WINrER CARE nF rAcKLE.


 ''It is a source of great surprise to me-" said a veteran angler, ito find that some men have any tackle at all left over from the preceding year, when see the careless way in which they treat it. Rods are dumped hastily into some garret corner, often dry and hot enough to warp a telegraph pole. Lines still wet from the last days fishing are tossed into an envelope to mildeW or are left to run on the reels. The reels themselves, put away damp, uncleaned and without oil, are, of course, bound to rust and give poor service the fol- lowing season. Hooks are tumbled in with the damp line, the steel to corrode, the gut to dry and crack and split When the unfortunate, who thus leaves things to care for themselves, loses a. big fish on the opening day of the next years sport by the sudden parting of a rotten line, he breaks into torrent or abuse directed against the innocent tackle maker, and goes straight to some shop to buy a complete new outfit, de- claring that last years stuff is never good any way.
 'Now, all of this can be, and should be, avoided. An hour or so of care at the end of the season will insure the preservation of rod, hooks and lines. Every rod joint should be carefully strengthened before it is put up for the winter. The tips, especially, are bound to be more or less set from the constant downward strain. The remedy for this is to lay them on flat board and tack leather strips across, holding them down to the plane surface. By keeping them damp 8, few days you can readily warp them into proper shapes. Next give good rubbing down with mix ture of powdered pumice and sweet all to take off the cracked and broken sur face of the old varnish. and then two 1 thorough. coats of thin varnish, allow ling plenty of time for the first coat to dry before applying the second. You must always look to see that the guides and whipping are complete and in good order, and repair any frayed or loose ones before putting on the preservative. This dressing fills all the pores of the wood and shuts out all decay. Then lay the rods and their cases on a shelf in some room of moderate temperature. Standing them against a wall is a bad practice, as it tends to bend and set the wood.
 Reels must be carefully taken apart cleaned of all rust and grit, and oiled Lines should be removed from the reels first wiped off with a damp cloth, and when dry with an oiled one, and then wound on a flat bit of board. Hooks should always be dipped in oil before being stored away, and grease will also
 keep the gut smells moist and pliable.
 Artificial files require more car' than all the rest of the outfit put to- fgether. A whole army of buffalo bugs
 moths and sinners are on the lookou
 for the soft feathers and silks. Tak'
 every one out of the hook, and aftel

AN OPEN LETTER
s~s vTTTTT Director of; Public Works James B

 To Director of, Public Works James B.
 Coe.
 New Haven, Conn.,, March ?, 1903. James B. Coe, Esq, Director of Public
 Works: ,s
 Sir-At the hour of Ii o'clock-exact time-on Saturday. forenoon, February 2S, 1903, an incident in which many suf- fering persons were interested took place at the Chapel street bridge, over Mill river, to which your attention as superior offfcial--in rank-and having authority over the many city bridges and highways, is respectfully and earn estly called.
 The draw at the hour previously mem toned was opened for steam tug and a coal barge making snail-like prog ress. After these small craft had even- tually succeeded in getting below the Yale boat-house the draw was still kept open, placing blockade on the trolley service, and on everything having occa- sion to cross this much-used bridge, in anticipation of some brick scow or oth- CT vessel from Barnesville bridge or the English wharf that might in the course of time want to go through to the har- bor below.
 f Apparently the management was too lazy or indifferent to manipulate the draw in a correct manner and relieve the congestion which was accommodating every moment. The cold February rain was falling in sheets and torrents, to the great discontinue of many pedes- trians and others. There were at least l efIn that for nearly an hour were kept pain fully and cruelty shivering in wintry and merciless=pelting storm. The r1e- cessity for this wrong and cruelty did not exist, and was not in evidence.
 Please be so kind as to thoroughly irl- vestigate, and take notice of the above statement of facts. Yours turly,
 c. w. BRADLEY.

\ CROWDED HOUSE AT THE
 HTRSH STORES,

All day yesterday and until late in the evening the spacious Hirsh stores were crowded by good natured throng of people who knew well what they had gathered there for and knew equally well that they would find just what they were in search of. As is very gen. orally known the fifth subscription wholesale tailoring event was lon" yes terday at the Hirsh stores, and the peo- pie from far and near testified their ap- preciation Of that fact by visiting that famous clothing house and ayailing themselves of the extraordinary advant- ages offered during a few days of the present week. To-day there will with out douht be another large crowd there, and the same conditions will continue up to the closing hour of the sale. It is no exaggeration to say that the Hirsh brothers have revolutionized the cloth ing business in this city. Their enter prise, business sagacity and liberal dealings with the public have made their name and fame household words" The public believe their words knowing that their words and their deeds correspond.

