NEW LONDON COMPANIES CONTEST
Several Want New Fire Apparatus But Thomas Hose Com pany Will Get H-Dart Property to Be Bought For 16,OOO For Direct Drive-Traffc and Fire Proven ton Ordinances

at the corner of Howard and Bank
 streets owned by ex-Mayor M. Wilson
 Dart and at the meeting of the coun-
 ci1 on Monday, the special committee
 was authorized to purchase the Dart
 property at the agreed price of $l6,OoO
 the sale to be effected by May 3, 1913. Aside from the benefits of a public na- ture that may come from the m provement. the widening of Howard street at Bank is of itself sufficient to
 warrant the appropriation, for that has become an exceedingly dangerous point since the coming of the auto mobile. The work will be commenced in the very early spring and it is ex- peeted that the work will go on with. out serious interference with the in creased summer traffic.
 A committee of the court of com
 mon council is now struggling with the problem of traffic ordinance that they hope to make strong enough to withstand public and private criticism combined. Once a traffic ordinance is adopted it will be enforced to the letter and be applicable to all kinds of vehicles not excepting the trolley cars, that certainly need regulation. The committee is giving the subject the most careful attention anG study and have sought the advice of own CTS and operators of all kinds of ve hicles. It is understood that the or dinance will contain provisions relat- ing to standing in the streets. of all heading in the same direction when at a standstil1 and many other details for the public convenience and safety The ordinance will provide that troll ley cars and all other vehicles shall come to a standstill on the approach of fire apparatus going to or coming from fires. and also specify that auto mobiles must not pass trolley car while the car is at a standstilI taking OF or discharging passengers. The committee will endeavor to have the ordinance ready for the consideration of the council at the next regular meet ing.

Civilization, no less than NaPoleon's army travels on it's belly It must be fed before it can march. The great soldier never allowed his troops to get far ahead of his supply trains. But we are more eager to increase the number of consumers than to enlarge the limits of production. As a result, we are having to haul our supplies from long distances at inordinate cost

To me it seems a simple truism. mere axiom, that the nearer we can come to making production and con- sumption balance each other with ir our own limits the higher will the rise. The true spirit of a common wealth is not only each for all, but all for each,-which is a quite differ ent thing, when you come to study it out.

Nevertheless and notwithstanding, I'm not running the world and other people look at it through different cracks in the barn. There are d good many who are deeply interested in this matter of farm credits. A little happening out in Ben1ioji, Minn.. last winter, seems to me to suggest a pos sibIe way in which farmers might manage to secure the most efficient credit possible at the very cheapest rate

The country around 5enaidii is said to be almost ideal for sheep ranches There are no sheep there. at present, for the reason that the farmers Who took up the land followed out the orthodox western system of corn and BAeat,-or tried to. Now that ex- Sa@rience has shown them their farms are better adapted for sheep pastur- age, they lack the knowledge how t" get the animals, and what would be the best breeds for them They are also short of money to buy large 1ocks at high prices

Seems to me 1t would be more for the interests of the cities to make sure of such supplies from their im- mediate neighborhoods than even to greatly enlarge their own population. Seems to me it would be the mark of long-headed business sagacity, while fostering manufactures in all feasible ways to, at the same time encourage by every practicable means the pro ductivity and prosperity of the sur rounding farm lands,
