REMINGTON WANTS
 $25,0O0 FOR LAND
Annexation Plan Will Probably
 Be Dropped for the Present

The proposed plan for the annex ation of land in the eastern section of the city does not appear to be feasi- ble at present. meeting was held in Mayor Quigley's office yesterday afternoon at which interested parties from this city and Newington gathered to discuss the proposition. and at the. close. when the views of Messrs. Erwin. Fish and Elliott of Newington were heard. tho chances faded and could be detected dwind- ling as fast as the expiring day.
 According to the visitors. their views were to be accepted as purely personal. The matter of final action on the matter would be handled through the medium of town meet ing Outlining the plan whereby the proposed city line may be adopted. the visiting delegation recommended that the City of New Britain pav to tho town of Newington a suitable sum or money to be placed in a bank drawing 4 per cent. interest. which would equalize the present income from the land, which amounts to s1- 1Ol.o1' This would mean that the city would be forced to dig down in the coHers for approximately s25,oo0, Wh1ch would be the lowest that would De considered, and with prospects that 1t might be increased to s5o,OOo. Figures brought out at the meet- ing showed that the proposed prop erty IS on the Newington grand list for $es,SSs and the town debt is s1Vo,Voo and the grand list totals, $2,- oOo'ooo. 1t was suggested to the Newlnston men that the City of New Britain take over the land in question for sum equivalent to the propor- ton Of the value of the land to the town debt. This, however, the visit ing delegation believed would meet with disfavor from the Newington voters. Another feature that the suburban representatives pointed out as unfavorable was the continuing of the Clayton crossing in Newineton. and should the proposed plan be adopted. 1t is likely that the grade crossing will become a local encum- berance. despite the fact that the city engineer did not include it In his plans.
 Those In attendance at the meeting were Mayor Quigley, Senator Klett Representatives Hall and Covert Councilman Gorbach, Corporation Counsel Cooper and Engineer Hall and the Newington officials.

Bum,

He's a little dog. with stubby tail,
 and moth eaten coat of tan, And his legs are short, of the abbly
 sort: doubt if they ever ran; And he howls at night while in broad
 daylight he sleeps like a bloomin'
 log.
 And he likes the feed of the gutter
 breed! he's most irregular dog. I call him Bum, and in total sum he's
 all that his name implies, For he's just tramp with a highway
 stamp that culture cannot dis
 guise;
 And his friends. I've found in the
 streets abound, be they urchins
 or dogs or men; Yet he sticks to me with a fendish
 glce. It Is truly beyond my ken. I talk to him when Pm lonesome-1ike,
 and Pm sure that he understands When he looks at me so attentively and gently licks my hand; Then he rubs his nose on my tailored clothes, but I never say aught thereat,
 l For the Good Lord knows I can buy more clothes, but never a friend 1 like that! 1 So my good old pal, my irregular dog
 my flet-bitten, stub-tai1ed friend, l Has become a part of my very heart | to be cherished till 1ifetime's end; And on Judgment Day. if I take the way that leads where the right. l eous meet,
 If my dog is barred by the heavenl, guard-we'll both of us brave the l heat!

Milk Campaign Statistics Watch
 for Your Milkman'S Name

In this space daily appears the re- suits of the laboratory examinations of milk sold in New Britain. While the health department makes a full chemical and refractive examina tion or each sample, only the amount of lat and the degree of cleanliness of the milk will be recorded here in or der that the reader shall not be con fused by an array of figures. The average milk contains from 3.5 per cent. to per cent. fat. The statute requires that 1t shall not be less than 8.25 per cont. fat. Milk should be clean, but mere trace of dirt does not signify dirty milk. On the oth- CT hand, there is no excuse for milk containing a small! or large amount of dirt. The housekeepers can do as much toward making the campaign @ success as can the board of health by reporting to both their milkdealer and the health department any adverse condition they find in the milk they buy. This daily report will continue throughout the month and later a full report will be made of the sanitary condition of the dairies In the city and on the farms.

In the Pace standard ized course in sccountancy the fund amental principals to be mastered arc not only classified ard arranged in concise form, to aid the student, but the text material contains complete data so that the student may also gain broad view of the science of business. The lessons are published in pamphlet form especially to meet the needs of employed men.

A. class. The work given along these same lines under the di- rectjon of William c. Woodford has proven very valuable and practical to the men who have completed the three semesters of the accountancy course.

