The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-03-20

Considerable criticism is being aroused by the abrupt action of the legislature in overrid- ing Governor Cross's veto of the public utili- ties bill. The Hartford Courant. which has been more than fair to the chief executive in approval of his appointses and his policies remarks that Had the legislature been more tsctful in its procedure. its action on the veto might be more heartily commended. '. The gubernstorial veto is at best weak instru- ment of government in Connecticut. but to refuse it even scant consideration is to destroy its usefulness altogether Inasmueh as the purpose of the veto is to give the legislature an opportunity for second thought concern ing measures which it has adopted the legis- lature might at least have given the veto in question days consideration. Courtesy to the executive office. if nothing else. should have argued against such preeipitate action as was taken. -

Tree-Planting

The LivingTree Guild of New York City is an organization devoted to tree-planting by individuals. It provides hardy varieties of trees at low cost. with instruction for their care and suggestions as to their many uses. It is said that the Guild does not compete with the decorative planting stock of nurseries but that the hardy trees 1t recommends afford people method of learning the fascination of tree growing. Tn the six years since the Guild began operation 65.000 persons from ali over the United States have obtained trees and plants from it.
 Interest in tree planting and tree protee- ton has been increasing in recent years. Home owners. however small their lots. usually set out tree or two. sometimes evergreens. often fruit tree or shade tree. It is a movement well worth eultivating. Reforestation work on big scale develops slowly. With all OUT talk about its importance. less is done about it than we realize. Perhaps there will be greater interest in public forestry work in general as result of the growing private interest in trees.

CONNECTICUT GAINS
(Hartford Times)

(Hartford Times)
 By force of an act which passed congress Q few days ago Connecticut will come soon into possession of the Fort Griswold property at Gro ton which has hitherto belonged to the government as q military reserva- ton. The tract runs to several acres In addition to the actual site of the old fort in which Colonel William Ledyard and his heroic company met martyrdom when Arnold burned New London in 17S1, and covers tho west ern side of Fort hill down to low bluff in the rear of dwellings on the river bank. Tn years gone by q Iva ter battery was maintained there. armed with huge smooth-bore can non, now archaic and for the most part long since removed. A right of way appurtenant to the property connects with the state highway through Groton borough. With rela- lively small expense the entire area can now be transformed Into a slightly park. Tn the past 1t has re- Bembled q barren pasture, ungraded, except as to a portion, and un- adorned, except at the crest within the precincts of the Revolutionary memorial. The improvement un- doubtedly will be made and add much to the attractiveness of pa- triotfc shrine. the memory of which deserve perpetuation. The federal government has reserved the priv Jlege of recapturing the tract in case military necessity shall ever arise, but that eventuation is extremely fm- probable.

Little Old New York

Custer proceedings are being instituted against Mayor "Jimmie" Walker the dapper little man who is now resting in the far West While the action isn't public it probably will attract considerable attention, because New York is the center of the nations life and be- cause Mayor Walker is one of the most inter- esting of our Americsa characters. We notice that the letter to Governor Roosevelt seeking Mayor Walkers removal is signed by two elergymen, one Dr. John Haynes Holmes, the other Rabbi Stephen s. Wise.
 It was just little over two years ago that eminently respectable people were warning members of certain denomination and par tieularly their cergymen not to mix politics Ex-Governor Alfred E. Smith for the presi- deney How well we recall that campaign and the bigotry that the ensuing election revealed. We are not insinuating that bigotry is re- sponsible for this campaign against Mayor Walker. Far from it. But we do think that if politics and religion didn't mix in the case of Al Smith and the presidency no more do they mix in this episode.
 Maybe there is some basis for some of the charges of bribery. and corruption that are now being Haunted in the headlnes of metro politan newspapers. But it's natural in city the size of New York. We wonder. though, if proportionately it isn't greater in cities ten times smaller than the metropolis of the na- ton. A handful of members of the police force which has between ten. and twenty thousand members are found to have slipped into error. We don't call that a bad record when we know of entire police forces being corrupt On the whole we think Governor Roosevelt would be wise to dismiss the charges as trivial.

