New Paper $40 to $90 a Ton, With a Famine the Offing—Old Paper Should Command Good Price— Commonest Varvicty Brings 60c per 100 Pounds. New Britain, Aug. 26, 1916. Editor of The Herald: In an editorfal, not long ago, you spoke of the increasing shortage of paper, the consequent value of old pa- pers and, finally, of the chance for boys wishing to make some money. 1z not i boy—but a housekecper, h of old newspapers and zines Yor sale—I decided to try my fortune, and hailed several passing junk dealers to inquire w. the would pay for them. (The papers, by the way, are folded and tied in neat packazes, and the magzazines, being high crade, are of very good quality paper.) One dealer offered 15c:per hundred for the magazines. Another conde- scendingly offered the same amount for the magazines but only 10 per hundred pounds for the paper. I had expected ~ about 21 cents Per pound won't blame your editorial for such extravagant hopes. At any rate -1 would rather carry the whele lot ‘of papers and magazines into the back yard and burn them, than give them to a miserly dealer for =such prices. Consider how long it would take to save 100 pounds of The Herald. Maybe you or some reader can ad- vise through the columns of the val- ueq Herald, where one can disposc of old papers and magazines at better rates. I'd be interested and appreciat- tive. in with ma aps 0 Very truly yours, A READER. Called to Happening: Trolley Lin: Attention 8-28-1916. To the Editor of The Herald: In justice to the patrons on some of | the trolley lines, there is ample reason for the management to overhaul some of the young conductors, especially on the East Main street line. The minds of some of these conductors seem to be centered on matters but known to themselves, instead of looking after the welfare of their passengers. I will cite one instance that curred last Friday night on the IS Main street line. Two passenger boarded the car across the railroad track, occupying the same seat. When the conductor came for his fare both passengers gave him each a dime. Two fares were rung up, but no change was given back to either pas- senger until the conductor's attention was called to it, whereupon a warm argument ensued before the change was returned. Still the trouble dia not one of the passengers, who is a regu- lar patron of this car, signaled the conductor where he wanted to alight, and the pa: nger was carried a long distance beyond his destination, and was obliged to signal the conductor the sccond time before he stopped the car This not the first time that the same thing has occurred. Tt is hoped that the management will lool after this matter and & the public the service they are for. > e end here, is v paying C.
