OUR FLYING MAIL

The fact that last year the mail
service planes flew approximately l.
100000 miles without serious acci.
dent. and made naerly 9S per cent of
their scheduled trips. establishes this
branch Of the postoffice service on a
higher level than the experimental.
Not that much experimentation will
not be necessary in order to perfect
it, but the value and practicability OF
the use of planes for carrying mails
is no longer open TO question. We
have launched fairly upon the devel
opmental stage. and the business be
fore us is the extension Of this serv
ice, its adaption to wider and more
popular use. and its improvement in
reliability and efficiency.

Technically, selnshly If you will, the
 corporation counsel Is In a position to
 know far better than any layman
 whether or not the court will decide
 in favor of the claimant He knows
 when city is legally liable; he
 knows when city has been negligent and when there is no contributing
 negligence on the part of the claim ant He knows, better than any lay man can know whether or not 1t is likely to save the city money to settle claim, rather than to carry 1t to the court. His advice should be taken just as the advice of the city engineer should be taken in engineer ing matters. If the city electrician, for instance, advised the Insulation of certain wires and an appropriation therefor and the council should take 1t upon itself to refuse to grant that appropriation, the council would be making a mistake only greater in degree than it would to disregard the advice of the legal adviser, The common council certainly would not disregard the advice Of the city engineer in regard to the laying of sewer. It would consider the engineer better informed as to engineering technicalities than the council. So in the case of legal mat ters
 From the other viewpoint the city owes its residents some duty in regard to the streets. Will the city adopt a policy of saying that no matter how careless it is in regard to those streets, and no matter how people are injured because of its carelessness, granting that the city has been care less, it. the city, will not make req sonable compensation to the Injured resident? Will the city force every claimant, no matter how just his claim, to go into court and prove his claim merely because the accident happened because of defective street?
 From every point of view, prac tically and theoretically, the city will make a mistake in adopting the policy indicated by the expected veto of the Mayor.

MOWERS SPECIALITY.

Before Warren Harding was select ed as the Republican candidate for the Presidency, Herbert HooVers 5 name was prominently mentioned as A possible candidate. His opponents remarked that about his only recom- mendation was his executive aollity in the matter of rationing and appor- tioning food. He had shown great ability in that matter, it was admitted by all. But why should that ability recommend him for any office within the United States?
 Today comes the news that the governments program for "distrlout- ing and rationing" the coal on hand under the direction of Secretary Hoover and the Interstate Commerce Commission, Is to be put into effect. There is a general feeling that the work will be skilfully done-and be- cause Herbert Hoover is to be the
 
 Coal will be sent over the shortest routes to the places where It IS especially needed. Public utilities will get coal; industries producing the necessaries of life will get it. and localities where there is danger of 9 coal famine will get it. The Inter- state Commerce Commission has power to see that these things are done, and 1t Is not necessary for the government to take over the roads to bring about these results.
 And there is another power the Interstate Commerce Commission pos posses which Will directly interest the consumer. It is a power that the recent actions of Secretary Hoover have shown he will see utilized. The Commission, inspired by Secretary Hoover, will be able to see to 1t that operators who charge profteering prices for coal will get no cars. All the available cars will be needed and will be used by operators who feel that they should adhere to the agree ment suggested and discussed by Hoover and the operators. |
 At this time MT. Herbert Hoover's 1 speciality is a very useful character | istic, and Mir. Hoover is the sort ot J person to make use of 1t for the benefit of the people.

GERMANY's ACCEPTANCE.

Germany has accepted the demands of the allied committee on guaran- tees. She has, in effect, agreed to the allied memorandum with regard many's receipts, expenditures, export of capital and statistics, She insists, the government or it's normal func- tioning should not be interfered with, and that the fortunes of individuals and their business orga nization must remain secret.
 Germany has done what any busi- ness man, confident of his power to recoup if only he obtains sufficient capital to carry him along would do. She has agreed to have her affairs watched, necessarily trusting to the honor of the allies-whom she may we'll trust-because she sees at last that in this way only will she be able to get the fundS needed to bring return of that economic stability and prosperity habitual to her
 It may readily be imagined how severe has been the opposition to those who have been fighting in Ger many that she take this stand Hav- ing to combat the feeling prevalent there that she was not really con quered in the war, the far sighted German financiers have had a diff cult time to convince those who had the power to take this position that it must be taken despite the unpopu- larity it would bring. Germany takes it for granted the loan she seeks will be granted now that she has accepted the conditions imposed The loan will come and Germany has her far sighted leaders in finance and eco- monies to thank for insisting upon taking the only course which would bring the relief she must have. A blow to Germany's pride it is, but a boost to appfeciation of her wisdom.

CLAIMS AGAINST CITY.

