BUS SERVICE PLAN GETS
ROBERTS, ENDORSEMENT
Doubt Expressed, However, if
Shift From Street Cars Will
Tap City Center.

General approval of the substitution
Of bus service for the Anacostia- Con-
gress Heights street car line, ordered
by the Public Utilities Commission,
was voiced yesterday by Peoples
Counsel William A. Roberts.
He raised the question, however. of
whether the new line would afford a
sufficiently close approach to the heart
Of the downtown business section. The
bus line will run along Constitution
avenue from Sixth to Twentieth
streets.
Roberts also suggested extension Of
the Massachusetts avenue bus line
from its present terminus at Seven
teentb street and Pennsylvania ave-
nue. to the vicinity of Tenth street and
Pennsylvania avenue would provide a
good transfer scheme.

WAR VETERANS
ARE ASSISTED
Spanish American Group
Get Back Benefits Paid
Before Economy Act

Washington, July 81 UP)-
The senate today passed a bill re-
storing all benefits held by Span
h-American War veterans before
the economy act of 1888. The bill
now goes to the president. The
veterans administration estimated
the measure would cost $45, $751;
1872 for the fiscal year 1886 and
add approximately $4,000 veterans
and dependents othe rolls. Sen.
Joseph T. Robinson, d., Ark, said
it would increase monthly pensions
from $31.S4 to $42.45 and would
give Spanish War Veterans with
out service-connected disabilities
$2.51 more a month than World
War veterans injured in action.
He said it would not restrict
benefits to helpless or incompetent
veterans but would throw them
open to all, merely because they
reached a certain age" He added
it would set precedent for World
War Veterans to ask a like restor-
alton of laws abrogated by the eco
nomy act. The bill applies also to
persons who served in the Philip
pine Instruction and the Boxer
rebellion. 1t was swept. through

LOCAL DEALERS
IN CIGARETTES
PAID $4,000
That Was Sum Sent to
State Treasury in First
Month of Tax

Cigarette dealers In waterbury.
both wholesale and retail, have
turned approximately $4,000 into
the. state treasury during the past
month. Today marked the close of
the first month that the new Con-
necticut cigarette tax has been in
effect and the fact that In the
negih borhood of $4,000 has gone
into Hartford from this city Is
considered quite an important item
in view OF the fact that when the
measure was passed by the legis-
lature setting up the tax 1t was
estimated that between 100000
and 100000 would be realized
yearly from this new source of
revenue.
Are 1000 Outlets
In all there are about 1000 out
let's for cigarette sales in Water
bury. The local distributors them
selves are said to have paid out be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000 in the
purchase of tax stamps. Other
small dealers have bought and
affixed to cigarette packages about
$4,000 in stamps, It is figured.
The size OF the first months
income from this city In the form
of cigarette taxes gives an excel
lent idea of the revenue creating
powers OF the state as whole.
The new law provides a one-mil
tax on each cigarette sold In Con-
necticut. The popular size of the
packages of cigarettes sold is
known as the go" These pack
ages carry two-cent tax stamps.
Consumers Pay 1t
The tax is paid by the con-
sumer. Therefore, Waterbury's
cigarette-smoking population is a
a very large one, in view of the
fact that at the rate of two cents
each twenty cigarettes the state
was able to collect approximately
$4,000 here in the short space Of
one month.

MANY PROPERTY
OWNERS FAILED
TO SIGN LISTS
They Will Be Assessed
Extra Amount Accord
ing to the Law

AS a result of between 5000 and
5000 Waterbury property owners
failing to sign their tax lists in
the month of June and the subse-
quent failure of mortgage holders
to affix their signatures to the
lists for the first ten days Of this
month. as prescribed by law, PEN
alties totaling approximately $780,
900 or more have been imposed
here. Figures to this effect were
obtaind this morning at the Of
flee of the assessors. Under the
state law 10 per cent penalty is
compulsory placed on all proper
ties not signed for during the pre-
scribed period.
More Last Year
Failure of property owners to
sign their tax lists last year re-
suited in penalties amounting to
S34S,S98. It is believed that the
penalties imposed this year under
the state law will be in the same
nighborhood. The board of asses
sors is now completing the work
of making up its report on penal
tbs assessed this year and defin-
lite figure will be available shortly.
Most of the property lists un-
signed this year involved automo-
mobiles and stores. However, a
substantial number of owners of
real property failed to comply
with the law. Also, it was pointed
out today, many persons, exser-
vicemen and the like, having ex-
emptions, neglected to sign the
lists as the valuations on their re-
spective personal properties, such
as autom obiles and the like, left

GERMAN MIDDLE

Answer Will Quickly Come
to Protest Made By
German Govt.
BY HOBART C. MoNTEE
Omitted Press Staff CORRESPONDENCE


Washington, July 31.-(UP1-
something Of hot spot to-day as
a result of Germany's emphatic
protest concerning the communist
attack on the German flag in New
York harbor last Friday.
Ordinary procedure would caly
for formal apology or at least
an official expression of regret
That would probably close the In
cident. The case is complicated by
a number of angles which preclude
anw such simple solution. Some Of
these are:
1. The strong feeling in this
country towards the Hitler govern
ment as result of the repressfve
campaigns against Jews and Cath
olics in Germany. American
Catholics and Jews would be ex-
pected to resent any 'toadying" by
the United States to the German
government as a result of the flag
incident.
2. Agitation in and out OF con-
gress for sewerage of diplomatic
relations with Germany as a re-.
suit of the national policies Of the
Hitler regime.
8. The thinly yelled dislike of
administration officials themselves
for the Hitler regime, partly be-
cause of the religious and racial
policies, and partly because OF
German violation of treaty obliga-
lions and discrimination against
American products and American
bondholders.
