\ COMPARISON

The New York Central, which now owns 90 per cent of the capi- tai stock of the Michigan Central, one of it's affiliated roads, now wants to buy the remaining 10 per cent stock at s1,000 a share. The regular price was quoted re- gently at $S50 a share.
 The Michigan Central is q great railroad. Its equipment, roadbod and facilities are unexcolled. Its terminal in Detroit is one of the finest in the nation, and its tunnel under the Detroit river is the equal of the Pennsylvania tunnel under the Hudson. It has always been well managed and has been the pride of Michigan since the first spike was driven. It has splendid stations in every city it touches, large and small, and has always been at great pains to bcautify them with pretty driveways and an abundance of flowers, for years operating large greenhouses at Niles, Mich., for this purpose.
 We mention these things by way of comparison. We wish q railroad like the Michigan Central were operating through New Britain, then both the stations in this city and at Berlin would be worthy the name.

CHANGES IN WIRING
 AND FIRES

New Britain recently attained q place up near the front of cities of It's class having a minimum of Ares. Not satisfied with conditions as they are 1t appears that the fire underwriters have ordered 2,0oo changes in electric wiring In the city.
 It appears from the record of fires in this city that the record could scarcely be improved, ire spective of any Improved wiring that might be done. The city has reason 10 be proud of its f1re-pre- vention record, irrespective of what the insurance people think of the wiring. And in spite of our fine record there is no reduction in rates, but q threat 10 go higher.
 New ideas in improved wiring may have popped up within recent years, but this city, with its nota- bio fire prevention record, is poor place in which to get excited over wiring.
 The result of the inspection and the orders for changes must be considered in the nature of a criti- cism of electrical inspection meth ods up 10 the present. If so much wiring has been put in contrary to the national standards, why was 1t ever allowed to be put in that way?

A POLITICAL SNAG IN RADIO CONTROL

There must be regulation Of the radio broadcasting industry. but care must be exercised that such regulation Is not of a political na- ture, Backing for the White bill in Congress. which has already passed the House. Is slowing up in the Senate because of the claims being made the bill would yield a species Of political control of this impor- tant function In the administration.
 The Interstate Commerce com mittee was expected to reject the proposal of President Coolidge to permit control Of radio broadcast ing to remain in tho hands of Her bert Hoover. as proposed in the White bill. It was because of this that the Dill bill for an indepcnd- ent commission was passed instead. Senators fear the extensive hook up" Of the American Telephone and Telegraph company and are alarmed at the frequency with which Messrs. Coolidge and Hoover used thls 'hook up." It is not re- markabe under the circumstances that the administration favors control over such an extensive publicity vehicle. Attempts by the President 10 control the Shipping board, Tariff commission and Fed eral Trade commission can be borne in mind with profit.
 Any commission to regulate radio should be one nominated by the President and confirmed by the Senate, and should contain mem- bers identified with both parties - three Of the majority and two Of the minority, as the Dill and Borah bills stipulate.
 No administration -- neither tho present nor any future administra- ton -- should be permitted to con- trol radio board. Bureaucratic control Is bad enough, although oftentimes necessary; but political bureaucratic control is quite sub versive of American ideals of gov ernment.

PAVING WEST MAIN SHOULD BE PUSHED

One of the last conferences of
 moment between Frank l., Conlon. | until a few days ago chairman of
 the board of public works, and
 Mayor Weld had reference to the proposed repaylng Of West Main
 street. the chief street improve
 ment job on the list for this year.
 The fact that MT. Conlon has since
 severed his connection with the
 public works board should not in
 the least deter or delay the city
 from following the plan 10 make
 tho improvement,
 West Main street has become one Of the most heavily travelled thor oughfares in the city. The old wood blocks have sagGed greatly and much unfayorabe criticism has resulted by the army of motorists using the street. Mayor Weld favors an early repaying of tho street and realizes the need for haste. In truth, there scarcely can be too much speed exercised 10 suit the travelling public.
 According to the present plans, Superintendent Thomas Kearney of the board of works will oversee the work. Although at first 1t was planned to construct G pavement similar 10 that placed on Hartford avenue last year, the latest report is to the effect that 1t will be one with concrete base and an amie- site top.
 It is regrettable that the public works department has been allowed only s67,000 for permanent pave ment work this year, as there is no doubt much mora than the West Main street job that requires at- tention. The latter will cost in the of s40,0o0 alone, leaving only s27.000 for other work. The West Main street plan paving between Cedar and Russell streets and between Grove Hill and Liberty streets. The former grandiose scheme of widen Ing portions of the street by in ringing upon portions of the side walks, eliminating the distinctive rows of trees along some blocks, | happily seems 10 have been thrown into the discard. This scheme, which gained the approval of the board of public works only last | March, contemplated the widening between High and Cedar streets on the north side and South High and l the park entrance on the south side, and went to the board of compensation and assessment for appraisal of benefits and damages. Mayor Weld will do well to step in f necessary and stop such unneces- 'ory sacrilege of the thoroughfare.
 It seems nearly ridiculous that n Q city with tax income of s2,- 'OS,S55.6S that only $67,O00 is available for new permanent pay ng. Extensive work on South Main street, the main entrance from the outh, and on Hartford avenue and Worth street, the main entrance rom the north, likewise is neces- ary.

"THE KEEPER OF THE BEE"
 Hcard at the BinEyille GrOccry)

tflcdIu aL tHe blIBNilic bFoCcTy)
 By Roland Shanefeld
 Did l ever tell you about my pet bee?"
 Your what?"
 About Alonzo-my pet bee? He was the best pal that a man ever had-bless him. I want to cry every time I think of him. Yes, sir, that bee loved mo, and was never out of my sight. He used to sleep under my pillow, and l never needed an alarm clock, because he would crawl out and buzz in my ear at seven o'clock every morning. In the day" time he would ride around in my pocket, except at my meal time"
 Your meal time?"
 "Yes. when I'd go into q restau- rant I'd whistle, and he'd come out the little rascal! I'd order q piece of bread and butter and Alon- 70 would go to work on it. Talk about honey. No bee could make honey as delicious as Alonzo"
 What became of him?'
 "Ah. The flowers of summer de- parted. Came winter and hard times for poor Alonzo! The time came when he could make no more honey, and the chill blasts of De- ccmber numbed his brave spirit. I made q little pair of pants for him, but it was of no use. He would roll up into little ball in my pock- ct, and wouldn't come out. Then came the day Alonzo passed from this vale of tears-you know that w1en bee loses his stinger, he dies. Well, bandit tried 10 stick me up, and Alonzo rushed out, and T have to cry when I think of it-- stung him on the eye. He had given his little life for his friend,"
