COMMUNITY CHEST
 DRIVE IS OPENED
Bishop Murray Points Out Moral
 and Economical Value

Every community is just what it thinks it is said Bishop John G. Murray of Hartford at the opening luncheon of the Community Chest drive for s50.0O0 at the Hotel Bur- ritt today.
 Bishop Murray took as his theme the two phases of a commu- nifty chest drive, the economical and the moral. He pointed cut the vast economical benefit to the community by taking off the community's hands what it might otherwise have to do and what would seriously overbur- den it. He spoke of the value to the contributor by being able 10 make one annual contribution to all nine organizations instead of nine times for the same group.
 He pointed out the great moral and psychological value to community, and cited instances where the day nursery is the only mother some children know for the greater part of the day and the Visiting Nurses aid in alleviating the suffering of those who are i'll and afflicted. He told of the work Of the Salvation Army. Junior Achievement and other organizations.
 He advised his hearers to continue 10 give the highest moral and psy- chological value to the drive and said the economical result would be surprising.
 The two prize winners and the five who were awarded honorable men, ton in the essay contest were pres- ent. Prizes and congratulations were extended on behalf Of the drive by Rev. pr. George ". c. Hill.

Brownsville and Street Paving


a HE HERALD has always stood at the forefront of every cam
= paign looking to the laying down Of additional street paving
in Brownsville. If it ever had fault to find with paving that had
been put down, it was the fact that there was not more of it.
The question of whether there should be additional paving at
this time has been the cause of a rift in the city commission, with
the mayor on one side of the argument and the four members of
the commission on the other. 1@%*H
The mayor, who refused to take any part in the award of a
contract, bases his opposition on two points; namely, the conten-
ton that the city is not able at this time to finance additional paw
ng, and that the award was made to a higher bidder at an excess
sive cost to the city.
The other members of the citys governing body contend that
the city is in condition financially to undertake the work, and they
contend also that it remains within the province of the commits
sion to make an award to a higher bidder, provided it is considered
ry out the contract in satisfactory manner. 49,
In the meantime, a group of citizens, supporting the mayor,
nave gone to the courts in quest of an injunction to permanently
restrain the city from carrying out the contract. In return, the
city is seeking dissolution of the temporary injunction.
The foregoing is, briefly, the status of the matter at this time.
The Herald does not consider itself competent to pass upon the
quality of the proposed paving, nor does it consider itself COM
petent to pass upon the detail Of procedure and the merits Of the
case now in the court. That is for the court to decide.
The mayors claim that the city is not in position to finance
additional paving at this time is, however, another matter. The
city owes around 81 00O, 900. 1t appears that its debt limit is about
reached. Property owners will surely resent further increased
taxes, and the process of reduction Of indebtedness is necessarily
slow. What are we going to do about municipal improvements
hereafter, if Brownsville is to become q real city?

To such extent as they can fit their
