JAY-WALKING AGAIN /
TOPIC OF DISCUSSION
Curtis VS.. Rice Verbal Duel
Brings Compliments for Mayor

Councilman Henry Rice's proposed
ordinance directed against jay-walk-
ers still continues to stir up public
interest, and Mayor Curtis is receiv-
ing compliments from all quarters
following the account of the verbal
battle at the mayors Office which
took place yesterday. Both the mayor
and Councilman Rice expressed them
selves in a manner which left no
doubt in the readers mind as to how
the respective advocates of the jay
walking policy stood The following
is a letter received by the mayor
this morning:
Mayor o. F. Curtis,
City Hall,
New Britain, Conn.
Dear Sir:
If the report beginning at the head
of the fifth column on the first page
of the New Britain Herald of last
evening is a correct one, think you
are to be commended for your atti-
tude toward the proposed Jay-Walk@
ing ordinance with teeth in it, It
seems to me that Councilman Wall is
correct when he points out that the
for itself by passing such an ordi-
nance. An ordinance that is not en-
forced is a little worse than useless.
To enforce this one in times of rush
on the main streets, such as the noon
hour when all the people are leaving
the shops and Offices, would be prac-
tically impossible. Aside from this
consideration, the desira bility of pen
tiec for cifjZpnS who NEGLECT to walk
across the public street at the place
prescribed seems very questionable.
am entirely without advice as to the
legal phases of the matter, but it
also seems very open to question
whether the City of New Britain is
competent to legislate that a citizen
may not walk across the public way
at any but a prescribed place. The
regulation OF vehicular traffic in the
streets is different matter and the
| driver of an automobile is usually
glad to comply with the regulations
in regard to the movement of We
lhicles because it is for his own ad-
vantage and greater safety. If the
matter is allowed to stand just where
it is now, l, for one, will undertake
to follow the white lines and lead
| others to do so; but if the city passes
an ordinance with teeth in it, I
shall feel disposed to have myself ar
/ rested as often as I can afford to and
to make as strong test case of the
LEGALITY of the ordinance as can be
made-if one can be made at all
and I am ordinarily a very law
abiding citizen. But 1 am certainly
strongly opposed to the enactme lent of
penalties in such a matter as this.
/ look upon it as an unwarranted
abridgement Of the liberty of citizens
and an undue and unnecessary inter-
ference with them. Hartford went
crazy over the daylight saving mat
ter, New Britain remained sane. 1t
is to be hoped that New Britain will
mot deem it wise to follow the ex-
ample of Hartford in this so called
| "jay-walking" business.
When will legislators learn that it
is often as wise to refrain from 1egis-
lating as it is to legislate?
I am very respectfully yours,
A CITIZEN.

patrons who did not require the fifty
tWo-trip ticket because they commuted
only semi-occasionally, it was well un-
derstood that this ticket would have
no sale from Washington on the Falls
Church division to Falls Church, as its
rates would be somewhat higher than
the present twenty-five-trip ticket. 1t
was felt, however, that it would have a
considerable sale on other sections of
the property on both divisions. as it's
rates would be between the f1fty-tWo
and twenty-five trip tickets.

ticket is allowed by the Interstate
Commerce Commission, in the course
of a short time this company would
petition for the withdrawal of the

company is not asking for the with

it is merely asking for the privilege
OF installing this twenty-six-trip tick

change must have the full approval
of this body. The company desires to
state that it has no intention Of Pc

sires to install the twenty-six-trip
ticket. to give its patrons a better Sc

Mr.. Stratton also commented on Mr..
Sharp's recent statement regarding
the conference between the represent
atives Of the various commuters as

held the evening of September 20. Mr..
Sharp had contended that this con-
ference was arranged for no other
purpose than to endeavor to assuage
the indignation certain to arise upon
the fling by the road of schedules
intended ultimately to impose further
increases on its patrons. In this con-
nection Mr.. Stratton said:
Mr. Sharp is in error in his con-
clusion. The object of the meeting
referred to was to get the general
ideas of the various associations for
forming a definite policy for the fu-
ture. It was decided following tbs

as Boxer had eaten and not expect to
have dreams. Boxer had them. Some
were good dreams and some were bad
dreams, and all were the result OF
having stuffed his stomach SO with
blueberries.
Buster Bear shumed along slowly
toward Boxer. He didn't know Boxer
was there. He had no thought for
but those delicious berries

he moved d., along a Mrs; Bear Kept ta,ra an IT

he had seen Boxer and Woof-Woof

that in that mound just above Boxers
hind feet was the entrance to the
home of a colony of Wasps known as
Yellow Jackets. 1t was little hole,
just big enough for the Yellow
Jackets to pass through comfortably.
It led to a hollow inside the mound,
and in this was a wonderful house of
the paper which certain Wasps know
how to make. In 1t were many little
rooms and in each room was a fat
baby Yellow-Jacket. Those fat babies
, were growing very fast and had to be
fed very often. So all day long there
was a procession Of Yellow-Jackets
entering and leaving that little door
way in the mound
When Boxer lay down there for a
nap he was~noticed right away by
the Yellow But as long as
he didn't bother them they decided to
let him alone. So for while Boxer
slept in peace. But by and by he
began to get uneasy. That was when
he was having a bad dream. He
twisted and squirmed and at last
kicked out with one of his hind feet.
| Dear me, that was a most unfor-
tunate kick. 1t was so. You see, 1t
brought his foot smack against the
mound close to that little entrance
to the home of the Yellow Jackets
just as one was coming out. Now
Yellow-Jackets are very quick tenn
