The council says its report is based on a thorough investigation of exi: g conditions directed by the coun- cil’s merchant marine committee com- prised of James A. Farrell, president of the U. &. Steel Corporation, Robert Dollar, ‘export. mershant . and -shig- owner ‘of San Frangisco, and P. A. §. Franklin, vice president of the In- ternational Mercantile Marine com- Three Chief Objects. The three chief objects of a truly national shipping policy, says the re- port, “should permit and encourage the ‘development of a merchant fleet discharging - the following functions: first, to increase the national income and’ domestic prosperity through greater facilities for ‘the sale abroad of products of the soil and industry of the United States, through the im« portation of materials indispensable to life and industry and through the freights collected ‘from world com- to maintain under the flaz, et Gt it Alatant po: sessions; and third, to aid the nation- al defense and maintain commerce during the war whether the United States be belligerent or neutral.” Amount and Character of Tonnage. After an analysis of the amount and character of tonnage necessary to serve American foreign commerce be- fore the Buropean war, the council in its report reaches the conclusion that “with. the $50,000,000 derived from the bond issue not more than gross tons of shipping can be provided at existing prices or less than one-tenth of the minimum amount necessary - to establish the United States in the position sought. Nothing like 600,000 gross tons is available from the few nations which, during the war, permit alienation of their merchantmen vessels. Ameri- can shipyards will not guarantee de- liveries of new construction within two years. Rear Admiral Benson has testified that the utmost the navy yards can guarantee, if assured prompt i Without’ Definite Shipping Policy “In what situation,” asks the re- “does capital find itself when urged gradually to finance, at a cost of between one half billion and a bil- lion dollars, the construction of 6,000, 060 to 10,000,000 tons of steamships. First of all, it finds this country with- out a definite shipping policy. Where- as in England all policy, sovernmental and commercial, has long neaned to- ward shippins, American policy has ignored it.” The Séamen’s Act is de- clared to “impose certain restrictions on American vessels which do not ap- ply to certain other natlons,” and the pending shipping bill is held to be “barren of encouragement for privat owned shipping.” The Council add: t is not yet apparent whether the legislative mind desired to consider shipping as an industry which, when properly developed, will render eco- nomical service to American foreign trade, or as a service which should be so regulated as barely to exist.” Seamen’s Act’ Discriminating. The report finds that the Seamen’s | Act assumed to preclude discrimina- tion between American and: foreign Vessels, is only operative where those ships sail from . American ports, and points out that the great number of foreign ships not touching our ports will have a distinct advantage over American ships forced by the nature of trade conditions “to live on the odd legs of the circuitous voyage netes- sary to avold return in ballast.” Dependent Upon Tramp Steamers. The report finds that the greater ican marine will be dependent upon tramp steamers because the ton- nage of exports is about double that of imports necessitating the manoeuv- ring of cargo vessels “all over the map in order to obtain return car- goes.” Opposed to Predetermined Policy. In favoring the creation of a non- partisan shipping board, the council is opposed to that board being “chain- ed” to any predetermined policy of government ownership or operation of vessels or the-wholesale regulation of ocean freight rates. It urges that the smpmng board be free constructively Tecommend to congress the meas- um necessary to the maintenance of American shipping upon an equitable competitive basis with other nations. COMPILES RECORD OF FIRE CALLS SINCE 1881 Department Had But Nine Alarms in 1881 and 1882. Local Chief Howard L. Stanton has made 2 research of the fire Tecords from the year 1881 to April 1, 1916, of all fires. In 1881 th efire department responded to three alarms during the whole year, and during the next year they hal six calls. From 1881 to 1890 there were only two telephone calls. At the pres- ent time the calls are mastly telephons s. Chiet Stanton prefers bell alarms, as then the department knows where to go, while on the other hand people become excited whiléstelephoning and sometimes it is hard to get the right information as to where the fire is located. The figures compiled by Chief Stan- ton follow: TUBERCULOSIS COMMISSION FAVORS DAIRY BiLL. Say Federal Supervision of Dal is Good Way to Insure Pure Milk. It was decided at the meeting of the state tuberculosis commission this week to proceed just as soon as the 1oss caused by the fire last week is ad- justed with th erebuilding of the su- perintendent's biome in Shelton. 1t is expected that the insurance will cover the cost of a new house. The commission considered a com- munication from Consressman J. Charles Linthicim of Maryland asking the commission’s support of a bill be~ fore congress for the federal super- vision of dairies. Tt was decided that the following reply be sent by Dr. Ma- her, president of the commission, to the congressman: “The Connecticut state tuberculosis commission is strongly in favor of any ly 1, 191: July 1, 1915, to April ASSIGNED TO DUTY WITH TENTH COMPANY.

The doctor read papers on dental supervision in tuberculosis work and on employes’ relief associations. Dr. Lyman was re-elected a member ©of the executive committee of the na- tional association.
