HERALD STARTS new
Want AD. SERVICE
Classified Advt. Takers and
Writers at Public's
Disposal

The New Britain Herald is pleased
to announce the inaugurating today
of a new service which is designed to
be of benefit to both the reader and
the paper. 1t is the standardization of
classified advertising and the opening
of service that is entirely new to the
people of this city.
New Britain has reached that stage
of development where it takes rank
with the leading cities of New Eng
land and recognizing that it's require
ments in service of all description are
those of a progressive and huStling
community, the Herald is placing at
the disposal of the people an advertis-
ing plan and arrangement that bust
ness houses and individuals in the
larger places enjoy.
The Herald has entirely recovered
from the inconveniences experienced
by it's force as a result of the fire
which damaged the plant several
weeks ago. In its rebuilt home, the
paper now has the most modern me-
chanical facilities and an equipment
second to no other publication of its
size in this section of the country. In
line with it's mechanical and news de-
velopment, it is proper that it should
introduce an up to the minute classi-
fled advertising service. Display adver-
tising creates a demand for the arti-

Also Insists That Bristol
Can Block Plan of Getting
Water From Wells, Which
Is Not Wholly Practical
Anyway.
Curtis Engaged Expert,
But Had No Right, Claim

Literally picking to pieces the re-
port of Consulting Engineer Allen
Hazen, by which it is proposed to in
crease the city's water supply to 49,
600, 600 gallons a day at an estimated
cost of S4,TaS,500, Thomas H. kehoe,
a former member of the water COM
mission, has branded as ridiculous and
impossible several of the more import
ant recommendations of the engineer.
Predicts $4,000. 900 Debt
The former commissioner asserted
that, in 25 years, the period which
will be necessary for the completion Of
the work, the water board will be in
debt to the extent of S6,000,000. Not
only that, but also the water rents will
of necessity have been increased at
least 40 per cent, Mr.. Kehoe states.
Says Dam is Weak
Attacking in particular the recom-
mendation for raising Shuttle Meadow
dam, the informant pointed out what
he said was imminent danger at that
reservoir, quoted former City En-
gineer William H. Hail. He asserted
that there is a grave possibility that
the present dam, even if it is not given
greater burden to bear, will shortly
break away. The speak then added,
Ihumorously; when this happens,
kensington will get the water it's look
ing for, but not in Just the manner
sought"
so Feet and No Substance
During Mayor George A. Quig-
leys tenure of office, Engineer Hall
conducted surveys at Shuttle Meadow
in the vicinity of the present dam. At
ter boring down a distance of so feet
without striking anything more SUBJ
stantial than mud and an occasional
boulder, the project was given up
Several hores had been made, accord
ing to Mr.. kehoe.
The method of determining the
grade of foundation is this: A hol-
low bore is used. Directed into the
earth, the drill goes downward fore
ing a core upward somewhat similar
to huge sausage. In this way sort
of sample of the materials struck is
produced. Eighty feet was productive
of nothing more substantial than mud,
| it is reported.
Down 100 Feet
In the opinion of the engineer and
others who Investigated, there was nos
indication of hard soil to be found
less than a hundred feet from the
level of the ground, Mr.. kehoe said,
and added that if the city was to go
ahead with the Hazen recommends

planned. new retaining wall

Is Complete Surprise.

Announcement of the resignation or
Premier BRAND comes with startling
suddenness at the moment Of his con-
cluding with Premier Lloyd George OF
Great Britain a treaty designed to
guarantee Frances security against an
unprovoked attack by Germany. Al
though the test of the proposed pact
has not been made public his politl-
cal opponents strongly objected to
what they charged as excessive con-
cessions granted by M. BRAND on the
subject Of Germany reparations.
His resignation also contains a
dramatic element in that only this
morning his cabinet was reported to
be in complete accord with his poll
cies at the allied supreme council
meeting at Cannes. whence he came
yesterday afternoon to defend his ac-
tons there.
Not In Year Yet.
M. BRAND has held the office of
premier slightly less than one year,
having formed his cabinet on January
16, 1921. He was once a socialist
leader and took a leading part in
guiding the destines of France dur
ing most of the critical periods of the
great war. During his public career
he has served as minister of interior,
minister of justice, minister of for
eign affairs, president Of the allied
supreme council four times as prem
Ter of France.
His resignation seriously compli~
Gates the important negotiations at
Cannes which We're about to culmn-
ate in the new French British treaty
giving France new guarantees and
seeking to stabilize European condi-
tions in general. Mr.. Lloyd George
ard NJ. BRAND have been the two con-
spicuous figures in the latest nego-
tiations and have been particularly
agreed on the terms of the proposed
treaty. But the sudden withdrawal
of M. BRAND leaves the whole trans
action in condition of uncertainty.

souarely up to the chamber of depu-
ties, telling the deputies, in the blunt

In handling the German morator-
ium question NJ. BRAND said:
"You must make up your mind on
that question: moratorium for
Germany. 1t is granted because
France has not voice in it. If France
had had the decision it never would
have been considered, but thanks to
the treaty of Versailles, article 254,
the reparations commission is en-
powered to grant delays, and you may
make up your mind now, that ma
iority of the reparation commission
has agreed to grant moratorium.
Resignation Surprise.
NJ, Brands intention to resign was
announced to the chamber at the close
of his hours speech. The announce
ment case as an entire surprise as he
had apparently won the sympathy OF
