Waterbury's board of relief would be eliminated if State Tax Commissioner William M. Blodgett had his way. Yesterday he ad- dressed meeting of the assessors of New Haven county in New Ha- ven and in discussing the taxation system in Connecticut declared that "a board of relief is about as necessary to a town or city as six wheels to a wagon"
 The local board of relief consists of three members who are elected every two years at the regular city election. Persons dissatisfied with the valuations placed on their property by the board of assessors may appeal from the figures and appear before the board of relief. Under the law the board of relief

at The Democrat office this morn ing he expressed extreme pleasure at the generous response.
 "I am looking forward with keen anticipation to producing this Wa terbury Frolic," he said. From the nasty examination I have giv- en the applications, I would say that there is great deal of talent in this city.
 Personally, I prefer to work with amateurs. They are more in- tent, more serious, and they try their very hardest to work with you and help you put on truly great show.
 1T would like to see an even greater number of entries for the Frolic, and so those who want to get into the show and haven't found time to mail in their appli- cations, may come to Garden Hall tonight and we'll make out the application for them there."
 MT Hyde was undecided on his arrival to-day as to just what sort of numbers he plans to stage. "Ill know better after I see what sort of talent we will have to work with," he said.

brilliancy makes 1t easily recogniz- able. The word 'Capella' itself means she-goat. We would hardly be likely to name one of the most beautiful stars in the entire sky after so lowly an animal but to the ancients, as still to a large part of the world to-day, the she-goat was an important source of food and thus worthy of an eminent place in the sky. Three fainter stars close by are known as the Kids The he-goat is present in the heav- ems as Capricornus, the Ram, one of the zodiacal consultations. now lying far in the southwestern sky.
 Capella is the fifth brightest star in the entire heavens, very nearly as bright as blue-white Vega, in Lyra, visible over the western hori.' zon, the brightest of all the stars lying north of the celestial equa- tor. Capella is in reality much bigger star than Vega for its lurn- mostly is over 160 times that of the sun; it is much further away than Vega, in fact, nearly twice as far. Capella's distance from us Is nearly fifty hght-years. It Is in- teresting. too, to note that if Ca bella were only of solar size and brightness then 1t would appear to. us as e star of the fifth magni- tude or just about on the border line of visibility by the unaided eye. t.' .

ton will be made out for them there.
 Director Hyde also announced to-day that he will hold two re- hearsal sessions on Sunday, and will at that time continue his task of selecting members of the cast of the Frolic.
 The rehearsals will be held from 2 o'clock to 5 o'clock Sunday aft ernoon, and from o'clock to 10 o'clock Sunday night. They VIII also take place in Garden Hall.
 Golden Opportunity
 Any resident of Waterbury and it's vicinity Is eligible to tryout for a part in The Democrat Frolic and avail themselves of an opportunity of f,developing their talent and win ming one of the big capital prizes prominent among which are sing ing and dancing school scholarship awards.
 Following closely on the heels of@the announcement of q voice scholarship award by Madame Helen Romanoff, internationally known dramatic soprano and sing ing teacher, and Q dancing scholar sf1fp award by Ivan Tarasoff, fam ous New York ballet master, came word to-day that Harry DeMuth. onH of Broadway's most prominent acrobatic and speciality instructors, had also decided to offer scholar shfp to his school to the "Frolick- er1 selected for that honor by Di- rector Hyde.
 Director Hyde, on whom rests the sole responsibility of selecting thE members of the Frolic cast wiio are to receive these awards. stated on his arrival in Waterbury to-day that of all the amateur pro- d,ietlons he has staged, never be- fofe have the opportunities and awards to the participants been as assworthwhile and as helpful as th6y will be in The Democrat Frolle.
 Predicts Great Show
 It Is the opinion of the director, judging from the number of appli- cations and the spirit which this entire effort is being conducted, that this show will be one of the greatest he has ever staged.
 1t was indicated to-day that the thfee awards already offered to the most talented "F'rolickers' may be augmented next week by others of a more local nature. For this req soff watch The Democrat closely fof all details of the Frolic.
 If you haven't already enrolled in .the Frolic cast. don't forget to appear at the first rehearsal to- night. There are only few simple rules to follow if you want to be- cotne a Frolic cast member.
 You must be 16 years of age or over, you must be able to attend rehearsals for one full week prior to the presentation of the show at the Fox-Poli Palace theater. and yoh must possess some talent as singer, dancer or musician, or you must have a good figure.
 The Democrat and the Fox-Poli Palace theater invites the parents and guardians of the applicants to attend the rehearsals. realizing what e pleasure 1t will be for them to see their daughter or son taught the rudiments of the stage as 1t is taught on Broadway by one of the most competent directors in the copntry to-day.

