Washington. Nov. 1.-The British suggestion that each of the naval powers retain at least one naval building yard capable of turning out one ship a year does not appear to be understood by American naval of fcers familiar with construction pro- b1ems. There was no suggestion in the American limitation proposals as navy yard facilities in this country are concerned, all will be needed, it is said, in the maintenance and repair of the retained fleet.
 At present the United States has several navy yards equipped to build capital ships. It has not been con- templated here that it would be necessary under the reduction pro- gram to scrap the equipment of these shops, and building docks. Some of the machinery would not be needed, of course, for repair work, and would lie idle; but the bulk of the govern ment plants in eadh case would be constantly in use in keeping up the Is battleshipS to be retained by the United States, it was said.
 These ships. the newest in the navy, are in many cases now approaching the point where regular overhaul programs are necessary to keep them in first class shape and with the scrapping of older ships that have been keeping the yards busy up to this time, officials feel that a sound repair program as to first class craft can be adopted for the first time.

Strict party lies will be missing du- ring the term of the new Board of Aldermen, according to the fourteen Republican members who last night decided upon a policy of cooperation with Mayor Atwater. The Republi- Friendly to Mayor Atwater and, al- though their opposition is bound to develop on many of the important matters facing the board. they will not be moved by antagonistic sentiments to oppose measures simply because they are advanced by the Democrats. Nevertheless, they will closely protect the interests of their party and should the occasion arise are fully prepared to present a majority of opposition votes.
 The sentiment of the Republicans gas ably expressed to-day by one of their leaders when he said, We are friendly to Atwater and are willing to So-operate with him on all fair mat ters dealing with the progress ana betterment of hecity. But if the Dem pcrats attempt to put over anything that is not on the Atwater program, then we will fight them to the very end."
 As had been expected, the Repub- nyan aldermen last night unanimous y endorsed Alderman David w. Price Pf the Fifth District as their candidate For the next presid ency of the board.

May Drop Federal
 rustees

Speculation Is rife relative to the divorcing of the Connecticut Com pany from the control of the federal trustees as the result of the public utilities commissions decision order ing a 5-cent fare without transfers tn this city. This speculation has been further heightened by the, comm1s- sion's decision to break up the lines of the company into separate account ing units as opposed to the policy of she trustees to maintain the system as a single unit.
 The trustees manage the Connecti- cut Company by virtue of an order of the federal court for the southern district of New York, which ordered them to take the street railway lines Of the New Haven" road and sell them. The trustees have found it in advisable to sell because of general conditions In its special report to She 1921 General Assembly the com mission recommended that the state turning the Connecticut Company lines to the @New Haven" road. (The belief was expressed thas the system could be broken up into separate di- visions and thus sold.
 As the result of the commissi on's policy to treat the lines of the Con- necttcut Company in divisions and not as a unit 1t developed yesterday system of districts which reduces the present dozen or so divisions to seven or eight districts.
 New Districts. According to Chairman Higgins, 1t is planned that the communities sur rounding the population centers shall be included in the respective disbhcts. It is the plan of the commission to have separate accounts kept. in order that the commission may be informed about fhe street railway receipts. This plan of the commission is not favored by the company as was de- clared by company's counsel at the hearing fere and by Judge Moves speaking for the federal trustees Judge Moves set forth the contention shat the plan of the commission would ruin the unity of the Connecttcut Company's system.
 The commission, according to Chairman Higgins, believes that 'the maximum 10 cont rides for short rides In populous certers Is not at preseni tho economic fare for such daily rid CTS, and Is not producing as much revenue as a lower fare with increased patronage would produce"
 That the income should be used for | the benffit of the districts and not for outside territory where the receipts are low is the belief of the cornmis- sion

Who following Leader across the sky,
Had suddenly paused in full
To wish the brilliant Goodbye
As he stood beneath opal arch
Watching the varied colours march
And counter-ma rch before his gaze.
Fer stately and mute,
He took the salute
And faded away in q haze.
Leaving the Fairies hours
To the Peaks with garlands Of flowers.
Which blown apart by . sportive breeze.
Came tumbling to earth color the trees
Whilst the tired looked freshened and
As shower fell DER 1t OF Jewels made of duw.
