Harriman asked if Officer Ma­honey had checked the records ot the boys. He asked it they had any records connected with bur­glary. Prosecutor Charles Cope-land objected.. Defense Counsel said that the Slate has to estab­lish inlent and the court over­ruled the objection, saying coun­sel could establish background.

Officer Torello was then call­ed to the stand. He concurred with earlier tesllmony and the state rested Its case.

Attorney Hai'rlnian then called On John Reed who said he and. his companion didn't know the objects were In the car. Edward Rlollno then took the stand. In answer to a question of the l^ro-secution, "What do you do with your time?", he replied, "No­thing."

The Court agreed with Attor­ney Harriman that it was a seri­ous charge. In its finding the court .said "The Court feels the atate has brought forth to light .clrcum-stances that we want to keep within the jurisdiction of this courl. The officers should be commended for their very thorough investigation." T h e guilty finding was then announc­ed and the suspended sentences Imposed.

Edward Willlanis of New York icted In his own behalf, pleading tnnocent ot a charge of evading Tesponsibllity. Edward Snurkow-skl ot High Street testified he heard

iiouse on Novembei' 19, looked out and saw a blue moving van moving alongside his car. The truck failed to stop, he said, and ho took the marker number. Th„ collision caused damages of about 5220 to his car, he said.

Court Dismisses Weapons Charge ^^h^f'Cifar(3li

Fnllui'e of ihc State to produce evidence linking objects found in the automobile of Lawronce Cl-farclll to a crime, resulted Satur­day in the dismissal oC charges against the 20-yGai* old North High Street resident.

Cifarelli was arrested in Octo­ber and was charged with carry­ing weapons in a motor vehicle. After several continunnces the charges were heard Saturday; by Town Cou'rt Judge James Gart-land who ruled for dismissal on the motion by. defense attorney William Fox Geenly.

In presenting tho State's case Prosecutor Charles Copeland call­ed on Officer William Mahoney iollowing the plea of not guilty entered by Mr, Geenty.

Shortly after-Officer Mahoney took the stand Mr. Geenty start­ed raising a number of objec­tions, testing tho admissability of certain points in Officer Ma-honey's testimony, and the que.s-tions asked by Mr. Copeland. Through his objections Mr. Ge­enty closed several lincK of ques­tioning to Mr. Copeland by ask­ing for a rigid enforcement of the rules of evidence.-

Questioning of Officer Mahoney disclosed that Mahoney found the Clfai'elll auto on Granniss Street about 7 or 8 o'clock Ocloljer 23, and an inspection of the car turned up several objects offered Jn evidence IJJ* Mr. Concland.

In submitting the objects Mr. Copeland described one as "black­jack-like" which drew the ob­jection of Mr. Geenty that same article could be called an "or­nament." Upon ruling of the court upholding the objection, it was called an object.

Following t h e prosccutlon'u questions, Judge Garlland briefly queried {he officer, then Vros* ecutor Copeland told the Court (ho officer was the only f-tale witness, '*We base our case on the presence of tho objects in tho car."

Attorney Geenty then moved for a discharge, contending the state failed to prove its case.

In making the i-ullng Judge Gardand said, "There is no dnuht in the mind of the court that these ohjects are dangerous wcnp-ons, but the court agrees with counsel the stale hasn't proved the objects ^connected with a crime. Much to the regret of the Court it must go along with Counsel, but the court wants it to be known these-objects are dangerous,

"By Grace of God and good counsel . . . with regret . the

crash right outside his court discharges the case."

Football Formal Is Bright Spot Of School Year

One of the brlghtc-s- occasions of the school year Is the Football Formal which closes the season for the team. The grand style of all the beautiful gowns and the bright decorations make the even­ing a memorable event.

The melodic sound emanating from the Gym was that of Jack L o ng 's orchestra. Artistically draped streamers in the school colors, blue and gold, gave the occasion a festive air.

Thi^ highlight of the evening was the cro\vnlng ot the Queen— Sue Owen. A senior from 209, Sue is a real peppy cheerleader and an active participant In many school activities. She wore a blue tiered net gown and looked most charming when presented a flo­ral crown by Mrs. Alvln Thomp­son.

