Shoots Announcement Re-
pudiated Later by White
House.
BIZ United Press

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, June 9-An an
nouncement by Senator Smoot, Utah
Republican, and an Administration
wheel-horse, that President Cool
idge had given definite assurance
that an extra session of Congress
would be called in October, was later
repudiated by the White House.
An official close to the President
said verbally that Shoots declara-
ton was not to be taken as an in
dication that the White House is
definitely committed to an extra
session.
Coolidge believes it is too early to
make a definite commitment. While
he looks with favor upon the plan
he does not intend to be pledged
now.
Shoots Statement
Shoots announcement was made
after he conferred with the Presi-
dent. 1t was preceded Tuesday by
inspired word at the White House
that the President was favorable to
bringing Congress back month or
six weeks early next fall, not so
much to consider flood relief legls-
lation as to permit running start
on the heavy schedule OF general
business.
The reputation by the White
House left Washington somewhat
puzzled. The general belief is that
the President intends to call Con-
gress back in october, but his
present attitude seems to be caution
rather than opposition.
Nevertheless House and Senate
leaders are preparing schedules IN
expectation that Congress will meet
in october instead Of December as
usual. Preparation Of tax reduc-
ton bill will begin in September be-
fore the House Ways and Means
Committee and the Senate Finance
Committee. Committees charged
with flood relief legislation also Will
meet.
First Legislation
The first legislation planned by
leaders is the second deficiency ap-
propriation bill which was lost dur
ing the Senate filibuster last
March. It carries funds for salaries
pensions, routine government oper-
ations and public buildings.
Tax legislation probably will come
next: then flood relief. In addition
there will be fights over farm re-
lief. the seating of Senators-elect
Ware Of Pennsylvania and Smith OF
Illinois, national defense legisla-
ton, aviation development and gov
ernment appropriations.

SUPERNUNlERARIES

It is astonishing to learn that un- til the present time supernumerary policemen had to furnish their own revolvers, handcuffs and similar equipment, in addition to furnishing their own uniforms. They still must furnish the uniforms. but the city from now on will furnish the other necessary equipment. For the city to furnish the uniforms also would not be unreasonable.
 It Is not surprising that super numerary policemen have been hard to obtain. Considering that each candidate has had to spend $50 or so in addition to paying the cost of a uniform. the job has not been worth the outlay. If the highest type of supernumerary officers are de- sired-men who know the names of the streets they are patrolling, and men possessing intelligence and tact the police commissioners must of- fer sufficient inducements to get that kind of talent.
 The city is entitled to the best type of supernumerary officers.

THE GOVERNORS OPINION

Governor Trumbull having an swered the letter of Mayor Weld to the effect he did not favor an investigation of state gasoline prices it appears that the oil companies have won a victory through the of flee of the state executive.
 We rather think Secretary Ben son of the Chamber of Commerce is correct in his view that the gov ernor was not asked to regulate the price of gasoline, but merely to have state investigation. Public opinion would have automatically regulated prices downward to a cer- tain extent if the investigation had showed profiteering-as it probably would have done
 Now, however, we are going to let the gasoline companies alone, so far as the state is concerned The governors attitude is hard 10 under stand in view of the fact that he says he personally believes the gaso- line companies should not charge more in this state than in neighbor- ing states. after the state tax is de- ducted: at the same time he refuses to lend a hand in getting at the bottom of the difficulty.
 The governor says he is opposed to price regulation by the state. A state executive can still be opposed to this in principle. yet be in favor of methods 10 regulate prices in the face of public emergency. It was done in the coal crisis of few years ago. and was common during the war days. It all depends, of course, whether one cares to consider the high price of gasoline in Connecti- cut in the nature of an emergency. Most autoists will agree that it is so nearly related to an emergency that it is difficult 10 find a differ ence.

ENTER: A NEW IDEA

The representative of sundry civic and luncheon clubs will hold an important monday meeting at the Burritt Monday, at which time Judge w. c. Hungerford, president Of what until now has been known as the Civic Music Association, will preside. The object will be to adopt a constitution and bylaws, and adopt a policy to guide the activi- ties of the association-which by the way in all probability will be given more comprehensive name later. as all kinds of public enter tainments in addition to musical of ferings are eventually to be incIud- ed in its activities.
 This organization has been form ing since last spring. when the rep resentatives of virtually all luncheon and civic clubs began meeting in an effort to bring about a cohesion of effort. The artists concerts of the New Britain Musical Club. the New Britain Choral Society, and the United Parents and Teachers asso- citations no doubt will receive the first consideration of the associa- tlon; and there are other attractions to consider, 1t is said as time goes by.
 It may be late in the year to get such an organization together for the most effective work this coming season, as contracts usually are signed in the spring. But with careful and painstaking effort no doubt much satisfactory achieve ment can be accomplished during the first year of the organization. The following years, after a suc- cessful first year. should be easier
 Such organizations. embracing the cultural activities of many af filiated clubs, have been a success in more than 100 cities. The wave has hit New Britain, and Judge Hungcrford and his aids will no doubt guide the new idea in an ef- fective and satisfactory manner.

