DANGEROUS" MIR. BORAH

Senator Borah of Idaho is no man 10 fool with. Scarcely had Fred l. Kent, a director of the Bankers Trust Company of New York, uttered the observation that perhaps the stock crashes were in part due to the action of the Senate coalitionists in blocking tariff increases of moment, when Senator Borah had reply handy. This reply, cut to the bone, meant that perhaps 1t wouldn't be a bad idea for the Senate to investigate the stock exchange.
 An investigation of the stock ey- change would form plenty of excit- fed up on senatorial excitement. It might not be good thing, either for the stock exchange. Various senatorial practitioners have had an eye upon the Wall street machine for some time, and no less an authority on finance than Senator Glass has had in mind a plan to tax all sales Of stock not held for GO days. This plan would sadly dent the present highly developed method of marginal trading, and would hurt stock trad CTS who wade in and out of the market every other day or 50. AS one senator put it. the scheme would either make the government rich or stop most of the stock speculation altogether.
 Senator Heflin, also having an eye to windward but being primarily in- terested in cotton, has a resolution on tap to inquire into the "specu- lative activities Of the cotton e1- changes. Originally intending to have the Farm Board do the investigating, the Alabaman seems to have agreed 10 let the SeHdte nave llIS pl oSd- tive. A Senate investigation probably would be the worse of the two evils to the cotton exchanges. Mir. Hef- lin does not seem to have been very considerate.
 One worthy citizen, known to have been smitten by one of the stock crashes. remarked to this newspaper yesterday that he did not care how deeply the Senate investigated the stock exchange. That feeling will De widely prevalent among the mil lions" who didn't get rich quick, as had been anticipated

INsCRAMBLING THE EGGS

That was a rather pretty meeting the finance committee Of the Com mon Council had last night. The mayor, a former city engineer and sidewalk inspector were present with the committee, and efforts cen- tered upon unscrambling the side walk eggs incident to the billing Of g large number Of property owners with costs for sidewalks, some of which, to say the least, come under doubtful classifications. At @ hearing several weeks ago 21 property own CTS brought in evidence that only fraction of the work claimed by the city was ever done. The bills. too. long overdue, if ever due at all.
 The entire business is evidence that there has been a peculiar species of neglect shown in some Of the city departments during past years, This is but another instance in which bills were either not sent out promptly, or no effort made for reasonably prompt collection.
 But every year there has been a hue and cry against sundry ordinary citizens who failed to pay their s2 poll tax on time. Many of these, in fact. are threatened with arrest and the payment of court costs. On the poll tax bills, in fact, are words cal culated to throw the fear of dire pun ishment into the hearts of all Of those who do not pay the little sum promptly. But on other city bills well, that Is entirely another matter, and as a result meetings such as that Of last night are necessary.
 We trust the present city admins tration is not making similar mis- takes for later administrations to daily over. If the phrase, "a. busi- ness administration" means anything if means what it says, not merely something to mention during poli- tical campaign.

in this worthy enterprise for the benefit of business in general at 50 much per report. Sometimes they are right and sometimes they are wrong.
 One speaker Of prominence has declared that business conditions in New Britain are better than normal as compared with some other sec tions of the country, and even in comparison with other sections Of New England. Which reminds us that some time ago, after Mayor Paonessa returned from trip to New Jersey, he declared that the business community in New Britain had nothing to worry about in com parison with what he saw and heard while away.
 It usually is this way. Even coalition senators. who took pains to study the financial reports of New Britain industries during the recent lobby investigation, were inclined to congratulate New Britain industries.
 By and large, tLere is justifita- ton for this optimistic attitude. With the release of money for legitimate channels of trade instead of being sent to Wall Street for stock pur- poses, trade improvement is sure to result in time.

