SIM PSO N SUIT
 IN COURT FINALE
Mrs. Joan Sutherland, High in London Society
 Pays $2,75O Costs
By II. L. PERCY

London, June II (UP)-Ernest Aldrich Simpson, after months of self-imposed silence, sought redress in the high court of justice today against gossip that resulted from the divorce suit brought against him by the present Duchess of Windsor.
 The result was that he obtained a full unreserved apology from Mrs. Joan Sutherland, a society woman, who at a west end luncheon table asserted that he had been well paid" to permit the then Wallis Warfield Simpson to divorce him.
 Costs were awarded against Mrs. Sutherland, Simpson sought no damages and the lord chief justice of England, Lord Hewart, who heard the case in person, withdrew it from the record.
 Simpson on Stand
 The high point of the hearing came when Simpson took the oath, his voice loud and clear, and his counsel, H. J. Wellington, asked him if he had received any sum in connection with the divorce.
 Most certainly there was no pay- ment," Simpson said, facing the lord chief justice. Absolutely not"

Floating Indebtedness
 or City Is Wiped Out
Controller Daniel J. Leary Yesterday Issued Check for Sum of $l 800, ,OOO-Retires Temporary
 Loan of Last December

Waterbury's outstanding floating indebtedness was wiped out yester- day afternoon. Controller Daniel J. Leary issued a check for $1,500,- 900 retiring the temporary loan negotiated last December. The city will not have to make any further temporary borrowing for some time.
 The loan retired yesterday after noon was obtained at the lowest rate of interest in the history of the City of Waterbury. The rate of interest AS per cent, less than one-half of one per cent.
 May taxes coming in helped the city in wiping out its floating in- debtedness. It is expected that the municipality will float a new loan several weeks hence. It is possible that at that time the city will have to pay higher rate due to the raise in the demand for interest in the money market. Latest figures dis close the fact that even the federal government is paying more now for loans than 1t did a few months ago.
 While the city is without a float ing indebtedness it will be saving several thousand dollars in interest costs.
 Temporary loans in Waterbury are always made in anticipation of tax income. The municipal fiscal year, under the charter, must start off on January 1st although taxes for the same fiscal years do not start to come in until May. The second irstallment of taxes in the fiscal year is due during October. There fore, the city is obliged to borrow during the summer to keep up its business until the fall revenue is received. Efforts have been made several times iii the legislature to have the local system changed but have met with strong opposition. Banking concerns would be deprived of their lending prospects to great exten throughout Connecticut's municipalities.
