MANUFACTURING TIME"
 IN CONNECTICUT

Upon the unprecedented authority of the Springfield Republican, which undoubtedly got it's informa- tion from government sources, it is learned that Connecticut still leads any state in the nation in the man. ufacture of clocks and watches. The Springfield paper goes so far as to declare that Connecticut con- tinues to turn out many more time pieces than all the automobiles made in all the Michigan automo- bile factories, Henry Ford's monster plant included. Getting down to brass and springs and the figures appertaining thereto, we find that Connecticut manufactures S,663 wood case and miscellaneous clocks, 21,445 alarm clocks, and 2S,50O watches daily. Yes, daily, and not annually.
 Who buys this dcluge of clocks and watches is another question. Candidly, we pause in consterna- ton. Counting roughly 300 working days in a year. it is readily figured out that the annual production Of wood case and miscellaneous clocks totals 2,598,900; the annual Con- necticut alarm clock total Is 6,4S3,- 500; while the annual Connecticut total of watches is S,550,000. This ought to go a long way toward sup plying the nations demand for plenty of time.
 It might be said for the Connec- ticut timepiece industry that the automobiles have intensified the need for production, inasmuch as a large proportion of fancy cars pos sess Connecticut watches or clocks ' dS part OI lllt bulll-ill NiNAl iA'-i'' e All of which may be true-up to certain point. But so far as the timepiece itself is concerned, there still are three of these necessary appurtenances manufactured to every one automobile. Consequent i ly the automobile requirements cannot be an enormous help to the clock and watch industry.
 In Connecticut, where the time piece industry is so pronounced, the ] law against daylight saving time stands, so far as public clocks are concerned. But we would be willing to bet the half of five cent cigar to plugged penny that most of the timepieces made in Connecticut are placed forward one hour during the summer time, in Connecticut as elsewhere.

A CITY "BROKE"

One need not to go to Warren, Ohio, a city of 10000 people, for lessons in financial economy. Dis patches from that rapidly growing city indicate that by the end of the week 1t will lack a police depart ment, have only one fire station, and will have purchased two new tires for a fire truck by public sub scription. Policemen and firemen have had no pay for two months.
 Warren has grown from 10000 in 1910 to it's present populations; but 1t is evident the tax list has not grown in proportion. Perhaps the city needs a dictator"

To have the work done properly in the first place, by acknowledged competent workmen and firms, will be step worth while. It is regret table that so many of the contrac- tors who have been doing this work merited a rebuke from Mir. Curtin. If the rebuke was too severe they can prove it by attempting to quali- fy under the new rules. If they cannot do so then the claim of tE4 electrical inspector must be as- cepted as eminently justified.

TOO MANY STREETS
 OF SAME NAME

If no doubt astonished many to learn that there were so many streets or highways of various sorts within the city having the same name, or the same chief ap- ne,lation. Councilman Samuel Sa- blotsky of the sixth ward, discoV- bring the remarkable situation, IS in he commended for bringing 1t to the attention of the Common Coun- ell and appropriate action to un- tane,e the unnecessary duplication of street names can be expected.
 It is evident that streets, avenues nouIevards. terraces and courts have not been getting their names through any preconceived plan' III many communities the naming ol new thoroughfares is done in CO., operation with the post othce de- partment, as the postal workers are among the chief sufferers if street names are duplicated. It would De, well in the future to take the post office into the city's confidence when new street appellations are hatched
 There also is the important fac ,or of inc fire hazard. An excited nerson. for instance, calling up the fire department from Park street. may forget about being specific In the hurry to get away from the vicinity of the blaze. Hence he may merely say something to the effect ..Icire at No. - Park" and hang in the receiver. Meantime the fire taddies are expected to guess whether Park street, place, drive court, boulevard or terrace IS meant.
 Other streets are even worse oil. There are two Bond streets, ana two Florence streets, for instance' and one wonders whether the peo- pIe living on them always get thelr mail expeditiously. There is also Beech street and a Beach street. forcing letter writers to ".watch their alphabet." There is a Grove street and Grove Hill; Lake street and Lake boulevard: Highland street and Highland terrace; Cor bin place, Corbin court, and Cor bin avenue: Stanley court, Stanley street and Stanley place; and a dozen other streets, courts. avenues, etc, with the same name. Visitors ID the city, seeking residents along any of these various thoroughtares' must experience a lovely time when they ask an embattled native the location of one of them. Imagine asking policeman for the location of Lincoln court. He can tell in an instant where Lincoln street is to be found, but the court is differ ent thing altogether. And thus in hnitum.
 Maybe we will need a special commission to rename these streets, with public hearings and agitation over the prospect of losing some of the old names. Whichever way 1t IS lone, and regardless of the modus operandi. too many streets. courts boulevards. places. avenues, roads ct cetera, is an evil that should be eliminated.
