TAXPAYERS DID
 SPLENDID WORK
Tax Collections This Year Were the Best City
 Has Experienced

Tax collections in the city of Wa terbury for 1e36 were the best in many years, Tax Collector William A. Ennis declared to-day. Auditors working in the office of Tax Collec- tor Ennis stated this morning that out of an estimated $5,ie6,000 inc come from property taxation. Q bal- ance of only s750,000 remains un- paid on the 1036 bills.
 Close to Million
 In recent years unpaid tax bills have amounted to close to @ million dollars and in some instances over that amount. Tax Collector Ennis said to-day that the response given by property owners this year is fur- ther indication of the increasing prosperity being talked about by business houses and factory off, cials.
 The legal period for paying the 1885 taxes closed last evening. Be- ginning to-day interest will be paid on the unpaid taxes or on the bal- ances of the bills not checked of.
 Depression is Dead
 Apparent ability on the part of property owners to pay their taxes this year on @ larger scale than in previous years indicates, 1t was stated to-day, that the road out of the depression under the new deal" is being speedily traversed by those who in recent years have felt effects of the depression.

BOY ASKING FOR
 HEAVY DAMAGES
Lad Was Carried Through Tunnel; Simonsville Co.
 and City Are Sued

Five-year-old Kenneth Greatorex who was carried through an under ground water tunnel for a quarter of mile and deposited in the Naugatuck river still alive is plain tiff in Q $5,000 civil action filed to- day in the common pleas court as e result of his experience. Suing through his father, Louis, he names the Simonsville Manufacturing Go. and the City of Waterbury as de- fendants on the ground they failed to have the culvert guarded.
 The Culvert opening is located on property of the Simonsville Manu- featuring Company ct Baldwin and Madison street and the floor of the brook is five feet below the level of the sidewalk which is controlled by the city, says the complaint, drawn by Attorney Vincent A. Miller.
 No Adequate Guard
 The defendants were charged with not keeping adequate safeguard against those using the street wich is used by many pedestrians, partic- ularly children who play in the vi- cinity.
 The complaint says the boy was standing near the culvert watching the torrent of water gushing through the culvert and due to the uneven and unguarded terrain about the culvert, fell into the brook. He was swept helpless ura- derground through the tunnel for distance of more than Q quarter mile and deposited Into the Naugatuch river with great force says the com piaint.
 The plaintiff sustained injuries about the body, including commissions, lacerations and abrasions about the trunk of the body, arms and legs, in addition to scalp injuries and a brain consussion.

Waicott of the state department, also in. dicated that anybody who threw up Q job or jeopardized income to qualify for state aid would be con. fronted with difficulties.
 Ruling is Quoted
 MT. Walcott called attention to the recent ruling of the attorney general, which is as follows:
 "rn considering the interpreta- ton of the act in part or as a whole it is necessary to bear in mind the intention of the legisla- ture at the time of the adoption of the act. Nowhere in the act is the word pauper or poor used. On the contrary the applicant is called the beneficiary and is permitted to own real or personal property and at the same time receive assistance from the state. It is apparent that this act was meant to provide for Q special class and 1t should not be confused with those statutes which apply to the care of paupefs." |"

GOV. LANDON OF
 KANSAS IN RACE
Roosevelt Believes He Will Be His Opponent in the
 l936 Campaign

Washington, Nov. 2-(Up)-When President Roosevelt brandished a big blue pencil over his desk this week, he signailed for @ new deal budget theme song that's likely to be heard often in the i936 presi- dential campaign.
 Already the presidents jovial threat to do some blue pencilling of budget estimates has been followed by flare of political fireworks and conjecture emphasizing the close watch administration startegists are keeping on Gov. Ali Landon of Kansas, and his balanced budget.
 Much Budget Talk.
 Budget talk took up much of MT. Roosevelt time at the White House before he left for Hyde Park We'd nesday night. And indicative of the thoughts of new dealers preparing for the campaign were:
 The attack of Harry Hopkins who said Landon had balanced the Kan- sas budget by taking it out of the hides of the needy" and that Kansas hadn't contributed a "thin dime" to relief. It developed that, while the state had not contributed, the cities and counties of Kansas had.
 Word from Denver that the presi- dent, talking to Colorado democratic leaders on his recent cross-country journey, had indicated belief that Landon would be the republican nominee.

 According to these messages the Italian losses have impaired morale to such an extent that the Italians are moving out an infantry screen to protect Mt. Mussa Ali bases for depredations.

Dr.. L. Don Leet Harvard Seismologist Made That Statement Today-Small Tremor Felt in Buffalo
 TOday-Toronto Registered Shock

Harvard, Mass, Nov. 2-(UP)-- New England need fear no more after-shocks resulting from yester- days earthquake, pr. L. Don Leet, Harvard university seismologist, stated today following Q study of the quake records.
 He said three "yery srnail' af- ter shocks were xecofded yesterday afternoon and evening, but that the expected number did not and will not develop.
 Presidents of New England need have no fear of any after- shocks resulting from yesterdays earth quake" Dr. Leet said. Yesterdays earthquake showed signs of being in c class by itself from ordinary quake. The many after-shocks that were expected did not develop. There were only three very small after. shocks, at 1854 ?. m, 1:6e ?. ryl., and 8:45 p. m.
 Last Was Largest
 "The last of these three was the largest, but ell were, extremely small.
 "There Is not c chance now that any more after-shocks will be felt by residents in this area. The rea- son for the absence of the expected after shocks Is probably that this was deep-focus quake, 100 or 200 milesb eiow the surface of the ground. /.
 Prom what we have learned of 'quakes recently 1t appears that deep-focus 'quakes do not have many aftershocks. The depth of the quake center Is also the reason for thef act that the quake was felt over such c wide area"