At 11:00 the dance ended, but most of the couples then attended a party at the Weeping 'Willows.,

Comet Business Staff Is Given Credit For Work

We're proud of our school paper, "The Comet." Students work many hours collecting and composing information to make it the fine paper It is. But the "un­sung, heroes" that actually,do the necessary "leg work" are seldom given tlie credit they dcBervc. Under the guidance ot Mr. Mark Florello, the Business Staff ob­tains the ads to finance it, do all the publicity work, and then sell the issues to the school body.

Rosemarie Balsomo, Business Manager, and her helpers are the backbone of our news circulation. "Ro" is a senior from home­room 209. She is very active In extra-curi-iciilar work. The clubs and committees she ha.s joined are too numerous to mention. As s h e says, "I'm. in everything e.^eept. detention hall and the fail­ure list." She ii on the Traffic Squad, Stu­dent Council, Future Business Leaders, Varsity Show, Pioneer Business Board, and is Class His­torian.

Assisting Rosemarie is Sue De-Plno, a junior from 313. Like ^ R 6 " , Sue Is also In many school activities: The Varsity Show, Art Club, Student Council and Future Business Leaders. Sue is home room treasurer and has worked vv 11 h the Teen Canteen and Freshman Frolic Committees.

Other members of the Business Bo4rd are: Fran Quintan, Nancy Harrington, Mary Ann Nuzzo, Pat Grudzenski, Irene Frlberg, Sue Owen, Francis Scarpace, Kathy Brereton, Joan Scarpace, Pat Lui>oIt, Corrine Fapplano and Jo-Ann Fucel.

Student Tells Of Irish Life Seen On Trip

by Knihl Morgan A few years ago I was forluJiate

enough to accompany my mother on a visit to her native lond. Ire­land. I found the Emerald Isle, Willi it-" green hills and Ininioi'tal shamrocks, a simple but beauti­ful country.

In Dublin, the capital, there nic m n n y magnificent cathedrals, beautiful public bulldlng.s, modern deimrtment stores, and numerous lakes and parks which all add to the beauty of the city.

On our tour through the many lown.«. In Ireland, I discovered that an Irish home, contrary to popular thought, resembles our American homes very closely— even to all the modern conven- • lences. In an Irish home every visitor Is given the warmest wel­come, and always there Is a cup of left ready. This Irish hospi­tality, incidentally, has been ad­mired for many centuries by many different nationalities. .

The styles of the Irish people are similar to those In our coun­try, but there are a few varia-tlon.s. One main difference is the black shawl which completes the attire of the older women.

It wos a wonderful and thrill­ing experience for me and I shall never forget my trip. Nor will I ever forget my parents who made It all possible.

class has selected Miss Dorothy Kane as teacher of the month. She Is In charge of homeroom 201 and has junior and senior English,

Miss Kane attended East Haven High School and then graduated from Albertus Magnus. Reading Is her hobby and she thinks every student should do more outside reading.

Her good taste In clothes Is quite apparent, for she always wears the latest and most becom­ing styles. The attractive sweat­ers and unusal slioes that she has, catch the eyes of many a style stepper. Bright colors make up her wardrobe and always add a gay note to her classes.

We are very proud to have Miss Kane as a member ot East Haven High School faculty.

What l.s this dlscnso'with such a long name and how Is It Im-porlanl? Cystic fibrosis of Iho pancreas (usually known .simply as cystic fibrosis or pancreatic fibrosis) Is a familiar disease of Infancy and childhood. 11 Is char-, aclerl/.cd by a laclc of the pan­creatic dlgostlvn Juices and chro­nic luiiK Infection.

This e.xp.lalns the fact that those children frequently .suffer ?rom heat exhaustion In hot weather.

