Another Rooster Asks Why City
Can't Have Golf Course.
New Britain. Conn,
L.,

Editor
New Britain Herald
Yes. Why Is it that New Britain
cannot have municipal golf
course
Eventually New Britain will have
a course. Of that ] am certain, but
Why not now in this Cooling Age ?'
The longer the city puts off build
ing the course. the higher will be
the cost OF construction. You have
only TO refer back to the Hig n
school addition to see what the de-
lay of Just a few months cost the
city.
A first class course will not be Il
liability to the city, but an asset.
Judging from the number of New
Britain golfers who are seen in the
links in Hartford each year, in II
few years. New Britain need not
fear that the course will not be a
paying proposition.
Why should we. the general pub
lie of limited means. be deprived of
little pleasure in our OWN city
for which we are willing to pay?

MONEN'S WORKING HOURS

Again the Legislature showed
that it is not in sympathy with So
cjal welfare legislation when it
squelched the plan TO regulate the
working hours Of women more eff
fecuyely than at present,
II is said that 80 per cent of the
laws passed throughout all the
staes and in Congress concern prop
erty rights.
In Connecticut the ration during
late years has been around 90 per
t,rt.
1t is lucky that there are some
social laws on the books which for
some reason the Legislature lacks
the heart to rrscImd.

C-rtain age limit is due primarily TO
the cost of workmen's compensation

LIVESTOCK CONFAB
HERE YESTERDAY

A number of livestock men of
this county attended the confer
ence held at the County Extension
office yesterday afternoon for the
purpose of discussing the livestock
problems. The principles and
practices that have been used on
a great many farms throughout
the county were presented and the
methods that seemed 10 give the
best economical returns were
drafted into set of recommenda-
tions that will be presented to the
people of the county as a basis of
carrying on livestock production.
Considerable time was spent in
discussing the beef, dairy and hog
project work. 1t was the consen-
sus of opinion that more and bet
ter livestock should be grown In
the county as a source of reserve
so that during years of drought or
other hazards that the farmer
could market some livestock, and
IN that way be in position to
take care of their financial obli-
cations at the end of the season.
All present at the meeting felt
that the first requisite of live
stock production was the produc-
tion Of feed and forage crops as
thev were very essential in profi-
table livestock production.
