PRESIDENT JONES REPLIES
Fails to See Court ot Commerce as
 MelIsn Sees it,

MeIIsn Sees it,
 President Andrew J. Jones of the State Business Mems Association has written a letter to the state editorial association replying to the latest com municstion by President Melien, dis. agreeing with the latter on the feasi. bility of a "court of commeroe" to deal with the public service corporations. President Jones writes among other things:
 MT. Mellen's suggestion that it is undesirable for the state to secure political board or administrative com mission to manage the business of public service corporations, seems to me entirely sound. The business men do not now ask for any such manager. ial commission and the bill whichthey have drafted for presentation to the general assembly does not provide for any such board.
 "In general the administrative com. mission suggested by, that bill could act only in specific cases brought before it by complaining in matters essential to safety it could act on it's own initia- tive. It is given no managerial powers and is not intended to supplant the directors of public service corporations, or to usurp any of their legitimate powers. It will be effective however. in my opinion to protect the public in Its dealings with those quasi-publio corporations.
 "The difficulty with Mir. Mellens court of commerce is that it will not be effective to this end. To attempt to insure public safety, adequately of ser vice or reasonablenss of rates by broad extension of the present powers of in- junction seems to me both unwise and impracticable.
 Tn almost every concrete case Mir. Mellsn's suggested remedy by injunc- tion will be found to be impraoticable to really cure the existing evil. Would it not tend, on the contrary, to increase litigation with its attendant delays and expense and to greatly argument 'judiclal Legislation, and the much criti- cised government by injunotionT
 "I am fully in accord with MT. Mel lens high opinion of our judiciary. But why can we not obtain men of the same character and ability to serve on an efficient public utilities commission as on an inefficient court of commeroe"

Club Note Sl

Editor News: That was a happy out ward expression of a kindly thought which prompted Mrs. George l.. Parsons to invite the Cranford club to meet at her home on Main street last Thursday afternoon. While not herself member, her friendly interest was still further manifested by inviting also those who were once members of the Cranford ,and a goodly number responded to the in vitation and a delightfully."- pleasant club reunion was the result of the gracious hostess charming idea. After the reading of well prepared and ex- cellent paper by Miss Bertha Granger on Luther and the Reformation, :" followed by a choice reading on Luther, by Miss May Smith, dainty refreshments were served and the cheerful sunny rooms were filled with the chatter of voices feminine. It was indeed a most enjoy able affair of the kind that makes one feel that the only display worth while and remembered the longest in human hearts, Is that of genuine friendliness and sincere kindliness. These are the real blossoms in social life that bear a lasting fragrance. B.H.

TO be, to formulate plan of fire protec- trict, and provide for the development and expansion of the system to cover the district as speedily as circumstances will allow, beginning with the business section and protecting first the districts that most need professionalism it must be admitted, in all reason, that if the business section were wiped out the ad- jacent districts would in consequence suffer depreciation as well as inconven- fence.
 The plan would necessarily involve the laying of larger water mains and the installation of hydrants on the ad- ed by President Lyles to present the proposition to the fire district at it's an nual meeting next month, may be relied on to prepare an argument and produce facts and figures that will show a care ful regard for the interests of all con- cerned, and demand the earnest consid- eration of the voters of the fire dis trict
 The subject of a chemical engine. which was discussed to some extent, Monday night, may commend itself to the fire district generally as feasible and preferable solution of the matter, especially with reference to the outlying l districts, where the water service is not at present adaptable for firemen's use. In many town @ chemical engine is the sole and sufficient apparatus of the fire department, and in most cities chemical engines are used as auxiliary to the regular equipment. The chem ical engine gives quick and effective service, and is sufficient in cases of in- cipient fires and fires that have not as- stunned the proportions of ':confaga- tions. or spread over considerable ter ritory, where the resources of the chem ical engine would become exhausted be- fore the flames were under control. And it has this advantage-that where fire is extinguished by the use of a chemical engine the familiar sequel, "the water did more damage than the fire,' is ob- viated.
