New Britain herald., 1927-07-30

of the state seems to be that here
the building boom reached its apex
early. while some OF the others
which Jagged behind are now catch
ing up to their needs.
Ten other cities in the state in ad-
dition to Bristol have shown an in
crease, however-Bridgep Dan
bury. Derby, Hartford, Merlden,
New London Norwalk, Norwich,
Stamford and West Hartford. These
cities have made it possible for Con-
necticut to be one OF the minority
states which has shown an increase
of building permits this year COM
pared with last. The total for the
state for the six months this year
s31,375459-is more than a million
dollars above the record for the
same months last year, which was
s3o,935, 500.
The figures are significant because
early this year it was not believed
likely that the boom totals of last
year would be surpassed. These ex-
pectations came true in New Britain
where there is still a plenitude Of
building under way, but the state as
a whole has done better than during
the boom year OF 1926.

AN UNFAIR REPORT
ON FIRE FIGHTING

The National Board OF Fire In
derwriters can scarcely be taken
seriously after the unfair report it
made regarding fighting condi
tons in this city. The business of
this insurance body is to maintain
its rates as high as it can, and one
way to achieve that object is to
make reports of the kind it has Just
made.
Granted that fret fighting condi-
tons in this city are not
100 per cent perfect, that
there is room for improvement:
but conditions cannot be as rotten as
this report makes out.
Chief Noble gave strong re-
joinder when he declared that the
representative of the fire insurance
trust sent to this city was peeved
when the business of kowtowing to
such an exalted parsonage was lack
ing: and that he frankly Omitted
citizens We're DESTROYS of lower rates
and it was his business to help see
that they did not get them. This is
the situation in a nutshell.

Is Years Ago Today

The contract for the erection of
the school on the House lot on Pros
pect street has been let to b. II.
Hibbard. This school will be built
by the state to prevent overcrowd-
ing OF the Model school. Contractor
Curtis has made rapid progress in
the demolition of the grammar
school. The west wall will be taken
down tomorrow. A Providence
builder said yesterday that there
was more building going on here
than in Providence, which is five
times as large. This is particularly
true of factory buildings.
The house on the F'armingt on
road belonging to Patrick Heslin
was destroyed by fire this forenoon
and all the furniture of Mr.. and
Mrs. Martin Welch went with it.
The building is SO far out from the
city that nobody even bothered to
send in an alarm.
The registrars say they will pay
no attention to the voting list being
compiled by Fred Goodrich for the
Economic league.
A. J. Sloper was elected a direc-
tor of the Sovereign Trading Co. at
the quarterly meeting yesterday.

1t was productive of much hilarity

Horace James, clerk for w. E.

Alderman Curtis and his special

have left the house of detention and
only four remain in the isolation
hospital.
There is no available location for
a post office on Main street, al
though there is talk of company
being formed to erect a structure on
the north side. Three Church street
sites have been selected, the Gid

Big League Pitchers

New York, July 3o.>tP1In every
year since 1922, big league baseball
has produced at least ono pitcher

son edges toward its close with no
such performance on Its records,
though more than half a. dozen men
who have hurled no-hit games still
labor In the majors.
In eleven years nine pitchers
have entered the hall of fame with
hitless performances. Bush for the
Athletics in 1916, johnson for
Washington In 1920, Robertson for
the White Sox and Jess Barnes for
the Giants in 1922, Ehmke for Bos-
ton and Jones for the Yankees in
1924, Haines for the Cardinals in
1924, Vance for Brooklyn in 1928
and Lyons for the White. Sox in
1925. This years best perform

L. s. BUILDING DECREASE;
THE FLORIDA COLLAPSE

Figures at hand giving the COM
parative totals Of building permits
issued in the important cities
throughout all the states lend them
selves TO rather piquant calcula-
tons, and especially noticeable is the
fact that the Florida building boom
collapsed with an even louder thud
than was heard at this distance.
The collapse in Florida was so
vast that its building permits during
the first six months during 1927 are
no higher than those for Connect
cut. 1t is only necessary to compare
the size of Florida with the Nutmeg
state to determine what that means.
In round numbers Florida's
building permits for the six months
this year totalled 100000. For
the same period last year they total
led Sill, 100000. Thus we have
decrease In that state alone of
$4,000, O00-which indicates thor
oughly that the boom has burst and
that normally has returned.
1t is worth noting that another
southern state-South Carolina-has
shown the largest percentage of
gain, and one of remarkable pro-
portions. The building permits this
year in that state total s1S,0O0,000,
whereas last year they were only
s3.0o0,ooo.
The grand total of building per
mits for the six months throughout
the entire nation-it being remem-
bcred that these refer to the cities
only-inlicate that building is not
having a slump by any means. The
main slump has been in Florida.
The grand total for this year is ST.
034696, $780, compared with So
245, 030, 070 for the same period last
year. The difference is s21o,333,121.
Where billions are involved this is
more Of trend" than a slump. 1t
was expected to be much worse.
If engineering projects are in
cluded-as was indicated in these
columns few weeks ago-the
slump entirely disappears. as the
total OF public works has greatly
increased

