Berkshire Railway Go. Receivershir

A receivership for the Berkshire Street Railway company is inevitable unless legislative relief is granted immediately, Vice-President Storrs of the company told the Massachu- setts legislative committee on street railways sitting in Pittsfeld. The road operates 75 miles of tracks in Berkshire county. The New York, New Haven and Hartford, which owns stock, has put $6,000,000 in the property, Storrs said. Accord ing to his figures, the company's de- ficit last year was $100,000 and it now owes $94,000 for taxes, $40, ,000 for fuel and other essentials and has only $15,000 on hand.
 The parent company is willing to sell the property at state appraised valuation and have it run by trustees like the Boston Elevated, Storrs told the committee.

MOUNTED POLICE AND
 THE. RURAL DISTRICTS
Would Undoubtedly Prove of
 Great Benefit in Small Towns

Do you want law enforcement in :, the State of Connecticut? Do you want the crimes of our rural districts to continue and increase with the days? Then you must rally to the support of those people who are working for the passage of bill providing eaeMounted State Constabu- Iary to put an end to such crime.
 The municipal police cannot pro- tect the rural districts. The present unmounted tsate police cannot cope with the stae o which crime had been organized and developed and is being carried on within the borders \of this state.
 New York, Pennsylvania, Michigan and other states have finally come to the adopting of our proposed system as the only solution of their problem. And it has proven to be the solution. New Jersey has just passed such a bill. Massachusetts is going to do the same. A hearing on a Constabulary bill took place before their legisla- tive committee on March 7th. Con necticut's problems are the problems of those other states; the problem of rural districts fed by the underworld of great city. ... t..t- .......-
 A wave of crime is sweeping every big city in the country. And 1t sweeps rights into the neighboring country towns and country roads. Murder, theft, robbery, threats of violence, recklessness of all sorts IS rampant. City and countyr are cry ing out under it for relief. And the country is not getting it; except in states which have mounted con- stabulary.
 What can the average citizen do to save the situation? Sit down and write your legislator that you are in favor of the measure before the pres ent legislature to provide the pro- etction you need; Mounted State Constabulary. Write or wire him at once. If you delay one day, it may be too late. s..;
 "If you have any regard for your reputation, exercise great caution these days", says New York City newspaper. 'For if by any chance you were, IOuIlO Dy tAAC Aon0oAAS SAAS unofficial verdict would be CD boot legger; (2) cigar store robber, (3l slain in Connecticut and dumped here."
 That is, what our neighboring state thinks of the safety and protection of life on this side of the boundary line. And that is what the crimes committed within the borders of Con necticut have given them a founda- ton for thinking. It's sad state of affairs and serious one.
 Of course we can retaliate by saying "Slain in Connecticut by thug from New York;, but that doesn't help matters much. If ever any rural district in this country needed protection by Mounted State Constabulary to prevent hein- ous crimes committed by thugs who come from a big city's underworld, it is Connecticut.

CARE IS URGED TO PREVENT FOREST FIRE State Warden Shows Need oF Caution to Prevent
 Waste

States Forest Fire Warden W. 0- t1lley has issued a warning against fires, prompted by the fact that Faxt Day falls on March 25. He says:-
 conditions this spring are very similar to those in March, 191A. when Fast Day came on March pS and sixty-three fires burned over 10000 acres of land in Connecticut with an estimated damage to timber. buildings and other property of about S40,000. ..T
 "The bad record for that day.~ MT. Filley says, "may be laid to the weather conditions and thoughtlcsa use of the holiday. Unless we have change in the weather, the condS- tions of 1910 will be practically du- plicated and there Is no indication that human carelessness will be leam prevalent. .a'
 "The winter has been very open. with little snow. The accumulation of dead leaves and infammable ma- terial in the woods has been thor oughly dried out by the wind ana sun. All that is needed for bix bonfire is 8 careless smoker. Con- tinued warm weather will lead many people to the woods during the nert few days. Everyone who smokes i'm the woods is capable of setting them on fire, even with the best intentions Everyone who lights a fire under present conditions must take every precaution to prevent it from escap- ing and see that it is extinguished before leaving. #..s..
 Forest fires mean waste land ana bare hillsides to motor through, stream pollution; high priced build ing material; high taxes and the moving away of many local indus tries. Protected forests mean cheap CT lumber; lower taxes; plentiful fsah and game; greater scenic beauty and general prosperity in the rural com- munities. aur
 Fire is a good servant, but bad master. Carelessness with fire m criminal, especially at this time Gr the year." -s.s
