DAYS GONE BY
Happenings Here just 10 Years
Ago To-Day As Taken From
The Files Of The Citizen

In their extra session held last
evening the county commissioners,
acting upon the suggestion offer
ed in paragraph 2 of the recon-
mendations made by the county
engineers at the meeting Thurs
day night, decided to call for bids
for one small grader, and oil
patching machine and a dump
truck to be used in carrying on
maintenance work on the roads of
the county. 1t is the aim of the
commissioners and engineers TO
begin this maintenance work at
once, or as soon as deterioration Is
beginning to show and in this way
make the repairs before the in
juries to the road become too
much enlarged by constant traf-
fic.

Buy-Buy Baby Bonds
By ELIOT JONES
Professor of Transportation and Public Utilities,
Stanford UnirersifY

sistency In the government policies?
Certainly the people who buy baby
bonds have quite moderate incomes.
and the purchase Of bond means a
corresponding reduction in the vol
ume of their purchases Of goods
Are they not by their purchases OF
bonds retarding the flow of money
into trade. and thus prolonging the
depression?
Apart from the question whether
the government policies are incon-
sistent-and this need not disturb us
particularly. because we have be-
come used to that-should not the
purchase of these bonds be en-
couraged? Under ordinary circum-
stances the answer would most en-
phatically be in the affirmative. Those
who are able to make provision for
the future owe il to constituted So
ciety to do so. in order that they
may not eventually become burden
TO society. And the purchasers of
baby bonds can be certain that they
will eventually get their interest. for
il is inconceivable that the govern
ment even though it did break its
promise to redeem certain of Its paper
money in gold. will fail to redeem
the baby bonds at their maturity
Why. then. any hesitation at this time
about the purchase of the bonds?
The reason for hesitation is that
an era of imitation. with much higher
prices than those prevailing to-day. is
probably ahead of us and money
spent in the future will almost GER
tainly have less purchasing power
than il has to-day.
The government officials who are
advocating that persons OF mod
crate means. whose wants are quite
inadequateIy supplied as it is. post
pone their purchase of needed goods
to an uncertain future. are assuming
quite a responsibility. Bait of course
what they are interested in is get
ting the funds required to finance gov
eminent spending.

the unemployed; the criticism of
bankers for their failure to lend more
literally; and the constant endeavor
to raise wages. the theory being that
purchasing power in the hands of
laborefs will do more good than pur-
chasing power in the hands of en-
ployers, because the laborers will be
more likely to spend the money.
At the same time the. Treasury Is
actively pushing the sale of baby
bonds-bonds selling for as little as
Sl8.75. These bonds are made of low
denomination so as to bring them
within the means of persons OF mod
crate incomes. The bonds do not even
pay interest currently; the holder gets
his interest in the form of an accre-
ton of his principal. The purchaser
of bond for Sl8.75 will. if he holds
it for ten years. receive the sum of
SIS which works out at an annual in
terest rate of % per cent for the ten
year period. During the first eight
months after these bonds were placed
on sale more than two hundred mil
lion dollars worth were sold.

FILE MOTION ON JURY'S VERDICT
Counsel Seeks to Have Decision For Defendant
 Set Aside

Judge Frank P. McEvoy in superior court tomorrow will be asked to set aside a jury verdict given the de- fendants in the $20,00O suit of Wil- liam Boleslaw Taradine, minor, of Seymour, against William Pokrywka and the c. E. Smith Co. of New Ha- ven. After trial of the case, jury in superior court last week returned with a verdict in favor of the de- fendants.
 The motion to set aside the ver- dict will be argued by Attorney Wal ter Monagan, ST., of this city and Attorney Joseph Perelmutter, of Seymour, who represented the plain tiff in the suit.
 The boy claimed that he sustain cd a fractured pelvis and other se- we're injuries Aug. g, 1885, when crushed against the side of the cov- cred bridge in Seymour by truck driven by Pokrywka. He claimed that the driver had been in the ha- bit of giving rides to himself and other boys and that on the day of the accident. the driver slowed up when the boys signalled him to ask him for lift. AS he was on the side of the truck, the plaintiff charged, the driver went too close to the side of the bridge and crush- cd him against the wall.
 The defense claimed in the trial that the lad was trespassing at the time by walking where he was in- stead of using the portion of the bridge set aside for pedestrians.

Local Contractor Lose
 Out on City Hall Proposition

Torrington, March 26-The City Hall building committee at meet ing Tuesday afternoon voted to recommend that the contract for the erection of the building be awarded to Feli1 Buzzi and company of this city. Action on the recom- mendation is expected to be taken at the next meeting of the city council 50 that work on the struc- tur0 may be started immediately.
 The local firms base bid was 3224,988, but with adjustment of alternates, the actual cost is ex- pected to be under $210,000. Other bids submitted, particularly that of T. ?. Moran & Sons of Waterbury, were ignored because the terms on which they submitted did not comply with all the specifications. The Waterbury firm submitted the lowest base bid of $214,000.
 The committees action in recom- mending that the contract be given to the Torrington firm undoubtedly met with general approval of the public, The Buz1 firm has erected R number of buildings here, includ- ing the Sacred Heat church and school.

Railroads Least Crippled During
Cold Weather

Railroads are being relied upon to
handle the biggest volume Of freight
and passenger business in years as
result of the extreme winter weather,
and they are performing the task prac-
tically on schedule time.
The prolonged cold spell, now in its
tenth or eleventh week, has tied up
truck and water traffic to large ex-
tent and has grounded airplanes.
Roads are blocked in many instances
and highway travel hazardous and
merchants and middlemen have had to
fall back on the railroads for deliv-
cry service.
The transportation of coal has de-
veloped more than ever on railroads.
People who used their own cars and
other means of transportation in pre-
vious winters are now riding on trains.
During it all trains running through
this section have been only slightly
handicapped by the frequently re-
curing storms. Passenger trains are
running regularly and only a little
