NO LOWER FARES
 AT PRESENT, TIME
Public Utilities Commission Sub
 mits Report to Governor Lake

Because the members Of the public utilities commission believe that "it is very doubtful if the installation of the flat five-cent or six-cent fare without transfer privileges would give satisfaction" fares on the local and state lines, with the exception of Nor walk and Bridgeport, of the Con- necticut company will not be reduced at the present time.
 The above was contained in the annual report of the commission which was presented to Governor Lake yesterday. The report further states that the commissioners have discussed a lower ratesfor Connecticut company passengers but at no time have they been able to agree on a reduction in as much as they believe that, the Connecticut company is in need of increased revenue which the 10-cent fare has brought down.
 The. statement as made by the commissioners meant that the efforts which have been made by Mayor A. M. Paonessa of New Britain, Mayor Kinsella q Hartford and other city leaders for A lower fare has been to no avail. 1t had been the hopes of Mayor Paonessa that the Connecticut company. if it. would not reduce its rate, would at least use New Britain as an experimental city the same as Bridgeport and Norwall1 and try out a five-cent fare without transfer privileges here.

and the disposition of seized property. A further saving of slb6,900 annually has been effected by the readjusting of salaries.
 Denies Failure.
 Referring 10 the cry that prohibi- ton is a ''failure," Commissioner Haynes says that in his judgment. ane of the most remarkable successes over attained in the enforcement of a new and drastic law has been recorded in the present status of enforcement of the national prohibition act.
 complete reorganization has been effected in the last fifteen months. Fifty-one directors offices have been established in each state, and Hawaii, Porto Rico and Alaska. These com nlete changes in the reorganization of the work have resulted in the elimi- nation of duplication of work and a greater efficiency. Experienced men of undoubtcd integrity have been called into service. The Washington office of over GOO employees, and all the field forces have become cnthused with the greatness of the task. Thirty-two hundred and one tempo rary appointments have been made during this fifteen-month period,
 A new feature of the organization is the general agents force operating Independent of the directors forces. To date this force has reported 3,2s1 cases, and recommended taxes in the amount of s24,16S,S2462.
 The narcotic forces, which also operate under the prohibition unit, have also been reorganized. There has resulted such an increase of efi- cincy that with no larger approprla- ton or appreciabe increase in field force, there has been an increase of some sixty-five. per cent in the num- Der of violations reported in the pe- riod of one year, and an increase of one hundred per cent. in the convic- tions secured

WAR SAVING STAMPS
 MATURE ON JAN. 1
May Be Redeemed or Exchanged for New Securities

During the year 1918 thousands of | ing stamps. They were sold at the post office. the banks and through tho schools. as well as in booths in va rious parts of the city. Thrift stamps were sold. in small denominations, which could be exchanged for the five dollar war savings stamps, and a great many thousands of dollars were thus invested by men, women and children of Meriden.
 These war savings stamps of the 1918 issue mature and are payable on January 1. 1923, or about three weeks from now. Each five dollar stamp will be redeemed for its face value, which means that whereas it cost little over four dollars at the time of purchase. the interest each has earned makes it now worth five dollars.
 How to Redeem Stamps. f1
 At the time of the sale of these stamps there was a provision that they could be registered, and those which were so registered can be cashed only thorugh the post office where they were registered. The un-. registered stamps will be redeemed at any money order post office, the treas ury department at Washington or at any bank.
 Holders of such stamps have the option of redeeming them at any time now before January 15 next by exchanging them for the new treasury certificates, series of 1923. with ad- justment of interest.
 The war savings certificates, with stamps, should be presented to either the post office or bank, together with written application for redemption in cash or by exchange for the new treasury certificates, and the post of flee or bank will arrange for the pay ment or exchange. The application should be made without delay, and the stamps handed in with the ap- plication to the post office.
 When to Present Them.
 These stamps are to be cashed for the post office by the Federal Reserve bank in Boston, and by making the application now, the checks will be mailed to the owners about January l, the date of redemption. By mak- ing application to the post office now, the payments will be facilitated. If presented to the bank for cash pay ment, it will not be necessary to pre- sent them in advance.
 A person who presents $25 in war savings stamps, if he so elects, may receive s4.50 in cash and a new treas ury savings certificate for $25 payable on January l, 1928. Stamps aggre- gating s100 may be adjusted in the same proportion.
 X A person may present $25 in war savings stamps and $16 in cash, and | receive therefore new treasury cer- tificate for $50. due January l, 1928. Persons who have no war savings | stamps may buy the treasury certifi- cates in s25, $50, s10o, $500 or $1,000 denominations at the rate of s2O.5O for each $25 of face value.

COMING YEAR WILL
 SEE COOPERATION Program Will Be Carried Out, Says Prohibition Com. Haynes

Hartford, Dec. GA program of
 more concerted cooperation between federal officials and local enforce
 ment agencies is planned for the com ing year, Federal Prohibition Com
 missioner R. A. Haynes advises Di- rector Mackenzie of this state. Section Il of the enforcement act divides the responsibility between the
 government and the states. Prac- tically all of the states have enacted legislation to this end and the various state agencies report increasing evil dence of cooperation.
 Commissioner Haynes says that every state, county and city has the initial responsibility of cleaning up it's own conditions through locally select ed officials, before the federal ma- ehinery should be expected to take charge. Hence, the necessity of close cooperation between the states and federal agencies.
 Pleased With Connecticut.
 Director Mackenzie is greatly pleased with the progress that has been made in enforcement in this state and is most optimistic in regards to the future, in view of the spirit of cooperation, in evidence practically everywhere. More and more is the public becoming convinced that the success of enforcement lies as much with the people themselves as with the officers who are designated to en- force the law. In spite of obstacles and many complications, prohibition is showing itself as means of pro- nounced public betterment, of i'm proved living con d i ons, and healthier happier human beings. There is evidence everywhere of marked progress in the way of en- forcement.
 This is not the time to be impatient, | nor discouraged, for the friends of i, the law arc truly in action, as shown by reports which Commissioner Haynes has received from the various states, iustifying the optimism which he entertains.
 Reducing the source of supply, | through concentration, in Commis- sioner Haynes opinion, will aid ma in enforcement and also make for economy, for as hessays, economy has been the watchword of the ad- Concentration of bond ed whiskey in a smaller number of bonded warehouses will result in the saving of at least s300,000 per an- num- A saving of s250.000 has been in rental of office and storage space
