she asked me to pass around where
II might do tho most good. 1t was an
appeal from an organization of women
who wanted to help the suffering Bel
CLANS. Nothing new or original In
that. VI course. hut the foreword to
the appeal was rather unusual.
1T stated that whereas 5000 cities
and towns had been destroyed in Bel
GUM. 1000 homes had been RACED to
the ground and 5000, 900 women and
children were homeless, therefore. and
so forth. Well, | looked at II a min
ute TO be sure the figures were there
and then I asked my wife II there had
ever been as many as 5000 cities and
towns In Belgium. also IL 1000 homes
had been RACED 10 the ground and
5000, 900 women and children were
homeless how could there possibly
ever have been as many as 5000
persons In n home and ] was about
to make a few other remarks.
But I'm a goat II my wife didn't
fare up and say that II wasn't a mat
ter OF cold calculation, but a matter
of sore need and-and-and then. by
Jove. she began to cry and I handed
over a $40 bill and told her to go blow
II on the Belgians.
But, say, amt women the dar-
lings?"

DIDN'T PROVIDE
FOR DAMAGES IN
BRIDGE ESTIMATE
StratfOrd Avenue Structures
Commission Overlooked
Thousands.

Again the question of land damages
for the new Stratford avenue bridge
pops up and although it was generally
supposed that any land damages
would be provided for in 100000
bond issue, given for the bridge, it
now appears that the bridge commits
sion contracted for the bridge without
regard to the land damages.
In the requisition filed by the streets
and sidewalks committee of the COM
mon council 100000 is asked for this
purpose. When the question of WIDEN
ing Stratford avenue came up esti-
mates varying from $1,000 to nearly
$4,000 were made by the commission,
a special committee of real estate men
and the City Planning Commission.
The streets and sidewalks commit
tee this year asks for $478,OO0. OF
this 100000 is for water bound ma
cadam; $4,000 for three comfort sta
lions; $4,000 for proposed extension
of Boston avenue from North avenue
to Main street; sidewalks and grading,
$4,000; state highways, $1,000; new
sidewalks, curbs and cutters, $1,000:
general grading. $4,000; crosswalks,
$4,000; new watering troughs, $1,000;
removal of trees and setting back of
curbs, $4,000; general land damages,
$4,000.

the efforts now being made on its own
road and on it's connecting lines will
permit the present large volume of
business to continue and that it will
be necessary to put out so-called 'enn-
bargoes' and curtail service for only
limited periods Of time; but it feels
that it should state to you the situa-
ton that is confronting it at the pres
ent time-a condition brought about
by causes that are beyond its control.
The management will be glad to re-
ceive any suggestion from you who
represent both the public and the
railroads as to steps that can be
taken.''
The Pennsylvania Railroad an
nounced yesterday the removal of all

is no weH-deflned storm area this
morning between the Rocky

but considerable weather with an
occasional furry of snow prevails

ports Boom.

A serious drawback to Industrial
progress in the Park city is apparent
through indiscr1mfnate realty specu-
1ation and over-population according
to Secretary George w. Cove Of the
chamber of commerce..
investigation by that civic body
tends to show that unless remedial
measures, not I'M ST CHIT at the present,
are soon taken, neither factories nor
new residents viii invite themselves
to this city
I'VE have had several applications
from small factories to locate here
said Secretary Cove to a Farmer re-
porter today. 1--WE will probably get
one oxygen plant that will care for
the large quantity of that gas needed
in welding processes in this city, but
the larger factory will not consider
bridgeport today for two reasons:
That we have no labor market due to
shortage of houses. and because land
is held at too high a figure
promoters have come to this city
and boosted the price of land until
it is far beyond the reach of any in
dustria1 concern, and too high for the
erection of houses for Industrial Ia
borers. There is actually no land to be
had in Bridgeport today and all pros
pectfve housing ventures have fallen
by the board because of this fact.
IT believe, however, - continued
Secretary Cove. that the realty values
here are fictitious at the present time
and that prices have reached an apex.
Many property holders continue to
keep their holdings. however, in the
expectation of an increase in the
grand list. Later the bottom will
drop out and the associations now at
tempting housing projects may be able
to create a labor market that will

New HaVen's President Tells
Utilities Commission
His Beliefs.

President Howard Elliott of the New
Haven railroad who will come to this
city early next month to speak be-
the freight situation, has made a pub
Tic announcement giving his beliefs on
the congestion that has been apparent
for several weeks. Field men in the
traffic department have been ordered
to give their time to urging receivers
and shippers Of freight to use more
expedilency in loading cars.
The public announcement has been
addressed also to the Interstate Com
merce Commission and the Public Ser
Vice Commissions of Connecticut, New
Y ork, Massachusetts, and Rhode ISL
and. In his letter. he says:
\ ST desire to submit to you on behalf
of the New Haven Co. and it's allied
lines a statement about present con-
ditions due to congestion of business
on its own 1ines,> congestion in and
around New York harbor, and on
many of its connecting lines, condi-
lions which have been made much
worse by the great storm of Dec. 49,
IA. which seriously reduced the abil-
ity of the railroads to give a maxi
mum amount of service with the facil-
tiles at hand and by the storm of Dec.
26, which did much damage and de-
stroyed and retarded the work of re-
storing wire communications by tele-
graph and telephohe,-an and of clearing
the road of delayed freight. Prior
to the great storm of Dec. 1914, the
New Haven. road, with facilities that
in many places are VIII oily inadequate,
had been doing the largest volume of
business in its history, and has been
performing a task in handling that
business which is taxing its physical
facilities. The volume of business
may he evidenced by the following fig
ures, showing the number of cars of
freight loaded locally on New Haven
rails and the number of loaded cars
received from connections for the first
eight. days OF a number of months in
1915, as compared with the same eight
days in the same months in 1914 and
1913:
