|TAXCOLLECTORSTO|
 HOLD CONFERENCE
Call Issued By COmmis- siOner Hackett for Jan
 P in New Haven

To the tax collectors of New Haven county:
 An informal conference of the tax collectors of New Haven county will be held in room 1, first floor, New Haven county court building, New Haven, on Monday afternoon, January S2, beginning at 1 o'clock. You are hereby invited.
 This will be one of the 1933-34 series of county collectors confer enceE being conducted at conven- lent places throughout the state. Similar meetings were held two years ago and, believe, proved to be of very practical value.
 In view of the many important changes made by tho 1888 session of the general assembly in the laws relating to collection of taxes, 1t is urged that collectors make spe- cial effort ot attend.
 The meeting will be conducted in the nature of 6 round-table dis cussion' of collectors problems. It is particularly desired that collec- tors be prepared to ask questions and exchange views regarding the work of their office. Set programs with definite addresses. have been Intentionally avoided.
 believe that by becoming ac- quainted with each other, the tax collector of the state, the tax com missioner and his deputies will be able to serve better the munich palities and the state. both of which are yitally concerned with efficient and painstaking work in the offices of tax collectors. We shall have at the conference book lets containing local collection laws and supreme court rulings, in ad- dition to pamphlets and forms re- lating to your work. These should prove of interest and value to you.
 It Is requested that this meet ing be called to the attention of the treasurers, municipal counsels. selectmen of towns. mayors of cit- les, wardens of boroughs chairmen of the governing boards of lesser districts town clerks, members of local boards of finance, and any other officials or citizens interest ed. Please notify the officials of your municipality and urge them to attend and take part in the dis cussions.
 ference is shown by the fact that q very high per cent of all the money used for local governments must pass through the hands of the tax collectors. The amount be- ing collected by such officials is now more than $70.000.000 an- nua1ly. Painstaking attention must be given to this subject.
 Please make Q special effort to be present.
 Yours very truly.
 W. Fl. BACKETT.

Hartford. Conn, Jan 13-UP)- "A New Years eve party which got out of control and ended with four men administering severe beat ing to Joseph J. Rustion. to-day had resulted in reformatory and Sail sentences for the men.

fContinued from Page D At the present bid tho dollar is worth about G3 cents and some where among tho 13 pennies be- tween that figure and 50 cents may lie the area in which MT Roosevelt intends 10 bargain. Quite apart from immediate plans 10 bid gold up or keep # where it is. the government has taken a stride toward ultimate seizure of the s3,600, 100000 of gold held by the Federal Reserve banks.
 The movement in that direction lies in q decision. either by MT Roosevelt or Attorney General sCummings, that authority to de- mand surrender of the gold now eposes in the government. [ The advantages of seizure are obvious. When the dollar finally is deprecIated 10 the desired point sta biiization would increase the Daper dollar value of all gold owned fin the United States. If de- preciatIOn were 60 per cent. as the best Informed opinion expects U intimately 10 be, the Federal Re. serve gold would be worth twice as much in dollars.

A total of 2,00O have been given work un- der the CWA but with additions the figure yet to be taken care of is 4.294 women and 85S women. How this can be done with only 200 Of Waterbury's 2,200 quota re- maining Is a problem decidedly hard to solve.

Local barbers, who aside from trimming women's hair also do q little waving, shamp0oing and other beauty work on the side. are considerably affected by the latest rules handed down by the state department of health and the pub lie health council.

Foley of this city, a member of the state board of hairdressers and cos- meticlans, stated that 1t is expect cd that the regulations will be ad. hered to closely.
 One of the rules provides that "no shop. store or place in which 1t is desired to conduct the busi- ness of hairdresser or cosme- tician shall be connected with a barber shop or use the same en' trance as a barber shop"
 In other words, in ordinary bar bershops. that is, where men get their laircuts and slaves and wo. men get their hair trimmed. no waving or other similar beauty treatments shall be given. Thls work must be done in places apart from the barber shops or in what is generally known among the Wo.

of mail subsidies, etc, is doubtful. Actual flying of course, would be left in the hands of the private air companies.
 The Plan
 The proposed arrangement will confer a distinct advantage upon Canadian steamship companies for two reasons.
 CD The Canadian route will be somewhat shorter than the Amer ican and will offer faster service to New oYrk and other centcrs.
 (2) The Canadian route can be made safe for airplanes by the in- staIlatior of direction stations, landing fields, lighting systems, whereas the American route calls for q direct flight from either New York or Boston. to St Johns, New foundland, largely across water.
 U. $. All-Air Route
 It Is understood that United States Jiation interests do not re- gard this impending development with enthusiasm. They have urged the imm mediate organization of the far northern affair route from Cochrane. Ont, northeast along the shore of Hudson Bay, across Hud- son Strait to Baffin Island, thence to Greenland, Iceland and then down to Europe.
 Both Canadian and British in- terests have opposed this. Their reasons are that 1t is not cconom- ically feasible at this time. For0he bulk of the inter-continental trav- eIers the determining factors in competing routes are safety and comfort. These will not be sacri- ficed for the saving of small amount of time. The proposed British Canadian air-water route would give a three and onc-half day service between London and Montreal in summer and about four days in winter.
