They were tearing down the old
house to make room for a more mod

linen begrimed and unsightiy, while
his shoes were cracked and warped

RULES RENTS

Building costs play a responsible
part In the discrimination Of rental

of r. r. II. Bacon. prominent
building engineering consultant.
In a discussion Of the growing
tendency on the part OF office and

of their proposed improvements,
this question was put to Mr.. Bacon:
"If the advance analyses insure
the completion OF building at the
lowest possible cost and also In

least possible figure consistent with
good service. will 1t mean lower
lrentals?"
He answered:
''Not necessarily. because rentals

LIGHT VOTES

Lack of interest in voting" has become almost a bromide in Con- necticut At the bottom of this lack of interest Is the fact that the po- litical situation is too one-sided. No one would be interested in a baseball game between the St. Louis Cardinals and a scrub team from the sand lots. That is what politi- cal contests in Connecticut amount to for the most part, except in iso- lated local instances, such as the Gabb contest against Dewey.
 In such states where the parties are evenly balanced and the issues are sharply drawn there is no lack of interest. Massachusetts and New York were two such states; and though they did not bring out the full vote - probably no election will do that - they appear to have lured a considerably higher aver age to the polls than in Connecti- cut. In New Britain only 59.75 per cent of the voters went to the polls.
