New Britain herald., 1917-08-11

James Pratt Rogers of 29 Camp street, who has been stationed at the officers training camp at Plattsburg since last spring, has received a com mission as second lieutenant in the field artillery of the National army. He previously saw service on the Mexican border last summer with Troop l. of Hartford. A brother, Phillip H., is member of the off, cers' reserve training corps of Will Hams college and is now stationed at the training camp at that place. They are 24 and 22l years old respectively and are the sons of Mrs. D. O. Rogers.
 Both boys are graduates of the New Britain Grammar school, the. New Britain High school and both have at tended college. Each could be hold ing down a responsible position. Yet they chose the alternative, obeyed that impulse and offered their services in

the military. It is needless to say they are succeeding admirably.
 This is the sort of boys that this city should be proud of and some interest should be manifested in them. New Britain has done its share in furnish ing volunteers for the navy, the army, and other branches of the service.
 Still, in lieu of all this, list of the names of those who have joined the colors to make the world safe for democracy has not been compiled. For just such a purpose the Herald is wag- ing this campaign, which should meet with the hearty approval of every public-spirited citizen.

Zone Measure
Has Strengthened
Realty Market
Beneficial Effect OF Law
Especially Evident in
Fifth Av. Section

In letter TO the coming committee,
Walter Stablcr. controller TO the Met
ropolitan Life Insurance Company, says
that the zone plan has greatly i'm
proved real estate values in the Fifth
av section. His letter is as follows:
"While only eight months have
elapsed since the passage of this reso-
luton, there are very decided evldences
i'm my opinion of the strengthening of
real estate values. particularly IN the
section Of the city contiguous TO Mad
isoa Square and IN the so-c"lled flth
av section.
ct hardly seems necessary TO re-
hearse the conditions which existed be-
fore the resolution was passed. as they
arc too we'll known to every one at
all interested IN real estate 70 make
rendition necessary. but there has been
a very decided improvement IN rental
conditions both as to occupancy and
10 rents obtained most Of which, IN
my opinion. has been caused by the
certainty felt by owners Of property
and bv tenants as well. that conditions
as they now exist vii! not change Tor
The worse. and that the buildings that
could now be occupied by obJecuonaDlc
classes Of business or manufacturing
must. Of necessity. diminish.
1T follows, OF course, that an I'M
