1, in the fuel bill by reason of boost in the initial price, and sec ond, an increase of $146,250, ,000 due to purchase of more fuel to offset the lesser operating efficien- cy of the blend, or a total of $609,- 9O0,000.
 The summary of the A. A. A. re- port continues:
 "The $500, 100000 added to the
 country's motor fuel bill would be equivalent to an additional tax on
 motor vehicle owners, and if dis tributed equally among the own CTS of the 24,136,S79 registered 1 motor vehicles, would be equiva- lent to an average annual tax per vehicle of $25.26.
 "This new tax, added to the av- craze tax per vehicle of $45.2S in 1892, would mean that the aver age annual tax per vehicle would be raised to $70.54, or an increase of 55.8 per cent.
 '"The additional cost of alcohol gasoline blends are exclusive of ad-
 ditional distribution and supervis-
 ion costs which would be involved.
 Added operating costs are to be
 expected as the result of the dele l LSTlOuS CllcCI Ol fuel on various parts of the system ofthe motor vehicle. While a ten per cent alcohol blended fuel has anti-knock quali- ties superior to that of ordinary gasoline, these qualities are mater ially short of the anti-knock value o four so-called treated and pre-
 mium brands of fuel and would, therefore, not supplant those now on the market.
 "For every twenty-five cents per
 bushel increase in the cost of corn, the motor vehicle owner would be required to pay .an additional
 amount of $154, 100000 per year for fuel, or more than s6 per reg
 istered motor vehicle.
 "The readiness with which alco-
 hol absorbs moisture will inevit-
 ably result in the separation of the
 alcohol and the gasoline in the
 blend and involve carburetion and
 starting difficulties which will in-
 crease as the temperature goes loWer,"

Got Into Trouble Over
 Plans for Club House

Originally charged with statutory
 burglary, Robert Delafield, 16, and John Stoddard. 16, former students
 at the Pomfret school were ar raigned in the superior court at Putnam yesterday on the amended |complaint of injury to private prop erty. They were fined $100 and
 costs each and placed on proba- tion for six months. It was sug- gested to their parents that the
 boys be permitted to work and earn the money with which to pay their fines. The case of Thomas Hart of Waterbury. the third stu dent involved, was continued until Thursday morning.
 The state charged the trio with removing valuable furniture from
 the summer home of Mary E. Hop- pin and transferring it to an ad- joining estate for the purpose of establishing club quarters. Their actions were described as a prank,
 more or less expected of college youth. At the time of the arrest of the youths, George Farquhar,
 caretakerE of the Hoppin estate, l dropped dead of a heart attack. Delafield whose home is in Hew- lett, N. T., and Stoddard, whose parents reside in Garden City, N. Y, pleaded guilty when pre-

Washington, D. C., May SIX haustive road tests by the Ameri- can Automobile Association with cars using ten per cent alcohol blended with gasoline discloses that it's general use would add $600,- 000,OO0 to the annual motor fuel bill of the country. .
 These tests, according to a re- port issued today by the A. A. A.,
 show that the alcohol-gasoline fuel would be 6.5 per cent less efficient than straight gasoline, and in addition cause operating difficulties that might assume ser ious proportions in different sec tions of the country and under different weather conditions.
 In making these tests, which were conducted under the auspi- ces of its contest board. the inter- | nationally recognized body for off cial automotive tests, the American Automobile Association took cog. l nizance of current agitation fol federal and state legislation mak' ing the use of alcohol blended fue

The Waterbury Democrat., 1933-05-03

On recommendation of the state health department which strongly urged it, the board of public works at it's regular meeting at the City Hall last night voted to proceed with the installation of sewer on Windsor street in the Bunker Hill section. At the last meeting, 23 out of 27 property owners on that street voted against the installation of sewer at this time because of economic conditions.
 Two letters were submitted to the board last night, through Health Officer Dr E. J. Godfrey. The first letter, from Warren J. Scott, director of the bureau of sanitary engineering of the state department of health refers to a report made by an engineer from his office who with officials of the city of Waterbury made an inspec- tion of that section. He points out that unless the sewer is installed. the health officer would be obliged to issue orders for eradicating the present sewage disposal systems in that section.
 MT Scott's letter reads as fol- lows:
 Tt would seem to me rom reading this report that the only suitable remedy for unsanitary conditions in this neighborhood is the construction of a public sewer. We realize that 1t is diffi- cult for most property owners to stand assessments under present conditions. but if some of their children should develop typhoid fever or other diseases from the exposure of sewage material, they would regret the neglect to in- stall public sewer. Moreover. construction costs are very much lower now than under normal conditions.
 "We would recommend that before requiring the offending property owners to abate nuis- ances which may be almost im- possible of abatement without vacation of the properties. you strongly urge upon the board of public works the necessity of the sewer extension as measure of public health improvement. If this fails to secure action, appar- ently the only other procedure

The debt was within $500, ,000,-

than on March 81, 1917, just be-
fore the United States entered

The debt was rapidly reduced in
the period 1919-1930, and on June
80 of the latter year stood at $16..
185, 100000, a reduction of $10,-
100000. Since that time the
increase has been approximately
$4,315,000,0 900.
During the present fiscal year
there has been a more rapid in
