In view of the large investment re-

need for an additional route, more
convincing evidence IS required.

BANDITS EXPLOIT
AND POLICE,

The ease with which an armed robber was able to get away with $150 after holding up a bowling al- ley in this city yesterday is bad sign. The city happily has been free of such crimes to a greet extAnt, but this fellow at least showed the po- lice and the authorities generally that it can be done. The proper way to meet the challenge is more care fitness in the han Hing of funds and improved police protection.
 It was only few days ago that Police Chief Hart pointed out that an effort had been made to obtain five additional patrolmen for sever al years; and it was only the other day that we pointed out how the Board of Finance and Taxation had provided funds for additional police IntU anu llltu lllt 'plllli NOHiiNi' rcneged on the plan and permitted only one addition. Such tactics lead to no good end. A city without ade- quate police protection means that the civic authorities are dcfrauding citizens of protection they are pay ing for ill tax money.
 Of course. the particular bandit who operated on Church street may have done so irrespective of how many policemen were on the force On the other hand, more policemen on hand in the vicinity would have decreased his chances of escape.
 It is to be hoped that the city authorities will no longer procras- tinatc about bringing the police force up to par. Citizens are entitled to an adequate police force. When they have one they know that the money they pay in taxes is showing results in the quantity of protection given

SIGNS OF 4 CALLOIS AGE?

If some calamity were suddenly to hit New York city and kill 930 pcrsons-SS3 of them childrcn--the news would create widespread con sternatlon tho world over,
 1T storm or an earthquake hit Massachusetts and killed 2G persons, 1t would he first page news in every newspaper fin the country.
 But as it is, these things occur piccemcal and there is not so much fuss made about it.
 The 939 deaths in New York city represented the departure Of that many human beings in II months as a result of automobile accidents.
 The 26 sudden deaths in Massa- chusetts represented the killing of that number by automobiles in one week.
 There is a species Of callousncss connected with our complacency re- garding the number of persons be- ing killed by automobiles through out the country. More persons arc being killed in this manner every year than were killed in some wars; and in a comparatively few years we kill more people with automo- piles than we lost In ;lanpower in the World War. Yet very little is done about 1t. One scarcely ever hears of anyone serving 8 prison term for killing anyone with an automobile-such deaths, 1t appears, are always entirely accidental, and never due to reckless driving. This probably is due 10 the fact that the victims are not in position to give any testimony.
 There sometimes is more sympathy for the automobile driver than for his victim.

THE CITY'S INCREASE IN POPULATION

Nose careful observers in the city have been guessing all along that the population was 10000. Now comes a survey clearly indidating that it is 69,998. The guess. there fore. was a mighty close one.
 An increase of IS per cent since the federal census of 1920 is consid- erably above the average. If contin- ued until 1880, when the next fed eral census will be taken. the popu- lation al that time will be more than S0,000, and this would represent ap- proximately an increase of 20,ooo Tn ten years.
 New Britain has been one of the fastest growing cities in New Eng land. Its growth has brought new problems in their wake. These must be solved as they arise. some ol them are not solved very speedily.

DIR. BRAY, PHYSICIAN AND GOOD CITIZEN

The death of Dr. Henry r.

He was a physician with an unusually large practice, prestige and reputation; and was known to thousands of persons who had been his patients or were numbered among his friends and acquaint- ances. It was only recently that he ofTiciated at his 4,O00th obstetrical case, so at least that many people in the city were brought into the world" under the kindly ministra- tions Of this well-liked family phy- siCian.
 His efforts in behalf of better sysematized health service have left their mark on the health progress of the city. He had been one Of the city's first health off, cers, was chairman of the board of health, had been president of the New Britain Medical association and formerly was president of the New Britain hospital staff. He had been an active citizen in many other respects, giving much of his time and effort for the benefit of others. A organized health de- parmcnt with consequent good re- suits for citizens, was one of his chief ideals in civic service, and citizens as a whole have had much to be thankful for as q result Of his activities in this respect.
 New Britain will not forget pr. Bray and his unstinted services in behalf of the city.
