Nenn Iamaica Stamns

To commemorate the completion of
 its sixtieth year of postal independ-
 ence and separate stamp issues, a
 new set of adhesive stamps is being
 issued for the Island of Jamaica.
 The designs have been made by a
 Jamaican artist. and each denomina-
 tion will bear a picture illustrative
 of that West Indian islands progress.
 Only two or three values have thus
 far appeared. The complete set will
 embody a dozen or more values from
 the half penny to five shillings The
 half penny and one shilling stamps
 have lately been put in circulation.
 The former contains a picture of the buildings erected at Kingston, the capi- tai of Jamaica, for the great exhibition in 1891. The shilling stamp has view
 of the statue erected on the island to Queen Victoria. The new 10-shilling
 stamp issued last year with a portrait of King George will be retained in use. Jamaica's first postage stamp issue appeared in the fall of 1860. There
 were six or seven varieties in the set. the design Of all being siliar, a | profile of Queen Victoria looking to the left. On the Queens head is a wreath of laurel and in this respect l the first Jamaican issue is entirely different from those of all other Brit ish colonies, the portrait of the Queen
 on the latter being adorned with the | diadem so familiar to philatelists of early British colonial issues. The first i issues were printed on paper water marked with pineapple, each stamp showing on the back the distinct out line of a pineapple, and these yarie-
 ties are much scarcer than all later
 issues. From 1870 to 1883 the same
 stamp designs were printed on paper I watermarked with the letters co and i after that date with the initials CA.

FAVOR MUNICIPAL PLANTS
 UNDER PUBLIC UTILITIE

By vote of approximately two to one, members of the Connecticut Chamber of Commerce have voted favorably on the question of placing nuniclpaliy owned public utilities under the irri 'liction of the public utilities commission, on the same plane as privately owned utillties,- the matter having been recently submit ted on referendum of the membership of the organization under three questions. The referendum result also favored an- nual reports to. the puhiIc utilities com mission in the event that municipnily owned public utilities are noe subject to commission regulation, the vote 5eiAg overwhelming in favor, practically four 10 one.
 A disagreement resulted on the third question as to whether municipally owned public utilities should pay local, county, state or federal taxes on the same basis as those privately owned. Some mem bers maintain that the proposition is ab- surd on the ground that town or city should not be taxed against itself. while others assert that as matter of fair ness city or town owned utilities should be placed on the same basis as privately owned, being engaged in competitive bus mess. Many members stated that muni- cibally owned utilities should pay county, state and federal taxes, but not local taxes.
 The decisions on the questions at issue as obtained through the deferendum of the state chamber of commerce are of particular interest at this time as a bill which provides for such action is now before the legislative committee on judic- tary and will probably be reported in the house within a short time. The results of tho referendum have been submitted to this committee.

COLUMBIA

There is located in Columbia a com munity of farmers in the section known as West street Sixteen years ago the wives of some of these farmers met and formed club which they called the West Street Social Eight. Of the original num- Der, only four are members at present. Mrs. Carrie Utley, Mrs. Candles Buell., Mrs. J. A. 1sham, president. and Mrs. Emily Cobb. treasurer. Others wh1 join ed later are Mrs. Junie Belle Squier. Mrs. Louise Marshall. Mrs. Eva LaBonte Mrs. Mary Cobb and Mrs. Nellie Cobb As the West street cemetery was in need of good and attractive gates, the club de cided to make and sell fancy articles and devote the proceeds to that purpose. In due time handsome iron gates were ob- tained and placed at the front entrance to the cemetery. Their next undertaking was to work for the improvement or a very steep and dangerous hill known as Utley hill By making quilts, fancy ar ticles, etc, holding fairs in the town hall, giving entertainments in which home peo- pie generously contributed their time and work they secured several hundred dol lars. For many years the town. also the state, has been asked to add to the fund which they have in hand and so be able to put the hill in safe condition, but the request has always been refused. During the war the West Street Social Eight was very patriotic, assisting the Red Cross continually. and investing $500 in Liberty bonds. When a piano was placed in the town hall the club contributed literally toward the expense. Several years ago Utley hill was surveyed and was found to be 1850 feet in length, beginning at the West street cemetery and ending at q bridge over a brook. On some portions of the hill the grade was found to be 20 feet in each 100 feet.
 short time ago it was thought hat the time had arrived to begin this most needed work, so March Fist this public spirited club began operations. several men and teams being engaged. the result being that several tons of rock have al- | ready been moved from the top 10 the bottom of the hill, so that when the inn provement is completed an easy grade and safe hill will be the result. and ! the cherished wishes of many will have been accomplished. The view. from the 1 top of this hill, overlooking Columbia lake and the surrounding country, is as 1 fine as any in the state.

VOTE TO RETAIN TOLLS
 ON STATES HIGHWAY BRIDGES

Easing their arguments largely or the fact that the states finances require all existing form of revenue, members of the Connecticut Chamoe" of Commerce on a referendum have votel strongly in favor of continuing at least temporarily toll charges on highway bridges Low up- erated as toll bridges. There are three such bridges m the state, nalnely the Con- necticut river bridges at East Haddam and Lyme and the Thames river briine at New London and the revenue to the state from these sources is an important factor. It was voted at the same time that, in continuing the toll system, le- duced rates through commuta tion tickets or some other practical device should be granted to residents of towns adjoining these bridges.
 The decision of the members of the state chamber on this issue with regard to continuing the toll bridges temporarily until there is an improvement in the state finances was reported to the legis- lative committee on roads, rivers and i bridges last week when the committee was considering a toll bridge measure. i The committee have since reported fla voraby on a bill by which the bridges ! will remain toll bridges until September 1, 1922. allowing practically a year and a half before making the change.
