 Arc Not P1ofitcers.
 There are many other cases where members of the Taxpayers as sociation can be shown in other light than that of rent profiteers- This rent protiteering talk is all rot, and Is simply started as bunk for poli- tical purposes. The people of New Britain have been fed this line of vote getting bunk in the past by this same man, who now advocates an in- crease in taxation, yet he advises rentpayers to avoid increases in rent by voting for higher taxation. He is the same man who took up the case of the poor washerNoman for cheaper water rents, and later v.I came out for municipal ice. in the interests of the poor man who could only afford five cent pieces of ice: also the poor housewife who was hay ing & hard time making the pay envelope elastic enought to meet the needs of the family.

That little eNperi- ment cost the taxpayers of New Bri- tain cold sum of s19,000. accord ing to an official report. and the Lord only knows how much more. II is now ancient history what a fiasco the 50 cents q bushel potatoes proved to be. In place of potatoes at 50 cents a busl1el, the taxpayers were burdened by sizable bill from the II. R.
