THE ASSESSING BOARD

That the economy outlook some
times is more rosy than it actually
is when one gets closeup view is
illustrated by the city's decision to
stick by the present system of hay
ing a board of assessors.
If one man could do the work
of the board, it would be a saving.
If the job could be performed by a
man working part time it would be
still greater saving.
Such things cannot be done in a
city of 10000 people. Naturally. it
found that if there were to be only
one assessor he would require cap
able assistants, so that the salary
requirements would equal that nee
essary to maintain the present
board. In addition, there would be
a certain amount of red tape nee
essary by dint of special act from
the legislature.
The present assessment system
has been working satisfactorily; at
least there have been no complaints
It need not be disturbed in the name
of efficiency that may not be all
that is claimed for it.

BUILDING IN 1927

As everyone knows, the building
boom has quit booming slightly. In
some cities it has let itself down
with quite a thud. The building
trades, instead of being the busiest
people in the country, now will
have time to enjoy themselves more;
possibly attend the theaters they
helped TO construct in such lavish
profusion.
That there will be fair continual
ton OF building throughout the year,
however, seems likely. Contracts and
declarations of contemplated expan-
sions remain frequent. New Brit
ain is one of the cities where build
ing will not become altogether a
lost art during the year. In fact,
scarcely was the year a day old
when an announcement came Of q
large structure to be constructed
during the year There may be 9TH
ers; not so many as we have had,
but enough to keep us from think
ing the city is standing still.

gether too much of it being done by
youthful drivers.
Motor Commissioner Robbins B.
Stocked is in favor of reducing the
age for drivers to 16. The only ap-
parent reason is because some
neighboring state permits l6-year-
old drivers, who when they come
into Connecticut cause trouble for
the state police.
Because some other state allows
the 16 year Odds to operate our
modern highway juggernauts is no
reason why Connecticut should do
likewise. There are a great many
laws which are dissimilar in the
various states; let this be one of
them. The tendency elsewhere may
be to raise the age for driving, in
stead of lowering it.
\ commentator recalls that the
law requires person to be u years
of age before he can vote. 1t re-
quircs more maturity of thought and
skill to drive an automobile than to
vote. In truth, as Mr.. Stocked will
probably agree, it requires no skill at
all to vote the Republican ticket. To
drive an automobile properly upon
our congested highways that S
