New Britain, hut he was confident that
1t would mccecd after Il trial. and
that New Britain would get the bone
fit eventually
The commission adopted the sug-
gestion and ordered the trial Possibly
1t was the commissions thought and
not the Mayors alone, Perhaps many
would have been glad had the trial
been made here instead of In Bridge
port,
It is doubtful, however, if such trial
here would have been best for this
city. If it is Il success in bridgeport,
for instance, it will come to New
Britain eventually in all fairness,
If it does not prove II success in
that city it is likely that there may
be return to the 10 cent fare, as
the company wants, or to seven or
eight cents. The test is being made;
its result will govern action here,
If the trial had been made in this
city for 80 days it is certain it would
| have hurt the few jitneys and disor-
ganized transportation matters here
more than they are at present.
Certainly it would have saved a
little money for some who are forced
10 use the trolley, but where would
residents, especially workers of this
city have been left had the trial
proven q failure? The Company would
be moro arrogant; the few iitneys that
are made use of would have been hurt
to such an extent that some might
have been forced to quit.
Meanwhile the committee has had
a meeting at which there were not
enough present to take any action.
Possibly interest is latent, pending the
result of the trial now being made in
Bridgeport And meanwhile the com
mission has said it would make no
more such trials until the result of
the present one is seen.
Possibly Illt committee Will tdht
the view that such trial here would
prove the ACCESSIBILITY of the five cent
fare on short runs and will seek it
from the commission, disregarding
the jitneys entirely, or its effect upon
them.
There is another point of view to
consider. Many maintain that the
necessity for the iitney will continue
even after, or should, the five cent
fare be adopted here. Such people live
in parts Of the city, well built up and
pleasant, which the trolley will never
serve in all probability. Their children
have to walk a long way to take a
car to school, and, as was shown by
one dweller in the Jerome street dis
trict one family sometimes has to
spend about a dollar and half for
Carfare in one day.
The committee at it's meeting will
look, or should look at this matter
from all sides of the question.

south for training next spring, it was
announced today. Only two games,

played during the training season, the
rest of the time to be devoted to prac-

In many places not even so large
as Paris, the Legion is accomplish

Henry wants TO build hard surface
roads and thus reduce the yearly
cost for maintenance, 1t should issue
bonds That's the only way the
money ever could be secured. II
the county wants to build more and
larger school houses, it should be
done in the same way. Anything
that is not a maintenance or ope
rating charge should be handled
under a bond issue. and any such
bond issue should be on the amorti
zation plan.
The remedy for the whole illness
is simple 1t Just needs somebody
to pursue it, instead of the present
procrastination. and instead of the
present method OF winking in the
dark The trouble with the county
court is it never knows just what
1t is doing; appropriations are made
when very few, If any, of the mem
bers stop to figure where and how
the money is coming. They only
make these appropriations on merit,
1t is true, but there is something
besides merit to the handling OF
county money. The county needs a
budget system; and, men who will
take the time to do 1t should get
up such budget, and they should be
paid for the time.

PIG-IRoN INCONSISTENCY.

In this City of Paris there is
determination today of its progress
sive people to go forward-to make
the city a better place in which to
live, and to place it on basis that
will make financial research moro
attractive, to say nothing of an in
sistency of being pulled out of the
existing horrible rut and non-progres-
sive atmosphere.
To do this, it will take money.
No firm nor individual can improve
its business surroundings and place
il in position to attract new and
more business without spending
money for improvements in appear
anees, as well as spending it for
up-keep to preserve what there al
ready is.
Paris is now promulgatfng a bond
issue for the purpose of obtaining
money for just such purposes, and
to remedy existing physical evils,
The bond issue will be voted by an
overwhelming majority.
No one can afford to be, at this
crucial stage, so self-centered and
selfish as to desire to see the city
go down in the muck and mire
simply to crafty vengeance, by
throwing Instructions in the way
of this bond issue. 1t is hard to be-

RAINEY AND TAXES.

