Referendum on
 Transportation
National Chamber of Com merce Asks Information
 on Important Subject

Members of the local Chamber of Commerce have been asked by derectors of the national organiza- tion to participate in nationwide referendum on subjects of trans- portation. The following questions have been submitted for an ex- pression of opinion:
 l. A program for efficient and coordinated city passenger trans- portation taking into account the public benefits to be obtained per dollar expended by transportation companies or the public is vital to stability of property values and orderly development of urban com- munities.
 2. Investments in existing facili- ties should be utilized to the fullest extent compatible with the inher- ent advantages of each form of ser- vice.
 3. The solvency of all forms of local transportation requires coop eration, of business leaders public officials, and transportation man. agements for fostering responsible private operation under proper regulation. \ uOaAS dldlAOH ollouO encourage efficiency of transporta- tion agencies, provide proper CO., ordination among them, and pre- vent unfair competition. 5. Public regulation of all types in each metropolitan area should be centralized in a single body. 6. Development of differential rates for off-peak and short haul service should be encouraged. z. Taxicab rates in communi- ties where there is extensive de- mand for taxicab service. should be designated by regulatory author ity upon the basis of costs and reasonable profits, and charges should be determined by the taxi meter.
 8. Franchises should be of the indeterminate type and be flexible in their terms subject to regua- tory authority.
 g. There is urgent need for re- lief from oppressive special taxes. paving requirements, and other un- fair burdens.
 10. Where the public interest requires additions to transit facili- tiesr and the cost cannot be fi- nanced on the basis of prospective receipts from users, the public should participate in the expense, with assessment against property owners for any special benefits.
 II. Traffic regulation should give agencies of mass transporta- ton fair opportunity to function ef- ficiently in accordance with their capacity for service,

STATE EAVORS
 WATER PROJECT
Conn Backs St Lawrence Power and Naviga-
 ton Plan
OPPOSITION APPARENT

Among business organizations in New England, the state manu- lecturers associations of Massa- chusetts and Connecticut are the development of the St Lawrence leading supporters of the proposed river for power and navigation purposes, a treaty for which has recently been signed by the United States and Canada and will be sub- mitted to the United States senate for ratification next December. Port interests, on the other hand, in Maine, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts, tend to oppose the development ot the St Law renee as a seaway to the Great Lakes.
 These are the outstanding con- clusions drawn from an inquiry by the New England council, address ed to the industrial associations and leading chambers of commerce of the New England states, results of which were made public by the council to-day. The responses re- ceived by the council show that while industrial interests, especial ly in Massachusetts and Connecti- cut, gave the St Lawrence project intensive study, and approved favorable reports submitted by committees of their members, most other business organizations in southern New England have never given the matter particular study and have taken no position for or against.
 | In Boston, the Chamber of Com merce studied the project inten- sively, but has never taken a posi- ton. The Maritime Association of the Boston Chamber of Commerce submitted a report in opposition to the St Lawrence project. In New Hampshire, on the other hand while the manufacturers associa- ltion conducted no organized study opinion among industrialists is favorable to the project as a na- tional improvement certain to be effected ultimately. In Providence R. l., the transportation commit. tee of the Chamber of Commerce opposed the project in 1922.
 In recent issues of their officia publications both the Associated Industries of Massachusetts an6 the Manufacturers Association o1 Connecticut, Inc, have reaffirmed their position in favor of the St Lawrence improvement. The Con. necticut association, however, bott in it's magazine and in letters tC Connecticut senators and represen. tatives at Washington, has caution.
 ed against any part of the costs o1 the improvement for navigation purposes being charged against the power development work, thereby increasing the overhead charges on the sale of power. The Con. necticut manufacturers state that their chief interest is in the power features of the improvement, and that their attitude may change ii these are not so handled as tc make for the lowest possible costs to power consumers.
 H. I. Hartman, president of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States, and former presi. dent of the Boston Chamber o1 Commerce, is probably the leading individual advocate of the St Law. renee project in New England ant has recently urged that it have thu support of all interests in the New
 England states.

The Dover State Seminal
takes exception to the State
Highway Department build
ing side walks. 1t says:
"This building sidewalks to
help unemployment is all
bunk. Why should one man
have his sidewalk paid for by
the State and the man across
the street be compelled to pay
for his OWN" We do not
agree with our contemporary
on this point. Anything that
is for the good of the public is
good for the individual wheth-
er he gets the improvement in
front Of his own place OF not.
Up here between Smyrna and
Clayton, for instance, the
sidewalk between the two
towns is going to mean much.
It should have been done long
ago. Besides, at this time, it
is really helping the unem-
ployed Of each town. As far
as this is concerned, the
streets Of Dover and some
pavements too, have largely
been built by the State be
cause 90 the Capitol is in
that town. Tax payers from
all parts Of the county OF
State have had to bear their
share Of Dover improvements
while Smyrna and other towns
(outside of a little county
add have had to pay for build
ing their own. No one is find
ing fault with Dover for get
ting such favors, so why the
''bunk" about the State build
ing side walks?