Naturally 11 disease ^sucli as this iH'lngs much hardship. The cystic fllirosls iirograni of the division of crippled children Is planned to offer these Connecti­cut children mid their families help in solving .some ot the prob-Iciiis Involved. Ususally hospital­ization is needed to confirm the dlagno.sls and nt times Is needed for' treatment. I^unds are avoll-able to help with this expense and also for convalescent care If needed; The greatest financial strain Is produced by the c-x-ponso ot the drugs which arc generally prescribed. Some of the more costly of those drugs are available under the stale pro­gram. Other services which-arc being provided Include medical consultation, laboratory studies, visiting nurse consultation and medical social service,

A newly-formed parents' group known as the Children's Cystic Fibrosis A.ssocIatIon of Connecti­cut has been organized. This was the first such group In the coun-li'y. It Is doing much to In-crea.se Interest In the dlseaso among the general public and to obtain other services for the vic­tims ot this 'disease.

ed of white pine. Juniper, Japan­ese black pine, arborvltae. Ivy, southern magnolia and spruce, decorated with a large variety of cones, acorns, all kinds of berries, silver balls, grapes, apples and gold and silver bells. A Delia Ro-bla wreath was very lovely.

Several Christmas legends were cleverly Illustrated with sprays, candles and angels. All shades and widths of ribbons were used most cffecttvely. The last two arrange-

unusual: the background ot greens a madona with silver leaves and candles, and a tallei-madonna surrounded by angels.

In closing, Mrs. Richards recit­ed "Silent Night," accompanied by Mrs. C. B, Lyon on the piano, on the dim, candle-lit stage. Hostesses were Mrs, C, B. Guern­sey, Mrs. William D. PInkham, Mrs. Virgil McNcI), Mrs.' Charles Nettleton, Miss Olive Pratt, Mrs. Roy Parsell, Mrs. Milton Goss, Mrs. F. R. E. Cro-ssley and Mrs. Edward Hartshorne.

Wood ashes have a high potash and lime content which is bene­

ficial to plants. Since rains leach the potash in the ashes. It Is best to keep It covered during the winter and apply It to the garden In the Spring.

December's cold, freezing winds usually bring garden chores to a close and thoughts turn to Christmas and gardening Indoors. However, there Is still time, ear­ly In the month ,to finish raking up fallen leaves, dead vegetables and other materials for your com­post pile. Mat down compost with water and sprinkle a little ground limestone over each six-Inch lay­er. Put away all tools, making sure that all soil has been re­moved. Oil or grease metal parts so they will not rust.

Polnsettlas, purchased f o r Christmas gilts, should be handled carefuly after bringing them home from the florist or green­house.

The conditions under which they were grown are very differ­ent from those In highly heated homes. Leaves may turn yellow and fall after this change of en­vironment occurs because ot a

sudden drop or-rise in tempera-ture, drafts and over - heating. Polnsettlas prefer 60 degrees dur­ing the day—slightly lower at night. Likewise, plants flower bet­ter If they receive normal day­light to keep them away from artlflcal light to prolong the life ot the blooms.

Trees need attention. Brace or

cable trees with weak crotches and limbs to prevent breakage from winter's snow and strong winds, HeavY - planted trees In exposed places may need guying.

The hardy, easy-to-grow, win­ter - blooming bulbs do not rc-qiilrc special planting equipment, a greenhouse, or even a "green thumb". With reasonable care, they'll shoot up fast and burst the heart of winter. They make the most delightful gifts of all tor people. who love flowers. Thire Is the lovely Blood Lily, you plant the huge spectacular clusters ot brilliant red flowers and luxuriant green foliage In

•January and It will be a conver-

salion piece for months. African Oape Lilies bloom in February and March. Very beautiful as a pot plant with showj', bright green foliage and reddish tubular f low, ers. French hyacinths should be planted from October to Decem­ber. The French exports are de­lightfully light and airy, howev­er, the appearance of this special now variety Is deceptive. They are hardy, and strong; grow vigorous­ly without coaxing. The narcis­sus, coladlnus. Star of Bethlehem and glorlosa are all impressive in their beauty.

Flowers which bloom from bulbs are needed in grardens. large and small. But It is, perhaps, in the small. Intimate garden that they most endear themselves to the gardener. There they can be viewed close at hand all during

the Spring, .summer ana autumn. Spring - flowering bulbs are often the first bits ot lite and color to lift the gardener's spirits. After the long winterl

"So, the next day, I stopped in at the telephone office to see the new colored phones'for myself. And I found they have EIGHT lovely decorator colors to choose from!"

