SUBWAY EXTENSION . WORK ANTICIPATED
City Board Plans to Lay More
 Underground Conduts

It is the expectation Of the board of public works to extend the SUD- way system of New Britain this year with the S75,O00 available for this work.
 Already the city has six or seven miles of this construction which yields enough revenue to take care Of the bonds issued to build it as well IS the interest on the bonds and the expense of maintenance. The commissioners say that from a monetary standpoint subway work is q good investment as well as pre- { wing the absolute control of the streets for the city since no public utilities company can come in and rip up the paving at will in crder to get at its wires. By this system the streets in certain sections are kept free of overhead wires which are not only unsightly but also often troublesome in the case of a fire.
 New Britain has subways in 36 streets in the industrial and mer- cantile centers and the policy is to extend them as fast as possible. Sep aratc conduits are used for the nigh tension and low tension wires.
 The general plan is to keep the work slightly ahead of the con- 3truction of permanent pavement and so protect the latter from be- ing dug up.
 The rental received from the use of the supways from the public ut,l- tiles serves to maintain them so that not cent of money raised by taxa ton has to be used. The start on the system was made in 1909 and has steadily progressed with some being done each year. The work is expensive both as to labor and ma- terial
 Last year the rental price was o.l .l13733 cents a foot and this year is will be G.190202 because of .ne bonds 10 be retired and increased nterest~payment. But even at th asa hgures the utilities hiring space in the subWays it is said, reckon it is less than It would cost them to maintain overhead wires when ,he likelihood of trouble from ice and storms is added to the maintenance cost
 As last year practically no new work was done the plan of eXten- sloE Is felt to be behind its scheC ulo. With no new work under way a small skeleton force with d super intendcnt IS kept 10 maintain the system.
 Members of the board of public works believe that new work can se done better by the board than it could by private contractors. In sahara desert Of northern Africa is the largest arid region in

 Deputy Chief Souncy and Inspec- tor Rutherford showed a map on which were drawn tentative lines showing a possible extension of the limits of the fire district and it was decided to have the two officials prepare recommendations for action at q meeting January Fist. It IS planned to hold a public hearing on the matter before rccommendinS anything 10 the council

De Rivera Explains Reasons For His Decision to Resign Dictatorship of
 Spain After Six Years as Leader

be eternal, and if I succeed in form ing a government of order that will not jeopardi@e it's magnificent work, 1 will resign the power which the king and dictatorship have confer rcd on me and l will rest d long time, as my health demands. If confronted by other horizons, contingencies or possibilities, l will fulfill my duty 10 Spain."
 Two of the main difficulties uaicr the old regime overtllrown in 1923 were first, a costly war in Moroc 70 against the Moors who had rebcllcd against implantation Of q Spanish protectorate; secondly, social disor. dcrs in many parts of Spain, reach ing climax in the Barcelona region where workers were assassinatc q banks raided and bombs thrown by anarchists almost daily.
 Prime dc Rivera, captain genera. of the Barcelona region, surveying this situation, decided to take mat tcrs into his own hands. He issued q announcement Sept. IS, 1923. equivalent to the proclamation of a military dictatorship. Two days later the king, who always has declared he knew nothing of De Rivera's S plans, swore him in as president of military directory.
 Quickly Stopped Troubles
 De Rlvera'S iron hand quic'>l, stopped the domestic troubles, but it was not until two years later that the Morocco campaign succeeded and the Riff leader. Abd Fl Krim, was defeated, with the aid of the French.
 Returning from Morocco Dc Ri- vera strove for the political regen- cratlon of the country In Decem- Ter, 1925, so slowly did this pro- gram proceed, King Alfonso agreed to change the military dictatorship to 8 civil one.
 Affairs turned somewhat 10 the worse, however, and the dictator learned he could no longer count on the support Of a certain section ot .he army. Acting quickly however, in characteristic fashion, De Rivera always was able to upset counter plots. Likely he would have been ovcrthrOWn had his enemies not wasted time preparing and had they been in more complete accord

 The acquittal of Sanchez Guerra hy a court-martial, despite the fac ne had admitted himself guilty Of framing d revolt against the 90 = ernmcnt was d direct hint that Dc Rivera should go. Yet after lengthy cabinet meetings and sever al talks with King Alfonso, the die tator announced a few days ago he would continue in power another | half year. Or until next June.

 Madrid, Jan. s (UP)-After hold ing the reins of government as die tator of Spain for six years and four months, Premier Primo De "ivera is faced with a political crisis which it is believed presages the carly de- cline of his regime and which may lead, among other things, 10 the ab- dication of King Alfonso.
 The premier, in a statecmnt today, discussed in some detail the method by which he hopes to end his die tatorship in Spain.
 Consider Two Chambers
 The national consultative assem- ply, he said, will discuss whether the country is to have a e-Chamber or two-chamber system, as in the past. TLo premier, following these discus sions, plans to take his subsequent program to King Alfonso for accept anCe or rejection.
 The statement by De Rivera fol- lows:
 Up to TOW I have submitted for the approval of the king merely q political plan for the six m .hs of life that remain to the national as sCmbly, which will convene January v, and discuss before the middle of June laws regarding pubi. order, tn press and public associations.
