CLERK OF COURTS

In the candidacy of Walter C. Bur-
ris for second term as clerk of
courts on the Democratic ticket the
motto, "One good term deserves an
other" is peculiarly applicable.
During his incumbency, Mr.. Burris
has brought the Office up to high
degree of efficiency. Everything about
the office is in splendid condition and
the records kept right up to date. All
this speaks volumes of praise for
Walter c. Burris and emphasizes the
statement, Zone good term deserves
another" In his relations with the
members of the bar and the public
generally who have business in the
office, Mr.. Burris has always been
courteous and painstaking in render
ing all possible assistance. 1t Is a
great satisfaction to have such man
in public Office and the people are
alert in showing mark of apprecia-
ton of him.

1ARTFORD'S BIG
HOUSING PLAN
Million Dollar Project to Give
Workers Decent Homes
Is Booming.

Hartford, Jan. 3O-Hartfords ST.
100000 housing plan, which was de-
scribed in The Connecticut Labor Press
when first started several weeks ago, is
coming along finely. 1t is designed to
supply working people and others of
modest income, with desirable homes at
reasonable price and to deliver them
from the grasp of profteering land
lords
Subscriptions aggregating over $780,
OOO were conditionally pledged for the
project Tuesday at meeting of the re-
tail merchants committee of the Cham
Der of Commerce. Together with other
pledges received during the day, total
of over 100000 was indicated, with
about $4,000 actually pledged.
The following statement, issued at the
close of the meeting, showed the pledges
made by the different retail stores of the
city:
1--WE, the undersigned merchants of
the city of Hartford, DESTROYS of show
ing our endorsement of the project for
increased housing facilities and in view
of the additional ten thousand en-
ployes who are to become residents of
the city of Hartford during the next II
months, hereby subscribe the amount set
aside of our names; it being understood
that these subscriptions are not to be-
come effective until $1,O0O,GOO is sub
scribed and that the amount collected
will not be required until needed in the
actual building operations"

Stated in concrete terms, the union
label is powerful because it accom-
pl1shes by peaceful means, with abso-
lutte certainty and at little cost, that
which the strike and boycott seek to
accomplish, always at great cost and
sacrifice.
