WHEN TRACKS WEAR OUT

The car tracks along various lines in New Britain are gradually getting near the stage where replacement VIII be necessary. On some of tho lines speed Is not maintained because Of the constant blowing" of the one-man cars-indeed. they seem 10 bow 10 every passerby.
 Probably the same thing Is happen ing in other cities of the state. When tracks become entirely too rickety for travel. the question naturally will arise along non paying lines--is it worth while to replace thcm or adopt buses?
 It is almost q safe bet that when that time arrives the Connecticut company will be going into the bus business on the wholesale plan. It would be ridiculous to replace tracks on losing lines

HIS PRIVATE OPINION

When Mayor Paonessa "endorsed' Edward F. Halls candidacy for the state senate he apparently did so as . private individual. The mayor, al- though a Democrat is not the Demo- cratic party, and his personal opinion need not be accepted as guide for that party.
 The mayors admiration for NIT. Halls abilities and integrity antcdated the mayors public pronouncement in favor of the Hall candidacy. It was the mayor who in token of the esteem in which he held Hall, appointed him chairman Of the committee Of finance and taxation last spring. It is crcdita- ble to the mayor that he appointed Hall 10 this important post because Of Hall's unique fitness.
 If the mayor wants to see Hall in the senate hat is the mayors busi- ness. He may have been inJudicious and nasty in blurting out his prefer ences. but he is entitled 10 be the master of his own thoughts and opin- ions and not receive them second hand from others.
 The mayor has taken the risk Of forfeiting his supposed leadership or the Democratic party in inc ciiy by being overly frank; yet he may know perfectly well what he is about.
