HAWAIIAN MIR
Bases URGED

WASHINGTON, d. c., April 2S.-
R-As a result of studies just con-
cluded by the army general staff, the
War Department believes that ad-
yanced air bases on the outlying ISL
ands of the Hawaiian group are es-
sential to an adequate defense of Ha.
wall and particularly to the Pacific
key Notifications at. Oahu.
Major General Patrick, chief Of the
army air service, had been instructed
by Secretary Davis to take the neces-
sary steps for the establishment OF
airways in the Hawaiian department. I"
Sites on various islands of the group
which soon will come into possession
of the United States through an ex-
change arranged with the territorial
authorities, will be utilized for air pur-
poses. Funds for construction already
are available.
The fields TO be established will be
situated near Wailau on Kauai ISL
and. near Lanai City on Lanai island !;
at Upolu Point, and at South Cape
on Hawaii island. and near Hanapepe
and Kauai island.
The staff studies which led TO the
finding that airways were required
were based on data obtained from the
joint army-navy maneuvers last May,
which convinced the army and navy
umpires that the islands at present
were inadeouately protected.

NEED FOR A|RPORTS

Cities Must Meet Demand for
Commercial Fields, Says
P. o. Official.

The progress of commercial aviation
Is making the development of rhunic-
ipal airpOrts necessity, in the opin-
ion ofW. Irving Glover. Second AS
siStant Postmaster General, in charge
of the airmail service.
While q number of cities in various
parts of the country have foreseen the
need for ouch facilities and have pro-
vided them out of municipal funds on
a revenut- producing basis, he pointed
out that many others. including New
York and San Francisco, the ccnters
Of foreign and domestic commerce on
The Atlantic and Pacific costs, had
rot made preparations for the ad-
Vancement of this new method of
transportation.
Need Declared Urgent.
Use of Army and Navy Post Office
Department fields for commercial pur-
poses is impossible, in most instances,
because of the Government S require
ments, he said, and the rapid eXpan-
sion of private aviation enterprises Is
making the need for landing facilities
urgent. Inauguration Of air mau
service between Seattle and Los An
geles has been held up, he said, be-
cause the Army authorities have been
Crissy Field, at San Francisco, and
Concord Field is occupied by the

The Post Office Department has pro-
Vided airports for its own use in con-
nection with the tranScontinental and
New York Chicago overnight air mail
services. Such of these airports as
can be used by air mail connecting
routes are made available to contrac-
tors, he said, but at other places they
ties.
SesGui Service Used to Capacity.
Private airports are being used
on the SCSquiCentennial air mail SerV-
ice between Philadelphia and Wash

sengers and express matter in addi
ton to mail to the limit of the ca

business. which Postmaster General
New regards as necessary for profit

The Government, through it's newly
organized aviation branch in the Com
merce Department, is continuing the
pioneer work of developing airWayS
begun by the air mail service and is

struction of airportS, which is held
to be the duty of municipalities, as

inspector during the month of Aug ust. Fifty-four applications were denied and 179 permits were is sued. When these facts are taken into consideration we feel the work Of the building inspectors office is being very well handled at the present time.
 With the fees of our depart ment amounting to more than s1.- 900 for the month, being more than self-supporting, and with salary saving of more than s1,6o0 a year, and with a far more efIi- cient department, the board feels that the clerk of the department. trained through her several years experience in the office. is most certainly entitled to a s200 increase and we earnestly request that your committee grant this increase.
 Tn conclusion: This board has given a great deal of time and thought to these recommendations We have tried to do the work as- signed to us so that the city would benefit by our efforts in behalf of the building department-to make it one of the most efficient depart- ments in our city.
 Thanking you for whatever a.t sjstance you may give us tow is these ends, I remain" etc

HENNESSY'S GHOST
 HAUNTS CITY HALL
(Continued from First Page)