O n e w a y to k e e p a t w o - d a y car ride with four b o y s , a crazy p u p and a parakee t , from b e c o m i n g m o n o t o n o u s is l o m a k e the Irek at the t ime o f year of s u d d e n w e a t h e r c h a n g ­e s . O n c e s tarted, the m o v e o f a h o u s e h o l d h a s to be carried through , n o matter w h a l j o n c e the t i m e o f departure h a s b e e n g i v e n , milk s t o p p e d , s c h o o l s lef t , g o o d b y e s sa id , a n d fair not i ce of arrival has b e e n sent o n in a d v a n c e .

There Is no remaining in state of suspension. You're both gone and coming. Properly plan­ned, al that moment, the weather gels tricky, and weather report­ers slip Into high gear.

All during this season's high winds and waters, I've had the impression of listening IQ words about the weather turned out by would-be suspense - thriller writ­ers, and rolling South, I leaned heavily on that hope.

So what if it was grey, over­cast, cold and windy? We de-iced the windshield wipers, and fitted ourselves smigsly — to say the least—into the cai-. And wlial It Ihe weather girl predicted sleet, snow and .slipper>' 'roads our first night out? We sat fed and show­ered and legs' stretched out, at last, on our motel beds in Brnn-dywlne, Md. And she looked so pretty and smiled so comforting­ly ns she gave it the old you-just-can't-tell twist.

Sure enough, you couldn't. Bui I could forecast accurately

that one boy was sure to get car sick. Half a dramamlne plus Bee-man's Pepsin Gum fixed thai. (But for future use, does anyone know how much sedative can safely be given p small beagle?)

In exchange, by test, I can vouch for working Ihe reverse of lighting birds nt night to keep them onling. Our parakeet looks no more bewildered Ihnh usual after five dark, covei-ed nigbts with short days thrown In at odd Inlen'als,

So we washed the Ice oft the "windshield the second morning and drove Into the unpredlcted sun rising and beaming kindly upon us the rest ot the way. The weather reports had served to make us grateful ,beam by beam, and made our tired and bombas­tic arrival look like a miraculous gift from the gods of chance.

• * • * * * It by now, you haven't lost

your battle'With trying to give something worthwhile for Christ­mas—as long as you are going to spend all that money for some­thing anyway—you might be in­terested in compromise plan I'm trj'Ing again this year.

It seems to me, people—that wide range of receivers of Christ­mas gifts—simplify into three classes: those who like something useful; those who use anything likeable; and those you Just can't guess about—or most ot the peo­ple most of the time.

No more, can I tit my giflees Into the poor, who need anything, or Ihe rich, who have everything. That was too ea.sy. Everyone kept fumbling In between.

Bishop Hackett Presides Tues. At Monastery Event

The Most Rev. John F . Hack­ett, D.D., auxiliary bishop of Hartford, will preside at the cer­emony of profession of .lolemn vows on Tuesday at the Monas-terj' ot Our Lady of Grace, North Guilford.

The ceremony, which is public, will begin at 10:30 a.m., with high mass celebrated by the Rev. H. Justin McManus, O.P., who will also preach the sermon. Fa ­ther McManus is chaplain of Al-bertus Magnus College in New Haven and was formerly a mem­ber of the retreat band of the Dominican Province of St. Jos­eph.

With the solemn profession ot Sr. Mary Dolores of the Holy Angels, O.I*., the strictly cloister­ed Dominican nuns will add to their ranks one more member. The.choral recitation ot these ca­nonical hours, along with perpe­tual adoration ot the Most Bless-« i Sacrament and the recitation of ihe perpetual rosary, are (he essential work for which t h e church has established this-strict cloister, the only community of women In Connecticut which has solemn vows binding each mem­ber to pray the Divine Ottlce in the name of the church.

Sr. Mary Dolores' ot the Holy Angels, who will make the vows, entered the monastery in 1951 from New York City where she had been graduated from St. Brendan's Academy and had stud­ied at Fordham University.

