Tax Commission To
Discuss Budgeting
Local Financial Administration to Be Theme of Hart
ford Meeting, Friday, January 26

A public hearing on the general
subject Of local financial admins
tration to be held Friday, January
IS, in the old senate chamber in
the State Capitol building at 2 p.
m. was announced today by the
Connecticut Special Tax commits
sion. This hearing is intended to
cover questions Of budgeting, ac-
counting, auditing, reporting, bor-
rowing and debt limitation. Prob
lens Of tax assessments and collec-
ton, except as they tie in with the
above subjects, are beyond the
scope Of this particular hearing.
The commissions examination of
this general problem has disclosed
the following specific difficulties in
local financial administration:
1. In Difference to local self-gov-
eminent, state law has not imposed
upon the municipalities severe re-
quirements with respect to f1nan-
cial organization or procedure. ac-
counting, auditing, or reporting.
Many municipalities, upon their
own responsibility, have established
effective systems Of local financial
administration. Others, however,

which the budgeting procedure is
crude, accounting and auditing are
rudimentary, and reporting is inad-
equate. The diversity of financial
practice precludes an intelligent CO.
ordination of municipal finance
with that of other governments.
These conditions obstruct proper,
financing of government in the
state and prejudice attempts to
bring government expenditures un-
der rational control.
2. Repeated disputes arise in the
conduct Of municipal finance over
the respective powers of selectmen,
local boards of finance, and admin
istrative agencies in the determine
ton of the amounts to be appropri-
ated in carrying out the duties made
mandatory upon municipalities by
state law. Because of the large ag-
gregate Of expenditures involved,
this conflict arises most frequently
between local boards of education
and municipal fiscal officers.

18th Division Reunion
Dinner January 10th
Fifth Annual Veterans Fete to Be Held in Boston
Celebrated Guests to Attend

The fifth annual reunion dinner
Of the 4th Division Association Of
New England will be held on Sat-
uPday afternoon and evening, Jan.
Fl at the Hotel Kenmore, Kenmore
Square. Boston.
New England men served in
many army divisions during the
World war, but outside of the 26th
probably more New England men
served in the 4th than in any other
combat division. Like every reg
ular army division, the 4th was
made up Of men from every part
of the country, but its greatest re-
unions are here in Boston annual
ly, and in its New Englad associa-
ton, it musters more men than
any other place.
Among the invited guests to be
present are General Benjamin A.
Poore, U. s. A., retired, honorary
president of the National associa-
ton, Carlton E. Dunn, (8th F. s.
Bn.) president Of the National 4th
Division association, Gustav H.
Lamm, (47th Inf.) president of the
New York chapter and DR. Rudolph
II. Bloom, (39th Inf. M. CO. presi-
dent of the Pennsylvania chapter.
A feature of the reunion will be

municipal debts, and general disor-
ganization Of municipal finance
have resulted from lack Of syn
chronization between tax due dates
and the beginning Of fiscal years.
In addition, the diversity Of fiscal
years prevents an intelligent COM
parison Of the financing Of different
municipalities and deprives tax
payers Of information bearing upon
the causes Of their total tax burden
as indicated by the combined levies
of all governmental units.
4. 4. In spite of the existence Of
a law limiting the indebtedness Of
this indebtedness
has steadily increased at a relative
ly rapid rate. The debt limitation
has not hampered the borrowing Of
some communities while severely
restricting that Of others. In many
cases, the debt Limitation has either
been circumvented by various de-
vices or relief has been secured by
means Of repeated amendments to
the general statutes or by means Of
a growing body Of special acts.
S. The evident tendency in other
states to introduce a greater degree
of state supervision over local A.
nance in the form Of requirements
for uniform budgeting, accounting,
etc, state approval of local
borrowings, and state review Of To-
cal budgets raises the question Of
the suitability Of these procedures
for Connecticut.
Announcement of these hearings
has been sent to first selectmen,
and wardens, and to chair
men of the boards Of finance in all
towns, cities and boroughs in the
state. These officials have been
asked to bring the matter to the
of any interested parties
in their communities. The hearing
is open to the general public. The
will continue its policy
of giving careful consideration to
any written communications placed
in it's hands by those unable to at
tend.

