company. Two local agents offer cash, 40 per cent of the amount actually deposited. In other words the promoters will gamble on col lecting the full amount credited. Bank officials intimate there is no gamble, but that 100 cents on the dollar will be eventually paid. A person in a difficult financial posi- tion might yield to the temptation of accepting 40 cents on the dol lar from these private spectators. The chamber has made no official comment on this scheme. They are leaving the matter to the opinion of the depositor and his or her legal advisor.
 The second proposal of com panies offering secu4ities in ex- change for the bank books come under a different classification. State officials are demanding that the usual qualifications be met by the companies which/are incorpor- ated under the laws of other states. A person accepting cash on the sacrifice terms as outlined is not so much at a disadvantage as the person who accepts securities of which little Is known.
 No advice has been given by the chamber of either proposition as yet. If the various companies or ganizing qualify to operate under the laws of the state it will be up

TAMMANY HALL IS INTERESTED
 IN BEER PLANS
Several Have Been PrO= posed But a Board of Three Members May Be in Control

New York, March 18-UP)- Tammany Hall summoned state democratic leaders to the wigwam today for conference on beer which opponents charged was de- signed to restore to the political machine its pre-prohibition control over the distribution and sale of the beverage.
 With some $500,O00 annually in patronage at stake, in addition to the lnestimable prestige which accured in "the old days" to those political machines which could con- trol the licensing of liquor manu- lecturers and sellers in their dis tricts, a determined battle was certain.

WaterviIIe Road To Become
 Part Of Trunk Line System
Legislative Committee Expected To Report Favorable On That Plan-This Will Save Thousands Of Dole lars To The City

Representing saving of thous- ands and thousands of dollars to the city of Waterbury, the lower Waterville road is finally to go into the trunk line system of highways, 1t has been learned. According to authentic information received at Hartford. the legislative committee on roads, bridges and rivers will report favorabiy on the bill intro- duced by Senator Joseph H. Law Tor putting the road in the trunk line system. It is expected that the favorable report will come out in the senate on Tuesday.
 More than Is years ago the Wa terville road was taken out of the trunk line system of state high ways and since that time the up- keep of this very important artery of traffic has been borne by the city of Waterbury.
 At the present time the surface of the highway is in very bad con- dition and to remove it at this time would cost over $100,00O. This expense the city could not afford. During the 1881 session of the legislature and also during the 1929 session Senator Lawlor in- troduced bills to have the highway returned to the trunk line system in view of the expense involved In repaving the road. In each of the sessions the Lawlor bills were re- ported unfavorably mad the meas ures killed.
 This session. however. matters were a little changed, with Senator
 Laslor occupying the important
 post of chairman of the committee on roads, bridges and rivers. His bill this year came before his own
 committee. Therefore. it IS under Stood, the committee has already

 Become Brewery

The old church on Chapel street in Wateryille that has been used as a cider mill during the past 12 years will be converted into a brew cry for the manufacture of apple ale, according to an announcement made to-day by Charles J. Schnit- man, president of the Reliable Cider Co.