WAMfAOS

Tiien I decided, human nature being what It Is on both sides ot Christmas giving, I'd nllornnle between worthwhile glfls and fri­volous gifts, year by year. But that was doomed at Ihe outsel. I should have known I could nei­ther remember or hang on to a last year's Christmas list.

So came the compromise, or double action program.

For oxa}nple, I discover a boy ot ihirleeu on my list and my mind hiimedratcly leaps to high ideas of good books for growing minds, such as "The Conquest ot Man" by Paul Ilerrmnn or Joa­chim Lethallser's "Worlds Beyond the Horizon." And I think of the 13-year-old face falling when he opens my package In -the high e.vcllement of Christmas morrilng, so I carefully place on top the biggest and most repulsive pack­age ot bubble gum I can buy. Or, for that niece who just ;ilarted liousekeeplng, I'll send the sen­sible gift: bath towels or nmslln sheets, bul I'll tie It up with Ihe silliest little ceramic or Chi'Istmns tree, decoration I can find.

However, Deai- Santa, if this all seems too Involved when you come lo me, don't worry about the light touches, A practical trip to Bermuda or some hundred shares of old, gill-edge stock will he perfectly all right, thank you.

Om- th ing tha t make it difficult to arr ive nl a solution of the problem is t ha t there Is as ye t no acceptable c.stlinate of the cost of the repairs and rcconstnic t lon. The figures used by the K n a p p Conimittoe wore es t imates m a d e on the spot .- oon af te r the dls-Hslor, imd are necessarily inac-clirale in many instances. T h e r e ­fore the amount to be raised Is .spoken of ns somewhere betwoeit 30 and 35 million dollars. W e arc u.«lng Ihc figure of 30 mll-iioii.s in our riiscussion.s, as it is soiiornlly believed tha t If t he to ­tal need exceeds tlmt amount , one of .several fund-s can be tapped for two to throe millions; be­sides t l ial , between .1 and 5 mil­lions will bo forthcoming In fod-

ernl aid. Of t he 30 million dollar.';,

about half will be needed lo r e ­pair s ta te-owned roads a n d bridges; the o ther hal t will bo for town roads and bridges, and oilier forms of aid lo t he towns.

The Governor has recommend­ed rais ing the full 30 million by a 10 pei 'cent Increase on alt s t a t e ta.\cs (except t he gasoline t ax ) and by a one cent increase on cigaret tes , for a period of two years . House Republicans do not believe this is necessary and have voted to support the following p rogram:

1. T a k e 15 million dollars from the funds of the highway depa r t ­ment. Legislators close to the state financial s i tuat ion say t h a t tills can be done wi thout in terfer­ing V'itir the highway projects planned by the d e p a r l m c n t for t he c u r r e n t biennium, 195.^ - 1957.

2. Increase the sales t ax by one cent, for 6 months , which will bring in about 11 million dollar.":. This increase would r u n th rough the first halt of 1956.

3. Increase tlie corpora te busi ­ness t ax by one-half of one per­cent, for one year . This will b r ing in about -1 million, and would end Jan . 1, 1956.

4. Ex tend for one yea r the two cent increase in the ga.sollne to-x, voted in the regu la r 1955 session for a two y e a r period only. T h e purpose of this is twofold. F i r s t , It would permi t the Highway Coniniissioner to make his p lans for construct ion, and to' commit niiticipatod revctiues f rom I h e gasoline tax, r a t h e r than operate on a ca-iii basis as at present ; if that revenue is not needed (and Ilou.se leaders do not believe It will be) It will r eve r t lo ihc Highway Fund. Second, the de­par tment will never be able to itlnnie failures In completion of project,s to the fact that the legis­la ture took some of its funds.

I t is recommended in th^s p r o ­gram tha t the funds obtained from all four of tlie.'ie sources bo placed in a .separate account to be known as the Flood Recov­ery Fund, and ^ny money no t ex­pended for this purpose will be made over to the highway' de­par tment .

