THE CHANNEL TUNNEL

For so years there has been re-
current agitation In England and
France for a tunnel between the two
countries under the English channel.
Twice Parliament favored the pro-
ject and once work was actually
started. But the British military
strategists interviewed and in the
name of national defense and Sc
curity prevented construction of the
tube. Such tube. by the way.
would have proved Of enormous
value from 1914 on, even to the mill
tary strategists.
How a tunnel under the channel
can prove a disadvantage even in
war is beyond the understanding of
the ordinary individual No army
could pass through it if the nation
on the other side willed it not; each
entrance could be firmly blocked or
the entire structure flooded. At a
time when airpIanes and submarines
are used SO extensively the mere
presence of a comparatively small
tube under the channel could
scarcely be deciding element in a
war, II that is what the strategists
fear.
Premier Baldwin can hopefully

IMPROVING THE MARRIAGE
LAW

When the marriage license Law
was passed in 1927. making it obli-
satory that licenses shall not be is
sued until five days after the appli-
cations were made, no one thought
that the law would defeat its pur-
pose by making it possible for town
clerks to keep the applications
secret. The law did not specifically
declare for publicity. 50 that town
clerks when 10 inclined could claim
that they were not running contrary
to the law II they kept the names OF
those applying for licenses under
cover.
Judge Peck Of Bristol was the
author Of the 1927 marriage law.
and he had no intention in the
world OF making 1t possible to keep
marriage applications secret. 1t was
his intention, In fact. to do just the
reverse. and to give the community
five days in which to produce a valid
reason why a license should not be
granted. The intention also was to
prevent hurried marriages taking
place.
As the law now is even clipping
couples If they have time to do
their clipping at their leisure, can
not be detected II they happen to
apply to a town clerk who is willing
to keep the application secret.
The bill that has been presented in
the Legislature providing for pub
licity Of marriage applications should
pass without difficulty.

TOO LATE

A serious disadvantage about the
radio art is that! 1t keeps people up
too late at night; that is to say, the
average folks who cannot afford to
lose sleep. The tendency of the chain
broadcasters being to reserve their
finest programs until late, or after
the commercial features have pre-
empted the best hours of the eve
ming, the public-especially in the
East-is not likely to rejoice. Last
night. for instance, there was an
extra special program and it lasted
from II p. m. to midnight.
The night before there were a few
others on various chains which took
up the late evening hours, probably
in an effort to accommodate those
who after returning from the theater
desired to remain up half the night
listening to music. II the radio
broadcasters want to show how good
they can get let them put on some
Of these great special programs-not
supported by commercial 1:30 or
8 p. m. But nobody need expect that
to happen. The II p. m. programs
will remain 80 per cent thrown away.

ANNUAL CITY AUDTTS

II there is any logic in the method
by which the books Of business firms
are audited by outside accountants
at least once a year then there IL a
plenitude of logic that the same
method be adopted in connection
with the city's accountA In this day
when the claim 10 commonly made
that city governments should be
operated on business principles It II
ridiculous to neglect one Of the
prime essentials Of business pro-
cedure-the adoption Of q system
whereby at stated intervals those in
charge know just exactly how the
figures look-and not only on the
ledgers, but also in the departments
Of the city government.
Mayor Paonessa's wish for a full
time or part-time auditor seems
destined not to be realized: but It
seems extremely likely at this time
that the charter will be changed to
provide for an annual audit bf city
books by an outside firm. This at
least will be something gained and
will be one more step in putting the
city on a business basis.
