But the delay in connection with the rmainder of the lighting regalia promised has become pronounced. —With the re department switched to the snow removal fund, it will be self-evident {0 the pessimists that this is a sure sign of more snow before the winter is over. Tradition has it that the snow removal fund doesn't stay ‘unding for any length of time. —On contemplating the splendid new railroad station in Springficld one wonders how the New Haven railroad ever found the money to build it; and just about then one dis- covers that the Boston and Albany had an important hand in the im- provement. —The automotive record of the state for the year yields impressive statistics. First the statistics, the eomment, to wit: 1356 licenses were suspended for drivers being “under the influence” of anti-Vol- stead liquor; 8821 licenses were sus- pended for other infractions of mo- tor laws, which was an inc of more than 400 unfortunates; 240 licenses I were fellow an cvading responsibility. T who evade accident— responsibility after e. steps on the gas to get away—is popula regarded as belonging to the lowest form of hu- manity. What happened to the 240 and was the punishment, if an cntirely adequate? GOOD FINANCIAL NEW AFFECTING CITY Reducing the city's debt is qu an art.

The theater owners are not legally bound to provide such a fund and no doubt will dis- continue it. The film tax is supposed to make out-of-the-state producers pay for the privilege of showing their wares within the state. But they don’t pay a cent. It is the local theater-owners who pay the tax; and the cost natur- ally is passed on to the public seeing the films. The law should be rep merely one of those things that add aled. Tt is | | to the cost of amusement. | | THE INSULLS AND POWER IN MAINE | Superpower possibilities | England are by far greater in Maine | than in any other New England | ate.

The New England Counell, he de- clares, has been told repeatedly that it is more difficult to obtain informa- tion from New England communities than trom cities in any other section, and that the paramount reason is the communities lack the statistics de- sired. The Council's own experience, he says, confirms the complaint. Naturally we wonder how much data there is on file in New Britain realm of possibility, it is to obtain access to it.

Makes Random Observations On the City and Its People Automobile drivers whom ncces- sity forces to traverse South Main strcet believe they are justified in their criticism of the street depart ment for not making temporary re pairs to the roadway. Without questidn, the condition of the street is the worst in New Britain. It is impossible to dodge the holes and gullies, which dot the highway as thickly as shell holes on a road in France after a heavy bombard- ment, For severdl years South Main street has been an eyesore to New Britain, For at least two years it has been a disgrace. It is one of the cipal traffic arteries from the SPuth into New Britain and visitors express disgust because no effort is made to improve its condition. Tt is too early in the spring to mak permanént repairs but the street d partment should at least go through the motions of putting it in passable shape. “Kaiser Wilhelm” and his crowd | are muking frantic efforts to find |a job for Connie Dehm, chairman of the fire commission, who is now out of work. “Kaiser Wilhelm"” will recognized, of course, as Willie chairman of the republican the official turner of thumbs down on cratic office holders. ‘When Joe Ryan was dismisse! from the public works department | service it was planned to give his job to Dehm. But the newspaper- men got wind of the program and publication of the situation spoileé everything.

It's your party sn't it, and why are you bothering us about arranging it for you? We hould think you'd look after your | own party and not como to almost i total strangers for advice.

We®wonder then at their aloofness from all things com- mon. They arrive at the lace {n which they are to play. They choose their hairs and blat a few tuning notes on their instruments. Then, with a rell I suppose we'll have to get it {over with” kind of a gaze, they burst into melody which moves stout {matrons and business weary busi- men into something approach- wtion. They watch with 1dly derisive eyes the efforts of the crowd before them and they finish th a final and flourishing burst. The applause means nothing to them. The leader has in his pocket a sheaf of crisp crackling notes which mean all the applause that they might desire.

They ara ‘members of the profession” and they have nofhing in common with the herd. To a great extent, the feeling is mutual. Any applause that is given the musicians is given in a slightly condescending manner, in the man- ner of casting pearls before swine, Unless the band has obtained a great amount of prestige, efforts are forgotten before the milk bottles clank on the front steps the next {morning. Its keen melody and rhythm floats between individual conversations and islost in a haze of smoke and chatter, A greater part of the time finds the dancers {o- tally unconscious of the musie which is filling the room about them. It is merely an accessory to their en- joyment, and the orchestra, ther | fore, is an accessory to an accessory and loses its individuality in the words “The music was also good.” We, romancing as usual, had com- pleted a very touching picture of a member of the orchestra, starving | for a touch with the outside world 'but chained to his dais with tho mob rushing beneath him as he mournfully brought his sorrow out of himself through the mouthpiece of his saxophone. We felt quite sorry for him and were about to e tablish a society for the establis ment of a more complete unde | standing between orchestras and audiences.
