WILDCAT BRENERIES

Wildcat breweries are kin broth
ers to illegal nome stills. The only
difference between them is that the
former manufacture beer on a large
scale while the latter manufacture
home brew on a small scale.
Prohibition agents are hard pu;
to combat the wildcats. They aG-
init it. They also admit that liquor
can be obtained with varying de-
grees of difficulty" in various cities.
Naturally, they blame the wildcat
tiers.
A few days ago prohibition
speaker of national reputation said
that the stories of drinking We're
grossly eXa ggerated. Evidently those
who want to see prohibition en-
forced circumspectly and those
charged with enforcement problems
do not agree upon some of the de-
tails. One can believe what one de-
sires to believe.
The anti-prombitionists cayil at
prohibition; but they pay % cents
glass for supposed beer, usually
twin brother to near-bcer; and
this fact is often quoted by the
prohibitionists as evidence that the
ways Of the drinker are getting
harder and harder. Much Of this
rear-bear-we meant to say. beer
is manufa ctured in the wildcat
breWeries, and as much of it has
hailed from Waterbury there is
considerable interest in the report
whether the raid OF several Wild
caters in that city will interfere
with the future supply rounda bout.

BUILDING LAWS

Despite the impression one gets
regarding the activities CT the
building commissioner. Mr. Ruth
erford has been more often consd-
crate and kind than otherwise. One
can make this announcement with
confidence. One of the men who
have been shared in the campaign
to rid the city of building or zon-
ing violations had been warned re-
peatedly. The trouble. however,
seemed to be that the man did not
take the warnings seriously. There
are others in the same category.
Nothing seems to make an impress
sion upon some people except legal
action.
The city has building code and
d coming law. II is wrong to ex-
pect some builders TO conform while
others fail TO co so, 1t is the build
ing inspectors duty 10 see that the
laws are enforced with equality to-
ward all. Let's go.
