ASHES AND AN INCINERATOR

The movement for a garbage in cinerator moves swiftly, with the prospect likely of an early consum- nation of this much-debated muni- cipal improvement. The only shrods of discussion left, it appears, is the cost; but more about that will be known when bids are received. Councilman Bartletts belief that an incinerator should cost no more than SS5,O00 sounds we'll; but while We are building one 1t may be worth while 10 construct as good a one as the city can afford.
 Alderman Judd has brought up the subject of municipal collection of ashes in connection with the in cinerator project, and seems to have swayed various other members to the belief that the subject need not De COllSlucItu Nlll lIlc lItlHti dtol project
 There is a vast difference between ashes and garbage, Of course; but both are equally q nuisance to the small householder. The present sys- tenn of collecting ashes seems to be unsatisfactory to many residents. giving them trouble and incon vcniencc. It is not that charges are made for such collections by private concerns and individuals, but that the calls for the collections are not regular enough to be satisfying.
 The city could very well consider a project for municipal collection Of ashes along with the incincrator plan. Both basicalIy are civic func- lions.

POST OFFICE ECONOMY

The federal post office is being operated on an economy basis 100 economical to suit the users Of air mail, il seems.
 Letters sent by air mail should have precedence in handling. That is logical for what good is fast travel through the air if on arriv- ing at the destination mail is per mitted to await the regular handling of mail matter. which sometimes is speedy and sometimes isn't--de- pending upon how much there is to handle.
 The L. s. Chamber of Commerce has been informed that the delay 10 air mail is most serious in the post office of New York. How to avoid this delay is quite easy to mphaSiz,-- merely let the post Of flee assign an extra crew 10 this work as soon as airmail arrives at the post office.
 That may mean the employment of some extra men, but the public is paying extra for the extra service and is entitled to grt it.

ZONING IN BERLIN

Adoption of a building code and zoning is not lost in Berlin. The town meeting merely voted down the proposition to adopt building code for the town as whole; the separate fire districts still have the privilege of taking action if they see fit.
 In the cities 1t is often lamented that 1t Is a pity zoning was not adopted when the communities were small. Berlin, although ripe with age, is still email, yet sees no ad- vantage In the plan at this time un- less the fire districts individually care to take action.
 There are no restriction upon building operations in Berlin at all: anyone can put up commercial building wherever he sees fit. Yet there are no outstanding problems incident to this go-as-you-please policy so far as the residence sec ton on the ridge is concerned, Whether there are problems in oth- CT sections of the town is perhaps a matter of opinion.
 On the whole it would be best for the fire districts to consider the matter carefully and take appropri- ate action. It may be too late after Berlin, in the years to come. enjoys a boom.

\ KOSCUSKO MONUMENT

Polish citizens of New Britain no doubt in large measure contribu- ted 10 the cost Of the monument 10 Thaddcus Kosciusko, which was unveiled in the Boston Public Gar dens last Sunday.
 The monument was erected in Boston because of its history as the cradle of that American liberty which kosciusko so yaliently help cd 10 establish. To the people of Polish extraction in America the erection of this monument Was q labor of love for the memory of q patriot whose aid during the peril ous days of the Revolution was so highly valued by George Washing ton. It was after his appointment as chief engineer in charge of the construction of West Point that he was appontcd u1Jutant to General Washington.
 The Boston monument is fitting tribute 10 this iiluStriouS patriot, whose scrN ices 10 the cause of the revolution and his belief in the ideals of democracy will never be forgotten.