One of the very impor tan t things about this program Is t h a t the two t ax increases come to an end before the next session of the legislature, and the gn.i tax extension ends between sessions. Experience has shown t l i a t a tax which la. in existence when a le­gislature convenes, is a lmost In­variably continued. The Gover­nor 's 10 p e r c e n t Increase p ro ­g ram would apply to t he c u r r e n t biennium, and would sti l l bo on the books when the ' 1957 session begin.v. T h e House feels t h a t whatever method may be adopt­ed to ra i se these funds should be a t empora ry measure , adopted while prosper i ty Is wi th us, pu t Into effect a t once, paid for, and put behind us ; no t carried on in­to the fu ture , for a n y reason whatsoever.

This p rogram I have outl ined is the p rog ram of the Republican House. T h e Democrat ic Sena te is still suppor t ing the Governor 's 10 pe rcen t across- the-board t ax increase tor t he whole 30 million. C:ompromlse is clearly inevi table . I hope tha (Sovernor will agree to taking t he 15 million from the highway funds. As for t he remain ing 15 mill ion which mus t be raised by Increased taxat ion of some sort , w e in t h e House have t a k e n o u r position. We have said what we th ink is the best and fairest w a y for all t he people of Connecticut. I£ the Governor w a n t s to ra ise o the r taxes Instead, or more taxes , the responsibility will be his, and in my opinion, the House cannot s tand in his w a y too long. With the two legislative houses unde r oppo.site political control , com­promise between the two pro­g r a m s is t h e only way. W e have to pass legislation which will t ake care of t he disaster costs. We are in this special session for that purpose. We wan t to

greeting cards as wc know them, but they do hnve post cards rang­ing from plain to highly decorat­ed with birds, winter scenes, and many others Including, of course, scenes of the famous Mt. Fuji, tlie sacred mouritaln of Japan. This is the favorite scene In Jap­an and can be found on every­thing that might have occasion to be decorated. Post cards are sent as greetings for the New Year and usually ore never de­livered before the first of tho year, no matter how early they wore mailed.

For home decorallon/depending upon the financial .situation with llie family, there are several sym­bols used. Every family has liang-Ing over tho doorway — so as to be seen by passors-by — the

traditional straw pieces with or­anges. Tliese represent offerings. Bamboo Is another decoration fre­quently seen. Any number of bamboo stalks about five feet high ore lashed together and stand In front of the house. They are cut at the top so as to he razor sharp, looking a little like a picket fence. The other symbol, widely used, are the two pine trees In front of the house. All these are symbols ot congratula­tion for the fresh, new year.

The ti-adltlonal foods for this occasion are the festive rice cakes and the national wine made from rice, sake. All food Is prepared In advance of the holiday so that the housewife will be free to re­ceive guests on the New Year's day and, In turn, make her calls the second or third day. The men visit the first day and the child­ren spend the day out-of-doors playing shuttlecock with gaily de­corated paddles.

It is Imperative that one visit all relatives If possible at thl.s .•season and exchange small gifts. Tlielr gift-glving Is not nearly so lavish as our' Christmas has be­come. The visiting is more Impor­tant. Another "must" is to pay ail debts before the end of the

'llic problem, Flr.st Seleclman Doniinlck II. Forrara points out. Is primarily that of scliools. He said he [eels the only way to combat the pi'oblcni of tho rapid growth in meeting the demniids of municipal finance Is to attract now Industry.

"We ni'e detinilely working on the problem of Interesting new Industry to move to East Ha­ven'," ho sold, explaining the town Is ideally local cd on the turnpike,, wjth a prospect ot cx-cellwil highway communldallons with other parts of the state; Is on tho main line ol the New Vork, New Haven and Hartford Railroad; has easy' access to the New Haveii Airport without the problem of Netw Haven traffic, and he added, a skilled labor force could be available here.

Selectman Ferrara pointed out It takes all the tax revenue from a substantial homo to sup­port one child In school—and in many cases in new homes here) "We are getting families with more than, one child, even up to five children."

Commenting on the recent New Hnven Chamber of Com­merce estimate of East Haven population, the Selectman said, "The town Is growing faster than people realize."

