Overtures to buy Rogers & Peet property near Putnam Park
In Redding, a Danbury man acting for unnamed New York interests considers paying $50,000 plus for the 70 acre Rogers & Peet property adjoining Putnam Park. Frank R. Chambers, former owner, seeks $6,000 and has rejected higher offers. Rumors tie Jacob Schiff and Nathan Strauss to the bid, possibly for an orphan asylum project or water company use. No sale steps yet, and opposition to state purchase in past is noted.

Profits tax may survive the war say analyst
Yale economist T. S. Adams told the American Economic Association that the excess profits tax could outlast the war if it succeeds as a progressive income tax on business.
