Berlin’s Appeal Regarded As Poor Business Project It Would Cost New Britain $40,000 to Extend Water Mains to Kensington Have Competition, Despite an carnest First Sclectman appeal from William H. Gibney of Berlin_ it is doubtful whether Ne p itain will extend its water ma into the town of Kecnsington because of the cost. Mr. Gibney made his ap- Peal last night te the charter revision committec being assisted by Select- han J. J. FPitzsimmons. It is estimal- ed that the cost would total close to $40,000 and it is not believed that the ity feels disposed to sink that amount fOr which it would gain no immediatc bene: < +he senator and two represenia- tives of this district were criticized for not taking more interest in the work of the committee. They have attended very few meetings. No action was taken on a reques of the water commissioners for 1$200,000 bond issue as the commilte wish more explicit information re- garding the manner in which it 13 Proposed to spend the money. Action On & sewer bond issue was likewise deferred. The committee adopted an outline of a city plan commission similar to that which has been successful in oth- er cities. the Firemen's Pension and Relief as- sociation for a representative on the board of trustees which handles the ension fund. This is a big victory for *he firemen, who have been fighting or a representative for several years. In the absence of Mayor George A. uigley, ex-Mayor George M. ders presided. The others present were Judge B. F. Gaffney, President E. W. Christ of the chamber of com- merce, Corporation Counsel J. E. Coo- per, Thomas H. Kehoe, Councilman J3. I.. Teich, Councilman A. M. Paonessa, E.jH. Prior and Severin Johnson. The representatives of the Fire- men’s Pension and Relief association were Edward H. Parker of No. 1, John Schmidt of the Hook and Ladder company and William Bohlmann of No. 2. 2 Firemen State Their Case. Mr. Parker said that the delegation wds appointed on January 3 to con- fer with the committee. He said the department felt that it should have a representative on the trustees in or- ler to have a voice in saying how the money should be disposed of. Besid that, the department would like a re- port occasionally and can get it only after the close of the fiscal vear. The firemen thought such representation might be helpful to the trustees. The department would not ask for pow t 0 vote on the retirement of firemen. | t is the sentiment of .the prison sociation that the representatives ould be elected annual The members of the association are ow taxed $4 cach year and believe they should be able to keep in touch with conditions in th fund.

First Selectman Gibney in explain- Ing his desires, expressed the opin- lont that any benefits to Kensington would be beneficial to the city of New Britain and he asked that the char- ser be changed so that the city might pe able to extend its mains beyond the town line.

He said 1100 awellings, 2 brickyards, a num- | ber of hotels and some factories would | be henefited. The legislature four vears ago granted a charter to the Ber- [lin Water company, the officers of [ which are practically the same as those of the American Paper Goods { company, and this latter was supposed { to furnish the town of Kensington with | water. In Mr. Gibne opinion the | company was organized more to con- | serve the paper goods plant than to | furnish Kensington with water. It | would be necessary to lay about 11,000 ior 12,000 feet of water mains to carry | out his proposition, Mr. Gibney said. | Mr. Kehoe said he understood the "l'vx'lin Water company offered to sell out to New Britain for $20,000. | Mr. Gibney said several men were | in Berlin last week looking up a fac- | tory site and the first question they | asked was concerning the water sup- ply. In reply to a question by Judge | Gaffney he said it might be neces- i to hold a town meeting in Ber- {1lin to prosecute his plan. The lay- | ing of mains would be a big baom lfnr‘ Kensington, he said, as it would { mean the erection of at least twenty- | five new dwellings. He said there | was quite a sentiment in Kensington for annexation to New Britain. New B | Corporation Counsel Cooper dug up | the charter of the Berlin Water com- pany which said the company was em- } powered to buy water of any munici- | pality. The company has been or- | ganized, but its only official act has | been to buy an acre of land at “Tur- | key Hill.” | Judge Gaffney thought it would be unwise for New Britain to lay mains in Kensington unless it had the ex- clusive right to sell water in the | town. “It isn’t very aften you see gentle- men coming from Berlin advocating the use of water,” said Mr. Gibney facetiously. H Mayor Donovan of Meriden, then a representative, fought the Berlin | Water company’s charter, as Meriden | wanted the water rights, he said. City Plan Commission. | Clerk Prior read a brief draft of | the proposed city plan commission | which was prepared by \Corporation | Counsel Cooper. The commission se tain Would Have Rival. to consist of the mayor, chairman of the park com- mission, the city engineer and three | | citizens, who shall serve without sal- | ary. They shall be appointed by the | mayor in July, 1915, and biennially | thereafter. The commission shall have no authority to spend money un- less, authorized by the common coun- cil” Nor shall it have the authority to bind or commit the city to any plan, policy or obligation. The duties' of | | the commission shall be to inquire | into all existing conditions relating to traffic, streets, transportation and | | freight facilities, trolley lines, parks, housing plans and other kindred mat- and also as to the direction and i of the city’s probable | 8rowth and future developments as to territor population and indus- trially and to recommend to t{he | common council plans covering the above subjects. This wili prepare for | the future of the city to the end th-wtl its public and private works may be lald out and cxecuted with intelligent foresight. The above plan was adopted with the exceptions that the school board is to be represented and that the | | members of the commission are to be { appointed in such a manner that all { the members of the commission shall i never go out of office simultaneously. May Buy Berlin Land. Corpors Counsel Cooper tend- ered a résolution amending the city's right to take land for park purposes so that it will be able to acquire land in Berlin for the south end park if such action should be desirable. Judge Gaffney did not believe the legislature would grant any such right. Corporation Counsel Cooper aid the city could not buy the land without the amendment as it is not authorized to buy land for park pur- poses outside the city limits | The matter was laid on the table i until the next meeting.

