LOVALLO CHARGE
 MAY BE DROPPED
PatrOlman Produces Re- ceipts Showing NOn=Pay-
 ment Count Erratic

The committee on men and disci- pline will recommend to the board of police commissioners that charges brought against Motor Patrolman Joseph Lovallo by George Rahler of Cheshire, be dismissed. The com- mittee held a hearing late yesterday on a complaint brought by Rahler that the policeman owed him rent of SIS for the months of April and May.
 Patrolman Lovallo presented to the committee receipts signed by Bahler showing that the rent for those months had been paid. He also produced rent receipts for pre- vious months. The policeman moved from a dwelling at A Greenleaf avenue, owned by Bahler, at the end of May.
 The policeman introduced a letter from Attorney Hugo Guastaferri in which Bahler claimed that he was owed back rent of $110 and $70 for damages to the property. Questioned about this by tho commissioners, Bahler saids tha the lawyers stem ographer must have made an error.
 Patrolman Lovallo also introduced letters showing that Bahler had endeavored to collect money from other tenants, claiming they had damaged his property The police man said that Bahler was in the habit of threatening his tenants with legal action.
 Despite the receipts, Bahler de- nied that the rent had been paid. He said that the receipts he had signed had been taken from his car.
 Patrolman Lovallo brought out that authorities had warned Bahler about sanitary conditions at the Greenleaf avenue house, where a cesspool was overflowing.
 Members of the committee were of the opinion that Bahler's charges had not been substantiated and in- dicated that they would recommend to the full police board that the policeman be exonerated.

Floodlighted Sport
 Gains in Popularity

In no places has the efficiency of f1oodlighting been more completely demonstrated than in some of the nations baseball parks, many of which will shortly be converted into football stadiuinS where night games will be played during the early part of the season. What was first an experiment in lighting has develop ed into practical means of afford ing thrills for thousands of sport lovers who can attend only contests played at night. The cost of erect ing satisfactory lighting system in big parks has been demonstrated to be well worth while in the results. Players at first were inclined to be- lieve their skill would be impaired by artificial light but that belief has largely disappeared as even the highest fly ball or spiral punt is more clearly seen in the floodlight than when the receiving player is facing the sun.

Automobile Club of Hart ford Endorses State Pnb-
 IiCity Commissions Idea


 The stand of Chairman Willard B. Rogers of the State Publicity Commission in asking abolition of Connecticut's constable fee system which has been thorn in the side of motorists was highly praised to- day by the Automobile Club of Hart ford.
 Singled out for especial commen-l dation by the motorists organiza- ton, an affiliate of the American Automobile Association, was MT Rogers frank suggestion there should be legislation to end the payment of fees for arrests"
 Tt has come to my attention that there are many members who ad- mire greatly Chairman Rogers fear- less demand this menace to Con- necticut's good name be. licked" ac-l cording to General Manager Nedl Wallace of the local club.
 I'm glad to say that I feel that I'm voicing the sentiment of ourl .entire association when congratu-| late MT. Rogers for being the firstS state official to move openly to-l ward abolishment through properI legislative channels" he continued ]
 MT. Wallace says he Is glad the. situation has been brought to al head because for many months nu-I merous complaints from out-of-. state AAA members, decrying thel Connecticut racket, have beepI coming to his attention. From MT. Rogers also came wordI that indignant drivers, victims oi' motor vehicle "traps", are writing into the publicity commission to register complaints against the system.
 The attitude of residents in the states small communities where constable systems are in operation are considered particularly signifi- cant by the publicity chairman. Letters from these individuals along with those of the protesting motorists, have been received by the commission.
 An extract from one reveals.
 "Drivers shun the town because of reports being circulated namingI corner in the center where theI so- -called ring" hangs out to spot drivers for the least infraction-I sometimes very unnecessary"
 This writer to the commissionI goes on:
 "A courteous official will always be courteous and a warning isl sometimes all that is necessary. Should there be a chance, for fec he is apt to take advantage and go the limit which understand is the usual procedure here"

NEW FIRE SYSTEM
 WILL COST $2,l5O
Direct Communications Between Headquarters,
 Engine Houses Loom

Experiments with a direct com munications system between fire headquarters and engine houses are being conducted by the bureau of fire alarm telegraph. The system would make possible two-way com- munication between headquarters and engine house, and would elim- mate all gongs and trip switches.
 According to Capt. Robert G. Schlosser, installation of such a system would cost $2,150. The sys- tenn, he said, is being used in num- Der of cities.
 If further tests are satisfactory, Chief Thomas Cavanangh plans to seek permission of the board of fire commissioners to install the system.