PASSIONATE LOVE LETTER


 (By a young man who takes the
 advice columns seriously
 Found by Alfred C. Ballon Dear Miss Monterey:
 Last night on leaving you at your doorstep l believe l told you that l must see you again. l feel now that l spoke in the heat of the moment and wish, if convent ent to you, to withdraw my phrase as it might conceivably entail con-. sequences that would be uppleas- ant to both of us.
 May I modify my expression, my" dear Miss Monterey, to the statement that it would af- ford me at least siytyfive (GJ) per cent of all possible pleasure if you would permit me to accom- pany you to the theater Wednes- day afternoon in the full light of day?
 I have secured two excellent seats, one in the fourth row center and the other in the second row, extreme right. My grandmother has also kindly promised to at tend the performance, so it would doubtless be entirely proper for us to meet during one of the in- termissions. when, l am assured, the aisles are quite thronged.
 I am dictating this letter to a public stenographer at a hotel for gentlemen only, and shall, for the best interests of us both, omit the signature. You will readily gather, I trust, that 1t is from the young man in the soft tan hat (which am taking the precaution of burning) who lives mot more than a thousand miles" from your home. I have asked the clerk here (who is leaving for Havana next week. to accept for me any telephone messages from you.
 Reasonably cordially yours,

sion between officials of the city and
 the railroad an agreement has been
 made for the apportionment of costs incident to the construction Of the new Black Rock bridge The rail- road has been induced to pay the neat sum of 5000 as it's share which is considerable of an increase over the railroads first offer. The city fares well, in fact, the railroad agreeing to pay approximately half of the structure and contributing s1,00O toward the cost of the new approaches made necessary. The ap- breaches in a sense are none of the railroads business, so that Mayor Paonessa and City Engineer Philip A. Merriam squeezed quite a neat ar engagement out of the railroad com- pany. which in turn is to be con- graduated upon having adopted a liberal policy in it's endcavor to in- sure a stronger span at the spot, one not likely to lead to disaster should two heavy trucks happen to pass over it at the same time.
 The Board Of Finance and Taxa ton will finally review the agree ment this week and take such action as the circumstances warrant. There is every reason to believe that this board will readily see the good points apparent in the agreement. Scarcely citizen can be found who doesn't look upon the present decrepit structure with diSdain. The oppor- tunity to erect new bridge has been long sought, but during the long lean years when the New Haven lacked ready funds the case seemed hopeless. The railroad today is earn ing a neat return upon it's opera tions and the iron is hot for new bridge such as should have been in use and operation on West Main street years ago.
 Early action by the Common Council is also desirable. A con- structive achievement such as this, at a fair cost to the city, can scarcely be dodged hy the representatives of the city. Everything, in fact, points to an early start on this important public improvement.

THE MERCANTILE VIEW

We called attention in t.ese columns sometime ago 10 the self evident fact that whereas industrial interests hereabouts were not noted for their interest in bringing new industries to the city, the mercan- tile view here as elsewhere cannot help being that the more industries there are established in the city the more business there will be in the city for the merchants.
 One does not necessarily bla me the industrialists for their position. They have nothing to gain from more in- dustries, being primarily interested in keeping their own plants going, in other words, are attending to their own business. Merchants usually have considerable of an influence in chambers of commerce, however, and they look 10 this body for at- IEItpLS tO llitti'sL ONllfi LoINcl no tV stablish factories in cities.
 A luncheon speaker the other day had occasion 10 remark upon the fact that New Britain was one Of the few, if not the only, city he vas ever in which did not seek new industries as an established policy. He seemed to be surprised and Of the opinion that this city had considerable to offer such com panies which were seeking cities.
 The effort Of a merchant, there fore, to begin campaign independent of the Chamber Of Commerce or any other civic organization 10 interest concerns in coming here is at least symptomatic Of the mercantile att- tude. That isn't saying Of course, that the plan will succeed. It merely Illustrates the mercantile view that new industries should always be sssiduously sought.

USELESS WIRES

The present is no time to think of putting up new guy wires or any other kind of wires or poles on city park property. This is the object Of the telephone company with refer ence to the new park plot at the in- tersection of Lincoln street and Cor bin avenue. The telephone company, it appears, wants to place a guy wire in the park in order to brace tele- phone pole.
 The parks should not be given over to such uses. This park is a small one and any semblance Of wires or poles in or near it is ob- jectionable. The park commission has taken the matter under advise v ment. The answer to the telephone company should be to find some other way to achieve the desired end.
