 Property Inventories !

News from Washington that money is no longer available for conducting real property inven- tories in various parts of the state will not affect the several censuses of that kind being taken here, it was reported today. Daniel BoWes, assistant supervisor said that he received no word of halt for the local surveys, and that as far as he knows they will be continued.
 It is probable that a manufac- turers' census will be begun on a statewide scale in the near future. Senator Augustine Lonergan has been informed by the department of commerce that such a plan, de- tails of which are now being worked out in Washington.
 There are approximately 100 persons employed on local census projects, this city having been chosen as one of the 63 test cities in the nation. The projects have thus far enabled $12,OO0 in wages to be paid out in Waterbury.
 The limitation of the CWA pro- gram caused the department of commerce to inform Senator Lon ergan that money is no longer dNallaDlc lOE COHOuCLllS real property inventories in Connecti- cut. Approval had been sought for real property inventory in New Haven similar to the one be- ing taken here. Localities were advised, however, that if. they wished to begin such a program themselves the department would give the necessary supplies and materials.

Public Education in Thrift Suggested by "Y" Speaker

Usury, both legalized and illegal, was attacked at the Y. M. c. A. Sunday forum yesterday by James E. Moran, member of the Wilby high school faculty and chairman of the credit union committee of the state teachers association.
 He explained the credit union was organized by the teachers as a means of promoting thrift and eliminating unfair practices in the credit field. It will promote pub lie education in thrift, he stated, and cause a change of tactics by loan sharks if adopted on a large scale.
 MT Moran urged that protection be given the unemployed and un- der-employed so that when they get work they will not be forced to borrow from legal or illegal usurers.
 He proposed a form of cooper ative banking to enable the aver age man to secure small loans at rates comparable to those which 2 commercial bank gets from its cus- toners.

BATTLE TO OPEN
 ON ST LAWRENCE
 WATERWAY PLAN
Roosevelt Regime May Force Project Through
 There Is Opposition
By H. o. THOMPSON

(Onlte0 FreSS SCdu correspondent
 Washington, March 12-UP)- The senate votes this week on rat ification of the St Lawrence water way treaty and the situation to-day was developing all the suspense of a melodramatic thriller.
 Victory or defeat for the admin istration hinges on a few votes. The strategy of the Roosevelt forces is believed to revolve around acceptance of one or more reservations offered by opponents of the pact in order to win their support. Unless the administration wins these votes, leaders saw little hope of ratification.
 No two rolls of the senate have indicated the same result. Those opposing the treaty claim its cer- tain defeat, while those pressing for ratification hint at strategic moves which they believe will win for their cause.
 The vote is scheduled for We'd nesday evening.
 The project for a 27-foot water way which would link the midwest by water with the great ports of the world has been developing for years. The treaty now before the senate is the result of negotiations with Canada which began Nov. IA. 1881, and were concluded July IS, 1882.
 While refusal to ratify the treaty would be reversal for the Roose- welt administration, it would like wise be a defeat for the efforts of MT Roosevet's predecessor, Her bert Hoover.
 In brief, the waterway, consfd- cred by many to be of more i'm. portance than the Panama Canal, would provide a path for ocean, going steamers from Duluth to the mouth of the St. Lawrence water way, distance of 2,S00 miles.
 Connected with the development of the seaway is a project for de- veloping 5,000.000 horsepower of hydro electric energy, divided be- tween the United States and Canada.
 The cost of the entire waterway and power project has been esti- mated at $550,O0O,O00, although opponents of the treaty claim it will be more than that.
 Opposition to the treaty comes primarily from Chicago interests, which fear that it will result in lowered water level of the Illinois driver and injure the water con- nection between the Lakes and the Golf of Mexico.
 New York interests fear the ef- feet of diversion of European freight from New York to the St Lawrence, Mayor FiorellO H, La Guardia of New York, however, gave his support to the treaty last week. The two New York senators. Robert F. Wagner and Royal S. Copeland, oppose it.

arduous work, have been viewed during the past several weeks by persons who declared them to be excellent from an artistic stand point of view.
 The Metropolitan Furniture company, after agreeing to display the pictures. surprised William M. Harris, chairman of the Mutual Aid this morning by declaring that it will award a prize to the person giving the best title to the central painting in the exhibit.
 The picture in question has been on display in Chairman Harris of- flee for over a week. It is the art ist's interpretation of a family in which the wage earner has recent ly lost his employment. Every de- tail of the picture, including the expressions of the father and mother, the contentment of the children and family pets and the picture of the Emancipator Lin- coin on the wall, all enter into the story which the artist intends to draw.
 This picture, as other pictures in the group to be displayed, are all the property of the Mutual Aid Unemployment.

M. Harris. At the same time the financial report released by Treas urer Lewis Reed showed a drop in the balance on hand of over &z,- 500. The increase to the relief list is the first in three weeks. The drop in the treasury balance has been noted ever since the collections on pledges were dropped month ago.
 The increase in the relief list and the continued drop in the bal ance was taken today as further evidence of the necessity of the need of resuming pledge collec- tions on April 1st and the floating of the drive for new pledges to take place of those which will expire on May 1st. Today Charles J. AL len, chairman of the new pledge drive, was busy setting up his var ious subcommittee. It was stated that this drive will be the most intense in the history of the Mu- tual Aid.
 CWA men are being laid off weekly. On March 31st they must all be laid off. The men will have to go back on the Mutual Aid un- less they find other employment. Hence the drive for new pledges.
 The balance of the Mutual Aid last Monday was $3S,171.09. To- days balance is only $33,535.67, a drop in seven days of S4,635.42.
 Receipts during the past week amounted to only s2,661.52/while disbursements totalled $7,296.94.
 The number on the relief list as of today shows a total of 797. The total last Monday was TIT. There are in addition 34 cases approved but not yet placed.
