LUMBER INDUSTRY
 IS SLOWING DOWN
Lack of Anticipated New Building UndertOne
 of Weakening

According to a statement by the Forest Products Division, Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce, there is a definite feeling in the lumber industry that demand for lumber has somewhat slowed up. "This," the statement continues, "in spite of the fact that production, shipments and orders for the first five months of the year have ex- ceeded those for the same period last year and that during May new peaks were established for new orders and production.
 "The industry had anticipated a slow, steadily increasing volume Of business during the spring and the early summer months, but there is apparently an undertone Of weak ening due undoubtedly to the lack of anticipated new building. Com mitment records in FILA continue high, and the entire building ma- terials industries are hoping that this volume of commitments will be converted into actual building. Industrial demands for lumber con- tinue slow, hardwoods being par ticularly quiet without showing any strengthening in price"

SHORT CIRCUIT
 PROVES COSTLY
$2,5OO Blaze ROuts Apart. ment Occupants Early
 This Morning

Short circuit of wires leading to radio in the Elm Grill, 35 South Elm street, was the cause of $2,- 800 blaze at the two-story frame building shortly before o'clock this morning. Lieut.. Eugene A. Legge, who investigated together with State Policeman Victor Clark of the Beacon Falls barracks, and Electrical Inspector Martin J. o. Rourke, said the short circuit set fire to paper decorations near the bar.
 The occupants of the apartment over the grill, Helen and Margaret Levins and their nephew, Francis Calabro, were routed from the burning building. Miss Margaret Levins was awakened by smoke, and reused the others who fled with her down the rear stairway, the only exit. Two dogs were rescued by Calabro.
 Patrolman Ralph Belloisy discov- cred the fire and gave the alarm. Sly companies of apparatus and headquarters responded.

Levitt Attacks Congressional Rotten Borough Setups
AUTO MECHANIC
 CLASS PLANNED
Dr. COndOn' FavOrs New Class at LeavenwOrth
 High

An automobile mechanics course as part of the regular curriculum of Leavenworth High school will be given consideration when the school budget is made up this year, Supt of Schools Dr. Thomas J. Cohdon said today.
 The superintendent has been in favor of such a course for many years, but the matter has been blocked by lack of the necessary appropriation. It is understood most of the members of the Board of Education are in favor of the me- chanics' training course which would become division of the machine shop at Leavenworth.
 Demand for the course is great, Supt. Condon said, and such courses are largely attended in other cities where they are available.
 Little has been said about a course for prospective airplane me- chancis, Dr. Condon stated, but such a course looms as a possibility for future years.

Suggests Governor
 Should Call Special
 Session Of Assembly
Gentleman From Bedding Demands Proper Repre- sentation at Washington, in State Senate;
 Fears c. 0. P. Will Not Consent to Change

It seems as though the basis for the creation of the Senatorial District was the population of Holland County. There is no rea- son why the population of Wind- ham County, Middlesex County or Litchfield County should not be taken as the basis for Senatorial Districts. The population in Windham County is approximate ly 54,000, in Middlesex the popu- lation is approximately 51,000, in Litchfield County the population is 82000. Any one of those fig ures could be used as the basis for a Senatorial District without in any way evading the Constitution of Connecticut. Taking the popu- lation in any one of those coun- ties as the basis for Senatorial Districts would give a fairer and more accurate representation to the people of Connecticut in the various parts of the State. Proper provisions could be made to in- sure that the people in each coun- ty should have not less than one Senator.
 l submit that there is nothing in the Constitution of Connecti- cut which prevents a more &C., curate representation in the State Senate, than we have now.
 Of course the proper thing to do would be to abolish the exist ing rotten borough" system al- together. That, however, would entail a constitutional amend ment. It can hardly be expected that the Republican Party, which now maintains control of the State through It's control of the representatives from the rotten borouehs," would in any way wil- lingly relinquish that control. But the redistricting of the State so as to have legal representation in the House of Representatives at Washington and legal representa- tion in the State Senate would not in any way entail the giving up by the Republican party of its existing control through the continuance of the rotten bor. ough" system. It ought not, therefore, be too difficult for the Republican party in this state to bring itself within the Constitu- ton of the State by reconvening the General Assembly and giving proper representation hereafter in Congress and in the State Senate.
 Very respectfully yours,
 (Signed) Albert Levitt.

WPA CONCLUDES
 STATE SURVEY
Prepares Outline on Strac- turaI Organization of
 of Government in Conn.

