NEA Service staff CORRESPONDENT

New York, Jan. 2-The
typical transaction on the
New York Stock Exchange
begins far from the financial
district, travels to- New
York, passes through the
maelstrom of the Stock Ex-
change, and goes out again in
completed form to the place
where it started. The ex-
change is the mill through
which passes the grist of the
nations dealings in stocks.
Let us suppose that Joe Doakes,
Iowa grocer wants TO sell that
hundred shares of General Mo-
tors which he has bought, put
away, but not quite forgotten
about. He wants cash to buy a
new accounting system for the
store. Down In Atlanta, Ca,
there sits in a brokers' board
room one Col. Boakes, who thinks
General Motors may 60 up, and
wants TO buy some.
AND IN MINUTES
THE DEALS MADE
Getting Doakes and Boakes to-
gether for the deal Is what the
stock exchange Is for.
Doakes goes to, or telephones,
to his broker, whose firm Is a
member of the New York Stock
Exchange. II want to sell 100
shares OF General Motors" says
Doakes. "All right. Have your
stock certificate here this after
noon," says the customers man.
with whom Doakes deals. Within
five minutes the customers man
calls Doakes back and reports
that his stock has been sold. But
a great deal has been happening
in that five minutes.
The Iowa branch office OF the
stock exchange firm sends q mes

the broker representing him. Of
fers Doakes 100 shares at so 7-8,
an eighth lower than the lowest
price at which anyone else Is Of
fering 1t. Somewhere between
that price and 90 5-8th, the last
bid price, he gets together with
another floor broker, who has
Boakes' buying order, say at
60 3-4. When their offers meet,
Doakes' broker shouts "Sold!'

And the transaction Is COM
plete. Each broker sends q nota-
ton to his telephone clerk" Of
the sale, price. and broker with
whom he has dealt. These tele-
phone men notify their New
York offices by direct phone wire.
These offices in turn by private
wire notify their branch offices,
who tell Doakes and Boakes re-
spectively that their deals are
made. Sometimes the whole cir
cult Is completed within one min
ute.
But in the meantime, as soon

LONERCAN PLANS
TO MODIFY BILL

Highway Crossings
Contemplated

Washington, d. Clan. 2-Crea'
ton Of an advisory committee or
highway safety standards similar l.
purpose to the national advisory
committee on aeronautics, but fol
the purpose Of encouraging Safety
in engineering and mechanical de-
sign Of passenger automobiles will
be proposed by Senator Lonergan
Cd Connecticut In the next Con-
gress, he announced today.
The Senator indicated that Il
may be possible for him to modify
his present bill to establish a Safe.
ty Standards Commission for high.
way grade crossings and draw.
bridges 80 that the advisory and re.
search organization on passenger
vehicles would be made a part
thereof.
Explaining that his origina
measures to remove traffic hazards
had been directed principally
toward preventing accidents al
grade crossings and drawbridges
Senator Lonergan said:
ut has now become apparent
that safety standards should be adj
vocated for passenger vehicles al
well as for buses and trucks which
are now regulated under the Motor
Carriers Act. Experience during the
last three years of highway safety
campaigns in all states has revealed
that many accidents result from
poor visibility of automobile driv-
ers, as well as from mechanical de-
fects. Poor visibility has to large
extent resulted from the style de-
sign of automobiles to meet public
demand. Manufacturers have ex-
pressed a willingness to cooperate
in designing their cars to provide
The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-01-02

greater visibility but the states and
individuals must be familiarized
with the danger Of poor visibility
before they will change their de-
sire for unsatisfactory designed
cars. The manufacturers naturally
must consider the popular demand.
1.-THE advisory group could con-
duct research into the engineering
purposes Of design, and encourage
the states to require such stand
ards"
The Senator said that It had also
been suggested that such a group
might ultimately be given Federal
Jurisdiction to require safety de-
signing Of passenger cars operated
In Interstate Commerce. but he
personally expressed doubt of whe-
Their the government has such au-
thority constitutionally.

While Conencticut,s public water

several years, q. X. Gaillard. presi-

reviewing the year 1895. MIR. Call

"The year 1896 from the view

company. Mr.. Birds statement was
as follows:
"For the Connecticut Power Com
pany the year 1895 has been one Of
progress and satisfactory accom-
plishments In spite Of heavy adver-
stiles In the early part Iof the year.
The unprecedented March flood not
only pafalyzed o considerable part
Of the company,s operations, catis-
ing prolonged Interruptions TO ser
vice with serious and regrettable In
convenience TO our customers. but
also resulted in appreciable revenue
loss for the company. Thanks TO
the splendid spirit Of devotion to
duty on the part Of odr own organ
izstion and to the magnificent CO.
operation received from our neigh
Dor company the Connecticut Light
81 Power Company, emergency con-
struction was speedily completed
and operations restored. During
the balance Of the year much has
been accomplished In the way Of re-
construction and rehabilitation Of
our properties, which TO q very large
extent will prevent q repetition Of
this years interruption to service,
even II a similar flood should again
be experienced.
I'm conformity with the recent
federal legislation aimed at the
elimination of the holding company
form Of corporate structure, the af-
flliated companies. namely, the
Stamford Gas a. Electric Company,
the Union Electric Light & Power
Company, and the Manchester Elec-
trio Company, were merged during
the year mot and with the Con-
necticut Power Company thus FORM
ing a single operating company.
"As a result Of this step a con-
siderable increase in federal tax
alton applicable to holding COM
panies is avoided and as time goes
on other operating savings will be
effected which will tend to compen-
safe for the abandonment Of the
former policy Of operating the ANIL
lated companies as independent
units with local management and
control. Local control has, however,
been retained to the greatest pos
sible degree by the creating Of d.
visional boards Of control Of local
personnel which will have the re-
sponsibility for the operations in
their respective localities and by the
close contact with the territories
served will be In q position to re-
spond promptly to local needs.
with the consolidation, the Con-
necticut Power Company Is now OPP
Grated with six divisions: the New
London, Middletown, and Housa-
tonic divisions: the Stamford Gas
and Electric division; the Manches-
ter Electric division, and the FAR
mington Valley division.
due to the increased industrial
and commercial activity In the past
year with q resultant increased pur-
chasing power on the part Of our
domestic consumers, the corapany,s
sales have increased In q gratifying
manner. Every effort has beer
made to curtail expenses, and iii
this respect the company has beer
successful excepet for very sub
stantial and continuously increasing
tax burden, which Is entirely be-
yond the control Of the manage
ment. II is apparent that only
keen tax consciousness on the part
Of our customers will ever remove
