HOLD HEARINGS ON
 PREPAREDNESS PLAN
Congressional Committees Hear Ar ouments in Behalf of Increasing
 Army and Navy.

Washington, Jan. 6-The question of national preparedness again today occupied the center of the stage III congressional committee activity.
 Hearings on the administrations national defense program were be- bun today before the house military affairs committee with Secretary of War Garrison as the star witness and the house naval affairs committee continued it's hearings on the annual naval appropriation bill.
 Secretary Garrison had prepared a detailed statement of the army's part of the preparedness plans.
 Rear Admiral Stanford, chief of the navy's bureau of yards and docks, resumed his statement as to the needs of additional naval sta tions when the naval committee again took up the yards and docks section of the naval bill. It probably will take some time to reach the all- im- portant construction provisions in the measure.

COMMITTEES HEAR
 ABOUT STORAGE CARS
President Brown of Company Ex- plains Various Phases of New
 t Trolley Line to Meriden.

meeting of the joint committees from Meriden, Kensington and this city on the establishment of the trolley line to the Silver City by the way of Keasington was held late yesterday afternoon in the rooms of- the Chamber of Commerce and dis cussed tentative plans.
 President Brown of the Storage Battery company was in attendance. He said that the estimate cost of building the line, and equipping !t with the proposed storage battery. cars would about $150,00O Az the state law does not allow the bonding of a railroad for over one-s half the cost. it would be necessary to issue bonds to the extent of $75,- 900. The committee talked the mat ter over with President Brown and it was agred to have him submit an agreement which the company is willing to give the packers of the proposed line. When this is done it will afford the committee an op- portunity of submitting a report to the directors. The storage battery type of cars is in operation in several places about the country and is reported to be a success. The oper- ation of such cars will save the ex- pense of 22 cents a pound for cop- per trolley wire.
