PUBLIC WORKS The, boatd of public works ix not | doing the thing by halves this year. Retter streets cost more money. The | cry for better paved streets s con- stant, but the urge to save money is just s urgent. Doing both is one of thoss things which rarely happen. Mscadam work, for {instance. ‘would cost $136,000; permanent pav- ing $209,667. The grand tota! of all the jobs believed necessary or ad- visable is $557,667. Watch the look on Edward F. Hall's face when he notes those figures. | Last year the board got $209.117 | all_teld; which many agree is con- #lderable money for the amount of work done. | ‘Whatever the finance board does about the budget prepared, the nced for certain new bridges should not be everlooked.

Fall River as a city is approxi- mately no older than New Britain. Its formation followed practically the same lines. It was part of a set- tiement known as Freetown until 1803, when it was {ncorporated separately and was known as me,‘tionul town of Troy until 1834. In 1854 it was chartered as the city of Fall River, 50 that the city really dates from that time. Its growth has paralleled that of the textile industry in New England, just as the growth | ot New Britain coincided with the development of the hardware indus- try. Ome of the chief differences has | been that whereas the textile indus- | try has slumped during late years, | the hardware industry has grown consistently.

If factions could win elections Heflin and MeAdoo | would be assets; but as the factions elections the is they represent lose Democratic party unfortunately forced to function with two mill- stones dangling from the Adams apple. McAdoo's superficial conclusions about the alleged impossibility of Smith enforcing the law so far as a president is able to exert influence in that direction is on a par with his conclusions generally. Everyone knows, or ought to know, that with the 1Sth and the Volstead act re- maining in force a certain amount of enforcement automatically flows from Washington. The likelihood is little that therc would be less en- forcement even with a brewer in the White House; there could scarccly ly that the bulk of prohibition agents obtain their appointments through political wire-pulling, and that their efficiency is about the last thing considered. And under this plan we are supposed to be enjoy- ing the benefits of a dry administra- tion. The possibility is that, mith in the White Iouse, less politics would enter into prohibition enforcement, and that might be something gained rather than lost. 1t Smith were to be inducted into office and sworn to the law, does McAdoo think an exception would be made as to the prohibition law? Docs McAdoo imagine Congress would discontinue its functioning? wert | Does McAdoo honestly believe what he is saying? We doubt it.

T § Sewing Machines. The lue of sewing machines, cases and attachments turned out by Connecticut factories today is but little more than jt was in 1900, Connecticut was the center for the manufacture of sewing machines which first achieved commercial succeas. Connecticut factories during 1925 turned out products in this industry valued at $3,895,938. all states, which was $46,295,556. This was 8.4 of the total for Twenty-five years earlier, Connecticut manufacturers produced 155 of the country’s total, the product being valued at $2,170,137. One ‘interesting fact about this {ndustry is that during 1921, when most industries showed a sharp receasion in value of product in comparison with other recent years, sewing machines showed an increase in value. Connecticut's output that year was worth $4,029,000. Tllinois led all states in the value of this eommodity during 1925, her facories turning out machines valued at $7,180,945. Connecticut ranked second, and valued at $2,817,181, third. The average number of wage try in Connecticut during 1925 was 1,572, where as the number during 1900 was 2,104, Massachusetts, with an output earners engaged in this indus- erage Wages for the two years amounted to $1,972,656 and $1,176,622 respectively.
