Since Marriage of 15 Year Old Girl To Edward
W. Browning Court Could See No Purpose
of Investigation.
NEW YORK. April 16.-(AP) The
improper guardanship case involv-
ing Mrs. Katherine Heenan and her
daughter. Frances. 15 year old bride
of Edward W. Browning. 51. wealthy
real estate operator. was dismissed
in Children's Court today.
The complaint. which Mrs. Brown-
ing was called. with her mother. to
answer this morning. was entered by
the Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Children. prior to the
marriage. Justice Hoyt said ho felt
that an investigation now could
serve no useful purpose.
Neither Mrs. Browning. her hus-
band. her parents. nor attorneys rs-
presenting them. were in court when
the case was called. After waiting a
few minutes a court clerk hollowed
out “Are there any witnesses in the
Frances Keenan case present ?"
There was no response. The at-
tendants informed Justice Hoyt the
. 3 result of his query and then the case
“I,"
was formally dismissed. The proced-
ure wee merely technical and Jus-
tice Hoyt. stated in dismissing the
case that the witnesses were inform-
'ed their presence was not necessary.
after a representative of tho Chlld- ,r
ren's Society yesterday brought cer-
tified records to the court from
Putnam county. proving that Brown-
ing and his child wife were legally
married.

TAX DISPUTE
Mayor Insists Fourth
District Pays More
Than Its Share of
Taxes.
Six members of the charter revi-
sion committee and seven taxpayers

changes in the city charter. The
session lasted about an hour and a
half. Calvin Barton. former mayor.
was chairman of the meeting.
Harold Murray. one time treas-
urer of this city. offered several sug-
gestions. He believed that the first
district should have three council-
man instead of two. He said he did
not like the idea of incorporating
the fifth district into the fourth.
Mr. Murray recommended that all
taxes on businesses. autos and
motorboats be paid when due. lie
said that many people relieve them-
selves of this tax when they sell out
before paying the fees.
Mr. Murray made several other
suggestions. Ho said that all tax
payers should be allowed to talk
at council meeting. He did not be-
iieve in the consolidation of the
water works. He urged the abolish-
ing of tho oillcc of city treasurer.
and said the treasurer is now a

Summary-Treasurer
Such a splendid climax to
‘27) years of unceasing effort
as comes to the South Nor-
walk Trust. company today
must he of particular satis-
faction to Charles 1'3. lloyt,
secretary and treasurer. who
has been the principal in-
dividual factor in the suc-
cess of the. institution.
In fact "Charlie" Hoyt
has been almost. synomymous
with the South Norwalk
Trust company, so closely
Iiaxo the two lwcn identiti-
twl (luring all those years.
The bank. as it stands to-
: day. is a tribute to the work
and foresight, of many but
above all to Mr. lloyi.
The South Norwalk Trust company threw open its doors for .1
house warming at. 1 o’clock this afternoon to mark the com-
pletion of its new home and to enable the public to join in the
bank's celebration of its 25th anniversary.
Friends of the bank sent many
handsome floral pieces which were
on display and a. stream of inter-
ested citizens began to visit the
bank curly this afternoon. The for-
mal opening ceremonies will con-
tinue until 8 this evening.
About a year has been spent in
renovating the bank building so
that it is a new structure in almost
every respect. and today the bank ,
presented the aspect of a brand new.
structure, one of the handsomcet in
the city. .
he interior has a richness that
en es from a choice selection 7

island on will on .
draperies and othe

Every department in the basis has ;
been enlarged and in most instances :
facilities have doubled. so that cus-.
tomers may he waited on more ex-
peditiously in the future and the
work of .the bank can be done with
web. comb." "t
trimmings to .‘
give a domestic, homeziike atmosv
greater comfort and efficiency by",
its employees. I
in the new quarters the bank haei
taken thought for the convenience i
and comfort. of its customers as well‘
as for their necessities. This is socnl
in scores of ways. such as the “""l
Ladiee' room. the private rooms for‘
those who have safe deposit boxes.
and a conference room for custom-
ers. incidentally the bank can now;
take care of 1.000 safety deposit}
customers. Changes made ‘elso per-
mit much more space to be given
over to tho storing of valuables. an
item which is larger than most
people would. think. There is a large
demand. and a growing one. for
space in which silverware. gold and
other precious things may be kept
while the owners are away from
home where such things are usual-
ly kept.
New Vault a Beauty.
Most visitors will perhaps be more
impreued by the new vault than
any other one item. Not only is it a
inagniflccni: piece of steel work
but. there is a fascination about the
huge 17 ton door which is so care-
fully hung and a child can push it.
Pushing 17 tons' isn't something a
person can do with one hand every
day.
The building committee is cer-
tainly to be congratulated on the
job that came to a' oonci on to-
