The constitution of the United
 States, Article 1-Sec. S-Par. D, vested in the congress the power
 to coin and regulate money ana
 to fix the value thereof. This au-
 thority has been delegated, to pri-
 vate interests, which is not only unwise but unjust. It places power in the hands of private individuals who have no more right to exer- else this function of our govern
 ment than it would be to give
 other private individuals the right to command our army or navy or any other function of the govern ment. .
 This fact has been too little stressed by the majority of our
 economic experts. Money is a thing that effects the lives of every indi- svidual, every day in the year year in and year out-from the cradle to the grave. Therefore the first step toward a permanent so- slution to the problem, in order to arrive at a point from which real progress can be made, would be to j! striv private interests of the ! power that was vested in the con- I greW. This need not give our com
 munity banks throughout the country any cause for complaint. They will be afforded protection lunder the constitution as well as their depositors. Everybody today recognizes the need of banks and the part they play in our commer- ciai life, but the most effective control for the best interests of all the people and in which they would have, the maximum of con- < sfidence is embodied on this point. {, Accordingly the Waterbury Democrat has drawn up resolu- tion to congress in which our read CTS and the general public are in- vited to take part. Some of our ' local citizenry was contacted in a preliminary survey and many of

which local firemen ard SOtEnteer workers were powerless to check. Their efforts, however. saved the little Woodtic school, located but 6 few yards from the home. In the efforts to confine the fire to the, home Captain Charles Booth of Engine Company No. was hit by a piece of wood and Constab ble William Klitka was cut by flying glass. A boiler in the home ex- ploding, showered spectators with debris.
 The house, which was reduced to a mass of ruins. was erected in 179O, although additions and mod erns improvements had caused the original lines to disappear years ago. No one was at home when the fire broke out. An overheat- ed stove is believed to have been the cause. Neighbors discovered the house afire and called local fire headquarters. With the hope of finding water nearby, the out east company raced to the rescue. The nearest source of water, brook, was found too far away to permit line to be laid. The chemical company from headquarters was called and made the five-mile trip without a mishap. It was sum- moned at 9:16 o'clock and re- turned to service at 11:35 p. m.
 MT Bucari and his three cliil- dren returning from the motion pictures late in the evening found their home in flames. They. spent the night with neighbors. The loss Is partially covered by insurance.

 Communications were given a bit of encouragement by word ing on the market. The administra- tion was studying means of merg- ing the various units to eliminate Implications. Wall street reasoned that International Telephone would profit most through its subsidiary Postal Telegraph, while American Telephone would benefit least, since the latter now is a practical monopoly. All issues of the group and their bonds were bid up, most activity centering in International Telephone, Radio, and Postal Tele- graph preferred.
 Impetus for the rise in utilities was found in the weekly report of The Edison Electric Institute which showed output of electricity best since the week ended October 28. Mining shares were adversely affected by the retention of the gold price at $34.01 per ounce. Oils sagged. Motors had a period of strength, but later lost gains.

 Fog added greatly to the diff

 icy walks and thoroughfares and the fog obstructing the view oi pedestrians and drivers the going was decidedly hard.
 This morning trolley cars and
 busses were loaded to capacity Hundreds who would have walked
 ordinarily, used the cars and busses. During the night the Con- necticut Company had crews out sanding the hilly streets. As a re- suit the busses were able to main- tain their regular schedules this morning. Men were also kept busy
 keeping switches cleaned out so as to provide regular trolley service today. Under an agreement with the city street department the Connecticut Company sands the hilly streets, over which the busses pass, at night time and the city takes care of the job during day. light hours.
 Early today large crew of men went out from the city street department yards to clear and sand crosswalks. At the same time policemen were warned by Super intendent Joseph Mclean to see to it that property owners comply with the ordinance and sand the walks in front of their holdings.
