The consolidated board of health
yesterday approved a change in
seafood regulations making it il
legal for anyone to sell non-certi-
fled seafoods to private homes, DR..
A. H. Elliot, health officer, re-

sale, he said.
previous regulations permitted
each housewife to be her O w n
judge, if she wanted to purchase
non-certified seafood products for

New regulations, as adopted by
the board of health, makes the
selling of non-certified seafood to
anyone Illegal" he said.

ment of the sewerage being

ing made of the situation there

gree of pollution along every 20
mile point on the river between
Wilmington and Fayetteville.

Wilmington is, of, course, the
natural focal center of commercial
and social activity of Camp Davis;
hence it is convenient that the
men who will not have quarters al
the camp proper will want to live
comparatively close to Whining

ficers and a goodly percentage OF
the non-commissioned officers will
have their families with them.

BRITISH TAXABLE
 PROPERTY IN CITY
.$l83,3lS Worth Here, Claims Sen. Danaher;
 $24,13O,OOO in Conn.

The British government owns taxable property worth $l83,3lS in Waterbury, according to U. s. Sena- tor John A. Danaher In a statement opposing a proposed treaty whereby British-owned property would be tax exempt. The Waterbury hold ings, believed to be in the form of factory machinery and equipment, are only tiny fraction of the total of $24.l30,000 worth of property which Britain is credited with own ing in Connecticut.
 There seems little chance that the proposed treaty will be adopted. It has been strongly opposed by a number of senators and may be in- definitely pigeonholed.
 Senator Danaher declared yester- day at Washington that the British embassy had disclosed that property owned by the British Purchasing Commission in Connecticut includ- ed $l0,520, 900 at Hartford, $7,Oi6,226 at New Haven. $6,400, 0,399 at Bridge port, $lo.000 at Danbury, and $lS3 ,SlS aV WhteEOuIy.
 No Records Here
 Several months ago, when Attor. ney- General Francis A. Pallotti had ruled that property owned by the British government was not tax ex- empt, the ofilce of the local board of tax commissioners sad that its records showed no British-owned holdings here.
 Senator Danaher said that the embassy had informed him that BritiSh-owned property in the state included $S25, 900 in real estate, $2i,- : 0S7,000 in machine tools, and $2,- S75,o00 in jigs and d.eS.
 In his statement against the treaty, Senator Danaher declared that Connecticut would lose large revenues, not only from property taxes but also from corporation and other taxes.
