ELECTRIC SURVEY
 IN STATE SOUGHT
Data on Rural Conn Urged
 to Determine Number of Current Users

Hartford, Feb 28.-A complete survey of rural Connecticut with an aim to determine the number of potential users of electric current, if extensions can be made on & satisfactory basis, is now urged as a result of meeting called by Commissioner of Agriculture Ol- colt F. King.
 The former join committee rep- resenting the farm and power in- terests of Connecticut and mem bers of the staff of the Emergency Relief Commission and the State Planning Board went on record as favoring an extension of the rural electrical survey recently complet- ed in Holland county. It was felt by the group that such an excel lent piece of work had been &C., complished in Holland county that the same personnel should direct the more extensive survey covering the whole state is possible.
 Governor Wilbur l.. Cross viewed with interest the maps of Tolland county and expressed the hope that a statewide survey would be the means of extending rural elec- tric lines to the hundreds of farm homes that are now without this convenience. Commissioner King, in opening the meeting, pointed out the possibility of utilizing re- lief labor to some extent to com- plete Q statewide survey which would definitely indicate those homes that could expect to have electricity supplies at a reasonable cost.
 Miss Eleanor H. Little of the Emergency Relief Commission doubted if the survey could be- come statewide in scope immedi- ately because of the priority claim of other projects. It was urged, in view of this, that the survey be extended and completed just as rapidly as funds were made avail- able through Miss Little's office.
 Those attending included: Gov- ernor Wilbur l.. Cross; Commits sioner of Agriculture Olcott F. Kingy Louis c. Tolles, Conn. State Grande; Harold E. Pinches, agrt- cultural engineer, Conn. State Col lege; Colonel Edward L. Taylor and E. I. Rudd, public utilities commission; Ralph D. Cutler, Hartford Electric Light company; A. V. s. Lindsley, Conn. Light & Power company; Harry Goldberg of the regional office, Federal Emergency Relief Administration F. H. Little and F. Perry. Close, Federal Emergency Relief Com mission; J. R. Leslie, H. B. Clark and W. L. Slate, State Planning Board; A. D. Colvin, Conn. Power Company; E. E. Tucker, Holland County Farm Bureau agent; R. A. Sykes, chairman, Holland County rural electriflcation committee; F. L. Rimbach of Worcester, chair- man of the New England rural identification committee, and S. Mclean Buckingham, president, Farm Bureau Federation.

ually the small dealer will be forced out of business.
 The association also went on record as being absolutely "oppos- ed to the present set-up of the re- tail code and its discriminatory, negotiable and tyrannical provis- ions," and asked for its discontin- ance unless it is altered to remove certain obi ectionable features. Copies of the resolution were sent to the MIRA code authority and to Conpecticut representatives in Washington.
 Late Hours.
 The objectionable features, it was stated, include the Hoop hole" which allows small retail execu- tive merchants to keep the stores open late at night; writing of the code by a minority group of the syndicate, department and chain store type; and the fact that the present code is apparently admin istrative and has no judicial as- poets that might make 1t effective.