recognized or, rather, ignored by the Cross regime; New Haven, as q result of Tuesdhys election, Is now to be run by a democratic mayor but he is the leader of the ex- Mayor Fitzgerald faction and, therefore, not likely to bend an ear to pleadings of the Tone forces In the Elm City; Hartford, also as a result of Tuesdays election, will be run by 8 democrat but one put in office by Q strong backing offered by Attorney Spellacy who also is not fayorably inclined to- wards the Cross handling of affairs; Bridgeport also went democratic once more last Tuesday but by the smallest majority of the four big Connecticut cities and this IS the only big community favoring the Cross regime.
 Going back beyond the recent election, further analysis of the state shows that Meriden is demo- Francis Maloney, a member of the Spellacy Fitzgerald Walsh ''old guard" faction. He will not be expected to direct any too hearty thrusts in behalf of the new guard" In New London, where city manager form of government prevails, Alton Minor Is mayor. He is considered a new guard" man.
 These are the largest cities of the state with the exception of New Britain but the Hardware City cannot be taken into the analysis because the adminis- tration there Is controlled by the republicans at the present time.
 Cross Leaders Worried
 Therefore, when the spring con- vention of the democratic party takes place to elect delegates to the national convention, the big cities of the state, having large representation, will be mostly in- clined towards the Spellacy- Fitz- gerald ideas, 1t Is expected, hence the worry on the part of the Cross leaders.
 And in the meantime a new chairman of the democratic state central committee must be chosen. No date for meeting at which such action may be taken has yet been announced. The reason for the delay now is obvious. Never. theless, delay as they may, 1t is known that the "old guard" will show surprising strength at the central committee meeting and stand an excellent chance of dic- tating who the new chairman will be, despite efforts on the part of Labor Commissioner Joseph Tone to put us many state central com mittee members as possible on his staff.
 Patronage Poorly Distributed
 Out -of-state democratic leaders are watching the Connecticut situa- tion with interest and are deploring the fact that when the Cross regime was started steps were not taken to wipe out factional trou- bles by recognizing all leaders, whether they were of the "old guard" or of the new guard" and by distributing patronage more evenly through the state without favoring some districts heavily and ignoring others. Waterbury, for instance, was most noticeably ignored, as is we'll known.

RESORT WATER
 TO BE LIFTED
 UP 5000 FEET
Springs to Supply Hotel on Rim of Grand
 Canyon

Flagstaff, Ariz, (UP)-The gi- gantic engineering task of bring ing water from springs near the bottom of the Grand Canyon to supply the tourist resort on the south rim will be started soon.
 Water will be pumped from Garden Creek. 3,075 feet under the canyon rim. to the park head quarters and tourist hotel. M. R. Tillotson. superintendent of the Grand Canyon National Park, has announced. The project will be completed in four months.
 Contracts were awarded to a Los Angeles firm recently to lay almost two miles of five-inch steel pipe from the springs to the top of the canyon walls. The project will be one of the most unique at- tempted in Arizona, because of the dangerous route laid out for the pipe line and the great pres sure necessary to force the water more than a half mile almost straight upward.
 Since the establishment of the resort on the rim of the Grand Canyon many years ago, water has been shipped by railroad tank cars for 100 miles. Flagstaff and Del Rio. Ariz, have been the sources.
 Erection of a S,000-foot trans- portation cable, extending from a point near the springs to the vil- iage on the canyon brink, will be- gin operations. The cableway IS to be in four sections, with trans fer facilities at each station for safety purposes.
 The giant 17-stage pumps fore ing the water from the springs with be electrically driven. Three separate conduits for transmitting the electrical power will follow the routing. of the pipeline.
 This is the second huge water project undertaken at the Grand Canyon. A similar system was in- stalled by q railroad company on the north rim several years ago.
