County Jail Costs
 Show Big Increase
Decrease of 32z in Number of Intoxicants- Revenue
 Increases, Balance of $lOO,OOO as Year Ends

New Haven county, of which Wa terbury is the second largest city, has completed its fiscal year with the largest cash balance in recent years. The report, compiled by Con- missioner A. Sidney Lynch, shows that New Haven county is the only county in the United States free of de.t. The balance in the treasury is in excess of $100,000.
 Total receipts applicable to all departments of the county for the fiscal year were $861 ,257.74. Total disbursements were 68,824.28. The receipts for the 1884 fiscal year were $729,814.12 and the disbursements were $617 7,460.99. Expenditures in every major department of the county increased during the past year.
 The cost of maintaining the coun- ty jail, alone, jumped from $98,- 48534, the expense of 1884, to $112,- 631.54, an increase of over $14,000. The jail had an operating loss of $71, ,351.59. The county home ex- penses also increased from $780, 658.72, the 1884 cost, to $217,2 .22 for 1885. The expenses of the coun- ty commissioners office increased more than $10,000.
 Revenue Increased
 Income from the county tax in- creased $108, ,733.36 over the 1884 figure. Taxes received netted the county $377,367.84 during the year.
 Although more prisoners were committed to the jail during the year than during 1884, the num- Der remaining in the institution at the end of the year was practically the same as year ago. One of the unusual features of the report is the fact that despite repeal and the readily obtainable liquor, 322 less persons were lodged in the jail for drunkenness than in 1884. Dur ing the year 3,387 prisoners were committed to the jail and 3,390 were discharged. There are now 246 pris- oners in the jail. Of the number of prisoners committed during the year the greater majority of them were white men over 2l years of age. Drunkenness, as in other years, was the greatest cause of commit ments. Of the 3,387 committed, 872 were lodge in the jail for drunken ness.
 A total of 143 women were conn., mitted to the jail during the year, the majority of them being colored. Of the men and women prisoners committed, 1852 were natives of Connecticut, 2,17l had been in prison before, 1,241 were married and 324 were minors.
 Type of Cases
 Three persons were lodged in the jail for manslaughter and one for mM der whiie awaiting trial in the superior court. One person went in for highway robbery and 28 for roh- bery with violence. Only one man was jailed for issuing Q frauaulent

 With this invitation to Man ager Gumpertz, Waterbury should enjoy a circus parade next summer if Ringling Bro- thers circus visits Waterbury. All that remains is the usual permit from Superintendent of Police Joseph H. Mclean for a street parade. The police head said he would readily grant the same.
 We're spending over $5O,OO0 to equip the wagons with rubber tires and the horses with rub Der shoes" stated Manager Gumpertz in Florida. Next year we'll be ready. The pa rades were discontinued be- cause city officials complained that their asphalt streets were being cut up by iron shoes and Steel-rimmed wheels"
 According to Manager Gum pertz, fifty million kiddies de- manded the revival of the cir GUS parade.

 ON NEW DEAL'
Local C. of C. Listed as Opposed to Policies of
 Administration

Waterbury's Chamber of Com merce has gone on record as being opposed to the Roosevelt New DeaT program. A report from Washington, D. C., issued by the United States Chamber of Commerce, reveals that 19 of Connecticut's 45 unit mem bers, including Waterbury, voted against the "New Deal" in a recent referendum on "New Deal Iegisla- tive trends.
 While many of the various units in the state voted, the Connecticut Chamber of Commerce, with head quarters at Hartford, refused to take part in the referendum. Nine teen of the states 45 units voted and they were all against the New Deal".
 The 19 units voting against the "New Deal" were the Chambers of Commerce in Ansonia, Bridgeport. Bristol, Grenewich, Hamden, Hart ford, Meriden, Middletown, New Bri- tain, New Haven, New London, Stamford, Torrington, Waterbury, West Hartford, Wilimantic and Winsted and the Bridgeport Manu- lecturers Association and the Mid- dlesex County Manufacturers As- Sociation.

Ringing Brothers circus can hold as many parades as it wants to in Waterbury," de- clared Superintendent of Streets Thomas J. Fleming to- day. His statement was issued n answer to Sam w. Gumpertz, manager of the we'll known tent show, who said in Sarasota, Florida, that rubber tires and rubber h0rseshoes were going to be used hencefOrth to get around complaints of street de- partment officials that the wa gons and horses in the usual 2arades have torn up pave mentS.
 "Waterbury's pavements are in excellent condition" stated Superintendent Fleming, "and all of Ringing Brothers ele- phants, horses, camels. and wagons cannot put a dent in them"
 This explanation comes. as a surprise to me-" added Su- perintendent Fleming. Water bury never objected to the parades of any circus. In fact the parades were welcomed. The custom of late years of the large circuses to do away with parades here has been criti- ciSed. I think it was more econ-

Figures on file at the office of Supt. Joseph H. Mclean show that last year there were 59 arrests for operating while under the in-s f1uence. Repeal has been in effect all through 1894 and 1895, first legal sales of liquor here since pre- prohibition days having been made late in 1883.
 9S Highest Mark
 The total arrests for drunken driving in 1883 and 1882 were both approximately the same as this years. The 1883 figure was 47, while the 1892 mark was 52. In 1881, drunken driving arrests reached a total of 63, while 1880 brought the high peak of 98.
 This years figures, consequently reveal a drop of almost 50 per cent in drunken driving cases here, in the last five years. The figures do not necessarily mean that that many drivers were found guilty of the charge; they are for arrests on a drunken driving charge only.
 An analysis of the 1885 figures shows that August and October brought most of the drunken driv- ing arrests. In August nine arrests were made on tipsy driving charge, and in October 10 alleged drunken drivers were booked.
 Arrestless Month
 In the month of January of this year, there was not 8 single arrest for drunken driving. Other totals by the month include: December. 1884, 3; February, 2; March, 5; April, 3; May, 6; June, 5; July, 4; September, 5; and November, 3.

gram, factory trade schools, many of which have been closed during the depression, will be revived through government cooperation with the factory owners. Students in colleges in this state have earned $12,693.3 .38 during the second four weeks pe- riod of the IVA. Eighteen institu- tions of higher learning which are participating are represented by 8 total of 1925 students.
 Dr. Condon to-day expressed himself as being greatly interested in that phase of the program which deals with the reopening of the factory trade schools, although, he said, he believed the project would be operated separately from the student aid plan and with dif- ferent leaders.
 When the IVA was first out lined last summer it was the trade school plan which appealed to me as being the most beneficial to 8 city like Waterbury" Dr. Condon said. T have heard nothing offi- cially as to its approval, but I should like to see 1t go through"
 State Allowance
 An appropriation of $90,500 has been allotted to Connecticut to car- ry out this part of the program and 1t will probably begin within few weeks. According to a recent announcement from IVA head quarters the Connecticut allocation will be distributed as follows: Youth community and recreation al leadership, $55,2o0; rural youth development, s19,000; public service training projects, $11,775; and re- search projects.

 When the project is in full swing in Waterbury, a total of lO5 students will receive $630 per month to help them obtain an education which they might otherwise have to forego. It is expected that the payroll will be approved Monday and the funds sent to Waterbury for distribution early Tuesday morning. Paydays, Dr. Condon said, would fall on the 18th of each subsequent month.