It is reported that Mayor Paonessa will veto the resolution of the com- mon council which upholds the fnd- ing of the Corporation Counsel in regard to the settlement of certain definite claims against the city for damages alleged to have arisen out of alleged defects in the streets. In other words, if the Mayors veto is sustained, the city will say to those claimants: Co ahead and sue. The city will not settle out of court"
 This attitude is a mistake. Any city errs when it disregards the legal advice of the official named for the position of legal adviser. Damages might be recovered in one lawsuit which would be far more than the sum of the amounts recommended in several others. The fear of establish ing a precedent, said to move the Mayor to this action, is groundless unless the broad general policy is to be established that the city will settle no claims, or will pay no claims until compelled to do so by the court. where they grow out of defective streets. And the adoption of this policy would be not only ridiculous in the extreme, but would be unfair and unwise.
 There are two ways of looking at this matter; there is the technical side, the legal side, and there is the viewpoint of one trying to do what, in common sense, is right quite aside from the legal aspect. From either standpoint the claims should be set tied where the city's legal adviser so counsels.

SENIORITY RIGHTS"

It is more than intimated that the the railroads would agree to restore seniority rights" to men who walked out. Moreover it is reported that there is feeling in Washington that the roads are taking something of a high handed attitude in refusing to restore those rights. Some way might be found 1t is intimated, to satisfy the men in this regard. In other words the roads might find a way to give the men what they want witout absolutely going back on what they have decided
 L. F. Loree, president of the Dela- ware and Hudson and chairman of the Eastern Railroad Presidents Con- ference has asked that the President and chairman of the Railroad Labor Board study the strike from the point of view of the employees who did not strike. Amen,

 And then consider the men who did not strike.
 Everyone wants the strike settled. If the settlement of the strike places the men who struck in the same positions they occupied before their action which they now practically repudiate certainly the employes who did not strike-the men who refused to go against the decision of gov ernmental body at the behest of a radical labor leader-certainly those loyal men should be placed in a far better position than they were before the strike. If the strikers are as well off after the strike-if they do not lose anything because of their action,

THE HOUSING PROBLEM.

All indications In the business world are 10 the effect that a return to normal is imminent, that the great American public will soon have a sutfciency of money in it's pocket and that the butcher the baker and the candle-stick maker are going to get their share of the cash in the natural course of events In New Britain the unemployment situation Is not seri- ous the Charity Department of the city Is being relieved of some of the strain that was placed upon 1t during the period of readjustment, and the factories report that there is not the great oueus of men about the gates awaiting a job as there were few months ago As employment in- creases there will come more money into circulation. as there is more money there will be more spending and the shopkeeper along the street will find that a lean year or so is
 
 being made up for to some extent.
 There is one thing. however, that is standing in the way of New Brtain,s progress toward the much desired goal of comparative affluence and that is the housing situation. For some reason this city is much behind others in this vicinity in building, there have not been a great many houses constructed during the past year and we are considerably under housed, so much so that rents are at a premium still, too much of a premium It is taking a large slice from the monthly pay envelope to pay the rent, leaving less for the butcher, the baker and the candle-stick maker and the vender of gasoline. The old rule of spending about one weeks wages for rent has gone by the boards, it is impossible to get rent for a weeks wages in the city unless one is particularly fortunate as to wages.
 Nearly everything In the line of necessities is apprecisbly lower in price than it was a year or so ago. l The pre-war levels may not have been reached, but they are being ap- preached. Wages have taken a tum | ble as well as costs but rents remain 1 high. Shortly after the war there was great exchanging of property. | Landlords bought at high prices, and | rented, at a price to bring them the proper net on their money. They | could not afford to do otherwise they paid large sum for their holdings and they have to collect large rent. They are unwilling to take a loss, ! naturally, and they are not forced to do so as there are few rents to be | procured.
 Building of houses is the answer, ! though building is high now in pro- portion to what it was six months | ago. The own a home movement is not far-fetched, 1t is not necessarily | plan to sell lumber and supplies, it is bit of real economy for the work man who wishes to spend a part of | his wage with others than the land lord.

RAWLINGS TESTIMONIAL.

Any evidence of appreciation for rare human understanding and con sideration, as well as by strict observ ance of duty, which the citizens of New Britain may show Chief of Police Rawlings, will be deserved, He occupies Tn unique position in the minds of those who know him. A police officer, director of police activ ities of many years, he has made many friends in a position which calls for the performance of unpleasant, trying duties not calculated to inspire friendship. And yet, With all this, he has seen New Britain pass through trying times and has remained at the head of the force until the day has come when those times are past and this city stands, head up, clean and orderly as cities of the nature of New Britain are judged.
 ProSecutlng attorneys In great cltles have depored the fact that they, because of their constant prosecution of and association with criminals of every class, are apt to lose their confidence in human nature and be- come cynical, even hard of heart. The comment might apply with even more force to a chief of police. And yet in Chief Rawlings may be seen a man who, doing his duty, arresting to prevent crime, has not lost that charity which makes the world easier for all.
