POLICEMAN ENGLISH

Frank NJ. English, veteran police eacer. who died yesterday while nreraring to go upon his daily rounds. had for more than a gen. erstion been a conscientious city servant, one who was known to thousands of citizens at least by ap- pesrance. His personal friends throughout the downtown section were numbered by the hundreds,
 The record Of the officer through out his long career with the city was envia able: to this was superim- posed a sunny disposition but rigor- ous ideas as 10 the enforcement Of the law.
 A police official is a city servant who constantly comes into close contact with the public, and 1t IS important that such contact is of a kind commanding the respect of the community. Policeman English ~as of the sort that engendered birh respect for his personality his .bnity and his calling. He will be greatly missed in those sections os inc city which knew his tamlllar ,,.,d for more than 94 years.

This may be his opinion, but he is dead wrong, People In New Britain and ,Merlden cannot recall other needed roads of any greater importance. The Cat Hole road ought to be given pre- ferred treatment through whatever influence local citizens may have with the highway department, The road should be finished within a year,
 As for the less fortunate residents living near highways that will be improved later, their attention might well be directed to the fact that the system of ordering roads constructed and failing 10 provide sufficient money to see them through serves a double purpose; The egis- lature can appease popular demand for new roads and at the same time appease the demand for economy. To use current metaphor, two birds are killed with one stone, or the public is satisfied coming and go- ing"
 When, the public of the state more thoroughly realizes the farce to which 1t is being treated some- thing more in line with a puiinoss- like policy will be demanded. Either roads Of winch there is no likelihood of reasonable early construction will not be demanded. or there will be q demand for more appropria- tions to carry out the building pro- grams authorized. The probabilities are that the latter will receive the support of the majority of citizens.
 It is quite useless to get wrought up over new roads and insisting that they be ordered, If at the same time they will not be constructed for 20 years. If this is what the state calls practicing economy it is time to quit. Ordering new roads and then being so economical as not 10 con- struct them is merely throwing sop to the public. If roads are con- sidered worth building it should also be worth while to provide suf- hcient money to build all of them within a reasonable time.
 But as for the Cat Hole project - the kitty needs and will get pre- ferred treatment.

CHINESE FRUIT
 EXPERT DEAD Though He Saved Millions for Others, Gong Was Poor

North Adams, Mass. June 5 (AP)-Lu Gim Gong, Chinese citrus expert. adopted here as a boy by two spinsters, is dead in compara- tive poverty at DeLand. Fla, after saving the fruit industry millions of dollars.
 The originator of two of the best known varieties of grapefruit and oranges, he came here as a factory laborer at the age of 12.
 Over half century ago two sis ters by the name of Buringarne, who lived here, became interested in a Chinese boy working as a strike breaker. He was adopted by them and through their teachings became a convert to the Baptist faith.
 The largest shoe factory if the town was closed because of labor troubles and Sampson. the owner, had brought hundreds of Chinese to work, earning for himself the name of Chinese" Sampson. One of these was Gim Gong.
 
 When the Burlingame sisters died Gim Gong inherited a Florida orange grove that they had owned He went to Florida and began experi- ments that won for him a gold medal from the United States for his work with oranges. Deeply re- ligious, he worked in comparative seelusion and was wont to take vis- itors to his chapel for prayer after hs had shown them his groves.
 After effectipg perfections of citrus fruit. that made others wealthy. Gim Gong died poor man. The last\few years it was necessary for friends to pay of a mortgage on his groves that he might continue his experiments.
 He Is credited with perfecting the perfumed grapefruit, the cherry currant, the early sweet apple of Massachusetts, peach which grows under glass and an orange tree on which fruit remains long after maturity.

AGAIN THE QUESTION OF MORE pnTJCE

The police board was to receive complaint through the Common Council that better police protec- ton in the fifth ward, especially at might Is desirable. It was brought out in the last meeting of the Coun- ell that q man recently died in the ward as q result Of a light and that he left family of five children. The inference was that the fight might have been prevented had there been better police protection.
 The New Britain police depart ment has needed additional officers for a long time, in the estimation et persons connected with the po- lice department, as well as some of those who are not connected with the department. The department has total of only 65 policemen Of which 6s are engaged in outside work, Chief Hart. 1t will be remembered, asked for l5 additional men this year and the request was refused; last year he asked for 10 additional men with a like result. Next year he might be compelled to ask for 20 additional men, which would be in the line of duty; yet if there are no additional men added to the force there will be no improvement,
 The oity is admittedly growing; 1t is the custom to be quite satis- hed with the swift progress But in connection with the police depart ment it has not been growing. A city of 7o,0oo needs more police men than a city of 50,00O. To with hold an increase in the force of bluecoats in the interest of economy is a species of false economy which citizens in the long run will fail to appreciate.
 The fault lies in the finance board, which has not provided a large enough appropriation to em- pioy more policemen. It Is time the board ceased studying this species of economy.

