A Ray OF Hope For Rural Schools

Attorney General G. G. Crabbe, in
letter to Hon. Vernon M. Riegel,
Director of Education, in which he
reviews the decision of the Supreme
Court handed down Friday morning,
with reference to the financial con-
dition of rural schools, points out
possible way to keep the schools go
ing the remainder Of the present
school year. The supreme court
held that in order to be entitled to
the state equalization fund, the di
rector of education might at this
time certify ITO the county board Of
education, and the county board Of
education might levy the three-mill
levy of taxes, the same to be col
lected in it's entirety in the second
half, that is, in June, 1924.
The certifying of the three-mills
at this time, according to the at
torney general, has the same effect
as if it had been placed on the dup
licate last December, and that one
half of the same, or one and one
half mills, may therefore be issued
to pay the operating expenses of the
schools for the remainder of the
present school year Although this
money will not actually be collected
in June, the director of education
may advance to those districts COM
plying, the part to which they are
entitled from the state.
In some districts, the teachers
and others having contracts may be
forced to wait on their money until
the receipt of the advance in taxes
by the director, in June.
If the plan suggested by the at
torney general can be carried out,
approximately one hundred and IF
ty-fve schools may be kept open.
Mr.. Crabbe further points out that
the contracts with the teachers are
binding obligations and the boards
of education will be liable when
able to pay, even though the schools
should be closed, and suggested that
if at all possible to do SO within the
law, the schools should be kept go
ing. THE teachers said he, will,
no doubt, be glad to teach the school
year out if they can have the as
surance that the balance of their

salaries will be paid ont OF the June
collection OF taxes
Many centralized schools, includ-
ing high schools, are and will be
closed, and students will be depriv-
ed of their diplomas and may be un-
able to enter college next fall as
planned.

\ WORD FOR CHIEF HART

Chief of Police Hart deserves com mendation for using common sense and allowing automobile owners to re- tain their 1928 markers until r o'clock noon, today. In view of weather conditions at midnight last night. it would have been an imposi- ton to require owners to change their plates on the stroke of the bell.
 The state of Connecticut might fol- low Chief Hart's policy in the future. There is no need of changing markers on the dot. The average automobile owner is a responsible citizen. He wants to observe the laws, but, like all other men. he prefers q liberal in- terprctation of legislation which af- fleets him.
 Hundreds Of New Britain drivers were on the road or enjoying them- selves at social gatherings when 1924 was ushcred in this morning. They are thankful to Chief Hart for allow ing them 10 operate their vehicles without the necessity Of changing their plates.

Just as it appeared all might be clear sailing for the De la Hucrta faction evidently decided that it might gain some power, and peace and harmony was kicked into a cock cd hat. Hence the usual thing. a revo- lution and more troubles for us.
 We certainly could not afford to sell arms to the rebels after getting on such intimate terms with the govern men, that would be unheard of. But we could loan our aid to the rccogniZ- ed power by selling guns and am intuition from our supply.
 It is certain that the rebels will bear q grudge against us should they win. it is certain that regulars will be the closer to us should they stay in power. Now we shall see the out come.

ZtpNINt.

Several local mon ot prominence are putting in considerable work. at thu present time. considering the working out of plans to sec that the city Of New Britain grows as fl should. a proposition which has been tried ont in some cities nd which is now de- veloping in others. Peculiarly enough, even while the general scheme is be- ing talked over. there comes an in- stance in the Bcltidorc section where tbe practical application of zoning would have saved great deal Of hard feelings in a npighborhood. and might have insured adjacent property owners against an intrusion or what they con- sidcr undesira blc addition to the sec tion.
 Briefly, it is proposed to place small store on corner in q section where residences are the rule. In ad- dition the store will. because Of q lack of building lines. 5ut out toward the street further than adjacent residences which those who objrct 10 inc store claim will be detrimental 10 their neighborhood. Property owners feel that tho intrusion of commerciaIism. small though the store may te, will lower inc value Of their holdings be- sides causing them other lncon- tenicnces.
 Coming. properly carried out, will provide against such things. Ezperts local and otherwise. will scan city maps. make personal surveys Of vari- ons districts and. when all available data is collected Wiii then adopt such recommendations as will outline just what may and may not be done in .acb district. Certain sections. tt will be decided. may Be available for fac .fory construction. others for one. tWo and tIuee family houses. stores may t,e built here and there in districts That are considered commercial CT partly so. Necessary authority from .be ,tste to enforce the provisions Of the Recommendations will be obtained and then. always providing the. voters of New Britain approve. zoning will become a reality.
 Naturally the present condition Of eitv districts wim be the consideration iu making zonfng laws There are sonesspots nou where the preponder- | apre of buildings is certain type. Tn al proBability these same spots will
New Britain herald., 1924-01-01

