. Under the rules Senator Hack cit could not vote for himself SO
