Spirited Reception
 For Civic Orchestra
Artistic Work of Musicians Deserving of Tributes Paid
 Says Reviewer-Richard Deneau We'll Received

The Civic Orchestra of Waterbury directed by Mario Di Cecco conclud- ed the season last night with their customary distinguished perform ance. One of the largest audiences of the season was at Buckingham hall and gave MT. Di Cecco, the orchestra ensemble and Richard Deneau, tenor, a hearty reception. The program selected followed along the lines of those previously pre- sented; the repertoire of this group increases and they added to their achievements last night a notable reading of Beethoven's impressive Symphony No. in c Minor. The rest of the program was distinguish ed, skillfully arranged to satisfy va ried musical preferences. Richard Deneau, singer possessing definite artistic qualities of vocal expression, sang two selections in the second part of the program and was en- Enthusiastically received.
 Wall Balanced Group
 Mario Di Cecco has developed, in the well balanced group that make up his band, symphony orchestra of stature unusual in the ordinary amateur group. The assemblage of the various choirs, has smoothness not generally found in such bands. There is at all times professional touch to their performances; per- formances which improve with each succeeding concert and which merit such a reception as was given them last night at the conclusion of each selection.
 The first part of the program in- cluded Bach's "Jesu, Joy of Mans Desiring" which was played with

COURT TO DECIDE
 FATE OF STORE
Stockholders, Creditors of Hewitt Company Given
 Court Notices

The question of whether the Hewitt Grocery Co.,, one of the city's oldest business firm will continue in business will be decided by Judge Carl Foster in the Super for Court within short time.
 Atty. Walter Torrance told Judge Foster at this mornings short cal- endar session of the Superior Court that the firm is losing money con- tinuously and that Louis Schick, receiver for the company, is of the opinion that business should be terminated by The Hewitt concern, whose store at the corner of West and North Main streets is rated to be one of the most beautiful and best equipped in the state.
 Atty. Torrance stated that the business was operated at loss of $40 last month and that if fees owed the receiver and counsel for the receiver were paid the company would have a shortage amounting to approximately $1,2OO.
 Atty. Richardson Bronson, who said he represented a creditor, stated that the question of how much the Hewitt property and equipment would deteriorate if the store is closed should be considered.
 Judge Foster said that it has been his experience that when bus inesseS are operated at loss in the hope for one last chance of making good" money is lost.
 He said he thought however that all stockholders and creditors should be given an opportunity to have their say in court and continued the case until next Friday with the understanding that all who wanted to be heard would be heard.
 He instructed Atty. Torrance to send out notices on or before next Monday, notifying all creditors and stockholders that the case will be heard in court next Friday.

PROPERTY TAX A REAL DANGER
Some Levies More Than Investment Returns,
 Survey Shows
(NEA Telephoto)

Washington, April 5.-Unless something of a definite nature is done to keep down mounting real estate taxes levied by states and other political bodies, there is dan ger of serious slowing down of home building activities in many parts of the country, according to the privately expressed views of business leaders as well as govern ment officially primarily interested in construction
 AS an illustration of the serious ness of the situation, references is made to survey of properties ac- quired in New York State recently by the Home Owners Loan Corpo- ration. A study of the local tax burden of 300 properties selected at random revealed an average effec- tive tax rate of 57 per cent, which is, of course, much more than the investment return on many proper ties.
 According to those who have been studying this situation, the growing tax burden gradually is wiping out the benefits of lower building costs that being effected through im- proved construction technique and more advantageous financial ar- engagements.
 One of the great dangers in the situation, in the opinion of many expert observers, lies in the fact that the mounting burden of taxes tends to discourage investment of funds in real estate. This pertains both to individuals and to institutions, and tends to stagnate the entire real estate market.
 In the opinion of many students of the current picture, the most inn portant question now waiting an answer is how to check the ever in- creasing load of local taxes on prop erty.
 In twenty-two states definite movements are under way to secure legislative relief
 Meanwhile a joint conference of five national organizations in the real estate field has been called to meet in Washington April 25, 26 and 27. The conference will be presided over by Myers Y. Cooper, of Cin- cinnati, former governor of Ohio.
 The organizations which have joined together to fight excessive property taxation and which will be represented at the joint conference in Washington are the National Grange, National Association of Building Owners and Managers, Mortgage Bankers Association of America, National Apartment Own CTS Association and the Natoinal Association of Real Estate Boards.