ways in other cities, since any figures obtained would be difficult of compar- ison. In most instances the. companies pay state, local and license taxes of various kinds; very few taxes are im- posed upon the most valuable assets of these corporations, namely, the franchise to use the public highway. We believe that the New Haven street railway lines pay as much Tn taxation approximately as most ur- ban street, railways, and we favor rather reduction in rates of fare than an attempt to increase taxation.
 Your committee has analysed the figures given by the Fair Haven & Westville company for the year ehding June, 1902, in it's report to the railroad commission, and tabulation ot the same. The street railway in Spring field, Mass, has been valued by experts at $33,000 a mile. AS this valuation is admittedly a fair one for that company, we have taken that valuation as a basis for estimating the actual value of the New Haven line. As the Springfield railroad is in much better condition than the local one, our valuation IS an extremely liberal one.
 We find shat the franchise value C'watered stock'') of the New Haven line is at least $1,S00,000, on which dlV- idends of per cent. have been. paid.
 We find that if the fare charged had been four cents instead of five the com pany would have been able to pay all fixed charges and a dividend of at least six per cent on the actual value Of us capital stock (that is, on the value oi the construction, exclusive of it's mon-
 opoly privlege).
 In accordance with our instructions
 the chairman of your committee re-
 quested reply from the Fair Havef
 x Westvile railroad to sections nln' , and eleven of the resolution undel which we have acted. The reply wa I as follows:
 New Haven, Ct., Jan. 3, 1903.
 w. Trueman, Esq, Chairman Specia
 Committee, Board of Aldermen New Haven, Conn.,.
 Dear Sir:-In reply to your favor
 December 11th and 31st, we respect lully dHoWc4.
 To section Q:
 We are of the oponion that our boar would gladly see the law changed s , that the taxes paid by the compan to the state should be divided by tn state euuitably among the towns i which the company operates tn tracks.
 As to lower fares, we have alread reduced them as low as practicable. To section il:
 2 As to the sale of the property, ths = is a question for the individual stock Q holders to decide.
 ] The board of directors has no al s thority to sell the property. Respectfully yours,
 James s. Hemingway, President e It will be noticed that no reasons al @ given for the alleged impracticapilit c of reduction of fares, and it is to " regretted that no officer Of the roe - saw fit to respond to the invitations e the committee to appear at its hea @ ings on this subject and state u e reasons, if any there are. why four-cel " fares should not he given.
 Our calculations show that evt h with no increase in traffic four-ceI l. fares would pay 8 fair dividend (
The daily morning journal and courier., 1903-03-03

the actual capital invested. and the experience of other cities shows that when franchises are open to competi- tion four and ttree-cent fares are of- fered.
 The chairman of your committee went to Cleveland, O.. to discuss this question with the Hon. Tom L. Johnson, who is the conspicuous au- thority on street railrads. Mir. John son was asked whether it was prob able that capital could be obtained to give three-cent fares in New Haven if a franchise for a new company could be obtained. He replied that his offer to the city Of Cleveland might be cited as an example os what might easily be obtained for New Haven. It has been shown, where reductions in fares have been made, that the in- creased traffic offsets the loss through reduction, and we believe that it would be practicable and profitable for the New Haven line to glve tour-cent fare. If this cannot be secured, we fa- vor the acquisition of the street rail- way lines by the city, believing that either under municipal operation or by leasing the lines under careful re- strictions, three-cent fare could be obtained.
 | In addition to the above various ap- pendixes were filed giving additional details as to the Detroit three cent
 fares, price of tickets in Montreal, the
 contest in Columbus. O., and tabula- i tion of the earnings, expenses, etc., Of
 the Fair Haven & Westville railroad in
 illustration of the theory presented that
 a four cent fare would be adequate for dividends.
 Alderman McGuinness then made a motion that when the board adjourned
 it should adjourn for two weeks from
 last evening. This was carried.
 The majority and minority reports ot
 the committee on ordinances in refer
 ence to the licensing of stationary en- gineers were then read. This matter
 has been delayed for some time, and
 there were a large number or people
 present last evening who were interest
 ed in it's adoption.
 The majority report was opposed tt
 the appointment of d licensing commit
 tee, but favored the appointment Of al
 inspector whose duties should be th'
 inspection of the engineers and seeing that they were competent men, while the minority report favored the peti ton. l.. Alderman Dawson moved the adop F ton of the minority report, and Alder man Strong amended the vote for al ! adoption of the majority report. Tn amendment was lost by vote of l5 t 6, and the minority report was then ac cepted by the same vote. The ordl nance was then declared carried, Assistant Clerk Martin then starte' to read a communication in reference t some new ordinances to regulate car riage rates and the licensing ot drivers It was in reference to redistricting tn city and enlarging the distance one ca ride for fifty cents. He was interrupt | ed in his reading by motion to ad iourn, which was carried.
