MAKES RANDOM OBSERVATIONS THE CITY AND ITS PEOPLE.

Mayor Curtis local option idea for trolley and jitney corporation as ex- pressed before the Public Utilities, commission in Hartford recently is evendently lost in the meshes of state laws and city ordinances The idea is q good one and should be held on to by the Mayor. although he let a council meeting pass without men, tioning Q remedy for the Public Util- ities telling . city what it Is and what it isn't to do. The jitney question hits 75 per cent of our people, and it was the belief that not few of our citi- gems were vitally interested whether they like Jitneys or not. The Mayor evidently believes that the question Is of no consequence. however he though enough of the Hartford-New Britain 3itney line hearing to be there, and he will hear more about the Arch and West Main stret lines ere long. If the importance of the question is the retarding influence. the Observer can throw little light on the matter by saying that there are a few of his constituents. at least, who go in jit- neys. Let's have a commission or com mittee from the council, and maybe trouble will beD saved. The traffic supervisor should at least be consult cd on parking space for jitneys when the public hearing takes place.

 Commissioner Harry c. Jackson of the Public Play Grounds commission threw a bombshell in our midst when he stated that there would not De nre works at Walnut Hill park this year. Of course the commissioner knows best. but 10000 people have been known to ramble up Walnut Hill way on a Fourth of July night to see the pretty set pieces and to hear the bombs do their best. Commissioner Jackson is commander of the local post Of tho American Legion and he mas seen the amount of want that

 Today there arc many, many in the country who do not feel the temporary depression which affects so many others. There are many in this city whose life goes on about as it did when tho best of times prevailed.
 It is not the thought of those fortunate ones which inspires the feel ing back of this decision. It is the thought of the impropriety of spectacu- lar display. of tactlessly antagonizing the feelings of those who do feel the results of the depression. that has brought this decision, seemingly a small matter. but in reality standing for i'm portant things.
 The masses of the people of this com munity are the ones who most appreci- ate and enjoy such displays. The masses of the people would be the ones to resent any indication that their situ- ation was not recognized. A decision to spend some of the city money to ceIe- brate a day which is honestly ceIe- brated in the heart of every person loyal to this land, fireworks or no fire works, would evince a failure to sym pathizer with the embarrassing financial situation in which many of the people are placed.
 But. despite the temporary gloomy outlook which confidence in our city and our country compeis all to believe is but temporary. the Fourth of July will be celebrated rightly with thankfulnees that there comes that day to recall it's significance.
 No wise decision by a public commis- sion to show due recognition of the wisdom of economy at this time. may take from the splendid thought and inspiration of Independence Day.

It is- not the policy of the Observer to congratulate a person openly, so he will give the mayor an additional, pat on the back for having Jackson in his official family at the next meeting of the ways and means committee.

How many New Britain people are planning a visit to the old homo this summer7
 How many men arc going back to have a look at the house in which they were born; the old swimming hole they splashed about in when they were boys?

 Where the tough guys bury their dead. I hadn't gone far the journey
 When a voice said "Ill bump him off yet-' And all through that night, To the left and the right,
 shot ev'ry shadow met. When the towns all asleep but the sergeant, And the crooks are abroad in the land, Then 1t isn't much fun To be rackin' a gun
 In the dark. when you can't see your hand. So gave back tho badge and the billy
 And the gun that loaded with lead, And bade 'em goodbye With a smile. and a sgh,.