ID SEARCH ARCTIC
 FOR LOST EXPLORER
Two Weeks Of Grace AmundSen
 Allowed Have Expired

New York, June s. tAP)-The two weeks of grace, which Roald Amundsen allowed before search should begin for him and his polar expedition, are over and prepara- tions for patroling the edge of the Arctic ice pack are rapidly being brought 10 completion.
 The Norwegian explorer directed that a sharp lookout should be es- tabltshed along the ice. edge if he and his five comrads, who left Spitzhergen for the North Pole in two airplanes on May q, did not return within a fortnight. He also left sealed instructions to be opened at that time, dispatches from Oslo. the Norwegian capital, say, but the nature of these instructions is not dlvulged.
 The Norwegian government is dis patching to the north steamer bearing two naval scout planes which will be unloaded at Kings Bay, Spitzbergen. and flown thence to Willman Bay, Danes Island, to join Amundsen's supporting crews on the steamers Farm and Hobby. A systematic lookout and search will be instituted immediately upon their arrival.
 Meanwhile talk Of search under American auspices is continuing. Commander Lansdowne of the U. s. naval dirigible Shenandoah has sub mitted to the navy department de- tailed plan for the operation of his craft in case 1t is used in a relief expedition.
 While details Of the plan were not given out. In the absence from Washington of Secretary Wilbur, 1t is understood to provide for the es- tablishment of a floating base at SpitEbergen, utilizing for this pur- pose the airship tender Patoka. This vessel is fitted with a mooring mast and proved its worth on the recent ten flight of the Los Angeles to Port Rico.
 The Shenandoah. according to the reported plan, would fly to Spitz- bergen, stopping for fuel at Pullman, England where there is a mooring mast. x
 The navy department reiterates that there have ben n6 appeals for American aid from the Norwegian government or any other official source.

ROAD CONSTRUCTION AND ECONOMY"

The system of voting the con- struction of new roads and then failing to provide the money un- fortunately prevails in Connecticut John A. Macdonald, state highway commissioner, emphasized the situa- ton effectively when he announced the Cat Hole road would cost sS0o,- 900 to construct, yet the Legisla- ture only appropriated slo,ooo for the extension of trunk line high ways in the state. Comic opera of 8 generation ago never provided : more humorous situation, which is only relieved by the composition there is sufficient highway money in the treasury for the purpose.
 Previous to the 1925 session the Legislature had provided for the construction of a large number of roads which to this day have not been constructed, These roads. Mir. Mcdonald is free to add, would keep the highway department busy for IS years. The 1925 Legislature added five additional years work to the total, so that at the present rate it will take the highway department 20 years to complete all the roads favorably voted, according to MT. MacDonalds estimate. If each legis- lative session meanwhile adds an average of five years work to the total it Is neat problem in mathe- matics to figure out how far behind the state would be in 50 years.
 In view of such a system can 1t be possible that the Legislature has been technically meeting the de- mand for more good roads, but practically making 1t unlikely that they will be constructed? If roads authorized to be improved are not really to be improved for a genera ton, it would seem that the Legis- lature could make the states auto ists feel good by ordering every road in the commonwealth im- proved; this would suit everybody. even the legislators from the small towns in the hill country, and as long as there was little or no money appropriated to construct the roads and the hands of the highway de- partment thus tied, there would need to be no worry as to the ulti- mate carrying out of the grand and expensive projects.
 Ridiculous as this may seem, 1t is what we are having today on a smaller scale. If the Cat Hole road is constructed after all the other roads ahead of it on the highway roster are completed it will take the highway department % years to reach it.. If the New Britain and Meriden manufacturing interests who want the road badly, and the commercial organizations and the public generally who want the road just as badly. can wait that long to get 1t, they can be regarded as per fectly satisfied with the present sys- tenn. Our guess, however, is that when they learn the true condition they will show a tendency to be impatient at such possible delay and will want an improvement in the states technique.
