75-CENT CUT
IN PERRY TAX
RATE STUDIED
Drastic Reduction Likely,
Board Indicates After
GriIIinq HohIt.

Indications that the Marion
County Tax Adjustment Board
would seriously consider making re-
auctions ranging from IS cents to
81 in the proposed 1886 Perry Town
ship tax rate were seen last night
as board members closely questioned
Leonard A. Hohlt, embattlad trustee.
While Mr.. Hohlt was being
subjected to intensive grilling, more
than 200 indignant citizens OF the
township we're meeting at the
Southport High School to protest
the proposed township rate OF $3.50
and prepare their own estimate OF
possible reductions.
A committee will carry the mes
sage of the protesting taxpayers 10
the adjustment board at 7 tonight.
The irate citizens, led by John
Bright Webb, state Senator, aimed
impeachment threats at Trustee
Hohlt.
Attack Building Request
The heated criticism was leyeled
at an item in the Hohlt budget
asking $4,000 for new buildings. 1t
was said this money would be used
to build a new high school atnIetlc
stadium.
The S121.35O item for teachers
salaries and bus drivers contracts
S564O for building repairs and $500
for power and light were attacked
as being excessive.
Leaders of the committee charged
that Mr.. Hohlt had failed to deduct
$4,000 due the township from the
state in figuring the request Tor a
special school fund Of Sl49,50O'
throughout the needing, the citi-
zens talked of filing formal I'M
parchment charges and declared
that if the county board did not
heed their demands, they would ap-
peal the budget to the State Tax
Board.
Blames Deficit, Debt
Every item in Mr.. Hohlt's budget
request was closely scrutinized by
board members last night, with
Murray Morris, George S. Olive, A.
C. Byerly and Chairman Frank w,
Quinn joining in the examination.
No formal action was taken, but
the attitude of the inquisitors indi-
Gated drastic action on many items.

There was nothing to eat except ham and eggs.
There was nothing on earth to do. Henry must
be crazy to like such place She got it fixed
in her mind that Henry was crazy. But he
knew how to make money.
In November of that year. on a stormy
night when the wind reared round the house
on the sands, sitting by the fire with Raynham
who was up North for a weekend. Fenwick,
his eyes shining, said: "D'you ever get bit
of holiday after Christmas1"

But don't know about this year. I've lost
my feeling for it somehow"

and sail for the Islands in the spring. Mean
while I've got to look after the boat"

Raynham looked at him hard. IL think
you'll get there all right. III tell you what!
III come to the Riviera to zee you start"
That's bargain" said Fenwick.
And 20 it came about that on a brilliant
morning at the beginning OF the following
April. Raynham, from the quay of Cannes
harboe, saw brown hand wave from the
deck Of tiny sailing boat clipping out on a
calm blue sea, and heard faint huErah come
over the water. He wanted to return the hur-

on the sands. And when at Whitsuntide,
Raynham betook himself once more to the
North, she decided to follow.
Raynham went off on Thursday. Mrs.
Raynham followed, on Friday She had no
intention of staying longer than one night II
her husband were amusing himself with
another woman and trying to throw dust in
her eyes. she would soon put him wise.
In the late afternoon, Raynham and Don
Fenwick were sitting out in the warren in a
couple of folding chairs, smoking their pipes
and talking about the Islands, when rickety
fly with Mrs. Raynham in it drove up on the
sandy road and stopped by the gate in the
barbed wire fence.
We'll. I'm damned! My wife, exclaimed
Ranham.
His face was grim as he heaved himself ND
from his chair and went to meet Mrs. Rayn-
ham. who was gingerly picking her way
among the sand-hummocks, followed by the
red-faced boy driver carrying her luggage.
Hello, Henry! thought I'd have look
at the bungalow. Can you put me up for the
night1"
There was nothing for it but to force vel
coming look and present Fenwick to Mrs.
Raynham. He. perfectly at his ease and with
his charming careless air, shook hands and
hoped that she had a good journey. She re-

the sands three days that time. And how
quickly they went by! He was sick when he
had to 60 back to London and leave the
warren and the sound of the sea. Fenwick
saw him off at the little roadside station Just
beyond the sand banks.
I'll soon be back" said Raynham leaning
out of his first-class carriage and grasping his
new friends hand.
Hope so" said Fenwick. But the grip of
moneys pretty strong, as l found out in
Paris"
There was shrill whistle and the train
drew away. Raynham saw brown hand
waving, brown face with a grin on it. And
then that life he loved was gone from him.
Back in London he tried to settle down. In
Crosvenor Square his wife was sarcastic
about the house on the sands She could not
understand mans longing for Nature. She
was woman who spent half her time in
beauty parlors and the rest in society. At
forty-fve she chung more fiercely to luxury
and pleasure than she had chung when she was
an ambitious girl of twenty. People who dis
liked her said that the music that accompanied
her was the rustic of bank notes.
Have good timer" she said to her hus-
band, observing him with satirical eyes.
"Splendid!'
What did you dor"
Walked on the sands"
How exciting!"
As time went on and her husband whenever
he could get two or three free days, rushed
off,, her phrase, to Euston and took train for
the North, Mrs. Raynham felt the prick of a
sharp curiosity. She did not ask questions,
because she was sure If woman asked qtes-
tons of a man who was up to something, she
would get only lies in return, but she resolved
to see for herself what was doing in the house

golf gave dinners: they ran over to Paris,
gambled bit at Monte Carlo. They took the
life that was presented to them as man
takes whiskey and soda when another fellow
says, "Whatll you have1"
Don Fenwick was utterly different from all
these men, and Raynham found it out that
night as they sat by the fire in the house on
the sands. Fenwick wouldn't have drink but
lit up an old briar pipe. Evidently he didn't
think it necessary to accommodate himself to
his companion, for he continued to be Just

there came plying look, which checked the

"A few days. ah!" said Fenwick in musing

Raynham, trying for briskness. And he

|CLAFFEY REFUSED
 BY LIQUOR HEADS
Permit Not Granted Local Applicant; Eating Made
 Uncertain By Law

Hartford, Dec. 9.-The question as to what is restaurant may be de- cided soon by the Supreme Court of Errors as result of the refusal of the Liouor Control Commission to grant permit to Edward A. Claf- fey, owner of restaurant on Meri- den road, Waterbury.
 Superior Court Judge Earnest c. Simpson on Friday received Claf- feys request, presented through At torney Frank Odlum, asking for &C., ceptance of the report of Judge Isaac Wolfe, state referee, who rec commended that the permit be granted if the court found that Claffey is operating a restaurant within the definition of the correct act which requires the serving of hot meals at least twice daily as the principal business of the establish ment.
 Judge Wolfe said the liquor con- trol act on the definition of res- taurant was so ambiguous it was question of law for the court to decide. Judge Simpson apparently agreed with this view for he said as the hearing began, T have read the legisalture's definitoin of restaur- ant so many times I can recite it, but some one of you lawyers tell me what 1t mans"
 Assistant Attorney General Leo V. Gaffney told the court Claffey's es- tablishment was . night club and the liquor board decided it did not come under the definitoin of res- taurant as contemplated by the controkact.
 Declaring 1t would be good policy to get all the cases bearing on the same question before the Supreme Court for . ruling, Judge Simpson said, "A hot dog in the morning might be Q satisfying meal to hungry man. He might get another at night and he might do it regular ly every night make the place con- form to the statute. I don't know"
 MT. Odlum said after the hearing he expects to confer with the Attor- ney Generals office to get the case before the Supreme Court of Errors, This may await Judge Simpsons decision of which way the court rules or be reversed directly to the Supreme Court.
