 So Mr. Rardo. who once was con ,nected with the New Haven rail |thad. is working :on inc matter, in rterviewing Connecticut congressmen and doing everything possible to gain the interest of the big wigs in Washington.
 A news item the other day said that the government would be ask ed to construct few 5000 ton pa ssenser liners and offer some stiff competition to private ship interests. By this time MT Bardo has learned of the plan and he onght to em- phasize immediately that the proper port of departure for these ships should be New London.
 Ney London being in Connecticut it comes natural to wish the port all the luck in the world. or along the Sound. If the port were situat-' cd in Maine or Massachusetts or Rhode Island we might be more critical.

BEEIIN'S SATISFACTION NITIi FIRE PROTECTION

One result of the improved state highway between New Britain and Berlin has already made itself mani fest. Berlin officials are now more than pleased with the speed with hich the New Britain department can negotiate the distance. Innocent bystanders and such autoists who happen 10 be along the route when the New Britain fire department is called to q Berlin fire can Nouch for the fact that the new pavement serves q splendid purpose. The speedway makes possible one of the fastest fire runs in the state.
 The desire for homegrown fire department in Berlin evidently has gone glimmering in view of the i'm proved transit facilities between New Britain and that town. Paying only $50 an hour for the services of the New Britain department Is cheap; and when it is realized that only a small portion of the first hour is now devoted to transporta- ton the time for action in Berlin is around 55 minutes of the first hour. The department, happening to be efficient to the last detail, can handle almost anything going in Berlin during that time.
 How times do change! Just lit tie while back the pundists gave up much of their spare time in concoct- irg jokes about the "washboard pike" Now they cant work up many jokes about the Berlin boule- vard--it's too delightful to joke about.

Where the posi- tive wire touches the paper red mark will appear if current is flowing.

ALL DIAL PHONES IN NEW. LONDON

l It cost the Southern New England i Telephone company s500,0 900 to in-
 stall the all-dial telephone system in New London. That city now is the
 only one in Connecticut having q complete all-dial system. It is safe i to say it will not be the only one for long. The company has 'readjusted'
 it's rates wherever they were deem-
 ital necessary for the all-dial system tcan be obtained to better advantage
 now that the rates are what the company would term Satisfactory" 1 The telephone company says the all -dial syatem in New London was
 necessary to keep pace with the
 growing demands for telephones. Basically, it probably also had as its
 object the reduction of expenses of | operation. Once installed. the all-
 dial system naturally is cheaper | than the manual system. Instead of | increased operating expenses. such
 as the company claimed before the
 ratc-raise went into effect, the all- l dial system will result in savings. fiv,,p ff,Jx 1,-hA al Ni n Connecticut have the als-dial system the savings will be very consider able, while the increased rates in the long run will help 10 pay for the all- dia systems.
 The company announces that the cost Of installing the new system in New London cost $500, 900, including g. new building. Perhaps the new building would have been necessary anyhow, so that the entire outlay cannot be charged against the all dial system. If it took half q million
 dollars to install the new system in every city the new system might not
 be worth the outlay. The actual cost of installing the new system is known only 10 the company: but the
 public can rest assured that there would be no thought of such an i'm pToveIDent in operation lG.thcre were no savings in sight.
 The X. I. X T. and its associated companies are among the most far sighted financiers imaginable. As an example of how this financiering ability rune all down the lino. even Q the individual units in the South orn New England system. the story is told that before the recent rate raise went into effect in Stamford the Public Utilities Commission ain the Public Utilities Commission WAS asked whether it as ;l body would be opposed to inc raise. The r. |. C., Of course, believes in 8 reasonable return for ali public utilities; and New York court, it will be remembered. declared that the telephone industry is entitled 10 theT reasonable ruturn of eight per cout. Anyhow the rate raise went into effect in various citIee without q hitch. and inc ail-disI systems, no doubt will be the next cities.
