Release Suspect
DANBL'RY, Conn., May 23.-——The
State Police have released Harry
‘Johnson. nodding furmhand, who
. had been detained in the village lock-
. up in llidgctlcld since Saturday. by
. order-of Coroner John J. Phelan.
while investigation was made as to
'the possibility that he possessed
knowledge that might throw light
upon the murder of George Hulta at
. Topstone. eight miles south of this
city. on the night of May 4th.
Johnson has been able to present
an acceptable alibi. The state police
ascertained that his statement that
he spent the night of May 4th in the
railroad station at Branchville. about
3 miles from the scene of the crime.
. was correct.
It developed today that the police
found what appeared to be blood
stains upon the man's dos: and a
blood stained handkerchief in his
pocket. The stains upon the coat
were found by a chemist to be human
blood but evidently had been upon
the mment a long time. The stains
upon the handkerchief were from a
wound upon Johnsons' face.
It is hoped that the inquest. which
will be held Friday afternoon will de-‘
velop new information that may
throw light upon the crime. which is
still a. complete mystery. so far as
the identity of the slayer of Bull: is
concerned.

"I think much of our trouble in

other vehicles that have no bueineifl

unuslly using the street as a. thor-

"if this were done we could have

traffic moving one way woufl be to
station a traffic policeman at Water
street. In this way all traffic would
move from North and South Main
streets through Washington street
and out either through Haviland
street or Marshall street. And for
sutoisis who desired to go to East
Norwaik they could reach the bridge
either through Marshall street or
through Haviiand street.
"I realize that the condition of
those two streets is not the best but
travelling through those streets would
be safer and faster than crowding

could be done until the street is wid-

To anyone with a grain of sense
it is sadly seen that the tax bill this
year will not be low ones. but that
does not necessarily mean that they
will be extra; high. either. the grand
list having increased.
There are a number of matters that
will call for large sums of money to be
appropriatedgamong them the pro-
posed Washington and Main street

recommendations of the special com-
mittee to‘investigathe fire department
matters here. >
There are more departments which
are. asking for money this year than
last. and if a proportional increase is
granted it will mehn that more money
is needed thisryear than last.
“'ith the grand- list having been in-J
ereascd,.the tax payment may be
higher. but the tax itself will not be
out of proportion to the benefits to
be reoeived. This idea is not readily
assimilated by many. who believe that
if they had a house valued at £1,500
last year. and paid $10 taxes on it. and
then this year paid $16 on the house
and property in taxes. they are paying
an increase in taxes. It might be
that the assessment on the house had
been raised to 82.500, whereas the
tax rate had not increased propor-
tionately. although more money was
being paid in taxes this year than last.
The amount of money paid in taxes.
and the tax rate. are often seized up-
on by clever politicians as a means to
create confusion. and so every voter
who pays taxes should investigate the
taxes against his or her property, to-
gather with the rate. and find out
