COMMUNICATED
Taxpayer Challenges Alderman Paon-
 cssa to Prove His Charges.

To the Editor of The Herald:
 A few days ago | read statement in our local press about waste of pub lie money and incompetence on the | part of our engineering department, with particular reference to sewer work in the northern section of the city. AS l read l questioned the ac- curacy of the statement and fully cX- pected an indignant denial from those ] in authority.
 Second thought led me to the con- CusiOn that bald assertions are not aI- ways backed by facts and that the absence of those facts probably eX- plained the absence of the denial.
 However, that may be, 1 am, like all taxpayers interested in the truth or untruth of that statement.
 The genial Alderman from the Sixth Ward has the reputation of be- ing a toOd sport and with that un- derstanding l hereby challenge him to back up his assertions with proof
 The taxpayers have q right to know if the Alderman was merely talking through his hat for political effect, on a subject he knew very little about, or merely to vent his spleen.
 One public servant has no right to assail other public servants as the Alderman has done without produc- ing detailed proof
 If he produces that proof I will doff my hat to him and hail him as d public benefactor.
 The average taxpayer will join me in giving this salutation.
 Come, Alderman, produce your proof and I'll produce the salute.
 The Alderman has either said too much or too little The public wants the facts in the case. If not supplied by the accuscr they can be- I presume, by the accused, though failure on your part to produce your proof would be construed as a confession of having wilfully made false charges against public servants.
 A hurried glance through the rec ords of the Common Council, where this work had it's inception and atl- thorization fails to disclose any pro- test on the part of Alderman Paon- essa.
 Respectfully,
 TAXPAYER.

LEGION MEN TO

Cafeteria Supper Will Be Served at I<cnsingtOn Church on Thursday Items of Interest.

Members of Bolton -KaSiCa post American Legion, were inclined to be peaved to use their term, over the action of the New Britain Legion in regards to the acceptance of the in- vitation sent them to aid in having General Foch stop at Berlin on De Cember 13.
 At the meeting of the New Britain post following the receipt of the in vitation action was taken and a com mittee appointed to see what plans could be made to have General FOch stop at New Britain instead of Berlin. Several reasons were given for this action.
 Local men, however, have changed their minds and can more readily see into the argument presented by New Britain that the city did more during the war than Berlin or kensington. They also have more to present to the general than this town has.
 A member of the legion when seen this morning stated that he was in clmed to believe that the local post would do all in their power to aid the New Britain post in bringing Foch to that city although he thought it was very improbable that it could be done as that city is not on the main railroad line and Berlin is. He did not think that arrangement could be made for having the train, on which the general will ride, go to New York by way of New Britain and Water bury
 It has been learned that the gen eral has refused an invitation to stop at Bridgeport and it is doubtful if he will stop at Berlin. As far as can be learned the people of the town are willing to back the legion and q big effort will be made, to have the train stopped
 Negatives Win Debate

NUN ON JURY
HUN SUMMONED TO SERVE ON
JURY IN LONDON COURT.

Unless a private bill is rushed
through Parliament the High Court of
Justice will see the unique sight of a
London nun being summoned to serve
on the jury.
This is the outcome of the Sex Dis
qualification Removal Act of 1919
which fulfilled the desires of the
ardent feminists of placing women on
an equality with men. The trainers OF
this Act, who conceded to women the
privilege of the vote, also insisted
that women should perform the other
civic duties of the voters. Hence all
women, including enclosed nuns, who
have the vote, are also liable for jury
duty, and it so happens that a nun has
been placed on the list of jurors.
