Dublin is one of the finest cities In

WHAT WILL THE ANSWER BE?

How much good the visit of the of- ficials Of the Connecticut company to this city will do remains to be seen. It is earnestly hoped that it will re- suit in the early building of the de- sired lines, though the statements of the officials could not be interpreted as enthusiastic. The objection that the running to Maplewood cemetery would require several minutes was re- futed by the time which the car lays over at Backus corner. and it would be possible for the company to reduce it's running time on the West Side line by raising the side bar when run ming through the center of the street on the single line from Franklin square to the city line. This would facilitate patrons getting on as well as off the cars and expose them to no dangers which the bar is supposed to guard against This extension is greatly needed and will get a large patronage from the vicinity which it serves as well as the Lefingwell community. besides the many who desire to reach the cemetery from the city.
 It must have been apparent to the officials that there was need for all the extensions asked for. Norwich has waited long and patiently for the improvements, asked for them in a fair manner and treated the company courteously and considerably in the demands asked of them. While they indicated their appreciation of thess facts. it is relief which the citizens are looking for.

RATES FOR EXPRESS.

It is more than probable that the ex- press companies will be prepared with long list of reasons, why. in their minds, the proposed express rate regu- lations made by the interstate com meree commission should not be en- forced on the first of November. From the public there will be a joyful well come for the change in rates which have been found so unreasonable and yet continually adding to the enormous profits of the respective roads. There will be a double welcome if 1t is dem onstrated as suggested by the commits sion that 1t will reduce the cost of iv- ing. It is something along that line which makes a personal appeal to the man who pays the bills.
 In making the average reduction Of 15 per cent, the expectation is that it will stimulate business enough to counteract any loss the idea of small eraprofits and larger business being ex- pected to work out to the satisfaction of the companies. The plan divides the countries into zones with stated rates therein and stated rates to other zones, the ascertaining of which is simple and easy. These zones are ap- proximately fifty miles square. the rate to all points in each is the same.
 The shifting of the burden of ex- pense from the small package to the large gives the consumer the same op- portunity as the big dealer, where for mer1y it was decidedly unequal The ultimate consumer gets from the change the lower rate and an equal chance at competition with the mid dleman It is. however, in the reduc- : tion on the big as we'll as the small that the people must look for the ben eft.
