apply the Golden Rule in dealings wish their patrons. This alm and effort on tho part of retailers to convince customers that they are in business to serve tho public, honest ly and well, must of sheer necessity bring the desired results and we are confident that the prestige and en- yiable reputation of New Britain as an attractive shopping center, which is mounting steadily, will grow to be one of the best In the state.

 Main Line Station
 "A movement, formally instituted by the city government to secure for New Britain 9 railway station on the main line of the New Haven road, has been most heartily en- dorsed and supported by the Cham Der, which has recommended such action for some time. As result, tho president of the Chamber has been named chairman of joint committee of municipal officials and representatives of this organization to pursue the most advisable course in the project.
 Through the influence of the Chamber and prominent citizens or the city, New Britain is finally to have a through paved highway to Hartford. thus linking the city with the grand trunk concrete highways from New York to Boston, by way Of New Haven. Cheshire, Southing- ton and Plainville. Numerous road signs, suitably inscribed will be dis tributed along the highway within a short time by the Chamber.
 Program for Coming Year
 Tn outlining for your considera- ton, a program of proposed activity for the coming year, your secretary has given serious thought to such community and civic problems as will come before Us soon, and in which the Chamber can render active service.

 Proposal to the board of park commissioners that tentative plans be made for the laying out of a municipal golf course as soon as possible.

 Further promotion of the Trade in New Britain campaign in the in terests of New Britain people and New Britain merchants.
 Actively lend cooperation to the plan of the mayors special commit tee and the common council, rela- tive to the erection of a permanent memorial to the New Britain men who died in the service of their country during the World war.
 Preliminary steps have already been taken in the first of these pro- Jects and in conjunction with the officials of Berlin, We hope to secure paved highway from South Main street, clear through to the Berlin station and perhaps to the turnpike, Municipal Golf Course with regard to the municipal golf course, it is clearly apparent that its need is manifest and we feel that the Chamber of Commerce should proceed to agitate this movement for a course in the city. While perhaps popular opinion may vary on the necessity for this civic improvement, it is evident that this game is becoming tremendously popular in all communities. There is no question but that the time is not far distant when the demand for a links here will be strong and early action on this project seems advisable.
