The state gets $2 as! a license fee from each station, and gasoline companies can be induced | to put up the cost of erecting tig regalia. Some of these do so and then charge the proprietors §$1 on & | lease for the premises. The great Increase in filling sta- tions is due to the gompetitiofi be- tween oil companies. Each wanpts to have the greatest possible outlet for | Its product. The companies appar- ently argue thyt the mére filling sta- tions they serve, or own, the greater thelr chances of obtaining “their | share of the trade.” The fact that 650 filling stations have bgen erected in Connecticut since the first 3 the year, with three of them being erected every day, makes it look as if the census of filling stations will soon have reach- ed the saturation point. A cynic has “observed that if the pace continues much longer, there may be as many filling stations as there are garages. This happy condition may never come about, however, as the proba- bilities are that some of them will quit business before this maximum | point of saturationis reached. As Mayor Paonessa has observed, the rapid increase of filling statlons is bringing with it problems for the city which are not in process of being solved. The fire lrazard may not be as great as generally supposed, ex- cept in case of a conflagration, which God forbid! But the parking hazard is increased, and the trafic hazard is equally serious. The mayor is of the opinion that there are too many such stations, and that the taxable value of their property is too small. He appears to think property encumber- ed with a gasoline station brings in Jess to the city than if a large build- ing were on the property instead. Reduced property valuations near such stations are also claimed. Tt is doubtful, however, whether a gaso- | line station will stay in the way of any ambition and enterprising prop- erty owner who wishes to construct a more pretentious structure upon such a site, Or if that really were the | case, other available sites might be found without difficulty. Alfhough thece is intense compe- tition between the oil companies, | with a consequent enormous increase in the number of filling stations, the price of gasoline does not appear to :hp reduced greatly by such compe- | tition, The mayor is of the opinion that it 18 increased, due to the addi- Enmml overhead incident to the es- tablishment of many filling stations | | where a less number could just as eficiently perform their functions. 8 | tar as service to the public is con- | cerned, however, there .is an un- Joubted gain, as it is scarcely neces- dealers sarving sary to wait for service at any of the stations any more. There are not cnough customers per station to | force inconvedience upon motorists. The filling station business will solve itself in due course. If there are too many of them the rigorous work- auto- the ing of economical law will feally cut them down nber needed to serve the public. to = But in the case of the stations owned by oil companies, this may not oc- | as in the case of inde- as the oil com- continue to t pay s0 cur as swiftl { ownership, lies probably will ntain stations that do x long as others are owned which pay unusually W Profits in the business are said to be good—so long as plenty of oil and accessories are sold. ‘ Facts and Fancies BY ROBERT QUILLEN Usually a bailot of the normal prejudice s just the result functioning of a| ing their fe ! more of it who are forever hav- ings hurt need even hink the three | I's stand for rouge, ride and rest. | | Alas! | year the to Kisses Daughter secms to 1 they have been married a Daily Dozen doesn't refer Fable: He received urgent calls | from great churches, though he | preached the simple gospel | A free country is one in which everybody feele qualified to tell the throughout the state appears to be| ' | south portlon; | coasts, { vailed in other sectior | western and central chlef executive how to do it * The test of free speech 1s to listen while the other fellow expresses views you don't like.
