THE MYRTLE STREET
CELEBRATION

The civic concert and dance cele-
bration on Myrtle street tonight is
an indication that the city is taking
pride in the completion of the first
pavement laid by the city instead
OF through a contractor. Citizens
who contributed money sufficient TO
hire a band for the celebration ap-
parently are agreed that the inno-
walton has been success.
In the opinion of the chairman
OF the board OF works and city en-
gineer the Myrtle street paving job
Ia superior to that usually turned
out by contractors and cost the
city less money. 1t took the city
only Al days to complete the work.
The city continually has paving
Jobs on its hands. There is no rea-
son WHY IN the interest OF efficiency
and economy. it cannot duplicate
the Myrtle street job elsewhere.

AN EARLY COLD WAVE
AND FORECASTS

There were weather forecasters
amateur and professionalism
have been telling us that the COM
ing winter will be hard and long
The start of zero weather In the
middle west. before November had
a chance to glance at us from the
calendar tends to prove that there
NAV be reason In back Of the prog
nostications.
But the cold weather will not
worry the west from a coal stand
noint. Anthracite coal Is not great
" used there. States as close to lhe
PENNSYLVANIA hard coal fields as
Ohio have been using bituminons
coal for domestic uses for years
And Ohio is as close to the anthra-
cite fields as most of New England
The moral is that If the west can
use soft coal to keep warm during
zero weather New England ought
to be able TO do the same. 1t Is
ridiculous, however, that people
are forcel TO forego the use OF a
natural resource merely because
the hard coal moguls and their
workmen cannot come to terms
Nature deposited the coal in north
east Pennsylvania for use not 10

governmental ineptitude mixed with

CHANGE THIS PHASE
OF ZONING LAW

One OF the sections in the new
coming law does not permit incin-
orators TO be operated in the busi-
ness zone.
The result: refuse and discarded
paper is collecting in this zone to
an alarming extent. Instead Of
helping to prevent fires, the law
increases the hazard Of quick
spread of the flames in case there
Is one. ...-
This phase OF the coming law
should be changed promptly. lncin-
orators are safe and necessary.
Preventing their Use is going en-
tirely too far, is an unnecessary
hardship in the business district, and
attains no worthy object.
The quicker the law is changed
the better. So much waste paper
has been accommodating on some
premises that the fire hazard is be-
ing greatly increased.

NOW THEY WOULD FORCE
RAILROADS TO MERGE

Eighty thousand miles OF branch
line railroads are threatened with
extinction, according to Senator
Cummins OF Iowa, co-author Of the
Esch- Cummins transportation act;
and after a call at the White House
yesterday the senator announced
that legislation designed to make
railroad consultations compulsory
is likely at the coming session of
Congress. Compulsory consolida-
tons, he says. will enable the strong
lines to maintain the weaker roads.
The new outlook is an important
development in the transportation
field. The plan has been to defer
mandatory consultations for six
years, meantime permitting the
railroads TO arrange voluntary con-
solidations. Delay however, will
kill off the branch lines, according
to the former chairman Of the in
terstate commerce committee of
the Senate.
The senator evidently has
changed his mind - once again.
Originally he was a prime mover in
the plan for compulsory consolida-
tions. and In 1920, when he put
through the transportation act, the
Interstate Commerce Commission
was granted authority to plan a
general merger of railroads; but the
]. c. c. was not given authority 10
execute the plan. At about this
time the Iowa railroad expert
changed his position on The matter
and began to favor voluntary con-
solidations within certain period
and mpulsory consultations
later. President Coolidge accepted
this view. Now the senator, after a
visit to the White House, returns
TO his original position, Interest
naturally will be keen as to whether
the President likewise has turned
in favor OF compulsory consolida'
tons.
Tho truth about the railroad stu
alton is that the strong trunk line:
do not want to consolidate with the
weaker lines. Some of the trunl
lines are very prosperous, and tht
suggestion they link thcmselvc:
with less prosperous roads Is al
popular as poison on a banquet
table.
Sentiment in Congress is said Il
be that 1t is the duty Of the stronl
roads to absorb the weaker onei
and keep them in existence. Thu
railroad magnates don't think 50
Tho final upshot probably will b.
that Congress will pass a compul
sorry consolidation law and It vii
wend Its way to the Supreme court

NEW HAVEN AND WATERBURY
WOO CITY MANAGER

A new journalistic disciple in the
ranks OF newspapers in the state
(, ,oring the city manager. non
partisan system OF local govern
ment Is the New Haven Journal
Courier. The New Haven paper the
other day came ont nat-footed for
the system.
The upshot OF the agitation in
New Haven for a city manager sys-
tenn will be that city manager
charter for the city will be asked
Of the next General Assembly. A
similar charter will be asked for
Waterbury. it is declared.
Such a development in various
cities Of the state is to be expected
as local politics in some Of them
degenerate. Citizens nowadays want
cities 10 be run on business princi-
pies, not primarily according TO
political principles.
The consistent manner in which
the Common Council Of New Brit
ain votes upon important matters
along political lines helps to create
sentiment in this city for the city
manager form of government, This
sentiment has barely started, but 1t
may grow to as large proportions as
Is the case in New Haven or Wa
terbury II the local politicians don't
watch their steps.
