Slaughtered Own Supply In this part of the state, a Jar cattle dealer was located in New- ington. Meat dealers from this vi- cinity brought cattle and sheep| from him and drove them to their farms, Each meat dealer had a crude slaughter house and many hours of disagreeable work were spent in it. Figuring out the amount of meat that he would need to sup- ply his customers for the next day, the dealer would Kkill by hand the necessary number of cattle or sheep. They experienced many difficult- fes, especially in their effort to cure the animals firmly so that the could make their Kill. As the Ber- lin resident expressed it, they liter- 1ly were forced to take their lives into their hands at times when Kill- ing cattle. The animals that were not killed on one day were crazed hy the smell of blood and by the time the next day came, it was al- most impossible to lure them into the slaughter house. y Less difficulty was experienced in dling sheep but the Berlin man stated that as long as he lives he will mever forget the look of an- guish that he saw in the eyes of the sheep which he prepared to Wil Incidentally sheep were very plentiful and a great deal of lamb was consumed.

Along with his frankness, his wealth of news and his established reputation for veracity was his most obliging way of being affable, genial and accessible at any hour | of the day or night. I am sure it was all natural with him and I never | have met a big man who was so consistently agreeable day after day | over the course of the last 10 years | as Tex Rickard was. If he didn't have a story for you he would go to v reasonable lengths to stand for | one and the lengths were usually left to the reporter who had some kind | of a tough assignment from the! desk, | He would always answer the | phone in his office and he would leave word where he could be found when he wasn't in.

His own publicl- ty department never got any hot stories from him. The hot storles just fell out bit by bit when he was talking. Maybe it was an act. He was an amazing man. He knew the mechanics of news, however. He certainly did. One afternoon he said to me iIn his office: “Wish there'd be some kind of a rumor come out of Chicago that I was going to put on a show out there, Kinda like to see what (hn‘ fellers out there would say about it.” “That wouldn’t be very definite. It wouldn't cause any comment if you didn't say what It was,” I said. “Well, I can do that,” he went on casually. “If you can, you write the story that I'm going to put Dempsey and Tunney in there on September |22 in that big stadium they got out there.” “Good Lord, are you going to do that?” T asked, almost reaching for the phone. “Yeh, but whoa there, young feller.

Back of the watch which the town constables | are now keeping over the forbidden arcas in the center of the town lie months—even years—ot futile ¢ffort to keep the town's danger rpots clear of cluttering vehicles, but the trail appears to have been followed to its end at last. The trouble all began several vears ago when the Connecticut Co. moved its trolley stop in Central | square, shifting from a wide part of the street to a narrow neck. This was done for the safety of the pas- sengers on the cars and has met with thelr fervent approval, but it | resulted in the blocking of the head of Whiting strect—the new stop— while cars were standing there. Motorists Ignore Orders A simple solution suggested itself to the selectmen, and they forthwith decreed that there should be no parking on either side of the street near the stopping point of the trol- leys. And, being no men for half- way measures, they further gn- nounced that this ban would also | apply to the district about the zone at the head of West Main street where the Bristol & Plainville Tramway Co., had its terminal, But to make certain that there is none are not synonymous. And, despite the presence of signs telling of the | restrictions, motorists continued to park where they pleased. The selectmen then ordered a | constable out on duty, and he began to direct autoists to drive on. But when one of the wiser drivers mere- ly told the officer, “Try and make me,"” it dawned upon the town of- ficials that they had provideu no penalty for the breaking of their decrce. Further investigation even revealed that the selectmen had had no authority to make the restric- fons, so that a nenalty would have been of no use had it been provided. Last summer the board set about obtaining parking restrictions by legal means, and In every step it had the advice of the town attor- ney, Judge B. F. Gaffney of New Britain. Acting upon his advice, a specfal town meeting was called and the voters adopted a restrictive or- dinance, providing the usual $2 pen- alty for its violation. This ordinance, {according to the attorney's view of | the statutes, was binding and legal. Observe Law for Two Weeks | New signs were procured and | again an effort was made to enforce e law, but the selectmen were soft-hearted with the first few vio- lators who were tagged and merely warned them not to repeat their of- fense. They didn't — immediately— and the others were warned, so that the forbidden arcas were clear for weeks. Then came another reaction, and | motorists, recalling the past good | to be part of Boston proper. These include Brookline, Dorchester, Ever- ett, Somerville, Cambridge, Chelsea and others and although inhabitants of these places state that they live in Boston, they really are not part of the great city, as each of these towns and cities has its own admin. istration and is listed separately in the list of cities. Greater Boston, if ever listed as one, would net the metropolis a figure close to if not exoeeding &, 000,000 inhabitants should all the adjoining towns and cities be in- corporated into the city proper, As it is, Boston s m0 hemmed in on all sides by these places having their own governments, that it has no chance to grow. ‘The other cities closely approach- ing the figures of the exclusive “set” are Baltimore with over 900,000 in- habitants, and 8t. Louls, which is close on the heels of the metropolis of the south. ‘What is New York? New York alone stands supreme among the big six with nearly 6. 300,000 humans within its limits. Of course here again crops up the ques- tion “What is New York?” Is it Manhattan and Bronx exclusive of Brooklyn, Queens and Richmond or all five boroughs taken together. Brooklynites of late maintain that they are not a part of New York and do not wish to be called New Yorkars, especially since Brooklyn began to outstrip limited Manhattan in population. Figures show that the “$24 island” has shown a drop | in population since the war of nearly 300,000, whereas Brooklyn, Queens and Bronx have taken in the deserters, forced out by the in- | flux of enormous office buildings. The next class boasts of seven members. This circle of cities hav- ing more than 500,000 inhabitants, but not approaching even the| ould-be exclusives,” includes San | Francisco, Washington, Buffalo, Pittsburgh, Milwaukee, Minneapo- lis and Newark. Of these, Washing. | ton shows the greatest gain since 1920, from 437,000 to nearly 575,000 or increase of 138,000 in eight years, a record comparatively not| surpassed by any other city in the union.

The 100,000 group lists 48 cities, making the total of cities of 100,000 popula- tion and more, 83. Connecticut has four cities belonging to the last named group, New Haven, Hartford, Bridgeport and Waterbury, and four other cities of more than 3 000 inhabitants, New Britain, Megi- den, Btamford and New London. Massachusetts has the largest number of cities belonging to the last group, a total of 17. Pennsyl- vania next with 16, Illinois third with 15, and New York fourth with 11. -There is only one state in the union which cannot boast of a single city with a population not even ap- proaching 30,000, and that is Ne- vada.