Mr.. ]. c. Rainey writes in this
issue of The Partisan concerning the
financial status Sof Henry County.
and the tax rate consequent there.
upon.
1t is not a difficult matter to
solve the financial situation in Henry
County, nor to Relieve the predica-
ment 1t is, however an embarrass
ing condition that is prevailing just
at this time, as well as an expensive
proposition.
The county tax rate should be
made whatever is necessary to OBJ
tain an aggregate of money for
current maintenance and operation.
complete analysis should be made
to determine this which can be
done by using the charges for say
the past three years, and then also
take into consideration the present
reduced costs for labor, material,
supplies, etc.
AS to the present predicament:
This can be relieved by running the
county a year behind on the earn
ings side of the ledger, and borrow
ing this money from year to year.
This is about the situation most
other counties and the larger cities,
and the City of Paris, are in at the
present time The county, however,
is precluded from doing this, if we
understand it correctly, and a lee
lative act is necessary. Somebody
should have been looking into this
before now; in fact, before the last
Legislature adjourned. 1t is possible
there will be special session of the
Legislature before long. The county
court should have an act prepared,
(if that is what is necessary, giving
the county the right to borrow
money on short time notes or bonds
to the limit of years expenses.
Thus, the county could obtain cash
for current expenses, and the amount
saved in paying cash under what it
is costing now, because everybody
is charging the county higher
rate), would pay the interest Too,
this would enable the amount of
borrowed money to be controlled
every year.
Issuing of bonds for current ope-
rating and maintenance expense is
out of order, and not good business,
nor good practice, as Mr.. Rainey
will agree. Bonds should only be
issued for public improvemenb addi-
lions, betterments, and permanent

THE AMERICAN LEGION
MEMBERSHIP.

A drive is on in the county, for
an increased American Legion men,
bership in the Henry County Post
No 8. Snappy worded placards have
been placed in shop windows, and
other prominent places over the
county inviting all ex-service men to
Join. 1t is hoped, by the present
officers of this post to obtain as
Legion members practically all of
this countys world war fighters.
1t is not that Henry County boys
do not take their world war service
seriously, or that they are indiffer-
ent to the cause for which the
American Legion stands, that they
have perhaps not FASTENED in body
to become affiliated with this or
ganization, but rather that some of

lieve that there are some few men
opposed to the bond issue for the
reason they are just against it,
just to be against the new city ad-
ministration. which is trying to do
things for the whole people of Paris:
just because they were not con
suited" on the project; or, just be-
cause some of them were cast out of
control of the city affairs, and don't
want to sec anyone ''in" make a
success of IL. There is no personal
equation involved in the bond issue.
1t is more than likely the bond
issue of $150,O00 will not increase
the individual tax payment a cent.
The city council is working on a bud
get that is taking just such shape.
The inconsistency of the littl,
stated opposition is the fact that
some of them are advocating an in
creased tax rate instead of a bond
issue. They admit that the city
must have more money. They pos
sibly would like an excuse for in
creasing rents. Yet, they are the
very ones who have had to do with
floating some four previous bond is
psues for the City of Paris. Why
wasn't an increase made in the tax
rate at that time, instead of floating
bonds? 1t simply wasn't good bust
ness then, and fer the same reason
isn't good business now.
Those same men received the sup
port of the majority upon offering
these four bond issues, and as long
as they had TODD with them it was
all right. Now, they don't have-to-
do with them, and 1t is all-wrong.
That's the milk in the cocoanut!
The bond issue will carry-over-
whelmingly as stated. There are less
than a dozen against it in the bust
ness realm today, and that dozen
will dwindle in the days to come,
and eventually they will be made
Christians" even If it be after the
construction and reconstruction work
will have been accomplished under
the bond issue.
No one, however, need waste time
now trying to convince those few
who don't want to be convinced.
