Such action does not 4 come under the sdiction of the Public Utilities Commission, 1t is de- | clared, it being not untll after such bus lines are established that they come under the purvew of this reg- ulatory body. Bus line !‘up for this difference proprietors, however, When they seek to establish a line, | | must appear before the commission, | for the statute does not includs bus lines in this unexampled bill of rights, but only refers to ‘“trolley companies,"” ‘When this statute was passed the trolley companies gained a remark- able advantage throughout the state; the | dicate that the establishment of such a line is of a public necessity or con- venlence, The obnoxlous law also nullifies an important item of self-government among towns and citles, As things are under chapter 287 the muniel- palities have to stand for nearly ! everything the trolley interests wish to do, and there are evidences that they are getting tired of it, ONE-FAMILY OR «. . TWO-FAMILY HOUSES, “A counciiman the other day made the remark that this is a city of working people and that not alt of them can afford to construct cottages | to live In, evidently inferring that ambitious home owners who are un- able to construct cottages should be permlitted to construct two-family houses and hereby rent halt the structure to another family, the rent | in some cases covering the ‘“carry- | Ing costs™ of the bullding. Obviously, it is much easier to own | a home under such circumstances than if a one-family house were built. Yet it should not be over- looked that hundreds of thousands | of working familles in these United States live in one.family houses of their own. | But In the manufacturing centers | of New England the two-family and three-family house is conspicuous upon the landscape, Not necessarily because there is a lack of sufficlent land for construction of one-family cottages, but for the reasons men- tloned by the councilman. It is not always the case that one of the familles in such structures are landlords; the latter frequently own two or three such houses, in some instances more. The two eor three-family house {l- lustrates economy in construction. Whether it be a one, two or three- tamily building, a foundation and a roof must be constructed in any case; in the case of a two-family house an extra roof and extra foun- dation is saved, and in the case of a three-story houss two of each are saved. The more-than-one famlly house usually is constructed in sections of cities where land is higher in price than where cottages are constructed, although the latter frequently make by _having | more land around them. In some parts of New England the | three-family house has been discrim- | inated against by the authorities, and in some cities thelr construction is all but barred, especially in cer- | taln sections. The zoning principle | is one reason for this. Another rea- | son is the fire hazard, the belief be- | ing prevalent that the family on the | third floor has a less chance of es- | cape than those on the lower floors. | | NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, offer to pay $6,000,000 a year for 100 years, petulantly oplned that de- Ing business with Congress was too slow to sult his needs, Senator Norri Republican, of Nebraska, poses as the unherolo vie- tim of the Underwood victory, It was he who defeated the Ford prop- osition in the Benate agricultural passed favorably on the Ford offer, and it was his amendment tor feder- al operation that was finally ditched in the Senate in favor of the Under- wood plan. Senator Norris and the farm interests he presumes to repre- sent probably would have preferred Mr. Ford as lessee rather than some power company. No one need register surprise, how- ever, that the Senate preferred the Underwood private operation plan to the Norrls government operation scheme. The only surprise to regis- ter Is that the latter got as far in the Senate as it actually did, which can only be explained by the fact that the operation of Muscle Shoals has been bound up with the manu- facture of cheap fertilizer for the farming interests, which caused many senators to hearken to the wishes of their farmer constituents despite thelr antipathy to govern- ment ownership, But it anyone thinks government ownership of a vast power project is superior to private operation, he need only compare conditions sur- power generated at Nlagara Falls on the American and Canadian sides, In Ontario the governmentally owned system sells ecletricity to do- mestic consumers at rates consider- ably below those on the American side. One reason is becausc the Can- adlan power plants, belng owned by the government, are immune taxation, resulting in a gain to the domestic consumer but a loss to the taxpayer. The Canadian rates being below cost, this is made up by charging higher for power consumers than prevalls on the American side, Asa result, Can- adian industrics are at a disadvan- tage. In addition, part of the cost of operating the Canadian system comes out of the pockets of the taxpayers through contributions from the On- tario treasury; but in spite of these subsidies, the has not been making provision for bonds as they mature, the fund for this purpose being below | the requirements, The burden of righting this financial malfeasance from domestic rates Ontario government | or thé provincial treasury, which | means it will devolve upon | taxpay On the United States side of Nia- and how and why this was brought | Whether or not such fears are €n- | pgarg the plants are privately owned about would be of much interest to | tirely justified depends upon the | but governmentally controlled; the the public. The work of a lobby and | Viewpoint, personal interest and per- | cost of electricity to domestie con- 1obbying attorneys is suggested in a | haps a bit of prejudice one Way OF | sumers is somewhat higher than on grant of such broad powers, No other explanation is possible except that the legislators were greatly de- &irous of preserving the status quo in regard to the trolley companies. Such parttality toward them was not com- mendable, to say the least. Tor the function of a legislature i3 not to yleld an advantage to one species of | transportation over another; it does not call for paternalistic assistance | for trolley interests or any other in- terests, Yet here we have'it, with bunal, when the law specifically pre- wents it from being 1 a tribunal.

If the Legisla ture remains adamant to the com- mon dictates of justice the bus own- ers should pool their interests, start ‘ & fund and begin court proceedings upon the ground that the law is un- constitutional.
