[ AND NOW THE “PRUNING” Embattled city officials are now | seeking a way to avold ralsing the | tax rate in the face of mounting ex- penditures—at least on Al- | ready the mayor has given a hint of budget pruning to come. This is an annual experience, the chiet differ- ence this year being that there real- Iy appear to be some, if not many, | items which will bother the prun- | ers more than usual. Only mainte- nance and necessary improvements will be attempted, says the mayor. What are the ments, and what can be called unnecessary? It may altogether be a matter of opinion. Take the matter of a city inciner- ator. Chairman E. F. Hall of the board of finance and taxation only the other evening remarked that continued “stalling” on- this matter cannot any longer be brooked. Yet | an fncinerator will cost money and | it is to be seen whether the pruners| can’ avoid building one. No inciner- | ator is proyided for in the budget this year but there appears to be a| sufficient emergency to bring it be- | fore the board. | For years much of this “stalling” | has been going on in order to avoid | increasing the tax rats. Nothing is | gained by dodging this fact. Such tac- | ties ultimately lead to financial dif- | ficulties, as . the time surely comes | when “stalling” is no longer po. | —as was the case when new schools | simply had to be built and as at the | present time when there appears no | place left for the paper. necessary improve- are those which | disposal of gar- | he money has to be expended | , and in larger amounts one time, It costs the city $250,000 a year to meet the interest upon its funded debt.

This government affair will | power plant and much more and how many miles of new highway would the increase create? Not enough to make motor- ists yell for joy. There is one point about the gaso- line tax that is not fair. It relates to city travel. A large proportion of automobile and truck traffic con- sists of travel within cities. These vehicles pay the gasoline tax along with the others, while the city streets which they help to wear out are not benefited one iota by the tax. SPENDING $125,000,000 ON BOULDER PROJECT The name of Muscle Shoals has | has become a household word to the | extent that virtually everyone has Tennessee. The time will come when the Boulder dam project will be equally well known. When construct- ed it will far surpass Muscle Shoals in size. ! Political and legal questions aris- ing out of the Boulder dam project promise to be on a par with its big- | ness. They have already begun and | are destined finally to reach the Supreme Court. The Boulder dam project, which is | pending before both houses of Con- gress under the name of the Swing- | Johnson bill, authorizes the govern- | ment to construct a 550-foot dam in the boundary between Nevada and Arizona; and to erect and operate a hydro-electric power plant with an installed capacity of | and with a steady capacity of 550,000 horse- power which is about three times the | steady capacity of the government | A huge project, surely! But that call for flood control, irrigation of desert lands, creation of stable do- mestic water supplies and settlement of rights to the waters of a river which flows through seven American states. One of the knotty questions which must be decided is whether the fed- eral government should finance such a project through the sale of elec- tric power, or whether it should per- mit private enterprise to lease the sell the power— after the government has bullt the | dam and made it possible to create the electric current, The slowness with which Congress | has settled a similar point in con- | nectlon with' Muscle Shoals indicates | there will be no precipitate handing over of Boulder dam power to| private interest | Another (‘hu]iong(s} validity of the entire project, this | being due to the oppos | controversy ion of Ari- | zona and more recently of Utah te the Swing-Johnson bill. It is the con- | tention of Arizona within the power of the that it is not | Congress and zislatures of six states to make an agreement for the division of water in which seven states have an interest. In other words, Arizona wishes to insist upon an unanimous | agreement or none at all, This contention is not deemed a dangerous one to the project, but| will at all events be a’time-consumer to decide. More important, perhaps, the Arizona contention that the | federal government hasn't the right to appropriate the water of the Colo- rado rivi for the generation of power, for irrigation, and for domes- tic purposes in defiance of the pre- cedent that the right to appropriate water for these purposes belongs ex- clusively to the states. The contention give the| friends of state's rights an oppor- tunity for extended disou: | on the face of it, it would seem | ridiculous for one state riparian rights to the exclusion of | the rights of other states to the| waters. 1l may fon; yet | to claim The Boulder dam project will be st thing of the kind that ever came before Co .

Be these things as they may, there can scarcely be any doubt at the present time that women are much more interested in the finer things ot lite than their husbands and sweethearts. It was Sinclair Lewis who in one of his devastating satires upon the modern man painted him as able to talk intelligently upon nothing but his line of business and the various makes of automobiles. Those of us who have taken long distance trips in Pullman smokers can testity régarding the woeful limits circumscribing the general conversation one hears among fellow smokers—or fellow male travelers. Yes, it is sometimes very pitiful. Business, the stock market, automo- biles and a few spicy stories—that's about all the mental recreation one comes into touch with in a Pullman smoker. But compare the activitles of the women. Is there an uplifting move- ment under the sun in which they do not take a leading part? No answer, and that must make it unanimous. Is there any display of paintings in a public library, or in an art gallery, in which they are absent? Again no s thers anything most cultivated sense in which they |are not Interested? Again unanimity. It is the women—the club's, the women's organizations, the women's church affairs, the women's sewing circles—that keeps the love of fine things a tenet of | faith. While their husbands argue | about the tendencies of real estate and the probabilities of trade and the necessitics of a tarift high as Haman's gallows, the women—God bless ’em—talk about literature, music, art, and all the other things that are intended to glorify life. One need only to contents of the representative wom- compare the | en's magazines with those represent- | ative magazines aiming to enlist the interest of men. It's the women—sglory to their | pages in the newspapers with the total of ads upon the other pages. The women not only make it possible for merchants to but every hard-headed merchant who spends money for advertising purposes knows fully and completely that it is the women who must be appealed to if the ads are to be ef- fective. Why, the women even watch for bargains in men's regalia, forming their husbands of what they read and advising when to buy and urging that there be hurry to get | there before all the bargains in over- coats, neckties and socks are gone. Many women will do the buying for their husbands, too—after the lat- ter furnish the money. Credit where credit is earned. Jane Addams undoubtedly was ri, her suppositions. She is unmarried, doesn’t want to get married and has had plenty of opportunity to wateh mankind from a detached viewpoint. But not even she gave women all the credit to which they are entitled. Long may we treat 'em right.

