 Therefore, Attorney Thoms ex- plained, the democrats will retail ate in the senate if the house com mittee representation Is "hogged" by the republicans.

FREIGHT HUMPS

Quick Classification of Cars Main Factor in
 New Haven Service
SYSTEM IS Ex NDED

Although q large ariounr of t'mc
 has been saved in the transporta-
 ton of freight on the New Haven
 Railroads system by improve ments in rolling stock, new loco
 motives and the like within sever-
 al years. the hump classification yards introduced by the New Hn-
 yen, although the first one at Cedar fIilj, North Haven, was built many years ago, are being credited to- day with saving thirty-fiye percent of the time which was formerly
 consumed in 4he classification of freight, one of the most difficult
 processes in transportation.
 [ At it's major terminals, tho New Haven has extended the hump sys- tenn so that the greater speed or classification is now possible in
 the handling of most of it's freight.
 Each hump is a masterpiece Of engineering design, so built that
 gravity replaces the switching en-
 zines once used in this operation.

 fcation yards. each car destined for

The entire system Is one of the means which enables the New Haven to furnish more rapid delivery of freight between all nia- for points on It's system and to cut delivery time immensely to south crn and iridwestern points.

SWAPPING PLAN
 AID TO NEEDY

 As a result. relief agencies are in good shape generally to face what is expected to be a hard winter" according to state or ficials.
 The swapping bureau' actually Is the state emergency food admin istration, which has moved more than 1000 tons of foodstuffs into relief channels during the last few months, report revealed.
 The plan has been particularly successful because the state has been able to obtain foodstuffs at salvage prices and move the products by means of donated trucks.
 By means of the system, the ad- ministra ration is able to take an oversupply of potatoes in one dis trict and trade it for fish or rice in another,
 While tho food administration has no funds of its own, it is be- lieved by officials of the State De- partment of Agriculture, in charge of the work, that the plan can be continued in operation throughout the winter for the benefit of un- employed and needy persons.

State Built 354
 Miles Of Highway
Total for Past Year l29 Miles More Than 1881
 Record

During the year of 1892. the Connecticut Highway Department constructed or reconstructed 354 niles of Trunkline, state aid and town aid road, approximately 129 miles more of highway improve ment than was accomplished in 1881, it was stated to-day by High way Commissioner John A. Mac d nald in an informal report on the calendar years operations.
 Although variety of circum- stances, including advancement of work as an unemployment relief measure in previous years, limited activities somewhat on the trunk line and state aid road systems, im- proWement accomplished under the To, Aid Act of 1891 with Its al- location of $3,0O0.000 from the highway departments income for local road wori- was continued at an even more rapid pace than last year., The length of Town Aid road improved during 1882 was 274 miles, an increase of 159 miles over the 1881 total Use of the $3,000,- 900 divided equally among the towns, for this work was one of the major reasons why operations on the primary and secondary net works had to be limited.
 Approximately eighty miles of trunkline and state aid highways were constructed or reconstructed during the year as against 11O miles in 1881. Forty-three miles were built on the former and thir- ty-seven miles on the latter.
 The types of surface of the road improved during the year were as follows: graded, 5.30 miles; loose gravel, 131.37; rolled gravel, 79.31; rolled gravel treated, 40.47: water bound macadam, 49.93; bituminous macadam 14.57; and reinforced concrete, 33.30.
 Outstanding in the highway his- tory of 1892 was the almost com- plete reorganization of the de- partment which was completed in July after Q full year of study fol- lowed by changes in organization and administrative practices, all designed for greater efficiency and economy. The reorganization was the first major moxe of its kind that had taken place in the depart ment since it's founding. thirty-flve years ago. During those years, the work of the department had grown to a sc ,pe which few other than executives and employees could re-

TELEPHONE POLE
 SUPPLY DOOMED
Chestnut Blight Will Ne cessitate Change in
 Kind of Timber
CREOSOTE TIMBER USED

Where do tho telephone poles come from that are used in Con- nccticut? For the most part they come from southern states in the Appalachian Mountain region, say engineers of The Southern New England T e 1 D h O nc Company. Moreover. the present source of supply Is apparently doomed and the company will soon have to go 10 other sources.
 There are about 300, 900 poles in the telephone company's system. The majority of those in use are chestnut poles. Chestnut poles can no longer be obtained locally be- cause of the blight which has de- ptroyed practically all chestnut timber in the eastern part of the country except in the Appalachian Mountain region OF North Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia and Ten- nessee. This is the present source oY supply but even this area Is doomed to the ravages of the chestnut blight ,nnd it estimated thatthe supply will not last beyond 1893. Because of this diminishing supply the company ia using an in- | y low pine poles from Georgia and ncighboripg states. .a
 The life of telephone pole Is considerably extended by treating 1t with creosote, as asby-product of the coke industry. Scientists of the Bell Telephone Laboratories are con- Ijnually experimenting with creo- soto poles.
 Tn the early days of the teie- phone. poles were cut from trees that were naturally durable and were resistant to the attacks of wood destroying fungi and insects. Hundreds of thousands of poles of cedar, chestnut. cypress. Douglas Gr. Juniper and redwood were used on lines all over the country with out prcservative treatment, and, according to the engineers. many

TREES PROTECT
 THE RESERVOIRS
Do Much to Divert Dirt Wash During Heavy
 Rains
BREAK RAIN FALL

Extraordinarily heavy downpours of rain. swept by high gales, sev- eral of which hit various sections of Connecticut during late Novem- Der and December, causing con- siderable amounts of damage, are among the many reasons why the water supply utilities plant the slopes Of their watersheds as thickly as possible with pine trees and shrubs. The trees furnish excellent shelter for the watersheds and thus prevent the water in the reservoirs from becoming filled with loosened earth.
 Primarily, the trees are placed on the watersheds because, when they become of size to permit har- vesting and are sold as lumber, they bring to the utilities q small return upon their investment in the watershed land, which because of sanitary reasons can be devoted to no use other than forestation. The shrubs, cultivated and sold as such, also bring the companies a financial return which would be impossible otherwise. Both the trees and shrubs serve at the same time, however, as Q protection of the pota bility and appearance of the water.
 Wore there no trees on the wa tersheds, driving rains, such as those which have prevailed this fall would loosen the earth on the drainage slopes. The rain water would rush down into the reser- voirs and their tributaries. carrying with 1t the free gravel. dead leaves and the like. The result would be a seriously dirty supply and prob ably . disagreeable taste. The trees prevent this sudden and rapid rush of water into the supply basins :. They break the fall of the rain and hclp to absorb 1t, so that the wa- ter is seeped into the reservoirs by means of underground rather than surface drainage and so that no sand ar dirt accom- panies 1t.
