TALK OF CURRENCY
WAR AGAIN HEARD
Britain Believed Depressing
Pound Deliberately to
Restore Ratio.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK, August 31.-Gold has
gone up faster in the United States
than it has in England. or, to put it
the other way. the dollar has depre-
ciated in terms of gold more than the
pound sterling has, and there Is the
rub as far as Great Britain is con-
cerned. While both countries were
on the gold standard the par value
Of the pound was $4.86666, figure
representing the ratio Of the then
gold content of the two currencies.
Recently, however. 1t has taken
more than IS to buy q pound, and
that, the British say, is generalization
Of the pound or differentiation of the
dollar They think that this situa-
ton puts them at disadvantage in
world trade.
On this basis, the opinion is gain
ing ground that Great Britain is de-
hberately allowing the pound to de-
preciate, with the intent of restoring
the old relation between it and the
dollar.
In any event, the course Of the
pound has reopened the question of
what the action Of our own Govern
ment might be in case the British
persist in their plan, If it Is their plan.

Pound Stin Falls.

LONDON, August 81 CP).-The
United States dollar, soaring without
interruptions throughout the day,
gained S15 cents to the pound today
to close at 4.9s34 to the pound, the
highest quotation since President
Roosevelt devaluated the dollar in
terms of gold last February.
The French franc made another
record. reaching 74.50 to the pound,
although it reacted slightly to close
at 74-56, as compared to yesterdays
close Of 1906.
Gold set another record, the price
of bar gold rising to 140 shillings lllz
pence ($35. .295) a fine ounce, 61a
pence above yesterdays figure.
Keenness of the demand to secure
f780,000 in gold (about $1,000, ,0OO)
was indicated by the fact that the
price represents premium of "a
pence over the dollar and 4 pence
over the franc.

Delay Of Officials Led To Organization Over Nine Years Ago
HiIl' Grateful to City and to Prominent Men Still Active as We'll as to Those of Beloved Memory;
 Building, Monument of Community Spirit

Xavier Parish and one of the pi- oneers in the, light for new Or- der on Washington Hill, The troll ley service on Baldwin street was one of the many Improvements procured as a result of Father Cur I tin's activities.
 But this Is aside from the com munity house dedication which will be the biggest event In the history of Washington Hill since the out going of the soldiers to the World War. The park question was first introduced into the aldermanic chamber by the late John O'Sul- fivan. As member of the com mittee appointed to look into the matter. the late Alderman P. C.. Egan rendered valuable servlce in this connection, but nothing came of 1t until July 2, 1917 when the aldermen took the matter in. to their own hands and passed the following resolution, -"Voted--- That the mayor for and on be- half of the City of Waterbury be and he is hereby authorized to purchase the Bowe property, 50 called, on sylvan avenue, contain ing approximately ten acres, for the sum of $15,000; and in the event of this amount of money no: being available for this purpose at present, the Mayor is further au- thorized to give to the owners of the above mentioned property bond for the deed until such time as the money is available for this purpose"
 Members registered as favoring the project included Aldermen Gallagher, Griffin, Bergin, Hay nor, Hardgraves, Mulligan, O'Sul- livan and Duggan.
 Original Tract
 The bond for a deed was passed, an appropriation for the amount included in the budget and the transaction was completed in the following year. Very little was done towards getting the land in shape for park purposes for a few years after the purchase except to construct the stone piers at the main enterance to the property. Additions to the original tract makes a territory at present of over twenty-one acres in the park.
 It was this delay that prompted the residents to organize the Wash- ington Park Community Club which will soon observe its tenth anniversary. The club has been active since it came into existance. Patriotic exercises have been held in the park every Fourth of Ju- ly, and it has long since proved it's usefulness to the children of the community. Already some of the Individuals who have aided in bringing about these improve ments have been remembered in a public way. Plaques have been set out in conspicuous places in memory of John J. 'O'Sullivan and Patrick McFadden, and a large tree visible from the highway stands in honor of the late Will liam F. Moher. Also a cannon captured in the overseas war oc- icupies a place near the spot where many of the boys who figured in that great struggle played ball and indu1ged in other sports.

by cutting high card as three teams ended in deadlock with 31 games apiece. The St Patrick's team won the prize when they cut the high est card and the other two teams that figured in the tie were Pete Coughlan's team and William Quills team from Oakville.
 While the men were playing in the lower part of the hall over forty tables were filled with wo- men players in the upper church.
 "Mike" Shea pulled fast one by putting the signature of Pepper Martin on his stub for the draw ing of a live pig and when the winner was announced as Pepper Martin some one in the audience wanted to know if the St Louis Cardinal baseball player was pres ent in the hall. Miss Gertrude De- fancy and Fred Rochon were tho lucky winners of the two door prizes.
 No Scout Meeting
 Due to the minstrel tonight there will be no Scout meeting in the church hall, but all scouts are re- quested to report. in time for the parade tomorrow afternoon.
 Hills to Meet
 All members of the Washington Hill Athletic Association are asked to report at the club rooms tomor- row afternoon at 12:45 o'clock from where they will march to Rye street, the starting point of their division in the parade. The Washington Hill Drum Corps will lead the Hills in the parade.

