MAYOR REJOICES AT
CROSSING REMOVAL
Declares "Voice Of People" Has AT
Last Been Heard by Public
Utilities Commission

Announcement yesterday afternoon
that the Public Utilities commission
had ordered the elimination of the
Clayton grade crossing was received
by Mayor A. NJ. Paonesaa with re-
iolcing. The mayor has worked con-
aistently to have the dangerous cross
Ing removed and exerted much effort
and spent considerable time In the
successful drive conducted by the
railroads committee and the Cham
Der OF Commerce this year.
Mayor Paonessa issued the follow
Ing statement this morning.
''The efforts OF the city OF New
Britain have been rewarded, and the
Clayton Crossing on the outskirts OF
our city Is to be eliminated, For many
years members OF the city govern.
nent, private citizens, and our local
papers have urged that this step be
taken, but without success. Once
again public opinion has triumphed,
the voice Of the people has been
heard.
THE elimination of this crossing,
where many precious lives have been
lost, will be great help to this city
e. well as the city of Hartford. TIaf-
nc which for many years has been
following the route through West
Hartford and Pennington avenue,

II believe the citizens Of New
Britain owe vote of thanks to those
who have persistently worked to at

FOR CONSULTATION


Of these official utterances the ex-
peetation is that the ambassador
visit will have a direct effect on that
situation.
1t appears certain that the state
department has seriously considered
the possibility OF American participa-
tion in some form in the proposed
economic and financial conference at
Brussels which was projected by the
allied statesmen but for which 1T has
not been possible to make definite
plans because of the split over Ger
man reparations. AS the conference
In Its original conception would not
have dealt with political matters in
Europe American participation might
conceivably have been possible al
though not any basis that would in
volve cancellation of allied indebted
ness to the United States.
Ambassador Harvey would be the.
logical channel for any informal ex-
change of views between the allied
and American governments during the
interval before the council of premiers
reassembled after New Years.

years ago Inere was nUtnlng Du, struggling mining camps.
 Twenty-Five years ago both mining and railroad development in Arizona were in their infancy. Then the as sessed value of all railroads operating within the state was less than $3,000,- 900, while the assessed value of min ing property of all description was less than $2,OOO,OOO.
 Assessed Valuations
 The assessed valuations in 1921 fercefully show how the railroads and the mines constantly have progressed in the pioneering work of develop ment.
 The assessed valuation of the rail roads of Arizona for this later year amounted to more than $1O1 1000, ,O0O, while that of the mining properties was more than 407,0OO,OOO.
 This enormous increase in the min ing development in Arizona, from a comparatively insignificant copper pro- ducer twenty-five years ago to the greatest copper producing section of the United States today, has been due to a marked degree to the rail road development.
 It is considered highly significant that some of the greatest copper pro ducing sections of the state actually have been developed only after the railroads were built into those terri tories.
 One example of this was in the con. struction of what now is the Arizona Eastern Railroad, a line 124 miles long, into Globe, for one large mine As a result, the extensive low grade properties in the vicinity of Miami were developed. The mines at Ray were developed in similar manner, following construction of a branch line railroad to Winkelman.
 Mining experts declare it is a great question as to whether the low grade bodies in the vicinity of Miami and Ray ever would have been developed had it not been for the fact that branch railroad lines previously had been constructed to serve other terri. tories.
 The story of development work in New Mexico, Nevada and in othe5 sections is similar one.

HINES AND RAILS
 LEAD DEVELOPMENT
Cooperation of s. P. With Mines Increases
 Business and Population

The vast, Wealth-laden territory west of the Rocky Mountains owes its development primarily to two aGen- cies-Mining and Railroading.
 The attention of the world was first attracted to the West with the an- nouncement Of the discovery of gold. A great influx of people followed and the tales of the resources and possi bilities in the West spread to all parts of the globe.
 The one great obstacle in the way of development was the lack of trans portation facilities. The long, peri. lous voyage around Cape Horn in ''windjammers" mitigated against any considerable interchange of commerce.
 Fortunately there were captains of industry and finance possessed ot broad vision, courage and sufficient faith in the future of the West to con ceive and bring to completion great systems of transcont;nental railways. Among these the Southern Pacific were the first lines.
 For many years there were nothing but main lines of railroads through the mining territory and the ores and rich minerals were transported to the railways by mules, donkeys and horses from mines far back in the mountains. The placer mining camps of the early days were about the only ones located adjacent to the railroad.
 In the last twenty-five years the greater mining development on the Southern Pacific has been in Nevada and in Arizona and New Mexico Op- erations in these districts have re- suited in very heavy movements of mining supplies such as concentrating, smelling and other treating machinery, explosives, timbers and fuel.
 There also has developed a very heavy outbound tonnage of bullion and other finished or contemplated mineral products from the mines.
 s. P. co-operates
 The policy of the Southern Pacific always has been to cooperate in the development of these properties. In doing so it has followed the plan of publishing reasonable freight rates On the materials and supplies used in the mines and in the. treatment of the products of the mines, with low rates on the ores or on the manufactured products out of the smelters.
 In the adjustment of rates on the products of the mines it has been the policy to establish schedules based upon the values of the product. The principle has been recognized that producer of ore worth $1O0 ton can afford to pay a higher charge than can the producer of ore valued at $20.
 This has been done in recognition of the fact that the great bulk of the ores transported would be of lesser value and with the view of encourag- ing the greatest possible production of low grade ores, so that in the aggre- gate would be transported sufficient volume of tonnage to afford a reason: able return on the investment.
 The company also has encouraged to the fullest extent the treatment of minerals at the point of produc- tion.
 These policies have resulted in the maintenance of the closest possible feeling of cooperation between mine owners and the railroad, bringing about constantly increasing popula- tion in the mountain and desert re- gions, with development in the thriv- ing industrial cities, where only few

Peace Hath Victories as Well as War

in battles, skirmishes, campaigns and
other warlike enterprises.
According to General Lejeune this
policy is based on theory which
has seldom been considered in con.
nectiOn with the military service
namely, that the marine corps exists
not only to serve the nation in war,
but to constitute a reserve of edu-
Gated, trained, technical men ready
to come to the aid of the country in
any manner in which their services
may be needed in emergencies of
peace.
An apt illustration of the manner
in which the corps new policy has
put all marines "on their toes" to
serve the nation whenever needed, is
furnished in the happenings of the
collapse of the Knickerbocker thea
ter. The roof of the Inflated build
ing fell shortly after o'clock on the
evening of January %. Within n
quarter of an hour more than 200
marines with trucks containing Jacks,
acetylene torches and other devices
were bucking their way through the
heavy snow to the scene of the acci-
dent two miles away. Their work on
arrival is too well known all orer the
country to need retelling. The ejacula-
ton of one of the survivors: ''Thank
God for the Marines sums up public

billions the present recognized valua-

that the value now recognized is far
in excess of real values.
Next to the matter of transporta-
tion is the question of agricultural
credits. We are just now getting
shaped up new credit bill. 1t Is based
on the findings of the joint agricul-
tural commission, which would set up
new machinery for more adequate
credit facilities through the federal
farm loan board.

Golden Shears for Secretary Hughes

The gift was presented by Matthew

gift that Alexander made of his sword
