WILLIAM HARRIS
 AT NEW BRITAIN
Explained Plan of Unen- ployment Relief in Use
 in Waterbury
PRACTICAL SYSTEM

A proposal for, further cutting of general city expenditures includ- ing salaries, steps toward adoption of ap unemployment relief plan similar. to the one in this city and
 notice by Mayor Quigley that he intends from the chairmanship of the new emergency relief commit tee featured a meeting yesterday afternoon of this committee in New Britain. Leading industrialists. financiers. business men and city officials attended. f William M. Harris, chairman of the committee in charge of unem- ployment relief in this city attend ed the session upon invitation of the committee and described how the problem has been dealt with in Waterbury. There the city's vel fare department continues the work it carries on in normal times, but is free from all connection with unemployment relief. This is taken care of by the special committee and the fund for its work raised by contributions from all working
 or receiving. an income in the city. The scale of donating is 1 per cent Ton income up to $50 a week; 1 1-2 l per cent from $50 to $100 and 3 per cent on incomes more than $10O.
 The money is paid out in return for labor at the rate of $3 day, two days of work being given. In addition this earnnig. basket of food. worth $3 is given families.
 The committee has a food base from which to supply these baskets and the only assistance given by the city out of tax money Is in the form of $3,000 worth of food week. ly to this station.
 MT Harris said he indorsed sthe made work plan" strongly. favor ed the plan of buying food In wholesale lots for distribution to families in baskets thek provide a balanced diet.
 Mayor Quigley remarked the plan, even to the contents of bas- kets of food. closely paralleled that used here, except for the way that city had raised a large fund so that the work could be separated from tn ewelfare department and use of tax-raised money made almost unnecessary. More than $1,200.000
 has been raised for the fund since December. 1890, MT Harris said. and remarked that one manufac- turing concern, the Scovill com pany had given $125,000 of this amount. The amount donated by employees is mtached. dollar for dollar, by the firm employing them.
 A subcommittee of the emer- gency group was named to work with MT Harris in having a review of the method of Investigating ap- aplicants and listing them for as- sistance here made and in obtain ing from him any suggestions of a constructive nature for use in this city. The subcommittee consists of George T. Kimball. Arthur K. Kimball, James E. Cooper and John l.. Doyle.

Competition And
 Demand Fix Price

Owners of public utility corpora tiohs all over the country are de- voting much time to giving ex- plantations as to why rates have to be kept up if companies are to be in "a position to attract capital to meet. maintenance and expansion. Very likely this is true, so that probably all there Is to be said about such things is, that while all desire the service the price4is pro- hibitive to most people. Take elec- tricity for example. The ordinary wage earner cannot afford to use the service, but that does not mean that the price Is excessive. although there are those who take the ground that electricity or anything else people need Is bound to be out of reach of the masses, provided there Is no competition.