S^vift Change Nothing New To East Haven

A swift change In population is nothing new In East Haven. There have been many notable changes Indicated In the 17 li"ederal census reports on this town since It was taken (roni New Haven and Incorporated In 1785.

•The first census reported 1,-025 persons In this town. Ten years later the tally had dropped by 21 then the count Increased for the nc-xt two census years be­fore falling oft again in 1830.

From 1830 on, the town grew steadily until 1880 when 3,057 persons lived here. In the year following thai census East Ha­ven decided to give away about one third ot Its territory In the Western part of Town to New Haven.

In the exchange the canny iSast Haveners cleared the town's entire Indebtedness, but by shifting the boundary East Haven lost plenty of its popula­tion. The, 1890 ceniius recorded 955 persons, a decrease of more than 68 per cent, for the ten year period, and- the smallest, count

In-

ceed the 'gi'aiiual rises In the grand list. Anticipated tax collec­tions In 1950 were $640,179.23 on a grand list of $25,634,100 at a rate ot 25 mills.

In 1954 the anticipated tax revenue had crept up to $1,180,-52-1.99 against a grand list of 533,729,265 at a tax rate of 35 mills. A comparison shows that more than a half million dollars rise In taxes had come about In five years reflected in a larger grand list In addition to an in­crease of 10 mills in the tax rate.

The net grand list growth Is partly limited because the total tax exemptions also show a sharp Increase tor the five years, dem­onstrating that many veterans are buying homes and applying for veteran exemptions in property tax assessments.

The 1950 town budget called lor an estimated expenditure of $488,742.65 for schools, whore the 1954 budget estimated a total of $754,888.82. Other town services and expenses also were reflected in the rise. In 1950 the, "others" totaled $335,798.32, building up to $669,633 in the 1954 budget.

Again In the'vicious circle, the "others" of 1954 included about $180,000 to be put toward inter­est and redemption of debt, much ot which was Incurred In build­ing needed elementary schools.

This leaves less than halt a million dollars tor conducting all the other departments of the town—a town of about 18,000 work of a necessarily light bud­get other services hove had to be other sei-vlces have had to be expanded with the population.

(Continued On Page Four)

Beitween 1890 and"1920 East Haven had regained all but a handful of ' ita former popula­tion. Then In the ten years be-' tween 1920. and 1930 tho town was In the midst of a roaring boom, building Its population by 122 per cent,,

During the 1930s another 1,200 persons were added to the town census, and in the 1940s the town leaped ahead, again in­creasing In population by a full one-third.

Now the 1950 boom Is repeat­ing the swltt forward move of the 1920s.

New Haven l^oad Wants To Drop Track Section

Application has been made by the New Haven Railroad to the Interstate Commei'ce Commis­sion for permission to abandon a small section of track al the East Haven - New Haven town line. This segment, which is 1.4 mil-. es In length, was part of the or­iginal main line ot the railroad before the building ot the East Haven tunnel in 1883. 11 now Is a dead-end spur running west from the old East Haven sta­tion, located between the road's present main line and the East Haven cutoff on Route L

Reason for the abandonment is stated In the petition to be be­cause revenues froni operation of the line are Insutticicnt to cover opei'atlng expenses, main­tenance and taxes.

Abandonment ol this track would in no way affect the nor­mal bulk-delivery service which Is available at East Haven, rail­road officials said.

Chamber President Donald Bartlett opened the meeting In the Courtroom In Town Hall and called on Judge James F. Gart-land, Judge Gartland Introduced Mr. Murray.

In opening his talk Mr. Mur­ray said, 'I want to give you an idea of what you are getting In­to."'

He said that even excluding his salary as clerk, the small claims section lost $100 during

1953. Mr. Murray estimated the expense of running such a court on the smaler volume of cases East Haven would produce the expense would be even greater.

Noting that the tec for enter­ing a small claim Is fixed at $1.50, Mr. Murray said that post­age often exceeds the revenue on a case. It Is required that no­tice be sent to each defendant In an action by registered mall, return receipt requested. This Is done at a cost ot $.50 per mail­ing he Indicated, pointing out that when more than one defen­dant is Involved the cost doubles.
