JUDICIAL REFORMS
FOLLOW BUDGET In
FILIPINO PROGRAM
(By Associated Press)

MANILA, May 30.-President
Manuel L. Quezon of the Phillip
pine Commonwealth has taken
another step in his reorganization
program by naming a budget COM
mission.
The next step is expected to in
volve the Judiciary has already
been organized and the president,
it is expected, will next tackle
the question of justice of the
peace courts.
President Quezon has two plans
under consideration. One would
change the justice courts to cir
cult courts with jurisdiction over
two or three municipalities. The
other would eliminate the justice
courts entirely and create district
courts.
Under the latter plan violations
of local ordinances would be
handled by municipal police
courts. = Z:

CROWD STANDS
in HEAVY RAIN
TO HEAR PATTY
CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR
COVERS VARIOUS ISSUES
IN ADDRESS DELIVERED IN
JACKSONVILLE
GSPrcIaI - The (itizenl

JACKSONVILLE, May 3d.
Rain broke up a large gathering
of Duval county residents hearing
addresses by candidates here in
Laura Street last night, but the
crowd wouldn't leave in spite of
the heavy drizzle until B. T.
Patty, candidate for governor,
stopped speaking. The rain be-
gan in earnest we'll before the
end of Paty's speech, but the
crowd kept appluading and Patty
continued speaking in spite of the
downpour. He drew first ap-
plause when he declared 81 have
asked nobody if l could run for
this office and nobody asked me
to run, but 1 just decided to
: come out here and tell you the
cold facts about the situation in
our state today and to offer con-
f., crete remedies which l believe
will be for the best interest of
Florida as a whole"
At the conclusion of his address
there were cries OF "hurrah for
Patty" Several continued to oc-
cupy the wet seats through the
address. one hosting a conven-
lent umbrella. Some stood in the
shelter of doorways and awnings
and others stood out in the open,
taking the pelting.
In stressing his plank which
would require that state employees
be selected by a civil service ex-
! animation similar to that now in
force in the federal government,
Patty used as a concrete example
of its need, a wire he received
shortly before the address from
George Cofield of Tallahassee, a
state employee, twice discharged
by the present administration for
daring to espouse Paty's candi-
dacy. The wire in part is as fol-
lows:
/ 81 was again discharged today.
This is the second time in 60
days that administrative wrath
has descended on me because /
have dared to raise my voice in
behalf of my choice for governor
in the coming primary. l have sup
| ported you openly. l hope you
will tell the people for me it is
high time they look to the boast
ed freedom of this country when
a man over 81 years of age can
not openly support his choice of
candidates who seek public office
without having a penalty visited
!, on his head. such is the condition
not of free men but of slaves"
In discussing his stand on the
Homestead Tax Exemption
Amendment upon support of
which another candidate in the
governors race is making a bid
for the office, Patty said 81 made
some speeches for the Homestead
Tax Exemption Amendment to
the constitution also, and without
pay, while Senator William C.
Hodges, l am informed, rendered
this service to the people while
being compensated for it by GER
tain financial interests in the
state. This compensation, I am
! also informed, is $500. not
only favor the present Homestead
Tax Exemption law, but also am
in favor of making it more effee-
! tive and beneficial"
Patty Left this morning to adj
dress a st. Petersburg audience

ROOFS OFFER
ADVANTAGES

Because most roofs are out OF
sight, all too frequently they're out
Of MIND" as well. l.. M. Moore,
manager of the Imperial Valley
Hardware company hardware de-
partment, seven out of 10 property
owners neglect their roofs and court
trouble by risking large repair bills.
Speaking specifically OF roofs that
are covered with saturated felt and
then given a bituminous coating
Moore stresses the Importance of
checking up regularly on the con-
dition of that coating.
This type of roofing does dry
out" says Moore. Tine effects of
the drying out process are first seen
in The form of dry cracks. AS the
drying out process proceeds, these
cracks widen ano the surface coat
ing becomes brittle, thus further eX-
posing the felt layer beneath. At a
period somewhere between these two
stages. new protection should be ap-
piled. This will restore the roofing
to its original elasticity.
Low Expense
"Felt-covered roofs, when re-coat-
ed with bituminous material at 3 or
4 year intervals, will keep the in
side of buildings and their contents
dry for rs to 35 years at low cost.
The important thing to do is to
renew the bituminouS outer coating
before the felt begins to rot" Moore
points out. That's what saves
money and trouble. 1t also saves the
replacing of Hastings, caves, troughs
and protects rafterS, inside walls
and the contents of the structure.
Such a coating inSureS each 100
square feet of roof for few cents q
year.
"Built-up roofs-thoSe that are
composed of several layers OF felt
and bitumen-require the same re-
newal of their softness. Otherwise
they become brittle and useless at
too early a date. This, naturally
makes the cost per year of service
high.
These bituminous coatings may
also be used to extend the life of
sheet metal roofing.
"Bituminous coatings are applied
with a three-knot brush and may
be used any warm, dry day after
frost has disappeared. 1t is really
better TO apply such a coating before
the coming of the heat of the sum-
mer. One coa5 is usually all that is
necessary. BY all means, obtain the
best quality products available, -
Moore advises. This saves the
cost of labor and materials for re-
roofing"
This type of coating, while not
advisable for the roof of home, is
suitable for roofs of factories, office
buildings, institutions, garages or
barns, Moore states.
