VERMONT Fall, vacations and tant pendent it has in industrial Its always WESTFIELD actions. at times be considered as separate township so loyal are its residents to its section and so aggresalve are they in seeing to it that the section gets what it goes after.

Right now it can be said to be the most active and milltant political ward of the city. Ag if this were not enought to keep its people busy it also carries on a little inter -sectional fight 38 between the residents of the lower section and those who reside what is known U'rospect hill or the higher section. For many years there has always been great rivalry between the l'esjdents and leaders of these two sections. They have always been civilly jealous of each other and this division has served to make the ward it pretty lively one. Not only alves the Westfield river form a natural houndry for this section, but the Boston and (Albany rallroad also serves a secondary boundry.

Employes of the two railroads which enter the city have made their homes to a great eXtend in this section. It has its Own business section, hotels, restaurants, fire station and other marks of progress. It in a thriving village Within itselt XO that it is not great surprise if it has at long last decided to provide itself with an 01- ganization th.it is supposed to work for the interests of that particular section. It is of sectional am that might Apell the defeat of the obJets for which A bourd of trado has been organized. If the same flan Wore to be followed in the other seetions of the city, it night well he that thugelty would find fixelf with numerous sectional fueds on its hands and no central organization functioning for the good of the city as a whole.

It is this sectionalism that must be guided against if the. city is not to he the victim of a misplaced activity. It what has been announced comes to pass industrially, the north side of the ult: is due for all unusual expansion. It contains some of the city's largest and most progressive industries. There are others due to settle there.

Some of the concerns 001 operating there are contemplating great expansion. The Barnes airport is lotted there. The Union station is there along with other important commercial activities. In addition it is it very successful firming Section and has H. direct outlet to Springfield, Northampton and Holy ohe.

At the meeting held this week the new organization named a policy committee. It is the purpose of this committee to formulate a program of activity for its organixation. Little can he said or 'done until this its report. Upon this will hinge the ur failure of the movement. It might be well 10 inquire just' where the ('hamber of Commerce fits in this new picture? The secretary of this body conferred with the leaders.

of the new movement at its recent meeting. He no doubt warned the leaders that the end desired by the organization might be nullified if it got off the wrong start, If this movement does not resolve Itself into effort to obtain more than it is entitled to the vas of civic and pulilie improvements. then It mi: be. the forerunner of an excellent It must be borne in mind that public monies come out of senoral treasury for the benefit of the entire city and not for the benefit of any one section. The section always has 3.

ward councilman and -large sitting in the city government. Its residents have been selected from time to time for appointment 110 office. It has pmin many branches of the city government. During the years of cityhood it received a good share of attention from the city. It can rightfully he said that' back in the days of the town government, the northside was sadly neglected as to improvements.

Of late, years however it has been given much attention, The section still needs improvements. 1t is growing rapidly and perhaps this new movement if guided properly will he able to give good account of itself. For tha timo being the leaders on the northside have given the other sections of the city something to think about and it is sincerely hoped that the board of trade will serve the best interests ot reople and the city.
