RACE DIFFERENCES

The human race must not forget
That different races have been set
Upon this planet, to live and thrive,
So therefore Natures laws and call,
And not revenge, must govern all,
Not war and strife.
For race hatred and prejudice
Will reap in time
And drag 40 precipice

SLICES s450.eoe FROM
 ESTIMATES FOR HIGHWAYS

Withdrawal of the first St bills direct ing the fstate highway commissioner. to improve certain local roads from inclu- sion in the trunk line system of Connec- ticut, cut s450,000 from highway depart ment estimates of the maximum cost of such projects to a new total of S15,350,- 900 Wednesday. g-"t
 The Dill, which was drawn by Senator Brc wn of Norwich, owing to the eco- homie situation in the state," would have required the highway department to re- place eight miles of road in the town of Bozran, between Colchester and Fitch file. In taking this action the senator told the committee on roads, bridges and rivers that the people behind the bill had decided to leave to the discretion of the highway commissioner the wisdom of adding this section to tia trunk line system. The cheapest d4.rt of a road between these two points would have en- tailed minimum cost to ,:|1e state of $20h,C6G
 This leaves 30 bills for additions to the trunk lines before the committee on roads, bridges and rivers, and estimates i of the highway department Ia:t before the committee Tuesday show a maxi mum of $15,350,o0e, or a minimum of $6,- | 800, 900, depending on the character Of construction, would be re4eire ed to carry cut the provisions of these bills. It would boost to $29,SE0,000 the amount by which the appropriations ask l ed of this session of the legislature would exceed the estimated receipts based or existing sources of revenues. 1 Among the list of projected roads are i the following:
