Interior Decorating A Specialty ASSEMBLY TO ACT | Safety Board to Gonslder Only Rontine Affairs Because of uncertainty relative to government of the police and fire de- partments in the near future and gen- erally-expressed expectations that enactment of the charter amend- ments is ‘due soon with 'subsequent appointment of two separate com- missions, the safety board is con- sidering little excepting routine and emergency matters that cannot be left untouched without detrimental resultss The April session tonight, as a result, is expected to be brief, of a formal and routine nature as well as dealing solely with matters of comparatively minor importance. Until there is need for an emergency or special session, there is a feeling that tonight’s meeting is apt to be the valedictory of the safety board in New Britain’s municipal affairs and of the present commissioners. According to Chairman Edward G. Babcock nothing except of compar- ative minor importance and a routine nature is scheduled to be taken up and he anticipates that the session will be hardly more than fifteen or twenty minutes in length. A num- ber of special! policemen for factory duty are scheduled to be appointed, an additional regular policeman may be selected and it is probable that the motorcycle assignment will 'be taken up, unless it is decided to leave this matter to the judgment of Chief Rawlings. Chairman Babcock stated today that there will be no friction of any kind at the meeting and that he will Tefuse to;take issue on any of the questions 'that may' be brought up. He stated further that there will be no discussion on his part of the com- plaints received alleging that the fourteen years old son of Commis- sioner Howard M. Steele has = been operating an automobile in violation of the statutes. He explained, fur- ther, that there is no likelihood of the allegations being brought up at the session, his belief being, if true, they can be, dnd should be settled, out of a regular meetin, HOUSTON FAVORS NATION FOOD CENSUS Would Also Fix Minimum Prices for .Farm Products V\'nshlngto April ‘24,—The neces- sity for a fo census to ‘determine the extent af the food supply of the United States, where it is and who owns it, as a'basis for administrative regulation was emphasized yester: before the semate committee on agri- culture by Secretary Houston. The secretary outlined the plans of the government to be embodied in bills which will be laid before con- gress within a few days. “There is no way of telling,” said Mr. Houston, ‘“what the present supply of the nation is, We have es- timates based on \reports from ob- servers and those engaged in distri- bution, but we have not the authority, the machinery or the means to get at any one time an inventory af the food supply, where it is and who owns it. “We ought to have facts.” A survey ought to be made, and it ought to be made quickly.” An analysis of the estimates based on the information available to the de- partment of agriculture failed to dis close .,according to the secretary, adequate reason for the tremendous increases in the prices of many food products. He told the committee that there had been a shortage in the wheat and potato crops, but that in other staple products there had been sufficient increase in production dur- ing the last year to cover the increase in exports. Eliminating the popular state of mind, he said, “this psychology or -| hysteria or apprehension, or whatever you wish to call it, and the possibility of manipulation, I cannot explain the present condition on strictly economic grounds. I am very much puzzled, If you eliminate apprehension prices ought not to be as high as they are.” Secretary Houston, although ae- centuating the necessity for the exer- tion of extraordinary effort to increase’ food production during the coming season, did not depict for the com- mittee a dismal outlook. “Sentiment throughout the country is exceedingly intelligent and, fine,” he said. *The indications are that the farmers are trying to respond to the unusual de- mand. There are difficulties in the way, such as the obtaining of a sup- ply of seed, fertilizer ahd labor. The problem of labor is the most serious ‘but the farmer, like most of us, wants to know where he is going to get off.” ‘Would Fix Minimum Price. To relieve the apprehension Secre- tary Houston suggested the fixing of minimum prices on farm ‘products so that there could be no danger of de- pression in case of an excess supply, which 'is not probable. The secretary gave lttle encour- agement to plans proposed by several wenators for increasing the land area under cultivation. Instead he pro- posed that efforts be directed to in- creasing the effectiveness of labor in sections where labor now is. Nor did he look with favor on the general proposition of conscripting labor for work on the farms. “The labor supply is below normal in portions of New York, for example, in eastern Penasylvania and Connecti- cut,” he sajd. “West of the Missis- sippt and south of the Ohio the short- age, taken as a whole is reported in FAIN DAILY HI:.RALD 'lTJESDAY APRlL 24, The New Britain cn-nnerative Savings and Loan Association (SUGGESTS PREPAREDN:SS) The man who uses hook and line Pulls in his single fish; They who join hands and pull a seine, Get all that man can wish.