Manager Hanna of the Opera House will open the season August 29 with Harry Miners Bohemian Extravaganza company. Labor Day he will put on Fred Irwin's Majes- tics.
 It was learned today that an at tempt was made to burglarize N. E. Mag's clothing store on the west side of Main street the other night, probably by the same gang that cleaned out Shaklian's store in the Crean block. The rear windows are protected by iron bars and couple of these were pulled out. It is pre- sumed the thieves were frightened away before they finished the job.
 Many from here will go to Hart ford tomorrow to see President Roosevelt.

PUBLIC WORKS

Just as the building commission was the nemesis of the Paonessa ad- ministration. so the board of pub lie works can become the weak sis ter in the Weld administration un- less the brakes are properly ap- piled. Fortunately, there is evidence that this is being done.
 The board of public works, since 1t has functioned under the present administration. has been consider ably in the public eye and ha. been subject to more criticism than should be the case In a smoothly running public department. Where there is so much smoke there must be some fire, will be the public at- tltude unless there is less smoke in future.
 The public works board has giv-
 
 of the Common Council that the lowest bidder be given the contracts In conduit construction. The public works board, be it said to its de- fense, had the advice of the city engineer to go by: but lowest bid happens to be just that and ade- quate bonds and city inspection of the work will appeal to most citi- zens as satisfactory protection. This contract has now been let as the Common Council stipulated and there Is nothing more to be said. The Suzio concern will have to per- form the work properly at its low price. and the city will be properly protected through the machinery of the law.
 The recent ruction over the con- templated paving of Corbin place did not leave a good impression in the minds of citizens, the public works board being generally cred ited with desiring to pave a thor oughfare for the benefit of contigu- ous property owners The claim that politics had been played in the city yards likewise made no happy repercussions in the public mind; and the matter of paving at South Main and Stanley streets, near the filling station of the boards chairman, is still under in- vestigation.
 Our advice is for the board of public works to watch it's step: and that the city watch the board of public works.

The New York petticoat manufac- turer who turned losing business into a highly profitable enterprise by turning to the manufacture of silk underwear was an enterprising opportunist. But the affidavit of the appraisers ot4 his estate wrote the epitaph, ''He literally worked him. self to death in building up his busi- ness" From this it is fair to assume that had the erstwhile petticoat manufacturer been less enterpris- ing and gone broke he would still be alive.

NEW RAVENS FINANCING

The management Of the New Haven railroad has sent us a com- plete synopsis oi the refinancing plan which has been adopted by the railroads stockholders, and if fig ures don't lie 1t is a pretty good plan. Perhaps it would take one of the fabled Philadelphia lawyers to digest the plan in detail, and as life is not as long as we would like 1t to be, we haven't weighed every statement adequately nor attempted to check up all the figures. But if fairly careful analysis is of any value, the scheme to rehabilitate the road a step further than the new management has done so far can be called fully satisfactory.
 The gist of the plan is to issue nearly $50,000,000 in cumulative z per cent preferred stock to retire part of the roads indebtedr ess to the government. If this were not done. then Secretary Mellon pur- posed to sell the roads obligations in the public marts. it was said; and that wouldn't be any help at all to the railroad. The government indebtedness calls for interest at 6 per cent. The road therefore, would issue cumulative preferred stock at per cent to pay off loan of 6 per cent. But there is a difference between the two percentages apart from the difference between the figures. The governments per cent must be paid; the preferred stock ' per cent will not be paid unless earned. The road expects to earn the per cent, but it must be earned before the money is paid. That, after all, is considerable of difference.
 The change in financing will have the important aspect of changing the issues of bonds comparable with stocks from ratio of to l, as at present, to 2 to 2; that is to say, there will be as many of the one as of the other. The best plan is to have the ratio to in favor of stocks. It is the heavy bonded in- debtedness that has been harming the prospects of many public car riers, as during bad years-and the New Haven has had hard sailing since 1913-the interest on the bonds has to be paid all the same, while the stockholders, in case of need, can go without dividends at least, that is what happens when the roads fail to earn them.
 During the last year of govern- ment control the New Haven had a deficit of more than s27,000,OO0; at the end of the last fiscal year it had net earnings of more than $S,- c0O,ooo. This indicates clearly that New England's greatest carrier is definitely on the upgrade: the rec ord makes for confidence in the fu- ture' and E. c. Buckland, vice president, has declared that he hopes the time is not far distant when there will be dividends on the common stock. Let all stockholders feel glad
