State Aerial Survey
 And Map Being Made
Both Will Be Useful in Connecticut Including Municipal Planning Highway Commissioner Acting for State

the state during the making of fthe survey.
 The photographic work will be done from airplanes at a height of 12,000 feet above the terrain and the scale of the map will be one- inch per 1900 feet. A photogra- phic map of this size will give the characteristics of the terrain in great detail.
 In order to bring the detail out sharply, the photography will be done while the trees are leafless and while the amount of snow on the ground is not sufficient to mask the true features of the ground. It will also be done under condi- tions most favorable for aerial photography with respect to sum light, wind velocity, haze, smoke and the like.
 According to the contract the state is to furnish the airplanes and pilots and the contractor the photographers and photographic equipment.
 The number of photographs talk en will be sufficient to reveal stereoscopically each point in the area the state and of neighbor- ing states for distance of half mile beyond the boundary lines.
 Copies of the various sections of the aerial map will be available to state commissions and city and town municipal planning commis- sions at cost which will vary in inverse ratio with the number of prints ordered.

SEWER HEARINGS BY WORKS BOARD
Assessment Levied for Service Installed on
 Lower Charles St

Assessments on the sewer laid sometime ago in lower Charles street were ordered laid last night following a hearing before the board of works. The hearing was merely formal one and was brief. The assessments will involve a number of property owners. The sewer was laid after the board of health reported that 1t was neces- sary fin order to protect the people in that section from disease.
 In view of the fact that the Con- necticut company is planning to put busses on the Oakviile- Water town route soon, the board decided last night to defer action on a petition for a stretch of sewer along Watertown avenue until this takes place. This will save expense for them, when the trolley rails are removed to permit the laying of the sewer 1t will not be ileces- sary to replace them. Tn addi- ton, passenger service will not be interrupted. A delegation asked the board to lay the sewer from Bunker Hill avenue to Aurora street.
 A complaint was received from Frank Hess to the effect that there is a gully at the point where Grandview avenue crosses over Robbins street and that 1t is a
 menace to automobiles. The board agreed to make repairs in the spring. The street committee was instructed to confer with the traffic committee of the police board con corning the space between the rotary traffic standards and the west curb at the corner of Water town and Bunker Hill avenues. Fred Shattuck complained that the space is too small. The water committee was instructed to in- vestigate the necessity of moving a hydrant on Harrington avenue to a new location. The request was made by F. w. Smith.

 Shammy tried to stop him. "If you'll pipe down, Brad, I'll tin you to something. Mrs Canfield just got to town and gave me an address" He threw a slip of pa- per on Brad's desk. It fell next to the address of Rosa Marinello.
 Brad's eye lighted on the two slips, and he stopped his ranting abruptly. The addresses were identical!
 "Marinello = Canfield-" he mumbled, then turned quickly to the puzzled Shamrny. "Where'd you get this?" he demanded.
 "Canfield phoned his wife from that address the day he dis appear" the reported informed him. "Said he had an evening engagement at that place."

Another smash hit is one of the current attraction on the double bill now being offered at Polls. Advise to the Lovelorn" Is the title and stars Lee Tracy and Sally. Blanc. The story concerns Toby Prentiss, breezy young Las Angles reporter who, sleeping off a jag in 8 Turkish bath, remains blissfully oblivous to a major earthquake. thus muffig the story of theyear. This fall from grace results in his being denote to the detestable post of official advisor to the rim host of lovelorn ladies who apply to agony" colums for comfort and guidance.
 Since five-year contract pre- vents him from quitting. Toby de- termines to force his editor to fire him, so he can take the job that awaits him in the garage owned by his girls father.
 He sets to work a vengeance giving advice which stands such haloed institutions as Marriage. the Home and the Family on their re- spective ears; but, also. Toby's un- trammeled and unexpected view point on these matters results in unprecedented gains in the circu- lation and advertising departments and wedges him into the job more solidly than ever.
 Shopping around for a solution, Toby unwittingly lends an ear to n rascally cut-rate drug racketeer, who offers what appears to be sure way out. but in in fact the way in to a pack of new grief.
 The role Is perfect suited to Tracy's peculiar talents and, armed with 9 supply of wise-craoks as fresh aind snappy as himself, the star contributes another flawqess and vivid characterization to add to his latest screen hit by Sally Blanc, Isabel Jewel. Paul Harvey, Judith, Wood, May Boley and Sterling Holloway.
