 Underneath the tracks at the pass enger station Is a large gasoline en- zine which provides compressed air for gang of iron workers and the noise and the various forges where rivets are being heated give the place the appearance of a boiler factory in full operation.
 What is really happening is the re- placing of hundreds of tons of plates and braces which have rusted to a point where they are worthless if not actually dangerous. Ever since last June a gang, averaging at least thirty men, employed by c. A. Sibley a contracting engineer of New Haven has been taking out these plates braces, and beams, and putting new ones in their place.

 Zn Meat Prices
Prices Nearing Pre-Wa Level-Butter and Pota-
 toes Much Cheaper.

Chicago, Nov. 29-Chicago, the meat center of the world, started the business week to- day with meat prices nearer the pre-war levels than they ever have been before. Dec 1arations that the bottom has fallen out,' and that the period of ''normalcy'' will be reached very shortly are freely made by leading retailers.
 Pork heads the list with a decline in price during the pas+ few days that is little short of sensational. Loin pork was sold month ago at 3s to 45 cents a pound. It can be bought today for from 22 to 27 cents a pound Pre-war prices for this meat were from IS to IS cents. ork chops also have declined dropping from 50 to 55 cents a month ago to 25 and 30 cents a. pound today.
 Grass fattened beef has recorded a decline of approximately 35 per cent. dealers declare. Corn fattened beef has not shown any marked decline as yet. But with the drop in the price of corn, more of this grain is being fed to stock and increased offerings on the market are expected to bring corn fattened beef to the price level of other meats within the next few weeks.
 C her comm oddities that have shown sharp declines here recently are butter, which has declined cents per pound in the last week; sugar, which has declined to 10 cents cents pound last spring to 10 cents a. pound; potatoes. which were Is cents a pound a year ago and have dropped to 8 3h cents a pound now; coffee, Hours, milk, bread, canned goods and apples.
 Eggs and oranges continue to be the aristocrats of the family. Ia ble prices of these edfbles continue to turk near the peak reached during the war.

 Tine work was conamenced at Union street and has now gone far as the station. It is said that it will have to go on as far as the drawbridge, at any rate. on the main line, and for quite a distance on the Danbury Divi- sion also. There are portions of the grill work on the railing to the East bound platform which have rusted en- tirely through.
 The structure was built sixteen years ago. It has not been painted for twelve years. In comparison with the life of this structure work man employed on it told of helping to take down a bridge over tn, Quin- ipiac which had been up sever ty-five years without having to have ,tny of it's part replaced because of rust ] It would seem as though the rail- road in this case had been fol1t wing fits favorite pastime of saving a A my and losing a pound.

The session of the council was se- cret, but it was understood that the decision for a mandatory commission was unanimous.
 The American note to Great Britain protesting against favors shown to British oil interests in MeSopotamla, for which country, Britain holds mandate, was a bombshell for the as- sembly meeting. It promises to fur i1ish material for vigorous debate later on.
 Americas note involves not only the oil controversy. but the whole queS- ton of the rights of a mandatory power to exercise special privileges In the country for which it holds a man. date. Furthermore, it involves the right of the United States, O non- member of the League, to interfere in decisions of the League Interpreting war treaties
 Lord Robert Cecil, representative power taking a mandate for small and feeble state should have special privileges in dispoSing of the re- Bources of that state in view of the cost of exercising the mandate. Lord Robert Cecil is supported by Senator MiBlen, Minister of Repatriation for Australia and one of the most forci- ble members of the assembly.
 What right has America to at tempt to tell us what we should do?' declared Senator Millen. The Unit of Nations. She lodged all respon- stbility, but now she claims privi- leges.
