RAILROADS MEAN
 LIFE ID THE CITY
Supt. SnaVely Says They Save
 Us From Starvation

"rhe people of New Britain would starve to death in so days If rail- road transportation were stopped" said Superintendent D. J. snavely of this division of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad in an address to the Kiwanis club at the Burritt hotel at noon today,
 Mir. Snavely opened his talk by stating "The New Haven railroad is your railroad.' He began by trac- ing the development of steam power and railroad Transportation from 200 B. c. to the present day.
 Some interesting figures were quoted in connection with modern railroading. The average locomotive which goes through New Britain has wheel base of,74 feet sS inches and ''trackage effort" of 72,0o0 pounds. A freight locomotive weighs 561,140 pounds and a passenger en- zine weighs 42l,sS0 pounds, carries , '16 tons of coal and 11,00o gallons of water. The average engine costs $10D,000. 'ss
 The New Haven road operates 1000 trains every day. On freight train of 60 cars there are 578 bear ings running in oil all the time. which must be cared for at the end of each long run. .r
 "A Trains Here Daily 'f
 Speaking about New Britain, Mir. Siiavely said this city has 76 indus trial sidetracks and 74 main line trains 20 through here every day. Host of tho industrial switching is tione on the main tracks, also. He said if all the cars handled by the railroad in one year were put into one train it would circle the globe three times and the caboose would be in Nsw Britain while the engine would be in China. If man stood at . crossing and watched that train start out today, he would see the caboose about the seventh of next September, figuring that the train travelled at the rate of 20 miles an hour.
 Today he said the road has 43,000 cars. The daily average of freight trains Is 567 and these trains handle 23,2s6 cars. On March 22, 1924 the road handled 2S,5o9 cars, which is the highest record for that corpora tion. In March the road ran 45,776 passenger trains and 94 3-10 per cent of them were on time. The report for April 3 shows s7 per cent of pas senger trains on time. ,
 Did You Get Yours?
 Last year New Britain received 452 carloads of beef, or f1z cars every day. This city also received, he stated, 125 carloads of grapes, which, converted into wine, would make a half barrel for each inhabit- ant.
 One carload of automobiles for all most every day was received last year, the total beaing 3o2 cars. There were 32,79o cars handled in he city during the year, and 100 carloads of manufactured goods or raw material are being handled by local factories every day. One fac tory in New Britain handled 6,4oo cars alone last year.
 Next Wednesday will be a busi. ness session. The attendance prize. a box of cigars was won by Ernest H. Dechant and was smoked by the kiwanians during the address.
