MANUFACTURER BELIEVES BUSINESS MEN IN CONTROL
Bridgeport Man Says They Now Have Some Control Over
 ''Business Cycles"

Bridgeport, Conn.,, Nov. 30.-lP)- Reelected president of the Bridge port Manufacturer Assn. for a third term at the annual meeting and dinner in the University club last night, George s. Hawley, president of the Bridgeport Gas Light com pany, declared his belief that manu- lecturers and business men can "ef- fectively control the business cycle so that untold blessings to the coun- try will result, and industrial peace and continuous employment be more than dream"
 Always faced with the fear of hard times in the past, claimed to be the result of economic and busi- ness cycles, business men have now some control of what were consid- cred uncomfortable economic forces" he said. According to the old cycles there should be depres- sion now, he said. whereas there continues to be a "goodly measure of prosperity" while he does not be- lieve that hard times can be elimin- ated entirely the power is the peo- ple's as a whole to prolong prosper ity materially, he asserted.

AN INSPECTION OF OLD BUILDINGS

The city Is to be visited, this winter probably, by an engineer who is to be hired for the building commissioners by the city and who will make an inspection of build ings which are suspected of being unsafe and order changes made in the construction of them, accord ing to a decision reached at the meeting of the building commission last evening.
 This plan to insure against acci- dents might well be adopted, all though in some instances it Is liable to prove expensive for realty owners. In case there are any ex- tensive changes made in construc- ton, it is certain there will be an additional expense.
 Most of us, however, wish to be sure that the homes we own, or the establishments we have are capable of standing up under ordi- nary usage. None of us will argue against the expense involved in making a structure safe for all who use it. Provided the engineer knows his business and we are satisfied to that effect, we shall fol- low out his orders and suggestions with good will and promptitude. If it appears as though he is not too well versed. or there Is not sufIl- cient confidence in him, the com mission is liable to find that it will have trouble in enforcing his edicts.
