Salassi Charges
Are Dismissed

John Salassi, who was charged
with reckless driving when tried by
3 jury in police court yesterday, was
released and the charge dismissed
after the jury failed to agree. 1t
is understood the jurors were 9 to
3 for acquittal.
After the jury reported Chief Os-
walt asked that the case be dis
missed inasmuch as it was evident
a new trial would not be successful
due to the fact that Mrs. B. d. Bez-
deeheck, the complaining witness,
was scheduled to join her husband
at Tulsa, Okla.
Salassi was charged with having
contributed to the painful injuries
of Mrs Bezdecheck and her two
small children who were hurt when
the woman s car crashed into n
tree at the corner of Sixth and Holt
several weeks ago to avert a COLI
sion with Salassi s car.

4 GREAT HIGHWAY YEAR

All signs point to the possibility that 1850 will be the most notable year for the construction of new or improved highways in the history Of the country.
 President Hoover's appeal that all states expend their best efforts 10 assist in maintaining prosperity through the introduction of exten- sive public works has had its quickest repercussion in promises to push highway work. The Amerlcah Automobile Association, in posses sion of all available figures, e5ti- mates that the year will see more than s2.5oO.000,ooo expended in inn proved highways.
 Throughout the Nastncss Of thiS country there are belts of spIendld roads, but they for the most part arc between important towns. The sIdc roads usually are Of a poor calibcr. Everywhere, including in the East. these could be improved with profit to everyone. The new year will sec much work done along these lines: and some of it could be at tempted in Connecticut.

THE SMILING LIELTENA\T

Police Lieutenant Samuel Bam- forth, who leaves the active pol1ce force after 35 years of service, has been popular man. He has been easy to get along with, and like as not, when greeting voluntary and involuntary visitor, over the railing Tn police headquarters, he would do so with a smile. He had the makeup of a police official and a boniface all in one. He saw much of life's most unattractivc side, but this did not interfere in the slightest with the cultivation of the optimistic tem- perament. The world needs more men like the retiring lieutenant, and the police department-no police de- partment anywhere-can have too many of such sunny characters on the staff.
 The lieutenant was soft-spoken, eager to be of service. Almost any, one, curious to know how the new teletype machines at headquarters worked, could rest assured that a word indicating such curiosity would he rewarded with a dem onstration accompanied by copious eXplana- tions. When a motorist shuffled up to the railing with tag in his hand, the lieutenant was as courteous as a merchant selling a large bill of goods to & cash customer, with the differ ence that the lieutenants charges were usually only $. or two bucks, v as the hluccoats mention it.
 T;umor has it that the lieutenant, now that he has freedom of action for a change, win pay a visit 10 Florida to see what the climate is all about; or possibly will visit one or two other points Of rcnown in these United States. Wherever he goes he will take his perpetual smile with him. The city joins in wishing him luck.

CONSTRUCTING THE RAILROAD

The selectmen of dozen towns along the route of the roadbed of the Southern New England railroad, and the commercial interests of Providence R. l.. which have com bined to make another attempt to push the link between Palmer. Mass, and the Rhode Island metropolis to a conclusion, do not rely upon assistance upon the New Haven railroad. To the best of our knowledge, no one even suggested such an alternative. They know, ap- parently, that the New Haven is not interested in furthering the com- pletion of a competing road What they have done is to secure the fi- nancial backing of New York hank CTS, who in turn report they are willing to furnish the necessary s5.- 100000 to complete the road If the New York Central and the Canadian railroads running into New England will agree to cooperate with the line by yielding a reasonable share of freight.
 There is no logical reason why the New York Central should refuse to cooperate. Indeed cooperation should be easy. The line from Palm CT to Providence, which would pass through Monson, Brimfield, Fisk dale, Sturbridge. Dudley, Webster, Douglas, Uxbridge, Millville and Blackstone, Mass, thence south through Woonsocket to Providence. ought to prove a profitable feeder to the Boston &, Albany. One plant lane, the American Optical Com- pany at Southbridge, ships express packages totallins s60.000 year in charges and could use the line to great advantage. The link, if conl- ! plcted, would give the New York i Central a better opportunity tc i compete for business originating | from Providence and the important cities and towns between there and 1 Palmer.
 More than s7.000,O00 has beer
 sunk in the construction of the
 roadway of the line. To start some
 thing like this in New England anC then fail to finish it would be z i blemish to it's enterprise. Reg; piles:
 Of where the money comes from
 out of New England or from within it, the line should be completed.
