The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-03-18


 ferest but not much more and some havn't even that. There is the Is the large majority who will not b0 directly affected, except in pos gibie decreasing or increasing of taxes to any great extent. This body tGkes an interest in it Just as mont citizens talk an interest j1 q sort, to sec which side will win. Of course their feelings toward the respective candidates or respective arties make them take sides,
 But their interest is only pass ing. The major interest is felt by the politicians concerned whose livelihood or prestige Is affected one way or the other by the cleo ton. And what we arc trying to bring out is that there will be more affected this year than in previous years as far as jobs are concerned.
 Last spring there were war den, six burgesses, two registrars of voters, one tax collector, eight bafliffs, two members of the board of education, three selectmen, two auditors and one treasurer elected. Beside this there were such ap- pointive offices as fire chief, bor- Ough clerk, building inspector, in- aector of fire alarms and police alarms, fire marshal, borough nN- gineer, tree warden, etc, which re- suited after the election and were thus influenced by the selection of one party.
 This year these same positions will again be filled and there will be some others, very important ones from the viewpoint of the per
 
 who wants to get into them.
 one of these is the job of per sonal tax collector. This will come Up for reappointment by the war den.
 This will come up after the sring election as the four-ycar term of Personal Tax Collector James Brennan, democrat, expires this spring. Of course the arty shat Is in usually chooses, regard less of efficiency of the incumbent one of its own party to All the po- aition of the holder is not mem her of that party.
 Welfare Job Open
 Another position, one that has plenty of headaches but just the same usually has good-sized num- ] Der after 1t, and if the democrats lxepeat this year, will certainly have k7enty after 1t is the office of super bfntondent of ubIic welfare. N. Had Hey Cox, republican, holds this of- Ekico now, election being for a two- <year term. The superintendent Is KDicked by the board of welfare Sand if the three democrats on the fboard vote for a democrat, and the khree republicans vote for a'rcpub- saican, the warden usually votes Ewith his party for a member of Shat party, thus breaking the tie. The position full-time assessor IAlso q two-year job, comes up |hgain this spring. Robert Cleary IhOldS the position at resent. The LcfYice of town clerk, held for many lyfars by Louis Schiller. Jr, a re- publican with so many friends in every party that democrats often hndorscd him, will be filled at the Alection. This is q two-year position and israted as one of the best po- ttical plums.
 It pays q salary Of $500 year. ~ from the town but most of the profits comes from fees on licenses, weddings, fishing and dog variey, and other sources. George Fellows
  dates for this position and others may bob up before the caucuses. It ls . foregone conclusion the repub- Means will renominate MT Schiller.
 The terms of Attory John r. Me- Donough and Howard Fl. Bristol as members of the board of educa- tion expire this year. Both are ex- pected to seek reelection. This is for a three-year- term. Henry Free man and Emil Mannweiler were elected for three year terms at the election last year. Next year the terms of Charles F. Rodenbach and Martin T. Gormley will expire. There is no salary attached to this job. In this respect 1t Is like the positions of burgess.
 So it may be seen there will be more at stake than usual this year, no matter who the candidates are.
