COLLECTION OF TAXES ExCELs
<, 400, GOO sia 50 faf This Year; Amount Ahead of Last Year

Preliminary report of tax collec- tions for the second half of the year due during October, was made today by Tax Collector William A. En- his and showed that an approximate $4, 400, ,000 has been paid in to the city so far this year. This sum does not include 8 considerable amount expected in the mail which is being checked today and for the next week or ten days. The $4,400,000 repre- sents about 85 per cent of the esti- mated receipts in the l938 budget, or $5, 5,177,000. With accounting of the mail returns, it is anticipated that more than $10OO0O will be added to this total within the next few days.
 Ahead of Last Year
 Comparatively, collections are ahead of last year. The amount to- taled at the close of business last night compares favorably with the $4,367 900 collected up to the close of business the last day of October, 1887.
 Of1cials estimated that improved business conditions are reflected in the second installment returns, in aslnuch as collections last year were made during the period preponder- antly before the sudden business re- cession of last fall. Collections for the first half, due May 30, amount ed to $S,068, 900, somewhat lower than the amount collected by the same date in 1897.

 What Question Involves The question involves whether Wilson was an employe of the Lar gay Brewing Company, or only of Gerald Patzold. who operates the Connecticut Service Company. Com missioner Lynch held that he was employed by Largay, and entered a compensation award of $11 weekly for 520 weeks on Wilson's claim that he was injured in fall from a lad der during the course of erection of sign.
 The Largay Company employed Patzold to erect a sign at the cor ner of Baldwin and East Liberty streets. Patzold was the employer of Wilson, and the latter was as- signed to the job. Patzold did not come within the compensation act because he did not hire five employ es.
 Change Is Ordered Judge Simpson ordered that Con- missioner Lynch change his finding

 Jewish reports indicated that only few had found friends or relatives and that most were being cared for by the Jewish ConlnilIaitv and the Polish Red Cross. Most OE then were quartered m schools, hospitals barracks. The Polish and German governments in exchanges yesterday prepared the ground for business negotiations on the Polish citizens ship laws. The German embassy here did the preliminary work for the German government. It was believed here that actual negotia- tiors would be started at Berlin to- morrow.
