NOT EXPECTING RETURN
OF TROLLEY ROADS SOON

Suspicion now exists that the New Ha-
ven road will not he given its trolley lines
very soon. While authoritative statement
is not available today, and officials OF tho
New Haven road have received no word
as TO when the attorney-generars decision
is coming. the extension of time for selling
trolleys to July l. 1928, is looked upon as
a. bad sign, says the New Haven Times
Leader.
When the attorney general appeared II
the New Havens territory and held 2
series Of hearings to determine the pub
lie feeling as to return Of the trolleys, tn
general impression was that the return
would be ordered in a. very short time.
Now that an extension of time has been
ordered the impression has been wiped ont
entirely and a new one takes It's place.
The New Haven was first ordered to dis
pose of it's trolley holdings in 1914 and
1915 The road appealed from time &c
time for extensions Of the decree. The last
date was July l, 1922. Judge Learned
Hand extended the time another year, an
nouncing the decision Friday
A person familiar with the situation
says, The extension of time fer the sale
does not mean anything in particular a
far as the New Haven is concerned. Il
the minds of some people, perhaps, th'
decision were near this extension woul
not have been asked 1t is possible to inter
pref the extension any way you desire"
As the cast of the New Haven trolley
was first presented it was known as UNIT
ed States against the New York, New Ha-
ven and Hartford Railroad Co." AS re
suit Of this suit in the United States dis
trict court, decree was entered putting the
trolley properties in the hands of trustees
until they could be sold The date for
this sale was extended from suit never oh
jecting.
Now the defendant has asked the plain
tin to take action to dissolve the decree
When the request was received the plain
tiff asked the encouragement to invest
gate and report as to whether there wa
any merit in the request. That invesJiGa-
ion has been concluded, and every one i.
waiting the report. The assumption is tina:
the judge VINO heard the case would ac
exactly as the recommendation may read.
If tile return is recommended the judges
would order the return. If it is not re
commended then the return would not b.
authorized
Trustees Of the Connecticut Co. have n;
standing in court. They are simply agents
for tie plaintiff, carrying out the PLAINTIFF s
orders. They have not power to Oppose
the return or to favor it..

NORWICH WOMAN BUYS
RESIDENCE IN GR0ToN

The house owned by DR.. 2. Oliver
Winship on Monument street in Groton
has gone into the hands of Mrs. Anna c.
Starr of Norwich, according to an
agreement between the two persons
signed recently. The house has been
in the ownership of DR.. Winship for 10
years and most of the time has accom-
modated two families, until recently
when William G. Stebbins the former
president of the Tracy Chemical Co.,
New London, and Mrs. Stebbins re-
moved to their present home on School
street. The house has is large rooms
and its situation Is perhaps the most
desirable in the borough for an excellent
view of the harbor. The property upon
which the building stands covers large
area and is well planted with flower
beds and shrubs and has a large num-
Der of pine trees. When DR.. Winshir
first became owner Of the property In
1912 he devoted one section Of It for use
as a private sanatorium for the patients
in his care using the other portion foZ
his household.
The property was formerly owned by
Mrs Abbie D. Slocumb who sold it to
the physician The amount Of land sold
to Mrs. Starr does not include the en-
tire property but there is still front
age of about 100 feet on Monument
street where 1t is expected that DR.. Win
ship will soon start the building Of an
other home. The Winships will vacatt
the house some time before July l..

