DOC LICENSES
 READY FOR '38
Penalty to Be Imposed on Delinquents After Time
 Limit Expires

Dog licenses for 1888 are ready at the office of Town Clerk Mrs. Mary c. Kilmartin. And, while they may be obtained through this month and next before the owners will be pen alized, the town clerk urged today that all owners procure the specified certificates at once, to eliminate the discomfort of having to wait in line should last-minute rush de- velop.
 The licenses for males and for spayed females amounts to $2, while the license for females costs $10.25. After next month, however, there will be added $1 penalty to those who fail to get their licenses by that time. ..
 Further, prosecution and fines, with the alternative of jail sen tences, can be imposed by statute for failure of dog owners to get the licenses within reasonable period.

city in the state to voluntarily estab- fish separate sessions of the City Court in which to try traffic cases. Judge Miller declar traffic arrests have multiplied five times in five years, revenues from traffic cases have greatly increased, and contin- uances have been cut down to a min- imum. He believes the separate traffic sessions of the court help to dramatize the traffic situation and to speed up disposition of cases. The traffic sessions are held on Mon- days and Fridays when the lawyers are not busy with other cases.
 The Traffic Court ill Bridgeport contributes to the cause of highway safety by strengthening enforcement of motor vehicle laws, in the opinion of Judge Miller. This follows the policy of the Safety Division of the Connecticut Motor Club which is absolutely opposed to the fixing" of tickets for serious violations.

tained by temporary loans. and in several instances the bonds have been sold, but the work has cost more than the sums realized by the bond sale. The board of finance proposes to sell immediate ly all such bonds as have been authorized, using the proceeds to partly pay off the floating debt, and to consider all costs in excess of the proceeds of the bonds as part of the floating indebtedness and of the 1887 deficit.
 These overdue bond funds are as follows:
 Municipal Abattoir Bond Fund. The cost of the abattoir was $52,- 312.54. $35,030 bonds have been authorized. The balance, $17,312.54 will be considered floating indebt- edneSs.
 Huntingdon Avenue Bridge Bonds. There Is large technical deficiency in this fund. The amount of cash actually over drawn from the fund amounts to $43, ,36926, which is considered as a part of the dficit.
 Park Bonds, Series of 1881 and Pumping Station Bonds, 1881. Only part of these two authorized se- ries of bonds has been issued, and the expenses fthis work in excess of bond receipts have been $9,512.87 and $28000 respectively. It is proposed that the authorized bonds be sold to reimburse these funds.
 The grand total of the 1897 de- f1cit, as outlined above, would then be:
 Cash Deposit of the 1897
 General Fund ..... .$513, ,407.33 Municipal Abattoir Bond
 Fund Overdraft .... 17,312.54 Huntingdon Ave. Bridge
 Bond Fund Overdraft. 43,369.26
 It is proposed to pay this total deficit by use of the Surplus Re- source Sinking Fund. This is fund into which must be paid all receipts from bacvk taxes and cer- tain other receipts, and which must be used only for payment of debt. This fund had on hand Jan. 1st, 1888 a cash balance of $71, 764.94. Actual repeipts for the first five months of this year, (June figures are not available) were x22l 35305 an averape of $44 271- .6l per month. Total resources )the balance plus the receipts) amount ed on May 31st, 1888 to $293, ,122.99, leaving a remainder of $280, ,96614 still to be paid on this 1887 de- flcit. This can all be paid in 1888 if the Surplus Resource Sinking Fund can collect during the last seven months $40.13802 per month. There are at least two million dollars back taxes, assess ments, etc., now due the city, not counting interest and penalties. The tax collectors have already started a drive for collection of these back items under carefully prepared program, and while some of these items doubtless are uncol- lectible, the board of finance are strongly of the opinion that suffl- cient funds can be brough' in by this method to clean up the cash deficit and the floating debt dur ing the current year. This opinion seems reasonable.

N0TARIES ASKED
 FOR SIGNATURE

As a precautionary measure Clerk William A. Bree of the New Haven superior court has started a movement to obtain the signatures of all registered notaries public whose licenses are on file in his office.
 In connection with this. card has been sent to each registered notary, including Waterburians. The communication requests that the notary sign his name to a piece of paper and return it together with the card, to MT. Bree.
 The local office of the superior court has no connection with this movement, according to George H. Freeman. MT. Bree wants the mo- taries signatures for comparison with documents which are filed in his office.

The chairman said that he planned calling a meeting of the committee to consider filling some vacancies and at that time the mat ter would be presented.
 Question Status
 Meanwhile, political observers questioned whether the resolution" calling on Chairman Crary to fur nish the rules had legitimate back ground inasmuch as the request came from the Independent Demo- cratic Club" and was signed by Roger V. Connor, as president. Members of local town committees could not recall when a political club had made a similar request.
 Consensus was that a situation presently creating friction in the Independent Democratic ranks was being brought to head by the Connor factions attempt to super cede the Independent Democratic town committee in acting for the party. Lately it has developed that some members are contesting the election of Attorney John F. Tobin to the town committee and, by the same token, questioning the rule of Chairman James E. Hartley.
 Same Privilege
 Should the Democratic town com mittee agree to furnish the rules to the Independent Democratic club then score of political clubs would have the same privilege" by prece- dent. But before the meeting of the town committee it is expected that there will be controversy from with out the Democratic party concerning the rights of the club in question, it was remarked today.
 A meeting of the Independent Democratic town committee is in the offing and developments at this session are expected to iron out some of the controversial matters now stirring at least three factions within the group. With the election of John Tobin, one of the founders of the Independent Democrats, to the town committee, observers saw forming of an active coalition which includes the more potent members of the town committee.
 Should this latter named group including Chairman Hartley, at tempt a purge" of some of the recalcitrants to their authority it is understood that such a move would meet with success.