No one in Connectcut need ever be vague about the structure of any government in this state. The Outline of Structural Organization of the State and local Government of Connecticut, whose publication Is announced today by Vincent J. Sullivan, State Administrator of the WPA, is the answer to all questions on government in this state.
 Prepared by the Professional and Service division of WPA, in cooper ation with the Institute of Womens Professional Relations at New Lon- don, this imposing book of 43l pages, amply illustrated by charts, gives complete account of the work done in public service positions in Con- necticut and the requirements for such work.
 Determine Status
 Mayors, first selectmen, judges, health officers, jury commissioners and voters can learn whether they must be lawyers, doctors, or just citizens, whether they must pass services examinations or become elected before holding an office in the state of local government.
 This information, invaluable to persons concerned in the structural organization of the various units of government is one phase of 8 study of public employment. It gives the work done in public service positions and the requirements by way of education, training, experience, per- sonal qualifications required and desirable in offlce-holders.
 The book opens with large chart of the state government, which tells almost at a glance how the division of executive, legislative and judicial bodies is made, which offices are elective, and which appointive which require consent of the gover- nor and the assembly and which are special requirement. jobs.
 The text following explains such paramount questions as how voters are made, who can vote, how nom- nations are made. One section is devoted to the legislative branch | dllOJIlCI UU tLlC ChIutiFCg oiiV " oS lection of the personnel of state employment, finance, public works conservation, etc.
 County Makeup
 County organization is discussed in a chapter. Other chapters are devoted to municipalities, the fi- nancing of government activities public works public safety and similar branches. Town government has its own heading, with distinc- tions made for towns with boroughs towns with town managers or any other conditions special to them.
 The data were compiled from tht General Statutes and from the Special Laws of Connecticut by pro- ject workers. Interviewing was don't by members of the staff of the In stitute of Womens Professions Relations of Connecticut college Both the Rockefeller Foundation and Connecticut College provide, founds for interviewing and specia supervision.
 (Mrs.) Chase Going Woodhous of Connecticut College was directo of the survey and had the colla boration of Edward James Wood house of the University of Nortl Carolina in writing the report.

Washington, July 12-(UP)-The nations death rate from automobile accidents dropped sharply in l538, preliminary census figures showed today. Motor vehicles killed 32,428 persons, or PAS per 100000.
 The 30.643 deaths in 1897 were record nigh, averaging BOT per l00.- 900.
 A state-by -state breakdown of ac- cident statistics showed that Nevada had the highest death rate with 65.3, and Rhode Island had the low est with i22. Only South Dakota and Utah recorded increases over 1887 all other registering declines.
 Following Nevada in the death rate column were Arizona. Callfor- mia and Florida. Rhode Island. the low state. was preceded by Arkan- sas, Massachusetts ana North Da- kota.

Demands that a special session of the General Assembly be called to create proper congressional and state senatorial districts are con- tained in letter sent to Gov. Ray mond E. Baldwin today by Prof. Albert Levitt, of Bedding. Other re- cent demands by the former Inde- pendent Republican leader have gone unanswered, among them ap- peals for notification of the judge- ship "deap' appointments to the minor courts, for an investigation Of the Fairfield county government and prosecution of political leaders talk ing part in the judgeship negotia- tions.
 MT. Levitt declares that the con- Rressional districts of the state are laid out on an unfair basis, with some districts having almost twice as large a population as others.
 The layout of senatorial districts is also at fault, he charges. The changes he suggests, he said, could be made without affecting the "rot- ten borough" system, whereby the Republicans control the state legis- tature.
 MT. Levitt's letter follows:
 July Il, 1889 The Hon. Raymond E. Baldwin The Capitol
 Hartford, Connecticut
 Dear Governor Baldwin:
 AS a citizen of the State I re- spectfully request that you call special session of the General As- sembly for the purpose of properly creating congressional and State Senatorial Districts.
 The detailed official figures for the population in the State Of Connecticut, which figures you will find in the United States re- port of the census and in the Con- necticut Register and Manual for 1888, establishes explicitly that the people of Connecticut arc not properly represented in the House of Representatives of the Congress of the United States and arc not properly represented in the Sen- ate of the General Assembly of Connecticut.
 There is something obviously wrong when the representative in Congress from the First District represents 42l,000 persons, the representative from the Second District represents 5000 persons, the representative from the Third District represents 305 ,000 persons, the representative from the Fourth District represents 386,0 ,000 persons and the representative from the Fifth District represents 241, ,000 persons.
 Furthermore, the State should have been redistricted long before this so as to provide for 6 con- Rressional Districts instead of hav- ing 5 congressional districts and one congressman at large.
 You will find the law dealing with this matter in the United States code, title 2, chapter l That law should have been obeyed by the General Assembly of Con- necticut in 1883, 1885, 1887, and 1889.
 There is also something quite obviously illegal, under the Con- stitution of Connecticut, in con- tinuing the present State Sen- atorial Districts. The senator from the Fourth District repre- sents over 1000 persons, while the senator from the Twenty Ninth District represents 29,000 persons. The senator from the sixth District represents 68,000 persons, while the senator from the Thirty-Fourth District rep- resents a little less than 23,000 persons. The rest of the situation Is similar. You will find the de- tailed figures in the Connecticut State Register and Manual for 1888, pages 445 and 446.