DEATHS
SHOW NO INCREASE
I Known Dead in Chicago
Disaster

Chicago, July 80 CP-A day spent
in searching for bodies failed to re-
veal any additional victims of Thurs
days lake tragedy and the death toll
today still stood at ~ as four differ
ent inquiries into the sinking of the
excursion boat Favorite were under
way.
Several passengers OF the Inflated
craft who had been reported missing
were accounted for today, having
been among the first to be rescued
and soon lost sight of in the con-
fusion which followed.
Coast guards who dragged the
lake near the place the boat found
cred and turned over said they be-
lieved there were no more bodies
and abandoned further search.
AT the same time, the coroner,
the states attorney. the police and
the United States steamboat inspec-
ton service were conducting in
quiries into the tragedy but they had
arrived at no definite evidences of
criminal liability for the disaster.
Captain Arthur Olson. skipper of
the Favorite, although held in tech
meal custody, was eXonerated of any
blame by William A. Hofnauer, mil
lionaire yachtsman whose craft stood
by and aided in the rescue OF most
OF the excursion boat passengers.
The sportsman told investigators
that Captain Olson had acted heroi-
cally, doing the utmost for the safe.
ty and rescue of his passengers.
He said the squall which hit the
boat. sending its passengers scurry-
ing to shelter on one side and caus-
ing the boat to list until 1t toppled
over and sank, came up so sudden
ly and was so terrific that there was
nothing that could have been done.
Government inspectors said the
boat had been seaworthy and was
equipped with enough life preservers
for IT'S people although at the time
OF the tragedy there we're only about
80 on board, mostly mothers with
their children on an outing.
Priest a Hero
A Catholic priest who was too
modest to reveal his name. was found
today to have been one Of the many
heroes in the disaster to the ill-fated
excursion boat, Favorite. when 1t
capsized in Lake Michigan.
The priest, a visitor in the city
for a few days. took two little girls,
daughters of friend for boat trip
and chose the Favorite. When the
squall came up. the priest fitted life
preservers on his charges and after
the boat sank succeeded in reaching
them and several other children and
bringing them to the side Of the ves-
sci where they chung until rescued.
Finally some of those rescued said.
ne had a half dozen little tots by his
side. all clinging to the Favorite
when the first relief boats came. The
priest, found at the home of one of
the children he saved. Acknowledged
he aided in the rescue work but de-
clined to give his name.

Travers' Amateur Golf
Record Will Stand

Minneapolis, Mimi, July so. Up
No matter who wins the national
amateur golf championship at the
Minikahda Club here starting Aug.
%, even though it be the honor
laden Bobby Jones, the record of
Jerome ID. Travers of New York,
will stand out supreme.
Travers won the championship
four times. Jones, if he succeeds
in unseating George Won Elm OF
Los Angeles. present amateur
champion. will equal the mark of
Walter j. Travis of New York,
thrice amateur champion.
In the thirty times the national
amateur has been played, the title
has gone most often to Chicago
players with II victories. New York
was a close second with nine title
holders Pittsburgh had the honor
twice, Boston and Atlanta
twice, Philadelphia and Los Angeles
once. while the 1911 cup went to
Harold Hilton of England.

Edward +. Hall of New Britain to
head the states new board of fl
nance and control is made evident
from the tax pamphlet Issued by the
state tax department. In this New
Britain is shown to have by far the
lowest per capita tax of any city in
the state.
Mr.. Hall, as chairman of the New
Britain board of finance and taxa
ton. has had strong influence in
bringing about this gratifying result.
When the governor looked about
for a tax expert his eyes naturally
of the senate appropriations COM
mittee had been instrumental in in
culcating sound ideas of finance in
the state as well as in his native city
1t is per capita tax that counts
most to- q citys inhabitants. New
Britain, with a per capita tax of only
sSS.5S, has by far the lowest rate
Of any Connecticut city or town,
standing ADD
With Waterbury's per capita tax
twice as HI III as that of New Britain
one is pardoned for asking what
Waterbury possesses for the money
expended that New Britain doesn't
enjoy. Perhaps it has gone TO a
high expense in providing improved
water facilities-hut New Britain is
we'll off in this respect,
The grand lists of the five largest
cities indicates New Britain has tho
lowest; its total OF taxes collected
the lowest; and its per capita Ia,
payment is the lowest. The rccOrl j.
one to be proud Of.
