a settlement Of damages done to
an automobile owned by Louis

figured in a collision with car
driven by H. G. Machen, county

According to Mr.. Buffers at
torneys, his car was struck by
the officers machine after the
latter had attempted to make a
left turn without the proper sig
nal. Butler claims damages in
the amount of $146. His wife,
Mrs. Louis Butler, and a woman
companion, Mrs. Samuel Rosen-
koff, received minor injuries as
result of the accident. County
Policeman Machen denies any
carelessness on his part as to
giving the proper signal before
making the lef-hand turn. He
was in the act of removing pris-
oners to Jessup's Cut when the
accident occurred.

Homegoing crowds hurried past
the inert figure of a man
slumped on the sidewalk, many
of the passersby tossing coins
into a proffered hat without
glancing at the supposed beggar.
Hours later a woman paused
to drop a coin into the rapidly
filling hat and looked more
closely at the. supposed object
of charity. She touched the
wrist, seeking a pulse, and

A physician was called to re-

Administration Republicans de.
clared the Progressive gathering
had aided the reelection of PreSi
dent Hoover by removing the
threat of third party.
The Democrats saw victory
ahead as a result of the Pro.

liberal agenda was aimed entirely
at criticism of the Hoover Ad-
miniStration. They further saw
the Democrats nominating a lib-
eral candidate, who could win Pro

normal Republican ranks by cap
turing the Republicans left
wing"
There was much difference Of
opinion among Republicans and
Democrats as to the immediate
results of the conference.

"There can be no danger to

Senator Shortridge (R) of Cali

"The Progressive conference

Former Governor Charles A. Templeton attended the inauguration ceremonies at the State Capitol on Wednesday, and he was cor dially greeted by his acquaintances He fol- lowed the reading of the governors message with great deal of interest. and said it was deserving of close consideration. It was Governor Templetons interest in the affairs of bis home city. Waterbury, that was the subject of conversation with friends, and it easy to see that his interest in the gov- ernment of Waterbury engaged his thoughts. He took non political view of the Water bury situation and he could not see why the municipal affairs of his home city should be determined from the point of view of parti- politics. He did not hesitate to commend the course taken by Mayor Hayes. and it was easy to see from his comments that on the whole he saw great deal to commend on the mayors policies. Governor Templeton said that in bis opinion the ideal government of city or town in Connecticut IS that which is not influenced by partisan politics. When Governor Tempeton was chief executive of the state he made an effort to reform the st- uation as it applied to the purchase of supplies,
 and he evolved plan of purchases which he explained to meeting of executives of insti- tutions. He regretted their course in rejecting his recommendations, and the conference was brought to close without the adoption of

plan of cooperation in the making of purchases for state institutions" - Hartford Times.

We honestly believe that most of the solid citizens of Waterbury hold the same opinion as Mir Templeton. They probably view the intrusion of agents of the legislature into our affairs as distinctly uncalled for and an en- croachment upon home rule. This job of dis cipining cities for political reasons has no place in good representative form of gov- ernment. Perhaps there was no intent to dis ciplne Waterbury by the legislative act ereat- ing special charter commission. composed of both democrats and republicans. but eer- tainly the report is being made an instru- ment of politics. There is no question about that. Were conditions today as bad as they are painted probably sentiment would swing strongly towards the commissions re- port. But we have merely to look over the four quarterly reports of the Hayes admnis- tration in l93O and then read the mayor s message to the board of aldermen to realize that new regime is with us.
