ELKS POSTPONE
 ACTION ON SALE
Only Few Members At. tend Session to Discuss
 Land Question

The proposition of selling or leaS. Ing tho adjacent lot on tho east side of tho lodge of the Waterbury Elks was put off until tho next meeting by members last night as 90 few turned out for tho discus. sion of ho transaction.
 An offer was received several months ago from tho Gulf Refln. Ing Go. to lease the property for S200 q month. Recent developments find tho Atlantic Refining Go. of- fering to buy the plot If it were for sale at C desirable price. Club or" ficerS stated that the latter com. pany should propose tho price and that the matter would be taken be- fore members.
 As the Atlantic Go. demurred ht naming q price and AS the members are unwilling to sell unless such 6 price is named apparently these business relations will be prolonged indefinitely. The club will not dis- cuss tho matter unless c price is named.
 However, in the edition of the ElkS' bulletin the fact that these of- fers were received was not noted and club members were asked to consider both offers and to decide whether or not to accept either.

Careful Driving Has
 Saved 42 Lives
Decrease in Accidents Now at Greatest Peak, 50 Re-
 ports Commissioner Michael A. COnnOr

will achieve the most astonishing reduction of Beventy.two in our death total caused by trafiic Accis dents. That will mean c total of 4i3 traffic accident fatalities, the lowest in the history of the state since our registration became real heavy. We would have to go back to i032 when VIC had only 3b0,7i0 cars registered Go find c lower total and the figure thnt year was 406.
 The commissioner pointed out that 1t was practically c year ago that Connecticut was aroused by the increase of forty-one persons on the trafilc accident fatality list aS cor1- pared with tho previous year. The mounting toll attracted statewide attention, particularly on the pert of tho newspapers.
 we should Do abit to recall oaB. fly" said tho commissioner, "the initial effort made by the Safety Council of The Hartford Times through full page advertising and liberal editorial notices to secure pupHC TVbSblVH hbbHlDb Uiv SHkUtODO operation of motor vehicles, The newspapers of the state followed suit and in every city and hamlet our citizens were reminded again and again of tho price society At large0 was paying because Of unsafe operation of motor vehicles. There iS no question but what the valiant efforts of our Connecticut newSpas pers to educate the public to the need for better driving was c potent factor in tho gratifying dc. crease in persons killed 50 for this year."
 Throughout tho country an effort Is being made, under tho sponsor ship of the National Safety council, to secure 6 decrease by i040 of thirty.fVo per cent in persons killed because of trafiic accidents. If Connecticut continues It's present enviablo record 1t will be one of few states to record such an unusual decrease in ono year of twice the objective.

Connor of the State Department of Motor Vehicles ThurSday. At the same time the commissioner efns phaslSed that this decrease is the greatest recorded ct any time dur- ing the past Ave years, With an iil- crease in registration of 33,707 cars this year and Q steadily increasing consumption Of gasoline, both fac. tors indicating packed highways and consistent travel, the fifteen per cent decrease in trafiic accident fa. talities Is remarkable, in the opinion of the commissioner.

MEXICAN BANKING
PLANS SIGNIFICANT
New Set-Up Closely Parallel to
Federal Reserve System Ex-
cept for Tribunal.
Ey the Associated Press.

6y TIC hoSOCidbtu ISos-
MEXICO, D. F., September 8-A
banking set-up closely paralleling the
United States Federal Reserve System
has emerged from the latest shaking
up President Lazaro Cardenas gave
Mexico's monetary system.
While the spending public was
chiefly interested in the President s
putting back into circulation the big,
l2-gram silver pesos withdrawn in
1885 bankers found more important
the increased powers he gave the Bank
of Mexico.
Secretary of the Treasury Eduardo
Suarez gave this explanation of the
Bank of Mexicos new status:
1T will be an institution on plane
of absolute autonomy. which will al
low it to exercise with ease its func-
tions as central bank, consisting Of
the regulation of the emission and cir
culation of money, foreign exchange
and the money market. and of sup
port for associated banks
That, observers noted, virtually
duplicated the purposes of the Fed
eral Reserve in the north-the more
so that the new DEGREES authorized
the central bank to discount paper of
other banks
A distinct innovation, however, was
the setting up, effective January l. of
an entirely autonomous fiscal trib-
unal" to rule on all questions coming
up between the state and private in
dividuals.
