THE METROPOLITAN AREA The “metropolitan area” that the noble city of Hartford has arrogated unto itself appears to take in every- thing in central Connecticut. For size it has the metropolitan area of New York or Boston looking like marbles in the Yale bowl. Of eourse, it includes New Britain. | This city is only a spot in the great metropolitan area of Hartford. In- deed, going south the area takes in Meriden; and of course also Middle- town. For some reason the metropolitan srea of Hartford doesn’t include New Haven: but perhaps this was an oversight and may be rectified in future editions of the metropolitan area map. Waterbury also is not in- cluded this city probably being jgnored becauee of its wickedne: North the area goes all the way to Granby and Suffield, Northwest it runs to Wins Winchester, inclusive East it traverees Ellington, Rock ville and Bolton, inclu: For som¢ reason the vast arwa as far as it goes wee!

Publicity Censared for Charges of State House Scandal Boston, July 13 (®—William M. Forgrave, superintendent of the Massachusetts Anti-Saloon league, today stood under censure of the state house of representatives and in addition was barred from privi- leges accorded to legislative agents. The house so voted, 97 to 93, yes- terday after a warm debate on the report of a special committee which investigated Forgrave's charges of an alleged “wild party” at the time of the last prorogation. Forgrave had charged that the party “reminds one of the drunken parties held in the back room of the saloons in the days before prohibi. tion” but when called to testify ad- mitted that he had no personal knowledge. Two witnesses produced by him who swore they had been at the state house the night in question were private detectives who had criminal records and whose testi. mony was vague. In the debate which preceded the vote, Representative Garrett H. Byrne of Roxbury and Henry L. Shattuck of Boston denounced For- grave and demanded he be censured. Representative Perry of Belmont led the opposition in asserting that ft ought to be beneath the dignity of the house to accord Forgrave any recognition. i Others declared that to censure | Forgrave would redound to his bene- ifit by making him appear as a “martyr.” A motion to refer the report of the committes to the attorney gen- eral was made by Representative Luitwieler of Newton but in the confusion following the vote of cen- sure the chair did not hear it and unanimous consent to place the mo- fion in order was denied. The Forgrave censure will be tak- en up by the senate next week when the “wild party” and liquor diver- sion reports to which it was made an amendment are to be considered.
