EMPLOYING AN “EXPLERT" There appears to he so much mys- | of the et tery about the alleged plan gchool survey committee to out-of-town architect who cialized on school construction, to ex- amine plans of schools erected here and to explain of school construction in use elgewhere, that the matter is somewhat difficult of dis- cussion. Enough has been s it to inspire a bit of surpris plan should be considered. Tt was sup- posed that the survey committee had the word “‘economy” close to its heart. Bome people wondered, heing ignorant, of course of the facts, where the survey committee is going to get the money to pay for an “ex- pert” from New York to perform this service. The good that harmony between the survey commit- tee and the school committee has been here emphasized. It that recently there has been more of this pleasant characteristic than for- merly between and its critics, But “secret” plans of this sort do not tend to bring greater harmony. When all is said and done the school committee decides what it Its members by has spe- new types id about have would come from would appear the school committee wants. are elected the people and are trusted with mak- ing the provisions proper for educat- ing the children of The school committee endeavors to keep posted on the “modern school con- struction” cals which come to it regularly. the light of information thus gained and from its special Knowledge the school committee tells the architect which is to prepare plans for the schools, just what it wants to meet local demands and the architect makes his plans in aecordance with _the wishes of our school committee, just as a man telis the architect what Kkind of a house he wants. That is all there is to it. Architects might differ, of course, " 88 to the hest means of planning a | puilding to meet the wishes of the ' school committee, and the New York 'Men may, and probably would, seuggest what he would consider im- ‘provements in such plans. The New in architects still dare to hold i to their opinion, nevertheless. All the L architectual knowledge in the world s not confined to New York City— the city. In ¥ New Britain has a bit of it as it has & bit of other knowledge.

The commission has not forgotten this need of protection for a minute, But just to “kecp the straight,” and to keep informed on the | | situation that in all future references to the Connecticut company matters the facts may be always in mind, at- | tention is called to the action yester- | day of the State senate in passing a bill which gives the board of control authorlzation to abate in whole or in | part taxes and interest from any elec- tric street railway company in the hands of a receiver, when the com- pany fails to earn the amount of the tax and its operating expenses, There was some slight objection made to the bill on the ground that publie service corporations are receiv- ing too much preference in this state, but the objection, and the one which disapproved the bill as being “elass legislation” was not fatal to the bill. Of course the. Connecticut company is the “any electric railway company” referred to in the bill, and it is merely for “future reference” that the passage by the senate of the measure is here emphasized. It will be interesting to see what happens in the future. people has of record | street HARDING AND TEMPLETON President Harding Governor Templeton appear to be in somewhat similar positions at the moment al- though that situation is brought about by very different matters.
