City May Abolish
 Fire, Police Boards
New York Plan May Be Adopted Here With One COnl-
 missioner "The Boss" in Each Department

Abolishment of the local fire and police boards and the establish ment of two commissionerships will be proposed in the next session of the legislature for the city of Wa terbury, it is authentically re- ported. Under the proposed bills, now understood to be being con- sidered, the fourteen commissioners on both boards would be discharg- ed.
 An amendment to the present city charted will be necessary to bring this change and it is under stood that this is the plan under consideration. Fire and Police Chairman Harry Minor would be discharge but he would be named police commissioner.
 The post of fire commissioner, according to rumors, would go to Attorney Martin Parker.
 A La New York
 By Establishing such a system, Waterbury, it is argued by those in support of the plan, would be following the set-up now in force in the city of New York.
 The police commissioner would have the power of hiring and fir ing all those under him, even the superintendent, deputies and so- forth if the charter is changed. The same powers as they pertain to the fire department would go to the new proposed fire commissioner.
 At one time, under the adminis- tration of former Mayor Francis P. Guilfoile, the latest, instance. there was one board handling the affairs of both the fire and police department.

should handle the affairs. System Changed
 Former Mayor Guilfoile, then in power, camplied with the special legislative act by naming two boards, one a fire board and the other police board, each body made up of the same body of men. When Mayor Hayes assumed office he stepped away from this plan and named two distinct staffs to the fire and police boards but picked Attorney Minor as his chair man of both boards.
 Now it is understood, it is pro- posed to do away with boards and name Commissioner Minor the po- lice commissioner and Attorney Parker of the fire board to the position of fire commissioner. Ap- pointments in each department will go through the respective chair man.

to govern stock exchange operations.
Result-it has emerged from Senate
debate with sharply increased ap-
preparation, something that the writ
err advocated in this letter over a
month ago and something which will
now be accepted by the House almost
unanimously. 1t has one of the big

Beside and behind the lines, air
defense and air mail have been the
main topic of conversation, official
and otherwise, during the week. In
quiries in the Senate in two House
committees, in executive offices, have
pervaded every phase of the problem.
The outcome still is difficult of pre-
diction, and yet it seems rather clear
that the Army Air Corps is in for
several months of operation of the
air mail lines, that the greedy and
selfish air trust cannot escape early

Minnesota's interest in the increas-

that Colonel Charles March, late

sequent distress cannot qualify for
the usual seed loans from the fed

Another farm problem of general
interest came forward during the
week when the agriculture commit

of the so-called Bankhead bill which
provides for controlled production Of
cotton by enforcing a quota of mar

objects of criticism are by no means

and that as a result a wholesale re-

the government is trying to see to
it that the innocent employees in the
air mail and aircraft industries are
not the victims of something over
which they had no control, and that
they will continue in employment.
And public sentiment is behind them
in their determination to sift the en-
tire unsavOry mess to the very bot
tom.
Various departmental executives,
spurred by representatives from
drought areas, are still anxiously
studying the problem of continuing
the emergency relief program in these
areas in the way of grain for live
