Perhaps the jitney may prove a hlus\ng to the trolley company after 1. The electric system was becom- ing smugly complacent with its serv- ice, sort of pleased with itself and not a little bit inclined to snub the public.

Although periods of being experienced by other industrial centers, those in which textile works flourish, individuals in close touch with the manufacturing life of New -an see no depression ahead. This, of course, depends to a great extent on the rest of the country and the situation in other man- ufacturing centers. Ever singe the armistice w and factories began to adjust them- selves to peace conditions, there has been a demand for New Britain made products far in excess of the supply and most of the plants have been far behind their orders.

New Britain Herald: The writer notes in a recent issue of the Herald that the Board of Water Commissioners, for sanitary reasons, have decided to prohibit fishing in the various reservoirs from which our city gets its water supply. It strikes the writer as a far-fetched and L ads, o consistent act on the part of the com. i missioners. Fishing has always been permitted: at the reservoir, with the exception of the two years that we were lnvolved b in the World War, and, to the best knowledge of the writer, has never‘ resuited in any serious pollution of the & water supply. the -Commissioners is-to be believed, every analysis that has been made has shown our water to be purer and of = In faet, if the word of 0 better quality than that of any of our neighboring towns and cities. In_the opinian of the writer, the water suffers greater pollution throu the harvesting of the'ice than it ever will through any acts of the fisher-! man on the banks of the ressrvoir. Yet it is proposed “to ‘prohibit thei fishing, but we will still continue.to . ! harvest the ice. & ‘Wherein lies the consistency? Fishing. at the reservoirs, particu. larly Shuttle Meadow, is a means of recreation and rest for many of the® people of our city, after a long hot day in the factory or office, and the prohibition of this sport inflicts an unnecessary hardship on these people. The writer would ask if the Com- missioners have just awakened to the terrible danger to which the users of city water are constantly exposed by * the unsanitary acts of the fishermen? Regardless of any action the Com missioners may take in this matter, there will always be a certain ele- ment who will commit depredation and nuisances on the water-shed. whenever thé opportunity presents itself, but why make the fisherman suffer for it? i A LOVER OF THE SPORT.
