TAX COLLECTIONS

Butler County's large tax collection
receipts, exceeding the accountability
by more than $211, 900, will erase
what might have been serious deficits
in several county subdivisions, J. w.
Wendell, Butler County Treasurer, said
today.
The deficits had been anticipated
because of decreased receipts in sales
tax collections. ALLEGATIONS from the
sales tax have fallen almost $4,000
during the first six and one-half
months this year.
The additional sum received in tax
alton will be distributed to subdivi-
sions in sums equal to the excess cred
tied to the subdivision in actual pay
ments. These sums will vary accord
ing to the delinquent tax payment
made in each subdivision.
Butler County's last tax collection
brought in $1,252, ,646.59, compared
with the 81 1,041,315 certified for col
lection

AUSTRIA STARTS AT DAWN
Vienna, Nov. 10.-(UP)-Anti-
Jewish outbreaks on large scale
started in Austria at dawn today.
Jewish shops and synagogues were
wrecked, Jewish pedestrians were
beaten and an Austria wide round
up was started of Jews whose iden-
LITIGATION papers were not in order.
1t was estimated that between
1000 and 5000 Jews were taken to
police stations in Vienna during the
forenoon.
At noon, four synagogues were on
fire here Explosions were heard
during the fire in the Templegasse
synagogue.
The outbreaks started when, at
dawn, early risers read of the death
of Ernst Won Rath, Paris embassy
secretary who was fatally shot by a
17-year-old Jew, as they went to
work.
Near street car stops and wher-
ever else Jews were seen groups of
men beat them.
SynagOgues Wrecked
After beating Jews, some groups
attacked synagogues. Furniture was
demolished in the temple in the
zirkusgasse by men who frs.
smashed in the doors with an iron
battering ram. Mobs similarly en-
tered the temples in the Leopoldt-
gasse and the Stadtgutgasse and
Jewish kindergarten in the Leopold
gaSse. The Zirkusgasse, Crosses
chiffgasse and Leopoldgasse syna-
gogues were fired.
AS the fires burned in these and
the Templegasse synagogue, furni-
ture was piled in the courtyards
of all four buildings and burned by
demonstrators.
Assaults on individual Jews sub
sided when the official roundup was
started.
Police reinforced by Nazi storm
troops placed cordons around scores
of streets in Jewish populated dis
tricts. They examined papers of all
pedestrians, searched Jews for arms,
and arrested all whose papers were
not in order.

voters impressed with the municipal
record Of the socialist leader. were
willing to take a chance and give
him try at a bigger job.
COP Elected BY Fiuke
It was "flukeD that elected the
Republicans and left McLevy short
Of his goal. But, in his defeat, he
emerged as a "little governor" so
long as the general assembly is in
session. No legislation will be passed
without approval Of himself and his
two senators.
Republicans, mindful Of the ire
rnendous popular vote given the So
cialist leader, will respect his posi-
ton. McLevy is on the rise, and
what he did Tuesday he can do
again, probably with more beneficial
effects to himself at the expense Of
the controlling party.
The president Of the senate will
be DR.. James L. Cot1aughy, pres
ident of Wesleyan University. lib
eral educator, elected lieutenant
governor. The question of president
pro tempore, majority and minority
leaders, will be decided when the
session convenes, Jan. 4.
Republicans increased their ma
jority in the house by 81. In the 1887
session they had 174 representatives,
the Democrats had SO. In the COM
ing session Republicans will have
1876, Democrats 10 and Socialists 2.
Inauguration Jan.
Inauguration OF Gov.-elect Ray
mond E. Baldwin, former majority
leader of the house, will take place
Jan. 4, when he will deliver the
opening address of the new legisla-
ture.
Baldwin was elected to succeed
four-term Gov. Wilbur L. Cross by
plurality of about 5000 votes. He
is 48 years old, a lawyer, former
town court judge of Stratford,
served aboard a destroyer in the
Navy during the World war and
served in the legislature in the ses-
sions of 1881 and 1888. He is mar
ried and has three sons.

fire marshal, indicating that his
duties would be transferred as soon
as possible to the deputy chief.
Salaries for IL company captains
and IA lieutenants are provided for,
as compared with the present de-
partment total of is captains and IA
lieutenants. No provision is made
for five men now on duty as line
men.
The departments request for the
appointment of an assistant super
intendent of fire alarms and an as
sistant master mechanic are not APP
proved in the report and the items
are not set up in the recommended
salary budget.
More Houses Than Needed
Griffenhagen & Associates claim
that Waterbury has more firehous-
es than are needed for protection.
With the closing of three firehouses,
they say, the city would still meet
underwriters requirements that
there must be an engine company
within three-fourths of mile of
each congested business section and
truck company within mile of such
a section, that there should be an
engine company within a mile of
residential district and a truck
company within a mile and half,
and that there should be an engine
or truck company within three miles
of scantily populated residential
district.
81 Firemen On Duty
The three flrehouses which the
report recommends be closed have
a total of 81 f1reinen on duty. In
making retirements, it is suggested,
careful consideration should be CIV
en- the qualifications of the men.
Claiming that fire costs in Water
bury are too high, the report cites
figures from Is cities in the 100000
10000 population class. The per
capita fire cost figure in Waterbury,
in 1886. was the highest of these
cities, the report claims. Waterbury
cost of SGT per capita that year is
compared with cost of $1.83 for
Canton, Ohio, which had a fire de-
partment of Sc men.
Third Highest of 16
Exclusive of the city charge for
water protection, the Waterbury per
capita cost was SALT, says the re-
port, making the city stand third
highest of the 16.
Though fire losses in Waterbury
have been kept to low figure, it is
stated, the figure is not low enough
to justify operating costs that are
too high.
OF the cities cited, the report says
that only one, Lynn, Mass. has more
1iremen than Waterbury. The figure
there is 212, as compared with Wa

Turned Over to Blodgett
Attorney Lewis was reported to
have turned over the matter to
States Attorney William H. Blodgett
of Litchfield county but the latter
would make no statement last night
and was unavailable today. In the
event of an investigation as was in
Dictated might be the case today, it
is presumed that the states attor-
ney would ask to see the questioned
ballots and then would inquire as to
the reason for their being thrown
out. In the event the reason was
deemed insufficient, the matter
might then be brought to the SUI
perior court for determination.
While the number of ballots
which might be counted was esti-
mated at 400 by the Republican can
didate, other sources were of the
opinion that not more than $50 Of
the tallies could be validated in
the event Of a ruling. Further, it
was estimated that the potential
