The Waterbury Democrat. [volume] (Waterbury, Conn.) 1917-1946, 1935-08-16

In last nights edition we mentioned
the fact that the Merritt Parkway had
just been suggested as .$20,000,000 road
in place of the $15,000000 and $27, 000,-
900 projects mentioned of recent weeks
The sum is quite evidently compromise
but such one that will guarantee the
state of roadway over which it should
be pleasure and joy forever to glide.
Having had great deal to say about the
negotiating back and forth on this park
way it is probably only fair tonight to
outline some of the important features
that seem to go hand in hand with the re-
vised plans.
The road, as everyone knows, will
traverse Fairfield county in a general
east-west direction. 1t will strike the
New York state line at point somewhere
near Portchester connecting with an ex-
tension of the Hutchinson River Parkway.
It's eastern terminus will be in the vicin-
ity of Shelton or Stratford. The road
will be four lines in width separated by
parkway. There will be no grade cross
inRs or intersections. OF the $20,00O,0 900,
estimated as the cost 100000 is ex-
uected to be secured as federal grant,
he remainder to be procured by sale of
county bonds, which in turn will be re-
|ixed By annual payments made by the
s<8te Highway Department.
The road will be 81 miles in length and
|Hunfnte IL construction. Now there are
miIe6 a right of way to be bought and
- purchase win be completed as soon
The Waterbury Democrat. [volume] (Waterbury, Conn.) 1917-1946, 1935-08-16
Cancer From City Smoke?

A British physician, seeking the expla-
nation for the great increase in cases OF
cancer of the lung in British industrial
cities, raises the question whether it is not
caused by smoke. Coal smoke naturally
carries quantities of coal tar in minute
particles. 1t is well known that coal tar
clinging to the skin of people or animals
is likely to produce cancer on the spot
affected, if allowed to remain. It natur-
ally occurs to the inquirer that the same
effect may be produced in lung tissue.
Similar conjectures have been made by
medical scientists in this country, though
some have suggested the dust from tarred
or asphalt pavements rather than coal
smoke. Many have thought that the
growing use of coal tar and it's allied
products in many forms might explain the
great increase in cancer of various types.
If coal smoke really proves to be the chief
cause, or one of the causes, there will be
another powerful argument for smoke
reduction through the use of modern
combustion methods.
The Waterbury Democrat. [volume] (Waterbury, Conn.) 1917-1946, 1935-08-16
Everybody Knows 1t.

Twice now within the short space OF
three days have state papers given edi-
torial attention to the fact that Mayor
Frank Hayes of Waterbury is recognized
as leading figure in state politics. Both
the Hartford Times and Meriden Journal,
the former Monday the latter Wednesday,
gave considerable space to recital OF the
incidents now occurring in this city and
which are only proof of the fact that the
higher you go in politics the more stones
there are hurled at you and the more
people to hurl them.
1t was highly significant that the edl-
torial writer on the Times says, Hence,
his being reelected or defeated in Water
bury for a fourth term as mayor bears
some relation in the popular mind to his
prestige as candidate for high state
office. - And who would be more
anxious to bring about his downfall so
that when it came time to nominate DEM
ocratic candidates on the state ticket in
1886 His Honor might have some blemish
on his political record? Who, we ask
you?
Again the Times says, mayor Hayes is
q veteran campaigner. He has won out
standing victories and the fact that he has
been three times elected mayor of the
Brass City speaks we'll for the reputation
he has built up as a public administrator.
49," And here we get at the meat of the
situation, quite apparent even as far away
as Hartford - Further developments
will disclose whether the opposition to Mr.
Hayes denomination is based on popular
change of attitude toward him or is rather
artificially promoted by those who aspire
to public office and who have not been
able to get recognition from the Hayes
organization. -
The editorial writer on the Journal
views the local situation in this manner,
There is a party scrap on in the Brass
City, according to newspaper reports and
some on the inside profess to see an at
tempt to check the Hayes progress to the
gubernatorial chair. Politicians are like
that, working while the voters sleep, and
outside aid would be readily given any
group which might oppose Hayes and his
associate leaders who have been in munic-
ipal control for Is years. Mayor Hayes
completes three terms this October and
there are democrats who would be willing
to join with republicans in opposing him
and the powerful organization built up
around him"
And then again the Meriden writer
shows his knowledge of political affairs in
the state by remarking, "In any event
there is certainty of an attempt at this
early date to queer Lieutenant Governor
Hayes, if possible, by denting his Water
bury halo. He is not in the good graces
of the Gross Democrats who have their
doubts about the governor running again
and hence would like to prick the Hayes
boomlet prior to the state convention.
!. ;" Good democrats of Waterbury who
believe they are following the right course
in opposing the present administration
might be bit surprised to know that the
rest of the state knows what they appar-
emily don't. They are being used as a
certain type of fish of familiar name to
all Of us.
The Waterbury Democrat. [volume] (Waterbury, Conn.) 1917-1946, 1935-08-16

