NEW ENGLAND FORTS

If there is anything in the premise
that the closer a port is to Europe
the more hopeful the opportunity 10
engage in foreign trade. then the

N. H., to develop the port through
influencing raillines 10 ship overseas
goods through it is justified. Port
land, Me. has similar opportunity.
(. The announcement from the Cana
dian Pacific that it is not interested
in the effort being made to gain con-
troll of certain New England railroad
lines with view toward shipping
freight through Portsmouth need
scarcely have been made. If ncarnrss
to Europe amounts to anything in
shipping abroad. then Halifax. n. s..
has quite an advantage over either
Portsmouth or Portland; or any
other New England port.
The truth Is. however. that the
longer the rail haul TO the port the
greater the cost OF shipment, unless
the ocean ratts are not artificially
altered That is why the port Of Bos-
ton dislikes the dlfferential in ocean

RESPONSIBILITY FOR
SIDEWALKS

Compromise of a legal action be-
tween the city and citizen who
sued the city for damages following
fall upon a slippery sidewalk
again brings forward = situation that
IL not well understood because It
differs in various municipalities. And
it also illustrates why 1t 10 80 neces-
sary for the city to see that all sde-
walks are properly kept safe regard
less of the weather.
The citizen who fell and broke an
arm had cause for action
against the abutting property owner
and against the city. The city was
liable because It had failed to cause
the property owner to keep the side
walk In proper condition. The injur-
ed parties usually first sue the city.
and the city after it pays can get the
money out of the property owner
maybe. 1t is rather a complicated
business, with only one certainly
that the person who is injured on .
slippery walk has a 10 to chance
to get damages firm either the city
or the property owner.
On the whole the nature Of the law
i. just. 1t is disagreeablc 10 the city.
of course. to be faced with frequent
suits from such causes: but it should
be comparatively easy for the gov
ernment to see that all sidewalks
are kept safe. Such property owners
who fail TO cooperate in such an
endeayor can be forced to do so or
fined: and IL the job of looking after
sidewalks were always properly done
by the police there would be more
fines than the costs of suits.
New Britain herald., 1929-02-01
IMPROVING THE WATER

1t 10 comparatively easy to grow
dizzy in contemplating the costs Of
the improvements and expansions
found necessary by the board OF
water commissioners. But 1t should
be remembered that the water sys-
tenn not only pays its own operating
COSTS but provides its own sinking
fund from earnings; consequently no
appropriation by the city is neces-
sary. The idea is to have the board Of
finance and taxation approve the fl
nancial set-up Of the water. commits
sioners, as provided by charter. and
what bonds are necessary to improve
and expand the system will be issued
in the regular manner and provided
for through the action Of the board
itself.
A public utility such as this II un-
der constant scrutiny. Innumerable
cities are served by private water
companies, and none of them are
slow to make comparisons with q
municipal plant II the opportunity 10
one which tends to indicate that the
private plants are better managed.
1t would be difficult to find a private
plant. we are confident. which has
been SO well managed as the local
municipal plant. Not only are the
local rates low, the financial In.
come ample. and the public good will
excellent, but the outlook IL one OF
expansion in manner that seems
destined never to leave the city in
doubt about its water supply.