be allotted 10 buildings of similar
 type. There will be no attempt to
 change tn" existing order Of things,
 if n lone store is located in district which is destined to become non-com-
 mcrcial that store will stay. No others may go tip. Thus there will eventually come about Il well ordered scheme for the city, with each class of dwell ings and of stores in it's proper place.
 We need but to consider the BelVi- dcre trouble to convince ourselves that zoning should work to. the benefit of all concerned. It will furnish, if noth- ing else, a guarantee to the purchaser of property that his holdings shall not be lessencd in value by the intrusion of undesirable businesses. A man will know. or he should. just what he is buying. just what he will he allowed to do with the real estate before mak- ing the purchase It appears that zoning the city will save taxpayers
 many times the first cost in insuring them against depreciation of their property.

THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK

Business recognizes no such arb- trary thing as calendar, It does recognize conditions, New Britain manufacturers and bankers whose views are expressed in the news columns of the Herald today believe that the first six months of 1924 should be productive of business equally as good as that which marked the past few months Of 1923.
 This is reassurinr news for New Britain As a source Of reliable in- formation manufacturers and bankers are usually dependable, Like all hu- man beings. they are susceptible to error. but they strike a harmonious chord in expressing forecasts for the new years and it will be music 10 the ears of the working men Of New Brit ain
 Stress is laid on the new tax policy Of Secretary Melton His plan has been endorsed by leaders in trade throughout the nation and seems to have substantial support, which is re- fected in this city.
 The presidential campaign m the faU is tho ny in the ointment, There k more or less uncertainty concerning the result ms the minds of the people are still seeking measures which will afford relief from the ills with which the country is suffering Tn" radicals from tho midwest. who hold enough power to upset congressional pro- gram. are factors to be considered and the damage they may do is not ig- nored in the statements this paper is printing.
 On the whole. prospects are bright l. and there is no immediate caase for worry. Business is going forward and tho city should continue to enjoy prosperity.

WARD LINE FAILS
 FOR TWO MILLIONS
Receiver. Is Named for New
 York and Cuba Mail Co.

New York, Jan. 1.-The New York and Cuba Mail Steamship company. i originally organized in 1911 and bet ter known as the Ward Line, was placed in the hands of receiver yes terday by Judge Learned Hand in the United Sta-s District Court. Judge Hand appointed Colonel Francis C.. Caffey, former United States attorney for this district and now member of the law firm of Bouvier. Caffey & Beale, 165 Broadway, as receiver un- der bond of s50,00o.
 The liabilities of the Ward Line are estimated at s2,000,00o. It is said that it's assets are in excess of its li abilities The receivership is the re- suit of an action in equity begun by the Wendell P. Cotton company. ad- vertising, through it's counsel, satter- lee X Garfield, 27 William street The petitioners claims, it is set forth, to- tai s14,191.4S.
 The allegations of the complaint are admitted and the defendant joins in tho prayer for a receiver in an an- swer filed on behalf of the steamship company by Enrich, Wheeler X Wal ter. attorneys, 67 Wall street.
 In the petiti2n it is stated that the capital stock of the Ward Line is s10.O00,O0o, consisting of 2oo,o0o shares of $50 par value each, all out standing.
 S5, i03, ,000 Bonds Outstanding.
 There is an outstanding issue of s5.40S,000 due Jan. 1, 19S2. secured by mortgage. Other indebtedness, approximately S2,O00,O0o is for money loaned and goods delivered. It is alleged that this money is long past due.
 The assets of the New York and Cuba Mail Steamship Company are described as of value largely in eN- cess of the liabilities. It is stated, however. that the company is without funds sufficient to meet its outstand- ing obligations now due,
 The company's financial difficulties are attributed to the abnormal condi- tions of the shipping business throughout the world; also to the re- duction of ocean freight rates. AI
 The integrity and continuity of the company's activities is an important and valuable factor, according 10 the and it is asserted that un- less the assets of the defendant are l by a court of equity "a race Of diligence between creditors for preference" win ensue and the assets will be wasted,
