The 1894 accident map for the H[a1o offers an interesting study. Only two towns in the state came even close to a blameless record for 1884, Bridgewater and Scot land reporting only one motor vehicle accident each. Fifty-five towns were fortunate in not hav- ing any fatal accidents. Bridgeport Reported the largest number of fAtal accidents while New Haven had the largest number of injuries. Xhe largest total of accidents was Reported from Hartford. Hartford led the state in the number of children injured. The Elm iCty reported the largest number of adults injured.
 ff only logical that the towns through which the main arteries Of the state run should report the largest accident totals. The shore towns along U s Route 1, from Greenwich to New Haven, have Particularly sad totals because of the immense volume of traffic which must come in over that route to enter the state and con- kinue on to other points in New England. The eventual comple- ton of the Merritt Highway, pass ing well to the north of US No. |. will relieve the shore towns of traffic congestion and unquestion ably bring noticeable reduction in the accident totals of Fairfield County.
 Continuing a study of the map we find the towns along the shore from New Haven to Stonington

Miss ChappeIl, Methodist Secretary Speaker Friday Night

Attorney Perry Gracierstein will preside at the mass meeting to be held at the Y. M. c. A. Friday evening, at which Winifred Chap pell, secretary of the Methodist Federation of churches will speak. Miss Chappell has a nationwide reputation as an authority on the causes of war. She has served on many committees Investigating la- bor conditions. One of which was the famous committee headed by Theodore Dreiser to investigate the coal strike in Kentucky.
 The Waterbury Branch of the League against war and Fascism under whose auspicies this meeting is being held Is extremely fortunate in obtaining such well known figure for their first large meet ing. Miss Chappell will speak on ''Why Fascism Breeds War;" The subject is very appropriate and timely. She delivers smashing denunciation of the intuition mak- CTS. the war appropriations and program of the Roosevelt admins tration and all militaristic groups advocating larger armies and nav les. She believes that war looms over the peoples of the world. The ruthless politics of Fascism Ger many will eventually plunge the world into a second world war.
 It is the work of the League to bring all forces in to the struggle against war and fascism, to enlist the support of all local church, lib- eral and labor groups. An appeal for membership will be made by Samuel Bloomfield of New Haven secretary of the league in this state.

Hartford, Conn.,, April 4.-(UP) business men today stood ready to assume a greater tax burd4.4i but insisted the state meet them halfway by readjust- ing its spending program.
 This sentiment was expressed be- fore the general assembiy's finance committee which opened hearings on three special tax study com mission bills to jack up the states income.
 The bills would substitute a one per cent tax on the invested capital of corporations, two per cent on income and abolish the $10 flat fec; include motor transportation and amusement houses in unincor- porated businesses and revise the insurance taxation steup.
 Present statutes provide insur ance companies pay four mills on the market value of stock, plus an additional two per cent fran chise tax. Deductions are allowed for local property taxes.
 Mutual companies are required to pay three per cent on invested income.
 Principle Accepted
 The commissions recommenda- ton suggests a two per cent levy on all premiums in Connecticut. an additional IA per cent on the investment income of life com panies and 6 3-4 per cent on the investment income of fire com- panies.
 Insurance officials accepted the proposals, in principle, and recon mended the investment income tax of life companies be reduced to 3-4 per cent with a proportionate decrease for fire companies.
 Regarding increased corporation taxes, William A. Dover, of the Connecticut Manufacturers associ- ation said he believed it best for the committee to withhold action

TEACHERS TO AID
 IN VILLAGE WORK
Volunteer Services to Aid Tercentenary Director
 on Furniture

Furniture for the four colonial dwellings to be erected in the Set tlers' Village in Chase park as part Of Waterbury's observance of the Connecticut tercentenary, will be built by the manual training teach CTS in the elementary schools, it was announced yesterday.
 This group of nine teachers. or ganized in the Waterbury Wood working Teachers association, vol unteered their services few weeks ago when the Settlers village was first talked of. The group will meet with Rawson w. Haddon, di- rector of the Mattatuck Historical society, tomorrow (F'riday) after Loon to go over sketches for the Furniture and plan the work. The teachers will themselves do the work, rather than the manual training classes in the schools.
 James A. Coyle is president of tho group and William Moran Is secretary. MT Coyle has classes at Washington school and MT Moran at Sprague and Driggs. Other members of the association are Dennis O'Connor. who teaches al Croft and Barnard; Andrew Pheian with classes at Slocum and Merri- man; Aidan Donahue, Maloney ana Chase; Daniel Kemp, Wilson Walsh, and Bunker Hill; Everett M. Stanley, Hendricken and Colum- bfa: Frank Nora, Webster and Russell; Thomas Hogan, Duggan and Tinker.
 It is estimated that only % pieces of simple furniture will be required to furnish the three buildings in the village which will portray the de- velopment of early housing. The dugout will have only a piece or two, the one room frame house less than a dozen, with the rest for the four room colnial house.
