OLD MAIN ST. BLOCK MAY BE DEMOLISHED
Considered Unsafe But Repair Bill Would
 Be High

A Main street building situated in the heart of the bussaess district is marked for condemnation with A list of necessary repairs that is ex- pected to run into figure which may result in the present building being razed.
 The structure was under suryeil- lance several years ago when the building commission, under the lead- ership of Israel Wexler. at that time chairman, insisted on thous- ands of dollars worth of improve ments in centrally located proper ties Some changes were made in this structure at the time, but the character of the building is such that no permanent repairs, unless begun from the very foundation. could be effected, builders say.
 Inspector A. N. Rutherford late this afternoon admitted corditit ns such as reported exist in a central ly located Main street building, but he refused to divulge the name Of the owners. The inspector has adopted a policy of withholding in formation of this nature, declaring it unfair to property owners to have their buildings proclaimed as in need of extensive repairs, except ing in cases where there is actually a hazard to persons using the prem iScs.
 The building under surveillance is one of the oldest on Main street. It contains two stores and living quar- ters.
 Consulting Engineer w. Vincent Barry of New Haven, was in the city yesterday to confer with Inspec- tor Rutherford concerning several buildings in course of construction and others which are being studied.
 This afternoon at o'clock, the building commission made its first tour of inspection. The buildings under surveillance and others now being constructed were examined.

Fundamentalist Believes Women Should Consult
 Pastors

Assen, Holland, Nov. 12 [P) - l. it sinful for a fundamcntalist hair. dresser to bob or shingle a wom. ans hair?
 This question recently was placed before the Rev. Dr. K. Fernhout president of the Dutch Reformed church synod which some time age expelled the Rev. Dr. J. c. Geel, kerlen of Amsterdam for casting doubt upon the story of Adam anG Eve and the serpent in the Garder of Eden.
 The applicant for spiritual ad. vice said he felt burdened in mind as to how. as true believer, he could cut off a woman's hair in the light of Pauls first epistle to the Corinthians, Chapter II, verse 15 to the effect that a woman's hair is her glory.
 The Rev. Dr. Fernhout. in a re. ligious journal, has replied to the extent of five columns. He leaves no one in doubt as to his convic. tion that womtn is mans inferior If woman cuts off her hair, tC assert her independence, or merely to follow a silly fashion. she un. doubtedly commits a sinful action says the fundamentalist pastor. Ht further asserts that long hair i: symbolical of the divinely pre-or, dained subjection of woman tc man.
 Certain exceptions, however, art allowed and it is suggested tha Christian women who want to ht bobbcd or shinged shall apply fol a permit to their pastor or chic elder. who will certify whether tho reasons for the proposed step art theologically admissible or not.

ATWOOD DISAGREES
 WITH JUDGE GAFFNEY
Believes Masons' Petition for Exemption Was
 Voted Down

Chairman William E. Atwood of the zoning board of adjustment to- day declared he is of the opinion that the request of the Masonic Temple corporation for a special exception on Russell street, was denied at its first hearing, the Corporations peti- ton failing to receive five concurring votes.
 Judge Bernard r. Gaffney. another member of the board. has come out with a statement that it is his opin- lon that the petition was not denied, creating a difference of interpreta- ton on what memt CTS of the board say is one of the most vital prin- ciples of board procedure. Judge Gaffney points to the fact that the request came before the board Of ad- justment before permit had been refused by the building department The ordinance provision mentioning five concurring votes refers to the situation necessary to overrule a city department. Tn this instance no city department Is to be overruled and therefore the majority vote prin- ciple rules, Judge Gaffney opines. The petition receil cd three favorable votes. with two contrary. With this state of facts. the judge believes the petition was granted.
 Judge Caffney's declaration was followed immediately by a statement Of Chairman Atwood that he be- licves the principle of the ordinance is one requiring five concurring votes to grant an exception. and there being a. to ? difference in the Masonic corporations case, the pe- tition Is denied.
 Chairman Atwood said today he will bring t'e matter before the board at its next meeting for adju- iication.
 Should the hoard rule that five concurring votes are necessary only when a city department is to be overruled, the procedure in obtain ing exceptions will probably be changed, since property owners will find 1t much easier to come directly to the board without applying for permit, since refusal by the inspector will necess,tate additional support from the board of adjustment mcm- bers.

AFFECTS NEW ENGLAND
Question of Public Interest is in Maintaining Efficiency of Routes to New England From Southwest of New York Harbor.

Washington. Nov. .12 R-The Reading railroads project for con- solidating with the Lehigh and New England system was tentatively ap- proved today in preliminary ex- aminers' report submitted to the in- terstate commerce commission.
 In spite of objections to the pro- posal by some of the trunk line railroads including the Pennsyl- vania, c. V. Burnside, the commits sion's assistant director of finance, who considered the evidence, ad- vised the commission to allow con- summation of the consolidation.
 New England Routes
 The big question of public inter est in the situation, in the examiners opinion, is in maintaining the ef- fciency of rail routes into New Eng 1 land from territory southwest of New York harbor are becoming of 1 increasing importance because of traffic congestion, he held, and the l line of the Lehigh and New England is consequently of great value to trunk line railroads generally. The Reading, In taking it over, should be required to allow the Lehigh's use by other roads.
 Sl,OGo,OOO Year Rental
 As to details of the proposal. the report said that the Readings con- tract to lease the Lehigh for 9o9 years at an annual cash rental of s1,O6o,000 is fair. The consolidation would be productive of economy in general railroad operation and In accordance with the spirit of federal legislation providing for railroad merging, it was held.

 "The route over the rail lines north of New York harbor are be- coming of increasing importance. At present there are two of these lines, the Lehigh & New England and the Lehigh 6s Hudson River. The pur- pose of the Reading in seeking the lease of the Lehigh & New England is to facilitate the movement Of freight from points on the Reading and it's connections to points on the Lehigh & New England, and beyond.
 Should the lease be approved, 1t is the announced purpose of the Reading to establish rates via the New England It is also proposed to make the new routes over the New England available to the Reading s connections.
 While establishing these new routes, the Reading declared it's in- tention to maintain every through rate and route in which the New England now participates. With this addition, the commission should find that the terms and conditions of the lease and the proposed considera- ton are just and reasonable and should approve and authorize the proposed acquisition"

AS l sat in the courtroom this morning I tried to listen to Bar bara Tough'a testimony. but my mind kept straying away to thoughts of how sorrow seems to pursue me. Wednesday. Uncle Fred Reinhardt, mothers brother, died. About the same time the husband of one of mothers sisters received news that his grandmother had died. I hear that both passed away just about the time one of the doctors in court here was demonstrating how my mothers throat had been cut. Isn't that strange and startling? My family didn't tell me about the deaths until today because they wanted me to have a good rest yesterday. Oh, why cant death stay it's hands until we have had time to recover just a little from the other troubles which weigh on our minds and hearts?
