Removal of Fee Sys-
tom 0 v e r Bridges
i Leaves those with
Book out of Luck
HARTFORD. Jan. s.——“‘ith the
official removal Tuesday of the fee
system for passage over the three toll
bridges In Connecticut. many in-
quiries have been received at the
State Capitol concerning the atti-
tude of the state on unused toll com-
mutation books. Those have been
(1 extensively during the year by
persons who traversed the bridges
frequently and the question of a. re-
! d to them for the portions of the
filed books has been raised.
Highway Commissioner John A.
Macdonaid has ruled that the high-
way department will be unable to
consider the matter of a refund to
purchasers of the books. for the
reason that the. department has no
money available for the purpose. It
is not generally known that the
law has required that receipts from
tolls over the various bridges and
ferries be turned into the general
fund of the state.
The money docs not become a part
of the fund of the State highway
Commission. In those circumstances.
therefore. anyone holding unused
commutation books after December
31' must of necessity be referred to
the state comptroller or treasurer.
Lie highway department points out.
'1‘ 0 only apparent method of redress
in the case is through the comptrol-
ler or the claims committee of the
:5 session of the General As-
igmbly.

John D. lockefeller. Sr. is playing
'his daily round of golf on the. (')r-

successive winter. and although the
season scarcely has started. early
visitors are forming daily galleries
to follow him over the course. They
are curious to know why he plays
only eight liolcs. how he plays. how
far he drives: how he is lll‘t'SSf‘li for
the game. and if he realy gins away
dimes when he makes a good shot.
“’hy he quits at the eighth hole al—
ways has seemed mystifying to golf-
ers. who believe that any good game
of golf should end either at the ninth
or islll llole. liut after following
him for a. round or two. llis rcason
for stopping at the eighth hole is
seen to he a. matter of logic rather
than of luck of strength.
The ninth hole on the course
brings a. player back in the direction
of the club TlOllSt! or starting point.
But the Ormond Beach course being
one. of the-oldest in the state is laid
ollt in the old style. and the ninth
hole. is a considerable distance from

"Then all of a sudden I heard

Then she ran into the room where,
Dines had been sitting and found
him lying on the floor wounded.
She could think of no motive for
the shooting of Dines by her chauf-