This suggestion was not adopted. Corporation Counsel Cooper said th e fund should be invested in the name of the city of New Britain. motion or, Judge Gaffney's was adopted. No action was taken regarding the appeal of Kensington for water mains .as the committee wishes to hear from the water department. Tt is estimated that laying the mains would cost $40 000. It was decided to invite the wa- ter department, the selectmen of Berlin, the city engineer and the Ber- lin Water company to be present or represented at the next meeting. Mr. Landers considered the appeal a lever on the Berlin Water com- pany. Mr. Landers remarked that the committee should clean up the bu ness of the yecar. He does not an- ticipate there will be trouble in the council regarding the passage of the amendments. Represental s Rapped.

M. Sazanoff said that Great Brit- ain was bearing conscientiously the tremendous burden of her share of the war. The as ant minister of war said that Russian manufacturers were meeting satisfactorily all the demands made upon them by the government and that the army commissariat was being maintained efficiently.

The Lion, the flagship of Sir David Beatty, was the last of the bat- tle cruisers to arrive. She returned Tuesday morning, when the Arethusa and the Laurel, among the light cruis- ers, some of the destroyers and the battle cruisers Tiger, Princess Royal, Indomitable and New Zealand were already at their moorings. The Lion arrived at 11 o'clock and wag greeted with vociferous cheers by the crews of the anchored war- ships. It was a spontaneous tribute of affection to Vice Admiral Beatty and his flagship. Capt. Erdmann of the German armored cruiser Bleucher, which was sunk in the recent battle in the North sea, has been placed among the wounded, according to the Edinburgh correspondent of the Times. He is suffering from shock. The Lion and the Tiger were the only British battle cruisers that sus- tained material damage in the fight, the correspondent adds. The Lion had her speed reduced, but that soon can remedied The Princess Royal, another of the British battle cruisers which had almost as big a part in the action, the correspondent states, is practically unscathed. be PARDONS, By Wireless to Lon- M.—Two birthday de- crees of amnesty were issued by Em- peror William today, the fifty-sixth anniversary of his birth.

Washington, Jan. 27.—The first re- port of the Federal Reserve board covering the developinents which pre- ceded opening of the twelve region- al reserve banks last November and the two months in which they have been in actual operation, was sent to congress today. It announces that noteworthy results already have beep accomplished and that system now “cannot be regarded as experimental in the sense that there is any uncer- tainty as to the outcome.” No legis- lation is asked for, the board devoting its report chiefly to an outline of how the new system has strengthened the nation's financial situation “T.ess than five months have elapsed,” says the report, “since the introduction into our financial system of the most far-reaching change that has been made in the field of Ameri- national banking act. Less than two months have gone by since the Feder- al Reserve banks actually opened for business. The aystem however, is in operation and has already produced results of the most noteworthy char- | acter. | Much To Be Done. { “There 1s much yet to be done, but | the work cannot be regarded as ex- | perimental in the sense that there is | any uncertainty as to the outcome. !

Tts potential- | ities are vast and should contribute | immeasurably in the future to the | solidity, stability and flexibility of the American credit systems. | ““The question, however, naturally | suggests itself and must be frankiy | faced: what is the proper place and | function of the federal reserve banks | in our banking and credit system. On the other hand, it is represented that they are merely emergency banks to he | resorted to for assistance only in time | of abnormal stress; while on the other | it is claimed that they are in essenco simply additional banks which should compete with the member banks cs- pecially with those of greatest powe: The function of a reserve bank not to be identified with either of | these extremes, although occasions may arise when either of such courses may be imperative. Its duty plainly | is not to await emergencies but by an- ticipation to do what it can to prevent them. Wider Diffusion of Facilities, “So also if, at any time, commerce, industry or agriculture are, in the opinion of the federal reserve board, | burdened unduly with excessive in- ! terest charges, it will be the clear and imperative duty of the reserve board acting through the discount rate and open market powers to secure a wider diffusion of credit facilities at reason- able rates. “The ready availability of its sources is of supreme importance in the conduct of a reserve bank. Only then will it constantly carry the promise of being able to protect bus- iness against the harmful stimulns and consequences of {ll-advised-expan- sions of credit on one hand, or against the menace of unnatural restrictions | and u cont tions on the | | other, with exhorbitant rates of inter- | | est and artificial stringencies.
