 10 Elevate Tracks

10 Elevate Tracks
 New Britain Conn.
 Dec. U. I9&0 Editor New Britain Herald:--
 When, il ever is New Britain go- I0- 10 get up nerve 10 compel the Now Haven road 10 elevate its tracks through the cIty2 I am q compara- tive newcomer here, hut in my short term ot residence I have become thoroughly disCusted with the utter indifference Of the city to the nui- sancc of grade crossings, l wonder if people rcalizo just how lax thu city Is in this respect? Do tho pco- plc realize that New Britain is the largest city in the state that still has crossings at grade and that it therefore Is the next logical city to have the work done?
 Somehow I doubt that the people hcro ha}" sumption enough 10 go cut and fight for such an improve nent, for l have noticed no sign Of discussion Of the subject, much less evidence Of agitation strong enough u EFa . +'- u N n d 'N ii' I'4 i'4 r port. Hartford, New Haven and Waterbury all have either elevated CT underground tracks-but no one seems 10 even think of such q move for this city. The town is content 10 sit back and let things drift "uen anyone With any intelligence knows that the railroad certainly ViI not do the work of it's own ini- tia,ivc.
 ErantUally of course, the tracks will he cloyatol-so why not get go. ing when many residents need and deserve the work? Many mon could lt given employment in such q step. By the time the people here ect eo- ing. though. tho depression will be all oyer - and even then 1t probably ,uil take ta m years 10 got any where.
 am kccnIy interested in this pro- icct and sincerely hope that some enc will start something. l hope that at least l will get the reaction of somo oI the people Of the city 10 this letter Trusting l have not oc- cupicd too much Of your space, am,

 holders who went bankrupt merely sold their slaves to other masters; and except where families were parted, on the average this made no particular difference to the slaves
 The slaves had hard life; but. as stated, they did not need to worry about food or lodging during a de- pression.
 There are no slaves nowadays: everybody is free.
 The modern masters Of industry are not like the slaveholding masters of southern industry before the Civil War, They arc not compelled to bother about how those workers who cannot he employed during a depression obtain food and lodging
 They really have less responsibility in this respect than tho old slave holders.
 Freeing the slaves was great humanitarian development. II re- quired four years Of warfare. The war over. the former slaves were lett 10 shift for themselves, and thosy who remained where they were went to work, if they could find any. for wages, or rented land for farming.
