EXCESS VERBIAGE IN HIGH PLACES In the early accidents in which automobiles and tratns figured it was common for the embattled reporters to write: days of grade crossing | our persons were killed when their automobils was struck by a fast train on the Get There afd Get 'Em Rail- road.” Somewhere a discerning city edi- | tor sutfered from an attack of acute | perception and cogitated thusly: “An auto usually i owned by one person, consequently it is incorrect | to say four were killed when ‘their’ | automobile was struck.

Witness, within a period of one month, completion of two new bank- |ing houses and purchase by a third of the building in which it had carried on its affairs as a tenant |for the past 40 years.

Then comes announcement that |the New Britain Trust Co. is ready |to buy, when legal formalities are | met, the Booth block at the corner of Main and Church streets—a | proposition involving almost $1,000,- Meanwhile thé Fidelity Finance | bank completes work on its new | building on West Main street, and | New Britain's youngest bank begins | business under its own roof. With these favorable omens con- |sider also the remodeling of the New Britaln National bank, com- pleted within a year. to provide | much more space through acquist- {tion of a part of the second floor; |and, too, the bid by the Savings Bunk of New Britain on an issue of $100,000 in city bonds is a signifi- cant stroke, indicative not only of a |financial condition but also of a | faith in the city and its resources. The advance of banks s logically a criterion by which the financial | standing of a community may be judged. With that established fact in mind, one cannot but view con- ditions in New Britain with a feel- | ing of satisfaction and optimism that cven though depressed times may come, New Britain is in a healthy position to await the cloud's | passing.
