SNOW BLANKETS
STATE; CAUSING
BUSINESS TIEUP
[Continned from First Paael

CCOEtiHHed from First Page]
Sunday the jingle of sleighbells was
heard in all parts of the State. 1t
was the first time in many years
that a general snowfall blanketed
all sections. The kiddies, as we'll as
many of the grown-ups, enjoyed
"hitching on" in back of automo-
biles, sleighs and other conveyances
here at Milford. The practice be-
came so general Monday evening,
however, that the police were fore
ed to take a hand and stop this in
the business section because of the
fear that serious injury might befall
some of those indulging in the fun.
While the snowfall was heavy,
there were very few reports of any
great damage to property. The snow
was dry as it fell and did not stick
to trees, which would have caused
them to break.

1t was better time for reminiscing
when Pete. after seeing to the comfort
OF his guests, visited the Freflghter
rolling at her slip alongside the engine
house, to take his masters and pilots
license down.
The Firefghter had gone but seldom,

GRANT DEFENDS
ACTION ON GUARDS
Director of Public Buildings
and Parks Explains
FurIough Plan.

Lieut. Col U. s. Grant. Sd. director
OF public buildings and public parks,
in a letter made public today, defended
his action in basing the administrative
:urlough required of building guards on
retirement and pensions from war serv-
ice received BY some of them.
Col. Grants letter was addressed 70
LLOYD Wymer. commander of Federal
Post. Disabled American Veterans. which
had protested Col. Grants action. The
Spanish War Veterans also have adopt
ed resolution IN protest. The Dis
abled American Veterans. who COM
planned that no account was taken Of
income received from Other than Gov
eminent sources. are meeting this aft
ernoon at o'clock in the Commercial
National Bank to consider Col. Grants
letter.
Explaining that the guard appropri-
alton had been cut to point where
21 per cent of the Office pay roll would
have to be saved. Col Grant said that
way was sought that would work the
least possible hardship
Text of Letter.
There are considerably more than
so per cent of the force who are receiv-
ing retired paw or pensions for Army
Navy or Marine Corps service" wrote
Col Grant Because Of this fact it
was thcuPht advisable to apply the re-
duction on basis Of tctal income from
Federal sources. This method necessi-
tated a money forfeiture equal to l3 per
cent of the total income of each man.
which, while causing some hardship,
would keep all Of the personnel on
living wage. 1t was a question of fol-
lowing this procedure: making the en-
tire reduction on pay of men with in
comes other than Office salary or apply
ing the q per cent to the Office pay
only of the entire force.
1T was realized that those who had
been receiving additional income for
number of years had established stand
ards of living and assumed obligations
in keeping with their total income and
that it would probably occasion consid-
cradle loss and hardship to this group
if they were required to stand the entire
reduction. 1t was also realized that
reduction CT 81 per cent on the office
salary (averaging about S1OO month";
of the men with no other source of in
come would reduce their monthly wage
below a livable minimum and place
them and their families in a destitute
position. The method of applying the
reduction on total income from Federal
sources was. therefore adopted, with the
definite belief that a more equitable
distribution could not be made.
Saving Declared Made.
1T may BE- of interest to you to
know that of the 88 members of the
guard force who are on the pension
roll a material saving is being made
by the system in effect for all but 7
seven of them, whose annual pensions
range from 5000 to $1,000 over what
would have been necessary if the re-
duction had been uniformly applied on
a basis of Office salary only. There can
be no question. l think. but that this
is accomplishing the greatest good for
the greatest number"
Col. Grant concluded his letter with
the declaration that there was no in
tention or desire to discriminate against
veterans.
