SAYS NEW BRITAIN TO GREAT
BRITAIN.

Lloyd George, of Great Britain, is
destined to receive from the city faith
ers of New Britain, unless plans go
astray, a cablegram to the effect that
this city has the desire that England
and Ireland come to terms, that
every effort be made to conclude an
effective and lasting peace. Surely
laudable ambition for the city Of New
Britain, one which Lloyd George ard
De Valera both have.
In all probability our cable will
have little effect upon the ultimate
outcome, there are larger considera-
lions than the city Of New Britain and
It's wishes in the conference now go
ing on. Notwithstanding it puts us
upon record and voices, in a small
way, the feelings Of other communi-
ties about the country. We wonder,
was not also communicated with to
the same intent. We did not co.,
slider the politics OF the matter and
refuse to communicate with De Valera
because we did not as a community,
wish to recognize him as the leader
xf the Irish republic. Lloyd George
has already recognized him, this was
done when the conferences were first
tailed. De Valera has just as
much opportunity to make peace rs
has Lloyd George, it is a question of
who is willing to make the necessary
concessions. One would imagine,
from our cable, that Lloyd George
had the whole say in the matter and
was treating with an enemy who had
been driven into a corner. Our irish
friends assure us that the opposite is
the case.
It were better had the cable been
addressed to the two conferees at the
Downing street address where meet
ings are going on. Not that it would
have reached them, they may never
know that New Britain is interested
reyond realizing in a broad genera
fashion that the United States sin
cerely hopes that an equitable ar
rangement may be attained.

lions before being given the certi-
ficate.
In New York state, upon the Cro-
ton and Ashokan water works,
whence comes drinking water for the
City of Nez York, the fisherman is
encouraged He is even allowed to
rent boats and fish upon the waters
of the Ashokan and every stream
which flows into this body of water
. full of trout, placed there by a
generous state. Facilities for camp
ing out are offered along the streams
free of charge. There are numerous
inspectors upon the water sheds at
all times to see that regulations are
enforced otherwise the public is
made most welcome and every oppor-
tunity is given for enjoyment. We
may do the same thing in small
way. We have the reservoir, which
| is full of fish. We have many people
who desire to fish it. We should not
| take chances with our water supply
| but, if the licenses are issued to re-
sponsible persons there is no reason

COAL.

About this time OF the year, when
the weather is hottest and when the
accumulation OF bills is quite liable
to be greatest, it becomes the duty of
newspapers to give summary of the
coal situation, an unpleasant one
usually because it is necessary to ad-
wise to buy.
Recently Secretary Herbert Hoov-
err, of the Department of Commerce,
stated that coal would not be any
cheaper later on than it is now, and
that it is the advisable thing to lay
able shortage develops and an "auc-
ton market be created. Before that
other public speakers warned OF the
possibilities of the coal situation and
advised to buy. There are several

need of furnishing the coal producers

FISHING AT SHUTTLE MEADOW

The Common Council, at it's meet
that fishing be allowed in Shuttle
Meadow lake, the source of New Brit
aims water supply. 1t was referred
to the board of water commissioners.
The destination of the petition is of
little consequence but the Health
Board might prove, finally to have
some power in the allowing of the
asl1ing, providing that it is allowed.
Being, in common with many 9TH
srs, fisherman, of questionable merit
but a fisherman nevertheless, the
writer would find some means of
giving the people of the city an op-
portunity to fish in the reservoir. The
gentle art is popular indeed, the sport
Yields a desirable influence over it's
followers and every facility should be
given the disciple of Walton to ex-
bycise his longings. Shuttle Meadow
sontains many bass and pickerel be-
sides the more common fish such as
mans fingers itch when he meditates
upon the possibility of catching some
piscatorial treasures from it. 1t has
Deen virtually closed to fishing for
several years and there should be
some "old grandfathers" in there. 1t
Is small wonder that a great number
of local people desire to fish in Shut
lie Meadow.
There always exists the possibili-
lies of contamination to the water
supply by careless or needless persons.
That Is the reason for the closing
e the reservoir privilege and, in a
way, the people have brought it upon
themselves. Nevertheless, with small
precautions the opportunity to fish
should be given without the danger
Of infected water.
It seems that those in charge might
evolve a license or permit scheme for
reservoir fishing. They might grant
10 local people the privilege of fish
ing there at certain times, giving
Them card to certify that they have
he rigit. The card should be sub
iect to forfeiture upon the slightest
violation of rules printed upon the
pack and an inspector, there is now

ROADS.
Some roads are invitations
Calling men to fields affair
And other roads, repelling,
Keep most people where they are
There are high roads and low roads,
And open roads and closed
And roads that hide by hillsides
Where the dead have long reposed,
And roads that come to cities,
And roads that swing away
TO the merry greens of villages
Where the little children play.
There are dry roads and wet roads
That make you walk or run,
And roads that stretch like ribbons
Ger the mountains, in the sun.
There are roads that wind through
valleys,
Through forests deep and cool,
Where the ripping, racing waters
Tumble to the sylvan pool.
There are free roads and toll roads
You meet most everywhere,
And roads that HE to Happiness,
And roads that drive to Care.
There are roads that go a-rambling
And, while all roads lead to Rome
The best road in the universe
Is the road that runs back home.

PRIVILEGES AND DUTIES OF THE

regards to the franchise issued to
the company is about to be under
taken by the public of New Britain
through its Common Council. The
Arch street line has been discon-
tinued, it remains to be seen what
the city can do toward making the
company withdraw it's property, the
tracks and wires, and officially write
''finis" to the existence of any street
car line on Arch street.
The original provisions of the
franchise may be hard to finally
settle, it was granted SO long ago.
Possibly there is no phrase providing
for the continuous, or regular, operu-
ton of street cars before the franch-
Use is declared to be forfeit. There
may be little opportunity to make
the company remove the tracks I'M
der the agreement But it is quite
possible that the city of New Britain
can prove that the Arch street line
is of no use TO. the company, will
never be of any use, and that the
Certainly after a franchise is granted
and the company shows no DISPOSE
ton to live up to the obligations
implied in the granting, even though
they were not stipulated, there
should be evidence enough that the
franchise was no longer tenable md
there should also be means found for
causing removal Of the equipment
from the public highway. Frahch-
Use or no Franchise the company has
ceased to operate That is sufficient,
unless the original papers were SO
worded that they bound the city Of
New Britain so tightly that there is
no escape.
The temper of the Council, and of
the public, in the present jitney-
trolley controversy was conclusively
| demonstrated in the investigation
L u.
the time the trolley was removed
there is going to be no mourning
over the discontinuance of the line.
Rather are we saying, we're salts
fed, move out and make it certain
that we shall never again have troll
l1eys on Arch street" We still be-
lieve that the trolley was discon-
tinued on Arch street for the sake
Of furnishing an object lesson to the
public. 1t probably was not making
money, there is no reason why it
should at the high rates, but the
company tells us that other lines are
mot making money either, and they
remain. But the object lesson was
not seriously received by the people
the merchants, or the Council, rather
it proved the boomerang that we
foretold.
