WAY TO READJUST
OYSTER GROUND
TAXATION
Former Governor Would Let Board of
Eqnaliza ion Do it.
Woodruff Stands Pal on Message Cites
Big Income Derived by Rhode
Island.
The problem of how to bring- about
former Governor Rollln S. Woodruff's
recommendation for a more Just taxa
tion of the oyster grounds of the state
and which is now before a committee
of the legislature. is a very simple mat
ter, according- to the statement of Gov
ernor Woodruff made yesterday. It
simply requires the repeal of the pres
ent laws and placing- the power of tax
ation in the hands of the board of
equalization which now assess the .
taxes against an otner income giving
corporations to the state.
When interviewed Governor Wood
ruff stated that his position had not
changed one iota from the stand he
had previously made on the taxation
of the oyster grounds. He recited
how Rhode Island with one-fourth of
the acreage of Connecticut gets an in
come of over $100,000 a year and this
state gets only $9,000 or thereabouts.
The trouble in this state is that while
Connecticut sells Its oyster grounds
for $1 an acre Rhode Island leases its
ground at an annual rental of from $5
to $10. The question is therefore one
of taxation in this state with the fur
ther query as by whom the taxation
shall be made.
"Under the present system." said the
governor. "The clerk of the shellfish
commissioner is the assessor. The
commission itself is simply a board of
relief or a board of appeals. There
are mortgages on many of the Connec
ticut grounds that are for many times
the amount of the tax assessments and
valuation and therefore It must appear
that the assessment is somewhere
I wrong. The question before the legis
! lature is how can a solution bm arrived
I at. As a possible suggestion and one i
which I think is very practical I be- j
lieve that the repeal of the law making
I the clerk the assessor and the com- I
missloners a board of relief and a new I
law placing' the powers with the board
of equalization would solva the prob
lem. "The board of equalization now fix
es the taxes paid to the state by all
railroad, street railway Turance com
panies and in fact all inpmlng pro
ducing sources of the state. Why
shou'dn't it then fix the assessments
I on the oyster industry as it does on
other business. I think it is the prop
er body to have charge of this matter.
The state then will get its just due
from this industry. That in my opin
ion would be the most simple way out
of it and have the best results for all
concerned."

TROUT SEASON
OPENS TODAY
It is a Warm April 1 and Speckled Beaut
ies Should Bite.
The trout season opens to-day!
With many a lingering thought in
his mind has the fisherman for some
time past awaited this welcome cap
tion, and it is certain that nothing
short of a deluge of rain and the oth
er elements of nature will prevent one
of the biggest exoduses of the
"knights of the rod and reel" from
shaking off the cares of their abode
and "beating" it to the banks of the
rivulets and streams so abundant in
the vicinity of Bridgeport.
This has not been a severe winter
and there is no snow on the ground,
even in remote country districts, so
that the brooks will "open up" early
this spring, according to opinions and
signs for good or bad outlooks in the
fishing arena.
If the weather remains cold at the
opening of the season it is doubtful if
very many of the speckled beauties
can be tempted to rise for a fly, but
if the weather is warm and the water
warms up a bit, trout will approach
nearerthe surface. This is what ex
perts f the rod say, and they ought
to know.
T.nrl dealers in fidiinv -,..o
hooks and lines say that there have

THREE THOUSAND CH1CA10
WORKERS GO ON STRIKE
Special from United Press.)
Chicago, April 1. April was uhered
In with a strike of 3,0(Kmen of various
trades and with threats thalThe trou
ble will spread to several thousand
more. Refusal of the employers to
grant higher wages and shorter work
ing hours caused the strikes. Most of
the men out are members of the vari
ous building trades.
Strikes of the steam fitters and gro
cery clerks are the most serious of th-3
disturbance. The steam fitters and
helpers recently demanded a wage in
crease from $4.75 to $5.70 a day. The
employers refused it and at a big
mass meeting last night one thousand
members of the union pledged them
selves to strike today.
Simultaneously one thousand electri
cal workers declared a str'ke on firms
who have not sisned the new scale of
$5.50 a day. A cris's was precipitated

The attraction to-morrow afternoon
and nizht is Creator and his band,
one of the greatest musical organ'za
tlons now before the concert public.
In presenting Creatore to the music
loving audiences In various cities, it
is with the utmost confidence that he
will fully maintain the reputation he
now enjoys on both side of the Atlan
tic, aa the foremost artist of the day
in his line. Seldom enough in any city
are music lovers privileged to listen
to Instrumental music of such peculiar
charm and interest as that heard at
the Creatore concerts. Everyone ad
mits these entertainments to be unique,
and careful students of music in every
large American city and in many
places In Europe have admitted the
educational value of listening to and
studying Creatore In his masterly In
terpretation and striking performances
of the grandest .works of the music
masters. Creatore's tours during fh
past nine years have included every
city of importance in America and
Canada, and in March and April, 2j06
England was visited, a long series of
concerts in Queen's Hall, London, be
ing followed by a tour which includd
the principal provincial towns. Eng
lish audiences appreciated Creatore,
and were greatly impressed by the
plaving of the band, which was de
clared to be of the highest merit or
any American or European band heard
in London.
Moving pictures are now recognized
as one of the finest, most agreeable
forms of entertainment, given at the
lowest possible minimum of cost. Many
of the leading theatres of the entire
country are eiven up entirely to this
class of amusement, and counties',
thousands of dollars are expended ev
ery week upon the further develop
ment and production of the pictures,
in order to meet the pressing condi
tions for new topics and new ideas.
Many fine pictures are shown in this
city, but there are none to compare
with those which are occasional'y dis
played at this theatre, nor is any
where the same exceptional amount or
quality of entertainment provided for
as little money as here. These p'c
tures, together with two of the latest
illustrated songs, well rendered, will
again hold the attention of the public
Saturday of this week, from 1:30 to 5
in the faternoon, and from to iu.u
in the evenins. A bill of exertional
excellence will be provided, with pic
tures which have never before been
in -Rrlds-nort. It is a form of
amusement which no one may despise,
or look upon as "cheap." Certainly it
is cheap in price, but In quality, it is
far superior to many of the dramat'c
or musical entertainments of the
present day.

New Haven, April L Plans have
been completed, it was said yesterday,
for the electrification of the New Ha
ven road from Stamford to this city
and work will be begun at once on a
powerhouse on the Housatonic river at
Naugatuck Junction, on the main line.
This news came out at the trial of a
suit for $10,000 damages against the
railroad, brought by Mrs. Henrietta
Law, who complains of the smoke
from a roundhouse.
Vice-President E. H. McHenry made
the statement in court that these
roundhouses will soon be closed. New
roundhouses will be erected on the
meadows near Cedar Hall for the
steam engines. The old buildings will
be refitted and remodeled for the stor
age of electric motors.
The new power station which will
supply electricity will be on the water
front, so that coal and other supplies
can come by water. In two years,
Mr. McHenry said, all passenger trains
between New Haven and Stamford will
use electricity. The New Haven road
experts are unanimous in their opin
ion that the electrical operation be
tween New York and Stamford is a
success.
The shore line division will be equip
ped to Boston as soon as possible af
ter the work to New Haven is completed.
