Trolley Go. Manager
 Spikes Track Rumor
ThOmastOn Avenue Rails to Remain as Is Says Charles
 Chapman Utilities Hearing Interests VilIers
WATERVILLE

The announcement made yester- day by Charles H. Chapman, gen. eral manager of the Waterbury Di- vision of the Connecticut Company, that the company will relay the Thomaston avenue trolley line from Homer street to the plant of the Chase Metal Works, should defin- itely stop the announcement fre- quently made by other local news papers that the line was to be abandoned and bus service substi- tuted. As a matter of act there has never been any thought of doing away with the tracks between the above points or in Homer street since they are required by the Chase Companies for transporta- ton of materials and equipment between their North Main street and Waterville plants. The provision of these facilities was the principal reason for the construction of the connecting link between Cooke and Homer streets and the terminus o1 the North Main street line.
 It is probably true that bus serv- ice may be substituted for the troll ICy6 HIS thC iSoo pooy pOA ttoitT of the,day. The cars will certainly be used during the hours when em- ployes of the Chase Companies Scovill Manufacturing Company and other local concerns will be en route to or from, work.
 The re-laying of the tracks which may be only a single track arrange ment, will start as soon as the ground conditions permit now that the sewer construction between the points in question has been com pleted. This will be as necessary since the highway paving project in Thomaston avenue is scheduled to start within the next four weeks. and the tracks must have been laid at that time.
 Hearing on Bus Line Change
 Several interested Waterville res- idents are in Hartford to-day at tending the hearing of the Public Utilities Commission on the petition of the Connecticut Company tC change the route of the Water bury Fairmount bus line. It is pro- posed to route the bus over Willow Johnson, Waterville and Homer streets to Huntingdon avenue. It now operates over West Main street and Thomaston avenue. The major reason for requesting the change is the fact that Thomaston avenue will soon be unpassaLle because of the impending road copstruction work.
 The new route will serve the public to q much greater degree and may possibly result in being made the permanent run although It's operation may require the use

LINDBERCH AND COMMITTEE MAY
 HAVE CLASHES
Flyer Appears To-day to Discuss Legislation on
 Airnlail Contracts
By RONALD c. VAN TINE United Press Stan Correspondent

 Washington, March 16-(UP)- Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh is scheduled to carry his fight against the administrators air mail policy before q senate com mittee to-day in one of his rare public appearances.
 Lindbergh and Clarence Cham berlin, transatlantic flyer, accept ed an invitation by the senate post office committee to discuss pro- posed legislation to return mail contracts to private airline oper- ators. Captain Eddie Rickenback- CT, wartime ace, will testify to- morrow.
 The legislation is expected to pave the way for President Roose- velt's contemplated unified control of land aviation forces.
 Although Lindbergh readily agreed to express publicly his views on the proposed bill, he re- iterated his refusal to take part, directly or indirectly" in Secre- tary of War George H. Derns in- vestigation of army air operations. He Is opposed to the army flying the air mail.
 The flyer flew here late yesterday from New York. His arrival was unreported at local airports but he was located some hours after at the Shoreham hotel.
 The Capitol was alive with ex- citement at the possibility of Il sharp exchange between Lindbergh and the strong administration sup porters on the committee--Chair- man Kenneth D. Mcclellan and Senator James +. Byrnes, demo- crat, South Carolina.
 Although some democratic lead CTS opposed the air mail bill and believe 1t unavoidable, they have indicated unwillingness to permit the famous flyer to criticize the president without reply. The special senate air mail in- vestigating committee was resum- ing it's inquiry with Q promise by its chairman, Hugh l.. Black, of interesting developments. Aroused by republican attacks charging the president with re- sponsibility for recent deaths of army pilots. the senate democratic leadership began replies based on testimony before the Investigating committee showing alleged fraud in contract awards under Brown. Majority Leader Joe T. Robin son said MT Roosevelt had been given assurances by Maj Gen Ben jamin D. Foulois, army air corps chief, that army planes and pilots could carry mall successfully. He charged republican senators with playing politics" in their asser- tions that the president had wrecked the air industry.

tions 10 the south.
Yet the river between here and
Martinsville once was full of bass

those days again.
But the fight will be only half
won when the addition to sewage

still will be the problem of the
poisons from our factories.
For years their reply has been,
why should we stop pouring our
wastes into the river? The city
ruins the water with sewage any
how"
That has been a hard question to
answer. In fact, We have had no
adequate retort. But with clean
slate for the municipality, the old
evasion will not work and the boys
will have to play ball.
Let's see to it that we have a good
umpire.