Mayor Weld has echoed their feeling in the matter. The mayor is agreeable to some increases; he has repeatedly criticized the previ- ous administration for reducing ap- propriations to such a point that the officiency of departments, notably the department of public works, 1s impaired. pavements lends substantiation to ithe mayor’'s claim that such a policy is unwise. The department of pub- lic works, left with insufficient money after maintenance costs were paid, had little or nothing to spread out in pavement repairs. The re- sult has been gaping holes in pave- ments in the center of the city and elsewhere, The estimates sent by departments to the board of finance and taxation, do not present a true picture of what the respective department are hopeful of being allowed. For in- stance, the board of public works submits estimates of nearly al streets on which the common council has suggested paving or repalr werk during the year. To the board of finance and taxation and the coun- cil is left the privilege of deter- mining which are the most needy. Funds only in proportion to that finding are allowed or expected. This malkes a material difference between the boards' estimates and the amount granted. Then, too, the police department asking for 15 hew patrolmen cannot be thought to seriously hope for such a grant, A few, possibly fiv new men will be allowed ,it is e pected; but 15 never. There too, is a | reduction to be figured off. Several | Qepartrgents are secking replacement | or additions in their items of equip- ment. A dcep slashing there may he | lookea for.

Lopping off of severgl of the large items and paring of “hearly all is in the opinion of some such a program of “pruning” that the city's hope for a taxerate not much higher than that of the cur- rent year, certainly not six mills lays. Conversation with business men and manufacturers reveals a high- |er spirit of optimism than existed at the beginning of the year.

Reproduction Forbidden) The present condition nf! dictions are being made, with con- servative reservations, that 1927 will be a good business year, noth- ing of a sensational nature, to be sure, but reasonably sound. This is in direct contrast to the expectations of several manufac- turers when the new year dawned. Wages were cut in some establish- ments and the impression gained ground that Industrialists were fearful of bad times ahead. But with the opening of the year out of the way, orders are reported to have come in steadily and several shops, especially those in which builders’ hardware is manufactured, are sald to be fairly busy. With the country expecting the continua- tion of the building spurt, New Britain should enjoy its usual prosperity and be able to live up to its name, “The Slumpless City."” A story of long ago when fathers used stern methods of teaching their children, comes from Kensington and concerns the late Samuel A. Hart. It is sald that one morning about 1862, his father thought that the |time had arrived when the: boy should learn the boundaries of the Hart holdings, which even now are widespread. One spring morning, therefore, the father took Nim afield and pointed out the boundaries, fm- pressing the lad with the necessity of learning the correct lines. May- be it was the May morning that de- tracted the youngster's gaze from the mythical lines which his father pointed out or it might have been that young Samuel was not unduly impressed with the importance of knowing the property lines, at any rate the story has it that he did not retain many of his father's words. The year passed and on a spring morning a lear later his father again took him affeld and asked him to point out thé houndaries which had been shown him the pear previous. “I can’t remember them, father,” confossed the boy. His father then took him around the same ground again and again and indicated the boundaries which separated the Hart land from the neighbors holdings. And again the boy's attention wandered from the husiness at hand ‘as he possibly thought of the large trout he had seen the day before in the brook which bordered their estate. An- other year passed. On the third | spring morning his father again asked young Samuel to point out the | boundaries which had twice been ex- | plained to him and again Samuel soul-racking and bacl ng work, have succeeded in fixing four standard styles of collars, each one suited to a certain type of face, There is a collar for the long faced, long necked man, the long faced, short rcked than, and so on. The idea is that the shape of the collar is to offset the peculiarities of the face as much as possible— wide collars for thin faces and vice versa. Under this system wing col- lars must be for light-headed peo- ple. This might be carried much furth- er and men's clothing standardized from head to foot and back to head again, We might have, in addition to the regular styles in footwear, & further dlagnenal last for pigeon- toed men. There could be thick socks for skinny shafts and thin ones for fat legs. In golf stockings this might be carried ¢gven a step further so as to have the stripes or checkerboards at an angle, thus correcting bow legs by making them appear exactly vertical. Of course, collegiate trou- sers are already so large that they, cover up this defect quite com- pletely. Then there might be long coats for short waisted men, coats with artificial fronts for pigeon-breasted fellows, elastic coats for butter and egg men with paunches, and 8o on. Some genius may even put on the market special coats and shirts for one-armed men. Rings_. could be made in special patterns according to the length and thickness of the fingers. Broad-ghested men would wear string ties and human skele- tons array themselves with flowing | tles. Hat manufacturers would pro- duce high hats for flatheads and soft hats for boneheads. Perhaps barbers would join in and arrange special faclal styles, with esmooth-shaven faces for fat men, thick whiskers for chinless men, long beards for short-faced men, and sideburns for sunken-cheeked men. The board of police commissions ers evidently believes in the adage: |“If at first you don't succeed, try, try again,” for the recommendation {for an increase in the number of |officers in the department appears in :;(hc budget for the coming fiscal year, |despite the adverse action of the common council on two occasions in |the past. The recommendation is modified, however, the commission- ers asking merely that a lieutenancy |be created. According to report in municipal |circles, there is considerable senti- {ment in the cogimon council in fa- vor of adding the leutenancy and it will not be surprising if the recom- mendation is adopted.
