ROAD CONSTRUCTION
 MOMENTUM

Connecticut is not the only state i'll creased road construction this year. Indeed, so many of the common wealths are anticipating q period of highly accelerated road work that the total for 1928, according to the |. $. Department of Agriculture, slightly exceed the highest mark recorded in any preceding year." some states, of course, particularly in the ailing farm states of the west, will lind it inadvisable 10 eN- pend large sums for better roads at this time. Virtually all of the more populous eastern states. however, have instituted attractive programs, particularly in those states where heavy gasoline tax receipts make excessive road bond issues unncces- sary. That is the case in Connecticut. handing to know why more good roads arc not built will feel satisfac- ton in the figures given out by the government: they at least denote progress state highway departments have started their spring drive with 1 than the same time last year. And they might gain additional comfort from the fact that the funds avail able to all state highway depart = monts for construction and main- tcnapce of roads and bridges will cX- rccd s75o,ooo. 900. and that local revenues, eNpcndahIe by county and local authorities, will swell the high way total to upwards of S1,300,- 0o0. .oOo.
 This is mint of money Here is what the nation will get for il. 5000 miles of hard surfaced pave ments, 1o.00O miles Of less expensive surfaced roads, and 5000 miles oi other highways ranging from 'ade- quatcfy graded and drained" road 10 those depending upon their namt upon q good imagination.

rom Holyoke southward empty into the Connecticut, and the river at present is just able to flush these. If the flow Of water were lossened the sewage content would become too great and the river could not dispose of it."
 This puts a little different outlook upon the situation, and one is ln- clined to ask in all seriousness whether sewage disposal along the Connecticut river is ot more import ance than drinking water. It Is rather difficult to insa zine the |. s. Supreme Court agreeing that the Connecticut river exists for the dis posal of sewage, and that it's flow should not in the slightest be inter- fered with 50 that 1t can fulfill this function. We rather think the high court will come to the conclusion that the cities making such an ignoble use of noble stream should dispose of their sewage in another and more modern manner.
 If the Connecticut river must be maintained as q sewage disposal stream the future looks dark. The average flow of water in the river will remain stationary, as it has for hundreds of years, while the supply of sewage, as the cities increase in population. will grow greater. If the stream now. as MT. Holden says, can do little better than barely flush the refuse to the Sound, then the time IS soon here when the river as 1t is will be overtaxed. and the towns and cities along the river from Holyoke south will have 10 change their methods anyway.

The sun does not shine on better place to live in" Thus the up-and- coming town enters the list of thousand or so communities which make things go with a slogan. It meets with the approval of Governor Tru,nbun himself, whose residence and private airplane are well ap- preciated parts of the town. Even Mrs. Coolidge, who recently visited the town, must have been struck with the beauty of the slogan. So far as we ourselves are concerned, we congratulate the town on its ex- pressive slogan as evidence that the town is getting self-conscious and is beginning to realize it amounts to something in the world. This is good evidence of progress. Slogans in themselves may not bring the world to a towns doors, but the town without a slogan nowadays in- Nariably is numbered with those which lack ambition and don't care whether growth or stagnation is around the corner. Plainville has an eagle eye on growth, increase, pros perity; it appeals to the love for homes, hearthst ones and family, and wants the world to know there is plenty of room left in the valley for ! the multiplication of these attributes of superior living.
 One cannot investigate further without being struck with the gener- al air of advancement everywhere apparent. 4 little while ago there was a question whether certain grade crossings should not be eliminated- certainly worth while ambition. This matter has gone to the Public i Utilities Commission and a decision is expected sooner or lator-no mat- ter how late. Something will be done about lt, one can rest assured, as tEe up-and doing spirit in Plainville is in the saddle. There may be some disagreement about details. but nlti-
 lnately something will happen for
 the benefit of the town.
 Now another source of discussion
 has arrived, a plan to move the sol
 diers' monument 10 the town green, where a cannon from the World War
 is to be seen by all who pause for a
 oncc-oNor Then, according to the
 plan, it would be possible to mak
 some other use for the space no
 occupied by the monument, ar
 Naturally, if the monument is moN
 ed, the name of this square would
 need to pc changed; but leave il tt
 the Plalnvillcrs to find an appro-
 priate name. Ideas are moving SC
 swiftly in the town that there will bt no dearth of suggestions when tho
 time for action arrives.
 | One cannot feel otherwise thaI
 highly pleased at the recrudcscenc' of q high strung public spirit il plainvillc. Something important l always being discussed, which is
 good sign.

EAST-NESr FLIGHT ACCOMPLISHED

The east to west nonstop alrplane crossing of the Atlantic ocean finally has been accomplished. In spite o' the consistent and relentless head winds that brought death to seven earlier 'aviators, the Bremen got across" and it's gallant crew, to the universal satisfaction of a world on tiptoe. lives to tell the story of the experience and probably yield much valued information for the future guidance of aviation. Although the objective of the trip was not reached, to the aviators and their ship goes the credit of being the first to cross the ocean from Europe to this con- tinent-and that in itself is a vast accomplishment
 The worlds imagination nat urally IS fired at the successful effort. So many previous disasters had been registered in similar attempts that the world faced the undertaking ni the Bremen with misglvlngs and there was much regret that three brave men should be willing to gamble with death. But now that fate has dccreed a brighter ending the world is justified ill rejoicing at 'lhe advance made, and is filled with iov that the three dauntless adVcn- 1nrers arc saved to humanity.
 To Captain Herman ko"hl. chit' pilot, goes a world of credit for al able management Of bis ship, and tt James F'itzmaurice and Frlheei Ehrenfried Gunther von HuenefelC a generous share of inc glory This trio made aviation history.

THE WEAK POINT IN DIVERSION CASE

In discussing the objection Of Con necticut to the water diversion pro- rect of Massachusetts. Benedict M. Holden of Hartford perhaps unwi,- tingly placed his finger upon the weakness of the states case. The Hartford attorney was speaking Tn Plainville and in the home town of the governor made a most favorable impression against permitting Mas sachusetts to divert the waters Of the Swift and Ware rivers in order to in crease the water supply Of metro politan Boston. IL was when he came to the question of what harm Il would do to the Connecticut river that he was quoted as follows;
 Drinking water must be given preference over navigation . Connecticut opposition 10 the plan is not to the handicap which q small er flow of water would place upon river traffic. One danger which this state fears is:- that of sewaEe. The sewers Of all cities along the rihe