taste and restraint; very interest ing arrangement of Rossini's La Scala di Seta" with notable effects in the arrangement of the various instruments was next heard and proved an agreeable piece, and a fine contrast to Bach and Beethoven between which two composers it was happily placed. The Beethoven No 5, as we previously remarked, was a commendable achievement in it's eX- ecution by the orchestra, and which was briefly analysed in program folder. It was pleasure to note the general evenneSS of tone in the string choir, the woodwindS and brasses, too, adding depth and tone and each predominating at some time or another in the presentation of the main and secondary themes. The percussives distinguished them selves in the Fifth, and in the final allegro-presto movement a d d much to the character of the piece. The contrasting movement, the an- dante con moto, in song style was likewise admirably done. The per- formance of the entire work was worthy of high praise, both in the technique of the players and in the style. MT. Di Cecco is tov be con- graduated on this single perform ance which was worthwhile and ar tistic.
 Request Numbers
 In the second half of his pro- gram the orchestra played two se- lections that were given during an- other season and which were spe- cial requests on last nights pro- gram. They were Strauss overture to Die Fledermaus," always an agreeable orchestra number, and the Norwegian composer Halvorsen's spirited March of the Bojars." Here again the drums were featured to their advantage as they were in the final program number "Bolero" by Ravel, which piece with its repeti- tiouS theme and meticulous rhythm was given commendable perform ance, all instruments arriving at the climax with a satisfying fortissimo. This composition was neatly done as was the Triumphant Entry of the Bojaren, in which pieces as we said, the percussives gave good serv- ice. Tschaikowsky's "Andante Can- tabile'' was the other selection in- cluded in this part of the program. This portion of the program had a distinct appeal and the variety and novelty were pleasing.
 Richard Deneau sang two operatic arias which gave him ample oppor- tunity to display voice of agree able quality, well placed, and used with discrimination. He sang, o Paradise" from Meyerbeer's LAfri- cano," with taste and dramatic ex- precision, which also marked his singing of "Salut demeure" from Gounod's Faust" He has a wide range and an agreeable vocal qual- lty and has accomplished much in vocal skill since taking up the art of singing. MT. Deneau was warm ly received and sang two encores m which he was accompanied at the piano. The orchestra accom- panied him in his program num- bers.
 The playing Of the Fifth Sym phony by Beethoven was dedicated to the memory of the late William D. Plerson of this city, musician, and distinguished patron of music here over a long period of years.- M. N.

CONDITIONING

SelectiVe air conditions and controlled
humidity feature the 1910 General
Electric refigerators for which Pete's
Garage is the Ely distributor.
So that each type of food may be
stored in conditions best suited for it's
individual requirement, General Elec-
trio provides selective air conditions and
controlled humidity. The introduction
of humidity control is an added refine
ment to a method of food preservation
which many tests and analysis have in
dicated to be very effective and eff
Gent
The refrigerator keeps the air fresh
and revitalizes it by passing it through
the active carbon of an air filter,
thereby retaining the individual tastes
and flavors of the various foods in the
refrigerator
An ingenious spring arrangement be-
tween the cold storage dish and its
tray-top cover automatically permits
greater circulation of cabinet air within
the compartment as larger amounts Of
meat are stored. This prevents ex-
cessive humidity. The crisping COM
partment for vegetables has an ad-
Unstable humidity control to meet vari-
Gus food storage conditions.