Of the additional work that has been
 placed on her and the increased
 responsibility of the office.
 l Councilman Thure Bengston of- fered an amendment to Councilman Sablotsky's motion 10 recommend the increase, saying he did not doubt the efficiency Of the clerk, but ! if her salary is increased at this time of the year, other employees in city hall would feel justified in ask ing increases. He rc.d he will prob ably favor an increase for the clerk in December, to take effect the first Of next fiscal year. Councilmen Bengston, Olson and Maxon voted for the amendment and Councilmen Sablotsky Zapatka and English voted against ii. Councilman F. c. Hausmann, chairman, broke the tie in favor Of the amendment to table . the recommendation
 Sablotsky Cross-Examines Leavitt At the outset, Councilman Sablot- sky asked Chair &n Leavitt the wages of employees In the building trades. The chairman replied that he pays foremen in his own business $50 q week. The chairman de- clined to answer the councilmans question whether Building Superin- tendent John E. Downes of the school departm ent Is overpaid at 5000 per year. Mir. Downes Is "a capable man" the chairman said. Councilman Sablotsky asked If the school department does s250, 900 worth of new construction annually and Chairman T.eavitt replied that last years new construction involved s1.000,o00. Councilman Sablotsky said he believed the salary of the building inspector of the city should be at least s5,000 in view of the S8.000,000 worth of building last year.
 He failed 10 understand he said. now the building commission hopes to conduct the department with single inspector. He believes the de- partment needs a deputy inspector and he wanted to know why there is no onger such position. The taxpayers are 'lIIt4tu tO tiloI OuSl inspections of all building work and they cannot get it with one man, he said.
 Chairman Leavitt said the depart ment can get along temporarily without a deputy inspector, but he would not say there will never be need for one although the commis- sion hopes to be able to do without one. Relative to the comparative capabilities of Rutherford and Hen messy, he would only say that Ruth erford is a competent man and the stipulation on which he accepted the position was that the commis- sions would make every effort to
New Britain herald., 1926-09-10

have the salary increased. The
 commission did not promise to ob-
 tain the raise. being without power
 to do so. Rutherford's work is very
 satisfactory, the chairman said.
 Downcs Wouldn't Accept for S1O,00O
 When the matter of obtaining a
 new inspector came up, Chairman . Leavitt said, he interviewed capable men, among them MT. Downes. Mir Downes said he would not even con- sider taking the position for less than s10,000 per year. Pressed for a reply to the question as to the reasons for replacing Hennessy, ! Chairman Leavitt declined to an- swer, but Councilman Thure Beng ston said he believes Rutherford 1 superior to Hennessy as inspector for the reason that the former is better able to organize and plan the work of the department and effect economy in the department. Coun- cilman Sablotsky replied that the new system which Chairman Leavitt said was installed in the office would
 have resulted in economy under . Henne6sy to the same degree as 1t las under Rutherford. Councilman Olson wanted to know the cause of all the criticism Of the building de- partment under Hennessy. Nobody answered.
 Councilman Maxon asked Council man Sablotsky if he meant to ques- ton the judgment of the building commission in replacing one man with the other. The commission put in Rutherford in preference to Hennessy." he said. That should answer your question as to the rela- tive capabilities of the men," tol which Councilman Sablotsky replied that such may be the case, but he believes the building commission should tell the committee so, or else admit there was politics involved in the change. Councilman Bengston remarked that the salary commit tee is not concerned in the reasons for the change. The fact is that there was a vacancy and Rutherford was appointed. Under the ordi- Idutts, lllt SdldIy y III Issol Dt HAUL. Ilt moved the recommendation for the increase and it was voted without a dissenting vote.
 Clerks Salary Discussed
 Relative to the recommended in- | crease for the clerk, Councilman |, Bengston said the ordinances re- 1 quire petitions for salary adjust | ments to be presented at the De- cember council meeting. He asked . Chairman Leavitt if the commis- sioners, being new in city affairf. were aware of this requirement and the chairman replied affirmatively. Asked if the commission would ob ject to tabling the recommendation. the chairman said he did not think so.
 Councilman Sablotsky said he be- lieves the building commission should be commended for recogniz- ing the clerks capabilities, and striv- ing to compensate her for the added responsibility of her position. It is
