STUDY SYSTEM OF ZONING
 IN USE IN SPRINGFIELD
New Britain Men Confident Work Can Be Done Here at
 Less Cost.

Chairman Thomas Linder of the zoning commission and members of the ways and means committee went to Springfield yesterday and studied the zoning system employed in that city. a system which, exclusive Of many incidentals, cost 5000 to in- stall.
 Chairman Linder said this morning that this city is in a position to secure system which will be less expensive with much ol the incidental costs eliminated entirely,
 In Springfield, the delegation found, the assessors were not in pos session of very much information as to building uses, ect and it was ncc- essary to engage corps of 30 can vassers to go through the city and gather data. The system employed in the local assessors office will avoid the necessity of such a canvass and save much expense since the use" maps can be prepared at once with the data in the assessors office. The Springfield zoning commission also engaged, at a cost of $500, the sery- ices of consultant on a full time lasis. There is sentiment locally for a part time consutant this mode Of procedure having been urged by Flaviel Shurtleff, secretary of the na- iional zoning commission, after sur vey of local conditions.
 Chairman Linder will call a meet ing Of the ways and means committee some evening next week at which time recommendation will be drafted as to procedure and probable costs, this material to be given to the com mission at a meeting to be held before the end of the year.

square miles Trinidad 1884 square miles and various
other islands aggregating 1880 square miles All OF
those islands only OF intrinsic worth but pos
special value to the United states because OF
their strategic relation 10 the Panama Canal.
In the Pacific both Great Britain and France possess
variety OF islands big and little that the United
States could properly add ts territory They are
less in the line OF communication between this
country and the Philippines and for that reason would
be benefited by governmental connection with the
United States.
French Guiana is the largest French possession in
the New World. having an OF 5000 square miles
about equal TO Indiana, and a population OF $4,000
Like British Guiana, It has great potential wealth and
could we'll be by the United States, particu-
lary if the Guianas Martinique ais square miles
islands OF small area, constitute the French
possessions in the West Indies. They share with the
British strategic the United States.
Should It be thought mutually desirable to accept
Asac territory might be directed to French
China which has of $4,000 square miles
about twice the size of California with population Of
100000 about 500 miles directly west OF the
Philippines. Doubtless Chinese would hail with de-
light the prospect OF American possession at their
southern border American policy of close re-
lations China would be materially advanced II we
took Indo-China-
OF all these suggestions are purely gratutous
The United States never has had and has not now a
policy OF imperalistic expansion and far as known
no official of government has intimated that
territorial would be considered Nevertheless

offer least a partial OF settlement with salts
faction and benefit all concerned.
