State police were also considering the possibility of an investigation to learn the lead CTS of the attacking force which met the klan with a fusilade of stones. smashing the windshields of scores of automobiles and other wise dam aging the machines. Members or the crowd claimed that several of the klansmen were struck by stones during the fracas.
 The assault on the klansmcn came as the climax of a vigil that had lasted from 10 o'clock last night when the crowd began to gather bling rocks and stone in preparation for the time when the members would start to leave the field.
 While the kansmen were leaving the field running through the con, tinuous shower of rocks and bricks Lieut.. Roy Kimball and eight mem bers of the state police patrol were rushing from the Holden barracks to preserve order. Nearly all the klansmen had left the field WheI they arrived.
 The disorders were the first t mark a klan meeting since the riot at Lancaster and Spencer las August when scores were injured and many automobiles were dam aged,

GASOLINE COMMITTEE SHOJLD STEP ON IT"

The reason tn e councilmanic gasoline investigation committee cannot agree upon a chairman is because there Is considerable work attached to the job. Perhaps every body can give an opinion that the price of gasoline is too high, but not everybody can dclve into the reason in an intelligent manner and produce sufficient facts of a rele- yant character 10 counteract the data. claims and assertions of the legal and managerial talent of the oil companies. And it would be no particular glory for anybody to be chairman of committee that stands a chance of getting worsted in the forensic tussle.
 Yet the city indulgcd in the ses- ture of naming a gasoline invtstl- gating committee ana 'ne Ia''e' should either disband and admit its impotcncy or go ahead and tackle the joh. The Hartford committee seems to be struggling along fairly well: and so are committees in other cities. Of course, members Of the local committee can listen in at Hartford and gain 8 deal of in- formation to impart to their col leagues; but after all, this was not inc object of appointing the local committee.
 The mayor should take q hand in i inc matter and demand action or tho committees finish, As things stand now tho publiAis likely 10 ac- copt tle notion that the city at tempted to bite off moro than n could chew.

RENEWAL OF WARFARE OVER BIS LINES

The warfare between the Oak street bus line and the Connecticut company continues unabated. with the owners Of the Oak street line protesting strongly against the focal" service given by the Con- necticut company.
 It will be remembered that the original plan of the Connecticut company was not 10 operate on a local schedule but residents out that way desired the additional service, Oak street and Fremont street, where the yellow busses run, being but two short blocks apart, The mayor reluctantly consented to permitting local service by the vel low busses after residents had clamored for 1t. Now the Oak street bus owners find the competition anything but wholesome.
 How to settle such a controversy requires a few Solomons on the railroad committee. With clashine bus interests on the one hand and the public interest and desire or the other. almost any action taken will fail to suit somebody. Council. man Caldwell and his colleagues have the sympathy Of others more fortunately situated.

AN EXPENSIVE PROJECT AT WASHINGTON STREET

As Chairman Conlon of the pub lie works board says, when the board of compensation and assess ment takes Up the proposed wlden- Ing of Washington street and the estimate of damages to he paid property owners comes before the Common Council. the cost may look prohibitive. We rather think, unless the city by that time is in a position to spend money with more abandon than al present, the job will look altogether too expansive to tackle.
 Yet this is street that could be wdened with great advantage to the city, Perhaps eventually 1t will be done-after the passing of a generation or two and the city finds downtown conditions unbearable. But at present candid and frank consideration Of problems make the project more chimerical than prac- tlcal. When it is considered that at the junction of West Main street the Rurritt hotel Is on one side and the Professional building is on the other. and that other important buildings are scattered along the street elsewhere, the project looks rather steep.
 If he city is going into the str.r widening business on a large tca4 II would seem that there are othcr and less expensive opportuni- tia at hand, although in the down. town section every contemplated widening will he found more or less expensive. The truth is that the city, when it was in its swaddling clothes, did not look ahead very far, SO that today VIC have d sad con glomeration of fairly narrow streets and twists and turns second to none anywhere else. We arc like downtown Boston on smaller scale; and the widening of streets in Boston has already run into the millions. with the expenditure o' many more millions in sight. ul'i' matoIy Now Britain will he faced with the same expensive necessity and the Washington street widening project is an ink)ng Of what 10 oX pcct tf we live long enough.

4 STEP FORWARD IN POLICE DEPARTMENT

Police sergeants who will ride In automobiles during the evening hours hereafter or as soon as the machines can be provided-and an additional patrolman in the fifth ward, form anticipated improve ments of police surveillance in the city this year. But this does not mean that the police force Is ade- quate or that no further improve ments will be needed In the next few years. The city has been "wor- rying along" with what officials in the employ Of the city regard as an inadequate police force, and 1t will require more than these minor i'm provements to catch up with the necessities created by the growing city.
 Although there has been some slight disagreement as to the value of using automobiles to patrol parts of the city, the experiment in con nectlon with the sergeants ought to have its values. The fact that the machines will also be at the use of the police department for emer- geny work during the daytime can not be regarded otherwise than a benefit for the department should such occasion arise, although there has been no dearth of transporta' ton facilities in the past,

down the pavement at a cost as much below this figure as possible
 Unless 1t costs the city more to lay down pavements than 1t costs contractors, the city ought at least to save the profit of the contrac- tors. If 1t costs the city moro to do the work than it costs contractors, then the amount saved may be lit- tie or nothing, unless 1t can be shown that the city gets a better job by doing the work itself, This again will give supt Kearney an opportunity 10 show his stuff"

 The only fault with the law as passed by the Legislature was that 1t didn't go far enough. But 1t was at least q step In the right direc- ton and the state must make every effort 10 keep the law intact upon the books.
