There is f making transportation difficult for New Britain effort to penalize the sist from an ordinance nance a danger even more people in the Connecticut company. It may be granted that if such an ordinance the company to put on more cars its passage and en- forcement would be a splendid thing for the people. Dut would it do this? Might it not, rather, compel the com- pany to refuse to take on passengers, leaving some who were in a hurry standing in the cold to wait for the next car, without there being added any cars to relieve the situation? Are people generally pleased with the law which requires jitneys to limit the number of passengers? And certainly there is more danger in a crowded jitney than there would be in a crowded trolley ‘car. Let it be re- peated, for fear someone might read a wrong meaning here, that if such an ordinance would make the com- pany put on more cars it would be hailed with delight. But New Britain pedple are not -apt to believe the ' company would do this thing. As to the legality of such an ordi- . nance it ik to be noted. that all sim- “/ilar laws are based upon puhlic health or safety. The jitney is dangerous if " crowded beyond its capacity. There is no idéa of considering passengers' comfort in the law. All laws against crowds have for their teason for be- ing the idea of public health or safety. If ‘an ordinance against crowded trolley cars is found ‘to be proper it will be an innavation in the law unless it can be founded on con- serving the health or guarding the _safety of the people. It is feared that the onlyany of remedying the matter of crowded trolley cars would be by attacking again, as it has been at- tacked so often, the adequacy of the service ‘given the people of this city. induced THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY. Reading 'the news of proposals the general assembly it might be supposed that atmosphere of energy, action and progress, not to say radicalism prevailed. But let no one worry. No revolutionary meas- ures will be taken. The state will plod along, slowly but surely in its conservative way having due regard all the time for ‘the so}id interests the success of which has given Con- necticut its' place in the nation. Pri- vate property will be quite safe, as investigations - or things eco- in an always, and no prosecutions will throw nomic into a state of chaos. And speaking about coal and the emergency measures recommended by Governor Templeton so properly, “without suggesting the precise form which it may take” the thought comes that it might be possible to put into such emergency legislation some penalty to be inflicted upon those who insist upon having more coal in their cellars than needed and who, moreover, make things very unpleasant if great loads of exactly the sort of coal they want are not delivered to them at the | exact moment they want it, forgetting | all about the man of moderate means, | or less, who would be glad, to ha\ei’ a very small part of the surplus over what the other needed, to keep hx!] modest home warm.

The Herald calls attention to the activities of the New Britain organi- zation of women which this week is starting a campaign to raise $1,000, the New Britain quota of a $450,000 tund to be spent on health work in Palestine. The revitalizing of Pales- tine hug created a sentimental inter- est all over the world, but entirely aside from that interest this move- ment 'is ong of the many which has made and 1§ making this country stand ‘alone as one whose people are responsive to calls from the sick and suffering all over the world. The work is adequately and simply described and the appeal made in a personal letter of President Anna Goldsmith of the New Britain Chap- ter Hadassah, as follows: The New Britain Chapter of Hadassah; the women’s Zionist Organization, i§ this week start- ing a campaign.to rais¢ this city's quota -of a. $450,000¢fund that will enable Hadassah to continue its great work of bringing health and healing to the population of Palestine. Hadassah, originally the hopeful effort of a small group of American women in- terested in Zionism, is today widely known and beloved throughout Palestine by Jew, Moslem and Christian. Its 400 doctors and nurses minister to all races, creeds and classes alike. Hadassah's hospitals have no private wards.
