At the next meeting of the city
council the committee in charge of
the renaming of streets will favor-
ably recommend that West street be
renamed Flax Hill Road. A public
hearing on the matter was held last
. night in the city hall. There was a
large attendance. During the course
of the evening It was brought out that
all of the residents on the street fav-
ored the change; that there was con-
staut confusion experienced because
of the similarity of names between
West street and West avenue, and
that the petitioners were only asking‘
for the maturation of the old historic
name.
Those who spoke before the culli-
mittee comprising Highway Commit—
.teeman E. G. Murphy. City Engineer
George A. Sherron, and Councilmen
.ll.rGanung and . G. D. Russell,
were: Mrs. Alex J. Rummler, Mrs.
‘E. G. Wilkinson, 1. S. Jennings, and
Mil-ts Minerva Nash.
Mr. .Murphty, highway committee-
nian, stated he would make the favor-
able recommendation to the council,
which has the sole power to re-nrime
streets, the Jurisdiction of the com-
nilttee ending at the recommendation.

A scenic boulevard, skirting Long
Island Sound, from Seaside Park,
Bridgeport, to New York City, is a
dream and project which has been
conceived by the. boilrd orspark com-
missioners of Bridgeport, and toward
which they are laying their future
plans. Norwalk would be included in
the boulevard, which would be 75
miles of the finest scenic highway in
the country.
Towns and cities west of Bridgeport
are expected‘to cooperate with the
Bridgeport commissioners with regard

Case of llonvalii Fisherman Who
is Charged With Catching
“Shorts" Ileard
When is a lobster?
That is the question which was
fought out all day yesterday and will
that '
occupy the attention of Judge John
,J. Walsh in the criminal common
‘pleas court in the case of the state
‘ versus Aaron Stevens, in which he is
{charged with selling undersized crus-
taceaiis.
The legal length at which lobsters
may be caught and sold is four and
one-half inches. Stevens is charged
with selling them under this length.
One of the arguments yesterday was
that Game Warden Wilbur F. Smith
of Norwalk measured the lobsters
after their "noses had been broken
length an inch or so.
lmbsters are measured from the
ends of their noses to the end oi
,their tails, it was testified yesterday.
Mr. Stevens was filled $10 and
costsrin tile.__._\'orwulk city court. lie
had entered a plea of not guilty and
to the common pleas tribunal. If
ithe case is decided against lilln,
lluetins that Mr. Slevciis' license, is
'sued by the fish and game commis-
isioii, may be revoked. Therefore, be
its anxious for vindication of the

tExperi Cohen Again Talks on
Ways to Obtain Better Service
“What we need to make this hos-
pital campaign a success." said Mr.
Cohen. the hospital expert, in his talk
at the Regent Theatre, "is the till-
dlvided support of the public. This
is going to be the great problem in
the movement, and we need tilts kind
of support, far more than the support
of the dollar."
Statements such as these. were the
general gist of the interesting address
delivered yesterday afternoon, by Mr.
Cohen before a good sized audience.
Mr. Cohen spoke very freely and
forcibly on the present hospital sys-
tem. and the feeling of the general
public in regard to the system. He
scored the ambulance again in this
lecture, and said that in one case, of
which he himself had taken special
notice, it had taken the ambulance
just thirty-seven minutes to get start-

'the corporation tax law, relating to
Itlie payments of taxes by so-called
frniscelianeous corporations will be

{to determine the points of law. The
ilaw was passed at the last general
‘assembly. Attorney General George
H. tHlnman brought the suit iii the
. superior court yesterday before Judge
i'l‘uttie, and the judge has been asked
to request the supreme court for its
opinion. About forty corporations

iinvolved. A test case has been maul:
out against the United Electric Light

lam r‘. lieiiney of llartford, is counsel
lfor the defendants.
? it is alleged that the companies ill-
'volved have refused to pay the full
Eamount of the corporation tax, which
{was due last fall. The companies
tiled. some time ago, a special answer
l-l the attorney general's first action.
Mr. llinuian cited the law which res
quires the “liiisct-llaueous corpora-
tions" to pay an annual tax upon the
gross earnings from operations. The
companies claimed that they were ens
titled to certain reductions, as fol
lows: from incidental operations;
payments out of the capital and a
general deduction of all operating ei-
peiiscs.
The attorney general filed a demur~
rer, and arguments on the case have
been heard for several days. it was
finally agreed to take the matter up
to the highest tribunal in the. state. it
;ls said, unofficially that the amount
which would be due the state, if the
tcompanles are required to pay the tax
Its ill the neighborhood of $100,000.
It is considered probable that the
,matter will reach the supreme court
