Let's All Start Complaining

The Bridgeport Times-Star in its edi-
ton of last Saturday recalls editorially
little matter that gave legislators some
cause for comment during the recent ses-
sion. The editor of the Bridgeport paper
brought up the matter of the state taking
over maintenance of the Yellow Mill and
Stratford Avenue bridges in the above
city, as well as portions of the through
auto route in the city. When bill calling
for such maintenance by the State High
way Department was being considered
this spring similar attempts were made by
legislators from other cities to have routes
in their communities likewise included.
Most of them failed, but the Yellow Mill
bridge route did get into the trunk line
system and there was much ado about
socialist favor being sought by political
groups anxious of feathering their own
nests. However, we must remember that
right here in Waterbury two years ago
the city was relieved of the onus of MAIN
tanning Thomaston avenue by placing 1t
IA the trunk line system. There may have
been as much reason for making the
Bridgeport streets and bridges state-main-
tanned as there certainly was for Thomas
Ton ay8nue.
The question SINNERS down 10 where
tiiy maintenance begins and state ends.

Press Comment
HE ENRICHED HIS CALLING
Bridgeport Times-Star).

Rev. Henry E. Kelly is to make
his advent tomorrow as rector of
st. MichaePs Episcopal church in
Litchfield. Reserved the parish of
st. George of this city for a quar-
ter of a century; and in his leave
taking one week ago he displayed
most admirable restraint in his
philosophical observations of the
trials and tribulations of pastor
and flock in a growing urban par
ish.
Into every movement identified
with the welfare Of Bridgeport
and its citizens during the past
twenty-five years, this Jealous pas
tor entered Fundamentally. When
the Bridgeport contingent made
ready for the preliminary instruc-
ton preparatory to their embarka-
ton for foreign battlefields he was
among those who took hold and
rendered yeoman's service.
Throughout the duration of the
conflict, including the period he
stoned officer of the A. e. F., per-
forming the duties of chaplain IN
training camps, he never wavered
in his keen and active interest in
the welfare movements undertake
en- to benefit the buddies in the
trenches and their dependents at
home.
He believed in and advocated a
more equitable distribution of this
worlds goods among the pro-
ducers holding it to be an eco
nomic truism that the creation Of
wealth was due alike to the labor
er in the field, the fabricator in
the mill, the inventor in the labo-
ratory and the investor in the
realm of finance. Like the One
whose gospel he preached he be-
lieved the laborer to be worthy Of
his hire.
Rector Kelly accomplished much
for the spiritual and civic needs
of his people during his pastorate
at st. Georges. His good deeds
were not confined to the limita-
lions of his parochial lines nor to
Representatives of any one creed
or race. He was a worthy servant
OF Him in whose service he en-
listed and in his new mission he is
destined to enrich the vineyard
even as he did here.

It's a puzzling question to answer. But
speaking from the viewpoint of city
dweller we should say that the state gets
away with murder" in forcing towns to
bear the burden of maintaining streets
that are often used by more motorists
from outside the town than within it. We
don't think that the issue will ever be de-
cided until the state turns back to. the
city some portion of the money collected
for motor fines for maintenance of such
thoroughfares as constitute combinations
of regular state roads. We are surely
headed in this direction and must recog-
nize the need of this step eventually, SO
why not now?

Our Stock Flies High

Thanks to the guiding genius of Con-
troller Daniel j. Leary Waterbury has
been able to secure temporary loan OF
S1,250000 at an interest rate of Al per
cent less than one-half of one per cent.
1t is the lowest rate ever charged on
loan f1oated by the City of Waterbury and
naturally officials are rather proud OF
Controller Leary's negotiations. However,
it is not surprising that such low figure
was obtained, as loans obtained by Mr..
Leary in the last few years have steadily
been declining.
No doubt the claim might be advanced
that this is solely due to present day con-
ditions in the money market On the other
hand there is the conviction in local circles
that Controller Leary has created for
Waterbury in the banking circles of New
York, Boston, and other large cities
reputation of the first water. The clty's
credit has withstood the test of the worst
days of the depression admirably. Our
ventures into the municipal borrowing
field of recent months are met with ready
responses.
It is also worth comment that the city
went one month without the necessity OF
floating loan just now. Early in June the
last temporary loan of $1,750,000 was
paid off, thus relieving the municipality
of the interest burden for thirty days.
With Al per cent interest bill the city
will not be forced to pay such large
amount for the months that the loan
will probably run. All of which is proof
positive that Waterbury is not as bad off
as other communities nor quite so bad as
she is painted by her best-known critics.

pioneer settlement in Bushnell Park.
Replicas of the first meeting house, an

cate of the house in which Thomas Hook
err lived. In certain respects these houses
will be almost copies of houses that can
now be seen in Waterbury's Settlers
Village We have the early dug-out built
