BILLBOARDS Once upon a time the learned leg- islators passed a law-in this state “regulating” the billhoards, The bill- hoard interests objected strongly, | claiming their business would be| completely ruined. | A species of compromise was ef- fected; the billboard boys were dubi ous, but there was no further argu ing with the “Conneeticut farmers,” us the New Yorkers in the business Aloubtless Tegarded them. And how the billboard business has been ruined! Last year there were only 1,300 new billboards erected in the state, bringing the to- tal number on display up to 6169, The total square feet of Ncensed ad- vertising on Connecticut and eigns along the highways now total 2,642,766 square feet; the pre- vious year the total was about 500,- 000 square feet less. The situation needs more serious | uttention than the Legislature gave | shortstop in the business. His later | tion proposes to build 71 new war- | tobacco te make clgarettes with that it. The highways are being clogged with these destroyers of scenery. Many of the billboards are near curves, interfering with the view ahead. Praétically all of them are blotches of garish ugliness upon the landscape. There {8 only one proper way to handle the obnoxious billboard situ- | ation, and that is to make their use iHegal. They are public nuisances. BUYING UP BUSES Money talks, and the New Haven railroad is making it talk nine dif= live longer; some of them do, but ferent languages. Getting back on its financial fect means more to the road than paying up government in- debtedness or threafening to pay a dividend on common stock. It means « willingness to spend something for the latest and newest monopoly it is out to obtain—that of a monopoly of the intercity bus business. Some independent bus entrepre- neurs got into the field ahead of the ruilroad’s subsidiary, the New Eng- und Transportation Company. Con- scquently they obtained the chises along eome choice routes.

WATER RATES Tucreas r touchy question in this city, by the water board Lut frowned upon by other officials. the experi- ence of the town of Madison may wa rates being & desired \ €t | basis. The bonds will be issued and | buiMings { fran- | be interesting. Madison is served by a private wa- ter company, the Guilford-Chester Water company. To obtain increased | rates customary action was taken— | {an appeal to the Public Utilities | | Commission. And as usual, this worked. The P. U. C. allowed the company | the full extent of the increase asked, | | resulting in general indignation | throughout Madison, It was thought | | ikely that the company would be ! | granted a emall increase, in view of | the desire to put In new equipment, a chlorination plant, and larger | pipes to fire hydrants. The select- | men say the full increase was “en- | tirely unwarranted.” Meanwhile New Britain, owning | its own water supply system, must | also increase ita equipment and go | | to large cxpense in the near future. | But it will be done.on a different we will pay interest on the increased | bonds and provide a sinking fund. | | This money will have to come from | | taxpayers, but it will not be paid in |the form of water rates, but from | general taxation. In the long runm, | | financlally speaking, it will amount | | to the same thing. | In Madison, and every other town | where the private water companies | flourish, increased equipment means | | increased rates, and in the end when | the companies pay off their in-| | debtedness they will continue to own | the works. | | The New Britain system s su—i perior. 1 | | JENNINGS Hughic Jennings is dead.

ILLINOIS AT THE DOOR According to a writer for the As- | ciated Press, Tllinois is in for a | | seven-year period with only one | senator in the upper house, It all | | depends upon whether the governor | jaucks by his refusal not to appoint | | another in place of Frank L.

This | leaves locally killed meat without federal inspection. That has to be at- Local authorities are supposed to | be more efficient than federal au-| thorities. The supposition after all is merely a supposition. Nobody, per- haps, knows whether this is the case throughout the entire state. The cheaper grades of lacally kill- | ed meat throughout New England are purchased mostly by poor peo- | ple. Such meat is entitled to as| thorough an inspection as the higher | grades brought into the state from | clsewhere. | An investigation was made of | some smaller slaughtering houscs in | Massachusetts, places in very small | towns where cattle are slaughtered | for local consumption. Of course, we‘ suppose conditions are vastly better | in Connecticut; but at that, we do‘ not know, no investigational report | being on hand to prove the contcn-f | tion. | Anyway, in Massachusetts Dr. Francis H. Rowley, president of the | M. 8 P. C. A, was quoted as saying | the conditions #n smalier slaughter- | houges throughout the state are | “abominable.” In many small towns, | he said, the local Inspectors have not | sufficlent knowledge and training | | from the Baltimore Orloles of the | to be able to select good meat.

But then, that is only a be- lief. | CONTROL OF THE SEAS No, there is no arms race b(lwri‘n! the United States and Great Britain; | | winners—with the Kind aid of Ty | President Coolidge himself has so| when a man would scol stated. i It may be like saying, “Yes, “'c" Have No Bananas.”” The administra- | ships “as fast as possible.” Maybe & | little faster than the other fellow | —which is England—but it wouldn’t | be an arms race. ‘ Perhaps it would merely friendly game at cards. The idea, of course, is to bring about parity between the United States and Great Britain—a right we | possess under the Washington Arms treaty. We are to have as large a | navy as England in practice as well | as in theory. | It wouldn't exgetly be a race, as | neither nation would be allowed o | outstrip the other without the oth- | er's consent. It would simply be one | be a| | of those. things, anything you care to | call .jt. | The British are alarmed; in spite | of the fact they signed the Washing- | ton Arms treaty, they have been | taking it for granted that Uncle Sam would not go the limit on the war- ship allowance, and that the net re- | sult would be something like ! instead of 5-5-3. A ratio of | would suit them even better, The British admiralty s using such words as “disaster.” When one reads through their fulminations, | however, one finds that their idea lacks control of the s: | rated. The postmaster estimates the | “The admiralty is not think- ing of a war between the Unit- ©d States and Great Britain,” writes Frank H. Simonds in the Review of Reviews, in which hc pictures the' British attitude. “But it is considering what might be the situation if, at a moment when Britain were in- volved in another European war the United States should refuse to accept the British proclama- tion of a blockade and under- take to convoy merchant ships through such a blockade. “The disaster from the Brit- ish naval standpoint is that we shall have 25 or 30 of the 10,- 400 ton cruisers, the type b calculated to challenge the Brii- ish blockade.