BETHLEHEM MAY |
 SLICE B|G MELON
Directors Expected to Announce
 Increase in Capital

New York, Jan. 23.-Directors of the Bethlehem Steel Corporation are to adopt at 2 meeting today a plan for increasing the common stock by the sale of s15, 100000 new shares. The stock will be offered to present stockholders for subscription. It was learned yesterday that the rumors heard of late that a $50,000.000 bond issue was to be authorized were based
 upon nothing that the Bethlehem management has in mind for the present.
 In Wall Street it was thought that tho full increase voted by the direc- tors would be considerably larger than 16,00O,O00, and would involve big melon cutting" The consen- sus of opinion was that the common stock would be increased to the au- thorized total of $45,O00,000 of which $15,OOO,OOO would be divided among share owners as a stock diyi- dend of 100 per cent. This, with $16,-. OOO.O00 to be sold and the $15, 900, 900 now outstanding, would account for the full capitalization mentioned in | the rumors.
 It was understood that the stocl, l to be sold would be offered to old shareholders at par. The stock after l the increase is expected to carry an annual dividend of 20 per cent. which would be equivalent to 60 per cent. on l the $15.O0O,000 stock now .outstand- 1 ing. The shares brought in 30 per. cent. or $50 a share, last year. This payment was considered highly con-
 servative inasmuch as the corporation
 earned in 1915 s237 share above
 charges and expenses. The profits in 1916 have been estimated as high at $400 share, although adjustmen1 l due to taxes and extra depreciatioA 1 charges may reduce this figure suba l stantially when the full returns are. l in. @ l While the Bethlehem management
 has been silent about its financial l plans the street has felt for soms time that an increase of the stock | was imminent Extraordinary prof1tt 1 from war business, coupled with q 1 big return from it's commercial saleSl l in the last two years. made the total l capital of $30,OOO,000 in preferred 1 and common stock look small MT. | Schwab and his associates have fol- ] lowed the policy of returning earn ngs into new construction and bet tcrments instead of borrowing funds
 for the purpose. with the result that l large charges have been made to operation and depreciation, which
 could have properly figured in the
 capital account. A
 The corporation is said to be if
 small need of funds, owing to the big
 cash balances piled in the banks since the war began. Since the purchase or
 the Pennsylvania Steel company last
 year, the Bethlehem management has
 planned the outlay of about $1OO,-
 100000 on additions and improve
 ments to it's various subsidiaries, 8 large part of which is to be provided for out of earnings. It is assumed
 that the proceeds of the stock sale
 will be used in this connection also,
 and it is possible that bond issue may be authorized later.

THE SECRETARIES ANSWER.

Secretary of the Navy Daniels has voiced a scathing arraignment of the American steel manufacturers who have criticized this administration for awarding contracts for armor piercing projectiles to foreign firm. From the evidence in the case the American manufacturers would be found guilty by any. competent jury.
 The foreign firm outbid the Ameri- can steel manufacturers about S2OO a shell, offered to deliver the goods in much quicker time, and guaranteed goods that would meet the rigid tests applied by the Navy Department This last difference Is one Of the salient reasons for refusing the Amer ican made shells. As the Secretary points out, difference in price Is ex- pressed merely in dollars and cents; a difference in quality, upon which may no money can measure. The record of the foreign firm is clear on this point. The records of the American firms now aggrieved because of the lost con- tract are extremely bad. Only S.s per cent. of the shells submitted for test by one firm passed. Another submit ted shells 37.7 per cent. of which were found good. The highest mark reach ed was 73 per cent. by one firm.
 Answering the criticism of one com pany direct, the Secretary says:-"Un- til it is able to fulfill its contract. if does not become this company to criticise the Navy Department for awarding contracts to manufa cturers who can make shells that meet the tests.' The steel makers ask ed enough for their shells. Such goods should have been as good if not better than those purchased at a lower price

LuxurieS.
Providence Journal. )

Precious stones of an aggregate value of S51,4S2,262 were imported through New York in 1916, making new record. The previous high mark, established in 1913, was S46,137,32s From time to time during the year, attention has been called to the un- precedented receipts of diamonds and other gems as a barometer of high living
 It is a phenomenon plain to ordi- nary observation that the country Is spending money more than ever be- fore on comm odities which may be classcd as luxuries. And in spirit of self criticism we are apt to contra st our extravaganza with the frugal liv- ing of the peoples in the war coun- tries. With the latter, simplicity, even rigid self denial, not only accords with the serious mood in all classes of so- ciety but is encouraged or enforced by government. The decrees prohibiting inaportations are chiefly designed to prevent the people from spending their money on foreign products which they can get along very com fortably without while the embargoes on exports withhold the necessities of life and living.

IS THIS EFFICIENCY.
Patrons Of "Ncw Haven Arc Not or
 the Belief That It Is.

Local people were submitted to an- other sample of what the officials or the New Haven road might term efficiency last evening, when they ar rived at the Hartford passenger sta tion with the expectation of boarding the 1O:30 o'clock train. However, they were forced to wait until 11:4O o'clock.
 Last summer Senator Klett was the instigator of movement that caused the railroad officials to i'm prove the service but it looks as If the old plan was again in vogue. The passengers on the 7:20 o'clock east bound train, were forced to ride un- der frigid atmospheric conditions, the brakeman calmly informing ques- tioners that a broken pipe prevented giving any heat.
