COMMUNICATED
Wants Itemized List OF Dedication
Expenditures

The New Britain Herald
To The Editor:
note that the estimated expenses
for the dedication of the memorial
at Walnut Hill park has been re-
duced from $4,000 to $4,000. That
is quite some reduction. And yet
some OF us taxpayers, who have to
foot the bill eventually, still wonder
Just what this last amount of $4,000
is to be spent for.
From the plans already made
public, one is inclined to the as
sumption that the affair more close
ly resembles festivities than a men,
orial to the local boys who died in
the World War.
AS a taxpayer. I am opposed to
the expenditure Of any more than is
absolutely necessary for the object
in view. Providing a banquet has
not been proven to be an essential
part of such exercises. Why do we
have to feed them?
This event should be. strictly a
dignified and impressive memorial
exercise 10 the World war dead and
Il banquet in that kind OF a program
is entirely out of place and this
large cumbersome committee of zoo
should Sc to it that those discordant
land eXpensive) notes be erased
from the score.
Which brings us again to the ques-
ton as to about what items the Sl0,-
900 will be spent for. Are the tax
payers going to see an itemized ac-
count of these expenditures or will
the usual reply be made that the
committee spending the money is
| trustworthy and therefore you
| should be ashamed of yourself for
| asking for an itemiZed bill, as hap
pened to a local chief when he went
| to d convention and was asked upon
| his return for an itemized account?
wonder if, when all has been
done, the itemized expenses could
not be placed on file at the city
clerks Office or at some suitable
place so that those interested tax
payers can find out how some OF
their hard earned money is spent.

MORR0W'S VISIT
VERY POPULAR
American Ambassador Acclaim.
ed in Mexico

Oaxaca City, Oaxaca, Mexico. Aug.
IS P)-The Star Spangled Banner is
waving in a part of tropical Mexico
where it had never been seen be-
fore owing to the visit of Dwight w.
Morrow, American ambassador.
Mr.. Morrow swept through south
ern Mexico yesterday as a guest of
honor and as a friend of the people.
He was received as no foreign rep
resentative and in fact few Mexicans
have ever been received.
AS he Travelled across the states OF
Puebla and OaXaca American flag.,

tissue paper. flew in every little In
dian village. The American ambas-
sador was cheered by swarms OF
people at every station.
Mr.. Morrow left Mexico City on
what he thought would be quiet
and uneventful private trip to see
the old ruined city of Militia near
Oaxaca. Instead he found that the
name and fame of Morrow as an
ambassador of good will and friend
of Mexico had been SO circulated
among the Mexican people that it
was impossible for him to make few
days sightseeing trip in private
and personal capacity. People ev-
erywhere hearing of his coming in
sisted on welcoming him in an Off
cial capacity and as a friend.
The information had been spread
around Mexico by word of mouth
and newspapers that :'the powerful
nation to the north has sent to Mex,
leo an ambassador who Is our frieno.
The Yankees have become our
friends"
During his twelve hours trip from
Puebla to Oaxaca every village
turned out to hail the friendly ann
bassador of a friendly country which
few years ago they had been az
customed to call slurringly "the
Colossus of the North"
Governor Genaro V. Vazquez OF
the state of Oaxaca with a group OF
high officials met the ambassador
train as it crossed the border from
Puebla at the town of San Antonio.
The population of several hundred
assembled at the station. They wav-
ed tissue paper flags Of the United
States and Mexico. They shouted,
viva Morrow" viva Washington:
viva MeXico."
Governor Vazquez then took his
place by Mr.. Morrow's side on the
platform. He told the crowd that
Mr.. Morrow was welcomed to OaXa-
ca as a brother and a friend.
viva Morrow" shouted the
crowd. viva COOLIDGE" viva
Calles."
The same scene was repeated
Throughout the day at station after
station. Officials hailed Mr.. Morrow
as an ambassador of good will. The,
, declared his visit was a historic oc'
casion marking new era of friena'
ship when Mexicans can cheer from
their hearts and call the official rep.
: resentative of the United States theil
friend.
At every station there was a barr
: or an orchestra out to serenade -
