 FAVORED BY BARTLETT
Councilman Believes It Can Be Built at
 Little Cost

Councilman Donald l.. Bartlett, who is chairman of the committee appointed by Mayor A, NJ. Paonessa to look into the advisability and the cost of placing municipal swim ming pool in the south end park, be- lieves the plan is a feasible one and can be carried through with nominal cost.
 He went over the ground with Mayor A. M Paonessa and found the contour of the land good and
 he supply of water excellent. The construction of dam and small amount of dredging appear to be the onl yexpenses connected with the pool proper, while simple bathhouses could he erected on the banks at small cost, he feels. He has con- veyed his ideas to Chairman Edward F. Hall Of the board of finance and taxation. and # has practically been decided to ask 3 special appropria- ton for this purpose, Statements made by Chairman Hall indicate that any effort to install costly bath houses, showers and other equip ment will be opposed by the finance board, btu that any movement en- tailing only reasonable expense will be approved.

Aroused by the alleged smoke, soot and gas nuisance caused by the factories of the Stanley Works, a number of residents who live on West Main and Russell streets and Grove Hill have circulated a peti- ton of remonstrance. Whether 1t has been forwarded to the officials of the corporation cannot be learned. It was not the intention of those who drew up the petition 10 court publicity and judging by the secretiyeness surrounding the movement they don't care 10 have anything said about tt in the press.
 According to report, the smoke, soot and gases from the Stanley Works have so affected the air in that section of the town that they have created an annoyance which has become insufferable. Many of New Britain's wealthiest citizens re- side in the district and their resi- dences are among the show places Of the town. Their happiness would be complete were 1t not for the fact that the fumes from the Stanley Works chimneys and factory be- cloud them a great part of the time, according to what is being said,

Message To Geneva Asks Intervention In Defense Of Innocent Nation That Seeks Only To Live Inde- pendent.
British Troops Again Make Display of Force--Possi- bility of Riots at Cairo Is Greatly Reduced.
By The Associated Press.

By The Associated Press.
 Geneva, Nov, 26,-A telegra m of protest against the British action in Egypt following the assassination of the Sirdar, Sir Lee Stack. was re. ceived today by the secretariat bf the League Of Nations from the Egyptian parliament, under the sig nature of the president of that body.
 The text indicates that a similar communication has been forwarded to all the world parliament
 Officials In Doubt.
 The league officials seem to be in doubt as to what to do with the communication, coming as it does from the parliament and not from the Egyptian government.
 Whether it shall be distributed of- f7cialy to the members of the league council, which is meeting shortly in Rome, has not yet been determined, but officials this morning expressed the opinion that the most likely course was that the document would be transmitted 10 all the members of the league for their information.
 Text of Protest
 "Confronted with the recent ag- gressons committed by the British government" the protest says, the Egyptian chamber of deputies pro- claims:
 Firstly, its insistence upon the complete independence of Egypt and the Sudan, which constitute the same country, one and indiyisible; second ly, that despite the satisfaction given by the Egyptian government concerning the assassination of Sir Lee Stack the chamber regrets to note that the British government has seen fit to exploit this sad incident for the benefit of it's imperiahstic aims and to wreak vengeance upon q Pacific nation which can only rely upon the justice and right of it's cause.
 These aggressions. which en- croach upon Egyptian independence. violate its constitution and are a menace to its economic life, have no precedent in history.
 For these motives, the Egyptian chamber of deputies protests against the iniquitous acts. in fact and eh- solutely illegal and calls to witness all civilized nations of the enormity of such imperialistic cupidity.
 "The chamber colicists also the intervention of the league of na- ttons for the defense of the rights of an innocent nation which asked nothing more than to live indepen- dent"