.LONERCAN FAVORS
LIQUOR TAX BILL
Senator Supports Measure
Permitting Newspapers
Carrying Ads

Washington, D. c., Jan. 15.-
An amendment to the liquor tax
bill, permitting unrestricted inter-
state circulation of newspapers
carrying liquor advertisement, was
adopted by the senate and had the
support Of Senator Lonergan (D)
Of Connecticut.
Senator Clark Of Missouri, pre-
scented the amendment, after con-
ferring with several senators, in
GLIDING Senator Lonergan. It re-
pealed a portion of what was
known as the Reed amendment to
the post office appropriation bill
Of 1917" which prohibited the
sending by mails or express into
any dry state of any periodical or
newspaper containing advertise
ments Of spurious liquors.
Senator Lonergan pointed out
out that the amendment, If it
stands, will relieve newspapers in
Connecticut and other wet states
from the necessity of printing sew
eral editions, some containing
liquor advertising, and some with
out.

BOTULISM CASE
BRINGS WARNING
Health Dept Rates Disease
Fatal - Advise Not to
Taste Canned Foods

Canned food which appears to be
unwholesome should not be "tast-
ed" in an attempt to determine
whether or not 1t Is fit for human
consumption, for 1t may contain
the poison which causes the fatal
disease of botulism, a case of
which recently occurred in Con-
necticut, according to today's
weekly bulletin of the state de-
partment Of health.
Botulism, the bulletin explains.
is q form Of food poisoning which
is rare and entirell preventable If
certain precautions are observed in
the handling Of canned foods. The
poisoning attacks the nervous sys-
tenn of human beings and manifests
itself in a paralysis which at first
may affect local muscles, but later
becomes generalized, involving the
entire body. There is no satisfac-
tory medical treatment for the dis
ease once 1t ha sdeveloped.
Botulism germs grow in a wide
variety of plant and animal food
stuffs and exist in a spore stage
until they reach an environment
made favorable by lack of oxygen
where They'll terminate, grow and
produce their poison. The spores
can only be destroyed after expo
sure to high temperatures for
many minutes. Foods canned by
the water bath or open kettle
method may not reach a tempera-
ture high enough to kill spores.
When foods are boiled in an open
vessel or are not cooked under
pressure the temperature reached
is never higher than the boiling
point Of watr. This Is not sufficient
to kill the spores of botulism. Dur
ing recent years the general trend
has been toward the adoption of
pressure cookers In home canning
as well as In commercial canning.
The pressure cooker Is capable OF
producing temperature much
higher than that OF boiling water
thereby killing all spores present
Botulism usually results from
the ingestion OF canned foods
which have been insuffclently heat
ed to kill the spores. In the process

YMCA Notes

Discussing questions on phases of
criminal procedure, all the way
from Hitler's Sterilization Law to
petty thievery, William eager, the
Public Defender, delighted his au-
dience at the Sunday forum at the
Y.
In a comparison of the Ameri-
can and English system of trial
procedure, Mr.. eager explained
that the American courts had a
greater percentage of convictions
owing to the fact that in England
all cases came up for trial in the
courts. whereas in America, If the
prosecution has not sufficient evil
dence to convict, the case may
never come to trial.
Lynching and race prejudice
were denounced as unworthy of our
American life. They should not be
tolerated in this country-that Gov.
Rolph spoke perhaps too hastily
and let his feelings express them
selves rather than his judgment.
These and other questions were
dealt with by Mr.. eager. A num-
Der of the group remained long
after the meeting still seeking fur

fine concert just previous to the
meeting. Tom Smith of the YMCA
staff presided at the meeting.
