MAHANEY FAMILY
 DEAL PAPER ONE
Bank to Return Ownership With Payment Agreement
 Toward Mortgages

Property controlled by the Ma nancy family under corpora ton organized in 1910 after the death of Daniel J. Mahaney, ST., will be taken over by individual members of the remaining families and the corporation dissolved, according to Rep. Daniel J. Mahaney, who serves as clerk in the registrars office and who is custodian for tue city's voting machines.
 Rep. Mahaney indicated the transaction was merely a paper one and explained the bank would return ownership of the property to the family with an agreement for payments on a monthly basis toward the mortgages.
 The property, which was con- trolled by the corporation, consists of holdings on 768-804 and 1909 Bank street, this city. Two other pieces of property are in Ansonia on Liberty and North Main streets.
 The five remaining survivors who agreed to liquidate the corporation and operate the properties as in- d1vlduals are: Mrs. Norah Mahaney Harris of New Haven; Catherine R. and Agnes c. Mahaney, both of 17 Chestnut avenue, this city; Mrs. J. P. Fleming of New York city, and Rep. Mahaney.
 Mrs. Harris is vice-chairman of the Democratic state central con- mittee.
 The corporation was formed by members of the family so better control and operation could be su1 pervised over the property.
 The Waterbury Savings bank re- ceived the transfer of the property Tuesday and at the same time re- leased 15 mortgages on the prop erty dating from 1869. The prop erty is valued over $70,00o accord ing to stamps on quit-claim deeds filed with the town clerk.

TONY ZAZZARO OF
 HARTFORD LOSES
Brewer, Politician Had B Counts Against Him on
 Liquor Laws

' Hartford, Conn, July 3-(UP)- Tony Zazzaro, Hartford brewer and politician, charged with 8 counts of violating the state liquor laws by extended credit to liquor per- mitteeS and to several persons ap- plying for liquor licenses, lost 8 Superior Court fight today to have the regulations declared unconsti- tutional.
 The Supreme Court, to which the case was reserved, issued an opinion advising the lower court to over- rule a demurrer to all g counts.
 Zazzaro contended the statutes covering the offenses were purely regulatory. He admitted the viola tions, as charged, but claimed the Legislature did not intend to de- fine & crime but to start a regula- tion, when it enacted the clause under which he was arrested early this year.
 ''This very case" said the Su- preme Court opinion, "is a good example of the evil the Legislature sought to eliminate. The demurrer admits that this defendant, a stockholder in a brewing company, extended credit to thirteen differ ent permitteeS. Whether the money thus secured went for the purchase of liquor, or of groceries or auto mobiles. is of no consequence; the potential result was to tie the per- mittee to the brewery, and that is 8 sternly forbidden act"
 The opinion also said that Zaz- zaro was accused on ten other counts alleging 8 "like extension of credit to designated persons who secured permits during the 'life- time of the credit" The credit vio- lation included these ten instances the court held.
