THE REMINGTON FIRE

The destruction of a newly con- structed dwelling house by fire in Newington a few days aeo lends re- newed attention to the difficulties experienced in the smaller town to provide water for fighting fires. The Newington blaze occurred outside the limits of the central fire zone and the fire department was forced to rely upon chemicals. This is a common story when fires occur in the farflung suburban districts that are a part of even our small towns. It has repeatedly happened in Plain- vile. It happens in any small town under similar conditions.
 Small towns cannot afford to pro- vide water mains for fire fighting purposes throughout their entire boundaries. Many Of them in Con- necticut are much larger in area than their population would lead one 10 believe. People living in the districts lacking mains are in the same position as farmers in the country. When a fire breaks out 1t is a matter of trusting to luck and chemicals.
 Most fires in private residences re- suit from overloaded furnaces. de- fective heating arrangements or improper wiring. The latter is very rare in these days of careful in- spection: heating arrangements us- ually are properly built; but from the hazards Of an overloaded fur mace there is no defense except not to permit it to become overloaded. And that is quite simple.

WiTERBURY AND BASEBALL

Waterbury has been somewhat
 upset over the prospect of losing its
 professional baseball team. which is . to be taken to Worcester, Mass. The
 Brass City had sufficient opportunity 10 retain the team, but as the only thing that talks in the long run Is
 patronage at the gate. and this has
 been below the needs Of maintaining
 the enterprise, the team cannot re-
 main 10 represent Waterbury in the
 Eastern league.
 II makes a city look important 10
 be numbered among those lined Sp
 on the roster of a baseball league. This is how Waterbury has regard
 cd it. too; its name on the Eastern league roster made the town look like a live, modern. progressive
 place. IL would force the imagination of any Waterburian 10 the breaking point to find what practical boost
 has been experienced: but all the
 same. it hates 10 lose the team, which was ono" q pcnnant winner in
 the league.
 For a manufaci urins city to sup port a league team is moro difficult
 than in the case Of q more coemo- poltln city. Factory workers may he enthusiastic followers of the game. but baseball is q daylight sport and too many Of them are at work when the games are being played. or the
 games take place at q time making i il inconytnieut for them 10 pay their

 more cosmopolitan population. T. I is the second city in size in MaSsa-
 chusetts and has had experiences in l baseball leagues before. which, how | ever. have not been Of such a na = I tnre as 10 discourage auoi her at 1 tempt this year.

LOSING \ RAILROAD BATTLE

L. r. Loree, president of the Della ware & Hudson railroad. may yet succeed in manipulating other lines as to provide him with sufficient mileage east and west 10 create fourth trunk line system north of the Ohio river; but his beginning. which entailed getting control of the Lehigh Valley. has been a failure.
 Against him were pitted not only the vested interests already pos sessing trunk lines in the affected territory, but also the banking house of J. P. Morgan X Co.,, which by preventing Loree obtaining control of the 5000 shares of Lehigh stock necessary shows the country that the Morgan interests are on the side of the railroad lines as they exist, and that no competition from another line Is wanted.
 The Loree dream, which entails the construction of certain expen- sive connecting links between the railroads he wishes to place in his new system. has been twice pune tured, the previous occasion being when the Interstate Commerce Con- mission turned fishy eyes upon the venture.
 Having had better success in the southwestern from his D. !S II. line-Loree probably will have to be content with his lot and not figure as new trunk line builder. or ar ranger. So far as can be judged. q new trunk line would aid nobody but the D. & II. and affiliated lines, if any as the public would not gain by increased competition so long as the l. c. c. fixes the same rates for all.
