which are essential to the welfare of the people at large.
 ''If there exists in any town of the state any conspiracy between the police and prosecuting authori- ties by which motorists of any class or race, or registrants' of another state are discriminated against for the purpose of securing fines or fees, it must be broken up. The best method to accomilpsh this is by publicity. In reason. however. ir does not seem that the officials
 of any town or city would permit such situation. The motorists is valuable customer in the town. He makes purchases there and is de- sirable visitor from an economic standpoint.
 With a myriad of persons on the
 highways all of differing personali- ties and viewpoints, it is natural that there should be some fault-findins. If that fault-finding can be done in the same good natured and manner ly form to which the traffic police man is rtained, and not by way of vitriolic letters and denunciation of worthy officials, it will go great deal further"

MERCHANTS PROTEST TRAFFIC RESTRICTIONS
SUGGESTIONS FOR
 ARBOR DAY
Tomorrow Will Be Observ= ed By Planting Trees in
 All Parts of Country
WASHINGTON MEMORIALS

Arbor Day in Connecticut comes on May first this year, and it should mean more to our citizens than sim ply another special day., states R. M. Ross, Forester of the Connecticut Forest and. Park Association, of New Haven. MT Ross says that under the leadership of the American Tree Association, individuals and groups all over the country are planting trees this spring, in observance of the 2OOth anniversary of the birth of George Washington, which will be celebrated in 1882. The program calls for the planting of at least 10.- 000,000 memorial trees which will serve as living memorials to "The Father of Our Country" Dr Charles c. McCracken, president of Connec- ticut Agricultural College, Storrs, Conn, is chairman of the George Washington Bicentennial Tree Plant ing Committee for Connecticut.
 Civic organizations are urged to take the leadership in the proper observance of Arbor Day, by plant ing trees along highways, on school grounds and other public areas. Con- necticut will lose its attractive tree lined roadsides and villages unless We continue to plant trees as did our forefathers. The widening and strengthening of highways, new gas stations roadside stands and the like, make it imperative that we look to the future and plant trees now.
 Attention is called to the fact that the billboards along our roadsides may be destroyed in few weeks from the time public opinion orders their removal, but it takes decades to grow stately roadside trees. Trees planted now will help restore the beauty of our highways, when the public orders roadside billboard elimination.

Many complaints come to the Connecticut Department of Motor Vehicles alleging discourtesy and unfairness on the part of traffic po- licemen. Tt is no part of the de- partment's duties," said Commis- sioner Robbins B. Stoeckel in a safety bulletin read from WTIC to- day, Ito prescribe conduct rules for the police or to do more than at- tempt to make enforcement nni- form. The complaints and occas- ional publicity make it seem proper. however, to say a word in comment on police activities.
 "It is farily safe to conclude that large percentage of complaints a. gainst policement are not justified. The police, especially mortorcycle officers are consistently long-suffer- ing and kind. A tour of five states recently confirmed this, the courtesy of all officers being matter of comment.
 "A police officer, usually, is trained to smile first. Traffic criti- cism or admonition must be pre- sented in that manner which will make an impression upon the per- son for whom it is intended. Court esy gets just as far as surliness. OCCdSlOHSiIly d pOilCGHldH' eiiC oeiiAiS as any other human, after he has been badgered. worried and bother ed enough, gets hot and tired, and loses his temper momentarily. But as a rule the effort is towards courtesy.
 Recent complainants have tried to demonstrate that police in other states are discriminating against Connecticut motorists. In experl- ments conducted to see whether such discrimination exists, none has been found. The cynic may say that such experience goes with charm ed life, or that the investigator has that something which makes police men shy away and not bother him, but many years of experience and evidence brought forward by many friends convinces me that the police man is Justified in 99 per cent. of all cases. There are, of course. oc- casions when complaints are justi- fled, but it must be remembered that the policeman is trained for and must accomplish purposes

The directors of the three mutual savings banks of Waterbury have voted to reduce the rate of interest paid on deposits.
 The change will be effective at the Waterbury Savings Bank, May 1, 1881, and their next dividend. payable August 1, 1881, will be at the rate of 4 1-2 per cent. At the Dime Savings Bank, the change will be effective July 1. 1881, and their dividend payable October 1, 1881, will be at the rate of 4 1-2 per cent.

ALCANTE-RANTES
BOUT HEADLINER
FOR ANY PLACE.

When Al Alicante and Dick
Ramies get mixing it up in the
local boxing arena Friday night
fans are going to see Just about the
best welterweight battle ever staged
in Imperial Valley. in the opinion
of those who know the records Of
both boxers.
For that matter the fight IS one
that could be a main event in any
boxing club in the country, outside
of the larger metropolitan areas.
Neither Hollywood nor the Olympic
could sniff at it, for each man has
a large following in California box
ing and they would jam either
arena.
Alicante is something Of rarity
in Filipino bOXers-a last boy who
can hit. In fact his hitting is his
big asset, while most Filipino box
ers depend upon speed and skill to
carry them through.
Ramies is the IDOL Of the MeXi-
can fans with the passing Of Bert
Colima, and the San Diego battler
has a record for meeting any and
all corners, refusing to pick only
soft ones.
Both boxers viii be out TO win
for the victor here VIII undoubtedly
be offered another match with Cow
boy Charlie Cobb at San Diego.
Both want that match for Cobb has
decisions over each of them. al
though Alicante was given the nod
once and drew another time.
\ Anyone who can stick through
80 rounds Of fighting with Cobb is
some battler. The records show Al
cante did it and that should be SUI
ficient guarantee to valley fans, Il
any is needed.
The boys in the other bouts on
the card are certain to offer plenty
in the way Of excitement. Nino
Perez IS up against an unknown
quantity in Kid Exposito Perez is
fast, clever and q harG hitter and
his Filipino opponent will have 20
be good to get the nod.
Louis Reyes appears to be biting
off a big chunk in facing Car
Hagar, but previous bouts between
them prove that the Brawley boy IS
a stumbling block for the San Ber-
nardino blond who flattened Joe
DeLeon here last week.
Kid Mexico, veteran from
Brawley. and Piino Garcia Of Cal
exico, will stage an inter-city fight
in the opener that ought to put the
crowd in good huInor for the bal
ance Of the card.