as the first series of bonds can be hoated.
The issue for this purpose win be APP
proximately $3,O00,000. Construction
work will then start in December. Each
OF the two traffic lanes will be 26 feet in
width, the intervening parkway being 81
feet. At one time the right of way strip
was to be 300 feet. That may have been
changed, but ultimately the parkway may
consist of eight traffic lanes.
Interesting figures submitted in con-
nection with the project are the fact that
every crossing elimination will cost $7O,-
600. Those are only town roads, though.
Where state roads intersect the cost is
put at 100000 apiece. Stone facing
every bridge is $4,000 item. Rustic
rails have been proposed along the route.
That means 100000. To make long,
fat slopes on the cuts and fills, such as
would produce a pleasing parkway APP
pearance" the cost will be $2,200,000. To
light the entire parkway would mean an
other million, but now it is proposed that
only the 72 bridges be lighted at $1,000
each. The 81 miles of right of way al
ready acquired have cost $4,311 ,654. So
all in all the parkway is going to be pretty
palatial. Almost too good to ride over,
but if we don't do that the statell never
be able to pay for it. And incidentally it's
the state, not the county that will pay for
the road, even though the county does
float the bonds.

Old, Young, New, Old
All Democrats

In connection with the times
editorial there Is one objection 10
be made. It Is In the use OF the
term "old guard. IN Connects
cut, and In other doubtful states,
where the Democratic party has
made appreciable gains In the
last few years, and where those
gains have to be consolidated. the
designations "old guard" ana
, ''new guard" should be thrown
into the discard. They only
serve to keep alive a feUd IN the
conduct Of which Democrats
shoot each other and republicans
supply The ammunition. IN this
state Il is understood that a
young guardsmafi Is one who was
for Mr.. Roosevelt before he was
nominated and that All old
guardsman is one who was for
Alfred e. Smith Until Mr.. RooseA
welt was named. Mr.. Roosevelee
colossal victory In the national
election proved that when they
went to the polls there was no
difference In the direction where
members Of either NEW" or "old'
guard cast their ballots. TO couhH
tenance or encourage any revival
OF old antagonisnis which should
be forgotten Is only to invite de4
feat. Republican newspapers

there are, or should be, no such
distinctions as old Democrats
and young democrats. Youth
must be served and age should
be respected for the work IL
has done. Both ends may be
secured if Democrats will res
main Just Democrats.
The Waterbury Democrat. [volume] (Waterbury, Conn.) 1917-1946, 1935-08-16
Keep After Him, Joe!

In order that the editorial
writer on the Times may have
a clearer view Of the Waterbury
picture II 10 necessary to inform
him Of certain things There Is
no real rift in the Democratic
ranks here nor Is there "a vigor-
Gus contest in the offing." II IL
not even doubtful whether those
interested in the so-called inde-
pendent ticket would have voted
for the administration even II d
third party had never come into
existence. II they had been dis
posed to follow the customary
procedure in inter-party dis
agreements they would have
made a primary fight and have
abided by the outcome. The
creation of separate party with
out a platform, without sound
organization, without candidates
of political experience, and with
out money is a gesture of no
Significance whatever despite the
attempts made by local repub-
lican newspapers to make IT APP
pear something to be reckoned
with. The announcement which
the third party Is being given BY
its newspaper advisers Is very
much like that shouted by a Sec
ond to his punch-drunk fighter
who was reeling around the ring
on the verge Of Knockout.
Keep after him, Joe. yOn
got him going"
