GRADE CROSSING HEARING
 BEFORE PUBLIC UTILITIES
Corporation Counsel Tanning Repre-
 sented City of Norwich.

Tn the interests of the city, Corpora tion Counsel Joseph T. Tanning was before a hearing given on Tuesday morning at Hartford by the public utilities commission on the petition of the New York New Haven and Hart ford Railroad company for a suspen- sion of the orders of the commission for the elimination of grade crossings. The company in it's petition states. as a reason for asking for the suspension, that owing to it's financial condition 1t is unable to carry out the orders of the company's petition which states the position of the company is as follows:
 That owing to the demands on the revenues of said company, due to the large increases in wages recently com pelled, the installation of longer cross overs between main line tracks, the large renewal of ties and other struc- lures in ro9dbed. the renewal of bridges. the installation of new signal systems, and providing for steel car equipment, coupled with the difficulty in securing funds to provide for the additions and betterments described, 1t is imr ossible for your petitioner to carry out the orders already made by your commission for the elimination or grade crossings to complete it's statu- tory obligations for said fiscal year 1914"
 The commission reserved decision.
 Interests Represented.
 The company was represented by Attorney B. l. Spock and the city of Hartford by Corporation Counsel E.. L. Steele Attorney George c. Morgan of New London said he appeared for him self MT. Morgan in conversation ar rewards sad he was ''an unpaid attor- ney for tine general public
 The city of Norwich has a particular interest in this hearing because of the crossing at Eighth street which ir is desired 10 have eliminated.
 By law the New Haven company is required to eliminate one grade cross Ing each year for every 90 miles of road it operates. As long as they comply with the law. they can eXer- else their own choice as to what cross claim now that they have not compiled with the law or at least 0 question whether they have complied or not. the point is raised whether the public utill- ties commission may not now designate what crossings are to be eliminated, and 1t Is the hope here that the com mission may be induced to see that the Eighth street crossing is one which they should direct to have wiped out.
 Under the questioning of representa- tives of the railroad company by Cor poration Counsel Tanning it was brought out that the company now has 675 grade crossings existing in the eliminated nearly 250. In Massachu- setts the company has on it's different lines about 725 grade crossings It was suggested before the commission that at the rate the company is obliged to proceed in crossing eliminate at present, it would take about 40 years to set rid of all the grade crossings

TRADE SCHOOL EXPERT
 INVESTIGATING HERE
F. J. Trinder. Vocational Director of State Board. Locking Over the Field.

F. .Trinder of New Britain. who ls on the state board of education as director of vocational education. spent the day here on Tuesday and with School Superintendent E. J. Graham visited the Academy and also became acquainted with the industrial situation here so that in the evening he made a report to the town school board on the matter of establishing a trade school. The board heard his advice with interest and took his sug- gestions under consideration.
 From what he had learned while here Mr. Trinder said Tuesday after noon that he believed there was a. strong sentiment in the community for vocational training through trade schools and he stated that the diver sified character of the industries here. which he considered remarkable. of fered a wonderful field for the boys and girls if properly trained. He re- ferred to the great loss from school in the seventh and eighth grades and said that the pupils who leave school at that age make a living, it is true. but without any elevating construction in their makeup. The trade school training would teach them to become manufacturers themselves when athey grow up. America has the material in the boy, he said but we have got to make good mechanics out of them if we are to hold our place in the in dustrial life of the world.

 Phoenicians Built Carthage.
 When the Phoenicians landed on the shores of what is now known as the gulf of Tunis they found a country that was already civilized, with towns, laws, and perhaps a certain amount of oreder. Upon a hill they built their town now known as Carthage. The in habitants were traders and the city grew rapidly. As wealth and luxury increased, palace and temples dotted the neighboring hills, and Cathage be- came widely famed. The city. it is supposed, was protected by a series of three masonry walls. These wonder ful walls were used as stables. store houses and even dwellings. With each century Carthage became more m portant, wealthy and beautiful.
