He said he did not believe the time was right for £bs>- lute prohibition, but believed that zoms gress should have been given the power to regulate the manufacture, sale and prohibition if necessary. Regarding the labor situation he said he earnestly hoped a settlement wouid be soon reached. He said that he be- lleved that lahor should have the right to strike if they wanted to, but that jahor should not prevent those wha wished from working. He also said some legislation should he made to pre- vent a strike that would cripple the na- tion. Regarding the-honus bill, Congressman Freeman sald that he had apposed. it be- cause he helieved that the disabled vet erans should be taken care of and shoull he educated as it was their right to demand.

NEWSPAPER READERS SHOWN ON INCREASE IN STATE The fourteenth census shows that Connecticut had 136 publications in 1919, eight mere than in 1914 and four less than in 1909. However, the ag- gregate circulation to an issue ma- terially increased in each five-year pericd, being 704,128 for 1919, against 611,685 for 1914 and 539,765 for 1909, the increase in ten years therefore, being 164,363 of which 71,920 was from 1909 to 1914 and 92,443 from 1914 to 1919.

MOTOR VEHICLE REGISTER 18 ISSUED FOR 1922 The Connecticut motor vehicle regis- ter for 1922 has just issued by the Ryder Publishing Co., of New Haven, making an exceedingly useful book for motoris!s as it contains the complete listof every licensed car up to July 1, 1922, and is to befollowed by a supplement on Sept. 15, which will complete the registra- tion list up to tnat time. Besides the registration list, the book contains sueh useful information as the motor vehicle laws with a statement of | the poliey of enforcement, illustrations of the important rules of the road, Con- necticut headlight regulations, and sig- nalling directions. State Highway Commissionier C. J. Bennett contributes the following outline of the work and aims of the Connecti- Gut highway department. The highway department s entruste with the duty of constructing and main- taining all roads and bridges on state trunk lines or state aided highways, and in the performance of this duty expends approximately $7,000.000 per year. The mest serious problem confronting us at the present time is the replavi- ment of highways built prior to 191 These highways, in general, were no- constructed sufficiently strong to carry the traffic which developed through fhe war and which bids fair to continue in the future. There are approximately 700 miles of this tvpe of road which has been constructed by the state, aad eventually must be replaced with more modern types of surface. The cnst of remewing this amount of road, under present conditions and with present prices, will be aapproximate.y $22,000,000, proving that it will be im- possible and impractical for us to at- tempt to do the work all at once. Abjut the best that can be done under ex'st- ing conditiens will be to construct about $1,500,000 worth of work during easn calendar year, this amount of money ta be procured out of the automobile fees, which it is hoped will in the future pro- vide not only for the ordinary main- tenance of roads but also furnish the above amount of money for reconstric- tion purposes. It ‘would seem fair that the motorist should pay in fees a sufficient amount of money to provide the excess service which the motor is constantly demand- ing. The benefit goes to the motorist, and should eventually result in a de- crease in the cost of operation. The ser- vice furnished by the state highway de- partment to the motor vehicle of course, of vital importance. The department is entrusted not only with the maintenance of roads as noted abpye, but has made a persistent a successful effort to keep the roads fr and clear 50 that the motor may oper- ate as nearly as possible for the entire year, ‘The clearing of snow is ome of the most important things we have to do in the winter time, and it is fair to say that at present there is less delay from snow storms and smow drifts than there is from the mud and frost upheaval in the spring. This latter condition can only be obviated by the replacement of inferior types of roads by hard-surfaced pavements, which. uf course, can only be done as the money becomes avaflahle.