Milton Joseph Mclaughlin, who will manage the new enterprise, states that due to the factory con- nections and the great buying power of the firm, which operates a chain of stores throughout New England, there will be some un- usual values in mems clothing of fered.
 The stock consists of up-to-date merchandise in mems and young mems suits, overcoats and top coats in latest styles in colors and as a special inducement to the men in this vicinity, garments will be sold for one price.
 A staff of experienced salesmen and tailors has been engaged to render satisfactory service to patrons, and to assure customers of perfectly measured and fitted garments.
 Prospective purchasers of fall clothing are urged to inspect the special bargains offered as an in. troductory policy of the new store. The values offered during the opening of the business are excep- tional and will probably not be repeated.

The dedication of the handsome building on Sylvan avenue .tomor- row will mark the completion of a work which has been a long time under construction. The district was rather slow in securing city improvements, but when they got started they came in rapid suc- cession with the result that Wash ington Hill now compares favor- ably with other parts of thes~city in such things as make for right living. <
 The preliminary step to what might be termed the development of that part of Washington Hill, where the community house stands was taken when the aldermen voc ted to lay out Sylvan avenue to a width of fifty feet, one of the widest thoroughbred in the city with the exception of West Main, East Main, Lower Grand Street, and a few other public ways. Next to this came the bus service, sc- cured largely through the efforts of Mrs Josephine Seidel who tramped through the streets of the district and secured a num- erously signed petition which was brought to the attention of the Connecticut Co. whose representa- tives brushed 1t aside by stating that the street was not in condi- tion for bus service, but held out the hope that they would consider the proposition if the city would make some improvements at dif- ferent points in the roadway. The Board of Public Works at that time consisted of Mayor Guil- foile, and Commissioners Peter Griffin, William F. Beecher, Thom- as [. Flaherty, Joseph Fl. Lawlor, and James A. Phelan. Almost every family on Sylvan avenue was rep- resented at the session and urged favorable action. The board real ized that the petitioners had good case and instructed William B. Kennedy, Superintendent of Streets, to make such repairs on the roadways as would put it in condition for bus service. This was done then followed a meeting before the public utilities commits sion and on January 24, 1924, bus ses appeared on Sylvan avenue to the great relief of factory hands, shoppers. and school children.

 Prior to these events the name of the street was changed from Quarry street to Sylvan avenue. TEis step was taken at the sug- gestion of the late Rev, J. J. Cur tin. the first pastor of St. Francis

eral use and making other inn provements in that part of the city. 1t does no one any injustice to say that not until the election of May or Hayes did the Washington Hill district receive its share of the funds appropriated for public pur- poses. This must not be under stood as crediting Mayor Hayes with giving The Hill' anything to whieh 1t was not justly entitled. If he has made boulevard on Baid- win street, paved or oiled most of the dirt roads in that district, con- structed sewers, sidewalks, and carried to completion other gen. eral work, most of these things should have been done years be- fore. Probably Mayor Hayes, might not have accomplished so much on Washington Hill had 1t not been for the fact that the club members kept him in mind of their needs. On one occasion his honor attended meeting in the Wash- ington Park community club and in the course of his remarks stated that before he retired from the mayors office he would see that a suitable community house was built in Washington park of which the club, all the people of Washington Hill, and the public generally would be proud: some- thing, he said, which will be a benefit to the present generation and those who will come after them. Tn this and other things which Mayor Hayes has promised 10 do, he has kept his word, and Washington Hill feels grateful for his valuable services.
 Residents Grateful
 The city is paying only a part of the cost of the community house, the balance coming from 'the funds made available through the efforts of President Roosevelt with view to .tiding the working people over the depression, so that the national government must be credited for a share of the good work being done on Washington Hill and all over the nation. Were it not for the timely action of President Roosevelt, it is safe 10 state that the working people here and in other places would be en- gagged in a fruitless effort to get bread instead of seeking places of amusement. However that may be, members of the Washington Park community club are grate- full to all who helped bring about the different improvements in their neighborhood, including the park. bathing pool for children, baseball grounds, tennis courts, and last but not least the magnificent com munity house which compares favorabiy with any building of the kind in the state.
