IMAYOk HAYES IN
 RADIO BROADCAST
Urges Omission of Interest When Back Taxes
 Are Paid

Mayor Frank Hayes in a radio interview at Hartford last night urged a moratorium on interest on unpaid taxes. He said the legis- lature should adopt a bill providing that any person paying his de- hnquent taxes before a certain date would be exempted from all or part of the interest.
 small, he said, for budgets are made up on estimated tax collec- tions. without including interest on unpaid taxes.
 Lieutenant-Governor Hayes point ed out that Federal relief funds require city expenditures for tools and rigorous standards in welfare departments with the result that Waterbury found added city ex- penditures in 1884, because of the Federal relief, amounted to two. thirds as much as the Federal government spent in the city.
 Mayor Hayes repeated his charges that Waterbury is being discriminated against on Federal funds because local funds for re- lief are raised through the Mutual Aid Association. "In other words" he said. "the citizens of Waterbury are penaliZed because of their abil- ity to manage their own affairs. In other cities, where the whole bur den was thrown into the lap of the city government. the amounts of Federal relief funds are much greater per capita" He expressed the hope that a bill pending in the legislature to investigate the dis tribution of relief funds would be adODted.

 Page Report

Highway Commissioner John A, Macdonald to-day submitted tc the governor and to the gen. eral assembly the biennial re. port of the State Highway Department for the two years end ing last June 80. The report showed that during the two years the highway. department i'm. proved 796.70. miles of Connecticut road.
 This work was subdivIded as follows: New construction 1O1.51 miles; reconstruction of existing roads 163.59 miles; town road i'm. pr0vement under the Town Aid Act of 1881, 531.69 miles. There was substantial increase in the mileage improved during the sec. ond year of the biennium covered in the report due to the avail. ability of largely increased federal aid for highway purposes.
 In the appendix to the report 1t is shown that on June 30, 1934 Connecticut had a system of high ways which measured 2,44O.1t miles. The mileage by types oi surface was reported as follows: graded, S1.1S: gravel, 2O1.39; stone surface 33.87; waterbound mac. adam 98O.35; bituminous mac. adam 342.83; bituminous concrete 156.14; reinforced concrete 643.13 brick 1.26. These figures includt only the trunk line and state aid highways, and do not include the large mileage of local, town road which has been improved, large, ly with gravel surfacing, since eu. actment of the Town Aid Act.

It contains the reports both for the year July l 1932-June 30, 1883, and for the year July l, 1933-June 30, 1884 printing of the report for the first named year, having been omitted year ago as matter of depart. mental economy.

The frigate U. s. s. Hartford" which according to a bill intro- duced by Congressman William M. Citron would be repaired. restored and harbored at Hartford, Connec- ticut, as national museum. fig ured in several notable engage mcnts during the Civil War.
 Put in commission at Philadel- phia, January 19, 1862 as flagship of the Western Gulf Blockading Squadron, the U. S. S. Hartford" achieved an outstanding distinction when on April 24. 1852, with sev- eral other ships 1t ran through a blockade. 40 miles from the mouth of the Mississippi river.
 At that point the enemy con trolled two forts, Jackson and St Philip, one on each side of the river. A chain had been stretched across the river on eight schooners, forming q blockade that was con- sidered impregnable and impass- able.
 At 2 o'clock that morning sev- eral Union boats, including the U. s. s. Hartford ran the block ade despite terrific firing from both forts and enemy ships.
 The running of the blockade Is regarded as one of the outstanding naval battles of the Civil War.
 The U. S. s. Hartford" was con- siderably damaged by shells and ten of its crew were killed or wounded in that engagement.
 The ship took part in several other battles. the principal ones be- ing Mobile Bay, Port Hudson, Grand Gulf and Vicksburg.
 On August 10. 1863 1t returned to New York harbor where it was ac- corded honors from the United States Fleet and adjacent forts.

LESS BUTTER

duced in 1888. This reduction in pro-
duction continued through April. 1885,
each month showing a smaller pro-
duction of butter than the correspond
ing month a year earlier. With pas
ture conditions more favorable in the
spring of 1885 than in-1934. produc
tion showed a slight improvement for
May over a year earlier zoe per cent).
June production, however, was 1855
per cent larger and July CAT per
cent larger than the same months
in 1884. The August production
showed a decrease of 2.39 per cent
from August of 1884. During the
months when production was declin-
ing, prices were rising and when pro-
duction increased prices declined.
Less Cold Storage.
Reduction in butter production dur
ing 1884 was reflected in smaller cold
storage holdings. The peak of cold
storage holdings of creamery butter
in 1894 was 125,O47,0OO pounds in
October as compared with 74,713,OOO
pounds in October, 1888, a decrease of
49,666,0O0 pounds, or 2S4 per cent.
Refrigerators were more nearly empty
at the low point of holdings in April,
1885 with 5,341,OOO pounds in storage
than they were at any time since May,
1928, when 100000 pounds were held
over. Butter was moved out of stor-
age to take advantage of favorable
price. Since May, cold storage hold
ings for each month have been in ex-
cess of those for the same months in
1884. The peak for 1895 was reached
in September with 156791 900 pounds,
declining to 14S,666,0OO pounds in
October.
The reductions of per cent in the
number OF milk COWS, with a decrease
in the annual milk production per
COW of 6.5 per cent in two years due
to a shortage of feed resulted in 6
per cent decline in the supply of
creamery butter in 1884 and 2S.5 per
cent lower peak in cold storage hold
ings for the year Of 1884. All these
reductions meant a relatively low
supply OF butter available for con-
sumption and resulted in a prolonged
rise in butter prices which ended
with sharp decline in May, 1885.
The high prices of butter in the
first part of 1885 we're attractive not
only to the domestic producers, but
also to the foreign dairyman who
found the margin between London or
Copenhagen price and New York
price sufficient to permit import over
the 14-cent tariff duty imposed by
the United States on butter. The mar
gin in cents between the New York
price of 80 score butter and the best
New Zealand butter on the London
market for September, 1894 was go
cents. This margin widened to 1873
cents in December, 1870 in January,
40 in February. 1875 cents in March.
and 1872 cents in April. The margin
being greater than the tariff duty of

small prospect of any material in
crease during the next two years.
The heavier than average cold stor-
age holdings of butter on September
1 will be counteracted by heavier
Withdrawals from storage due to de-
creased butter production since late
summer. The threat of butter i'm
ports is negligible due to the fact
that foreign prices are very nearly
to remain more nearly so. Butter
prices are low in relation to prices
of meat animals with a resulting ten
dency to shift from dairy production
to meat production where such shift
can be made readily. The consum-
er's buying power is increasing with
inceased employment, thus increas-
ing the demand for butter. Because
of liberal supplies of feeds, dairy pro-
duction can be expected to increase
somewhat, and to the extent such in
crease takes place will tend to coun-
teract the factors favoring rising but
ter prices.
In conclusion, it may be said that
the rise in butter prices from July,
1894 to April, 1885 was due largely
to a reduction in butter production.
The decline in prices of butter since
April, 1885 is explained by an in
crease in butter production, increased
imports of butter, and greater uses
of butter substitutes. If the present
rate of production is maintained per-
manently, higher prices can be ex-
pected only if the purchasing power
of consumers increases.