ing along another line, more especially
in the realm of electricity They are
contributing much to our civilization.
While our forefathers read by the light
of the log fire or by the old tallow can
die, even the most ordinary among us
can sit down after supper and turn on
the brilliant electric light and read in
real comfort.
We hear the slogan in our day, '9build
your own homes and this is a good
slogan, but did you ever stop to think
of the difference between building
house and building home. There is
all the difference dn the world. With
the assistance of loan associations al
most anybody can build house, but 1t
Is real task to build a home. You
build a house with brick and stone and
wood, but if you are to build a real
home you must use for your materials
much Of this material are you using in
building your home life? While the
building of great bridges, tunnels and
skyscrapers and houses and the verJ
work you are doing are all very import
ant, they are not the most important
phase of building; the greatest build
ing effort you can engage in is the
building Of character. You recall the
parable spoken by Jesus where he tells
OF Two dHou uDu1lulHS, each HIS mouse,
and when the heavy storm of wind and
rain beat upon these houses. one fell in
ruins while the other stood the strain
of the elements and was unmoved and
Jesus gave the reason why that house
fell in ruins and why this house was
unframed one was buiIded upon the
sand and the other was builded upon
the. solid rock; just the difference in
foundation that was all. I am told that
the cost of the foundation of one of
those great sky scrapers is well nigh
as much as the superstructure. In
building character, there must be the
solid foundation and the great Apostle
tells us what that foundation must be
he tells US that the only enduring foun-
dalton for us to build upon is Jesus
Christ My brother man is Christ at
the foundation of your life? If so, your
life will be successful in the highest
sense, but if not, then no matter what
else you may achieve, your life is a fail
ure 1--WE are building in sorrow or
joy, temple the world may not see,
which time cannot mar nor destroy, we
build for eternity" Let us all build up
on the only sure foundation

LAKE OPPOSES SECURITIES


Governor Everett ]. Lake of Connec-
ticut expressed his reasons for oppos-
ing the proposed twentieth amendment
to the Constitution, providing for tax
ing of state securities by the federal
government in the following words;
ANY expression of mine upon this
subject could in no sense be indicative
of the ultimate action of the Connecti-
cut legislature, when and if this ques-
ton should be presented to it for action.
1t may have some significance, however,
that in 1911 the Connecticut legisla-
| ture, by a decisive majority, refused to
ratify the sixteenth amendment to the
Constitution giving congress power TO
lay and collect taxes from whatever
source derived, and it is a matter Of
general knowledge that the hearings on
this particular amendment brought out
a strong and deep-seated sentiment
throughout the state, that congress
should not interfere with the policy OF
powers OF the state in this matter, and
that the rights of the state should not
be further curtailed or surrendered, but
should be reserved for the Legitimate
purposes and uses of the state and its
government. That sentiment, I am per-
suaded would persist in Connecticut to
this day and the same arguments would
be. undoubtedly, renewed if this ques-
ton is presented to Connecticut gen
eral assembly.
Il know no better evidence Of the
temper of the people Of Connecticut as
1t exists upon this subject, and accord
| ingly, 1 doubt very much whether Con
necticut would ratify the proposed
amendment in any Of the forms OF
drafts which I have seen. Certainly, il
my opinion. no form Of amendment
would be proper which makes such pro
visions apropos to securities, issued af
ter the passage by congress of tbs

BUILDERS" WAS TOPIC

AT SHOP MEETING
At the Richmond radiator plant on
Tuesday noon under Y. NJ. G.. A. aus
pices General Secretary Edwin Hill ad-
dressed a goodly group of the employees
in the foundry of the plant. His topic
was Builders. and among other things
he said. NO man is a real American
citizen unless he is building some
thing: men are either building or tear
ing down. the good citizen is always
building while the bad citizen is tear
ing down.
America is noted for its building ca
pacity; for it's wonderful construction.
monster bridges IN Greater New York
are marvels of construction 1 under
stand that in a single twenty-four hours
and these wonderful bridges are COM
petent to stand the strain, rejecting
great credit on the builders. Then
there is the great tube or tunnel I'M
der the river, a marvellous feat Of
building. There are also the great sky
scrapers that make you dizzy to look
at; enough people employed in some OF
these buildings to populate a town. An
other very important type Of building is
the work of the teachers in our schools
at once "a great privilege and great
responsibility building knowledge into
the minds of the youth, that they be
fitted to fight the battle Of life, these
faithful teachers deserve great credit
for their patience and interest in the
children. Edison and others are build.