The Tax Striker

The million-dolIar estate of Colonel W. A.. Collier of Memphis. Tenn. is no more That is. as private property. It was bought in the other day by the city and the state. acting jointly to reimburse themselves for taxes. penalties interest and court costs ex- tending over period of 25 years.
 To the fiery colonel taxes were poison. He absolutely refused to pay them. fought the tax authorities until his death. then left his tax feud to his son as sacred heritage. The son was true to the trust. He fought to the last ditch. The property. at the sheriff $ sale, went for S422.512.27. which covered the public charges against it and left margin of $l.458.0l for the owners This tale seems like parable, in view of the present widespread hostility to taxes and the threats of taxpayers strike" in many communities. Sheriffs may yet get into the real estate busi- ness in big way.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-03-20
Evading The Issue

State Finance Commissioner Hail is of the opinion that the state cannot buy or take over supervision of the Waterbury Isolation hos pital as a unit of the state tuberculosis sana- toria system because of its location. A hear ing on bill introduced by Representative Thoms at the beginning of the legislative ses- sion is scheduled to be held today. While this bill does not propose that the state assume management of or purchase the isolation hos pital it does provide that the state reimburse fhe city or the Waterbury Anti T tuberculosis League the same amount per inmate as is now allowed for care of patient in state sanatorium.
 We don't know just what arguments local officials intended to use at the hearing in Hartford today but it occurs to us that per hsps the situation isn't clear to everybody right here in Waterbury. The isolation hos pital as city institution has taken care of but one case of contagious disease It has been drain upon the city treasury. A few years ago the Anti tuberculosis petitoned the board of health for permission to utilize one wing of the hospital as waiting station for tubereular patients who were seeking admis- sion to state sanatoria. This was readily granted and the hospital has been so utilized since.
 The league pays for the maintenance and care of those patients, financially unable to do so themselves. It has never been reimbursed by the state for this work. which. of course. is purely voluntary. Yet it is doing not only the city but the state distinct service in tu. berculosis relief work. While the isolation hospital may never be picked for the site of sanatorium. at least it could continue to serve as a waiting station for Waterbury and vicinity. Our state ssnatoria will continue to be overerowded for many years to come. Pa tients who require expert medical care. rest. and the proper diet to combat the dread dis ease they have contracted must wait their turn to be admitted to sanatoria. They can not receive the proper care at home. Hospitali- zstion is necessary.
 However. the Waterbury Anti Tuberculosis League finds its funds inadequate to care for the twenty or more patients it may bospisalizs. It has other needs for money in addition to the Isolation hospital In the last year t has been forced to call upon the public in be- tween its annual appeal to the public for fpnds That cannot % on for many more yean ss it becomes harder to raise the amount necessary 10 carry on the leagues work.

The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-03-20

Pennington is all excited over the prospect of detouring the heavy traffic that passes over its main street. At hearing before the leg. islative committee on roads rivers. and bridges in Hartford this week many residents appeared in favor of bill which would create high. way cutoff to the east of the village on the Pennington Planville road. Villagers claim that the rustic simplicity and beauty that has long been theirs will soon vanish if roaring motor cars are to make speedway of the main street. Robert Porter Keep. head of the famous Miss Porers School for Girls main- tained that the future existence of the insti- tuition is endangered by the highway which biseets the school property. many of the buildings being on one side of the street and the rest on the other. The town has already raised S60, 1000 to aid the project and can get at the very lowest S75.000. so officials stated at the hearing. With such cooperation we don't see any reason why the project should not be approved and the state highway de- partment requested to proceed with the job. But we wonder even if cutoff will end all traffic. Of course it will be used entirely by people intent merely on reaching Hartford. but Sunday drivers prone to loiter over the roads will probably be as troublesome as ever to Pennington.
