Lack of Homes

One of the more recent governmental housing surveys in the state revealed some interesting facts about Waterbury that aren't exactly public knowledge, al- though many persons are familiar With them and were just as surprised as this writer to see them. The most aStonish- ing fact in this survey, so far as Water bury is concerned, is this. According to all the most reliable estimates and out lines this city is about 5000 housing units short of what it should have.
 AS this is perfectly unbiased survey and not made in the interests of any per son or concern, it can be regarded as both reliable and accurate. And prob ably local officials could come to the same conclusion by comparing housing figures of recent years with those of other periods. Even the average man must be somewhat aware of the fact that build- ing, particularly the home type, has not kept pace. Blame it on the times or the lack of jobs or what you will, the figures are still there to plague those of us con- cerned about home ownership.
 All indications are, however, that thereIl be a noticeable increase in home ownership, and that naturally will mean home building, in the coming year. The peak may be reached in 1887 and con- tinue for some few years At least that's the way experts figure it out, so there is no doubt something to it. A good deal of aid is going to be given to this spurt in building by government insurance of home mortgages. Now guaranteed up to 30 per cent of value, therell probably be an effort made to increase even this guar Entee higher, SO ehat encouragement to building may be lent
 Other than that thereIl be more aid

Hail to the Chief!

Appointment of City Sheriff William J. Roach to the office of Superintendent of Police marks a new era in the history of Waterbury's Police Department. It also marks the close of long and hon. orable career of Joseph H. Mclean. For some time the city will buzz with the news of this sweeping change, which also brings to the office of Deputy Superin- tendent Daniel J. Carson from his posi- tion as Police Captain.
 That the department will be well man. aged under the new heads can't be queS- toned, even by those who will find fault with the appointments on the grounds of being politically dictated It is rare thing to-day when the head of the police force is not determined by the politics of the ruling party. It may have been over looked by the rank and file of this city, but Waterbury through long years Of democratic administrations never had police chief named by democrats.
 For good many years now thorough shake-up in police ranks has been threat ened This is the first time that any thing has been done about 1t. It will not, of course, constitute criticism of retiring Police Chief Mclean, but it will serve no- tice that the voters of Waterbury in con- sistently endorsing the administration Of Mayor Frank Hayes also reposed in him and his aides confidence to make such changes in the service departments as they might consider advisable.
 Today after fourteen years of continu- ous democratic incumbency in office a democratic mayor and party has done what should have been done years ago. taken over the disposition of its own police department, satisfied to rise or fall on it's management of the same. Again we say this is as it should be, for al- though democrats freely admit 1t and republicans deny it while yet practising tito the victor STILL belongs the spells.
 Ex-Superintendent Joseph H. Mclean rctires from his position at an advancing age with an enviable record of approx imately thrty-fve years service in local police circles for which he will long be remembered. Superintendent William J. Roach comes to the department with equally as meritorous a record in other fields of endeavor, but principally for his latter years as city sheriff in which office he might have been said to have excelled any of his previous records. He is excel lently trained and fitted by reason of his abilities for the position.
 Thus Waterbury suffers no loss in yes terday's changes in the police depart ment, but due to the substitution from the credit side of age and ambition might have been said to have gained. Further more in backing up the perintendency with ex-Captain Daniel J. Carson as the new deputy superintendent Waterbury's police department soon should be un- equalled by any of it's size. So all in all we feel time will eventually show the change was for the best. Good luck to the department's new executives.

Automobiles and trucks that are reg istered out of this state, but which regu- larly pass over our highways, will be sub- ject to the semi-annual inspection tests that were started last year and have just been reopened for 1886. Motor Vehicle Commissioner Michael A. Connor made this announcement and we know it is sure to create some talk among those af- fected by the ruling. We'll wager, though, that Commissioner Connor will be up- held by the heads of the motor vehicle departments of any states, whose regis tered motorists may have to toe the line. We'd reciprocate if asked to.

Peace With Poland

The Polish corridor is in the news again. For years after the war the Ger mans denounced this strip of territory, which at once gives Poland an outlet to the sea and separates East and West Prussia. Many expected war to result from it. A few months ago, however, Hitler promised Poland not to raise the corridor question for ten years. Peace settled down on the German-Polish from tiers - for time.
 Now the railroads across the corridor are presenting problem. All rail traffic between Germany proper and the Ger man province of East Prussia must pass through the corridor and embark on Polish trains. If passengers and freight start from German territory, the fare or carrying charge for the whole distance is collected by German agents, and a per- centage paid to the Polish railroad.
 Lately Germany has been falling be- hind on her payment The amount due has reached $15,000,000, and the Poles want it. They threaten to exercise their right in case of default, and curtail traffic through the corridor. The Ger mans have received this announcement with surprising calmness They promise to pay as soon as possible, and meanwhile are opening, as an alternative road to East Prussia, the boat route which usu- ally runs only in spring and summer.
 It is odd to see smaller country dun ming a larger without providing row. Evidently peace with Poland is earnestly desired by Hitler. He needs the good will of that country as bulwark against Russia.

Concerning the relation of proper planning to public projects, consid- ering the effect on the eye and the future value of good scenery and we'll Handicapped highways, Henry Kelley of New Canaan, in a recent address, made these suggestions con- corning the Merritt Parkway:
 "A study of the parkway should be made on the line of the road by men competent to view from hill and dale, valley and brook, to plan views to be saved to cut out 50 that we may see the Sound, the hills, the orchards, the meadows, rocks and rivers. If necessary, to plan lake here and there. To consider the approaches of the under and over passes. To plan treatments of the banks and depressions. To plan for the lighting, the service stations, the signs and make a study of our trees and shrubs. Plan where to plant individual trees and decide

That's an historical document that the Mutual Aid has just issued to every per son who at any time contributed or aided the fund in administering to the hun dreds of Waterbury unC lployed. There are 27,000 of these pa! phlets issued, so that means that was lot of help being given in the years of Waterbury's depres- sion. We don't think any organization in the country can show as fine record of achievement as our own Mutual Aid. And there's no doubt but what a lions share of the credit for it's successful ad- ministration goes to William M. Harris. Plenty of criticism was heaped upon him from time to time. Officials were urged to interfere, but it is noteworthy that those comprising the heads of the Mutual Aid had perfect confidence in his integrity and ability to carry on despite all obstacles as only such a job as his creates.

When planning for individual specimens give them plenty of room to develop for hundreds of years to come. And sometimes we can make use of such plants as dogwood, lau- rel, spicewood, aZaleas, and such,"
 Does this sound like looking a long way ahead? We are constantly complaining, in fact, that the gem eration Immediately preceding our own failed to look ahead at all, which entails upon us the burden of undoing many costly mistakes - mistakes which must be corrected today at cost of perhaps one hun- dred or one thousand times as much as 1t would have cost to have done the job right in the first place.
 That is why planning is import ant.

A Great Biography of a Great Soldier
By BRUCE CAPTION

The world of books being what 1t is, 1t can be @ great deal more profitable to spend some time with a reissue of an old book than with new issue of new book; and this year will produce few, if any, biog- raphies as good as "Stonewall Jack son." by G. F. R. Henderson.
 This work was originally pub- lished in two volumes in 1898. Since then 1t has been accepted universally as "the" biography of the great Confederate soldier; and since 1t is now available in a new, one-volume edition, attention may properly be called to it here.
 Sometime after Appomattox, statue of Jackson was unveiled in New Orleans. A Confederate chap lain, offering prayer, used this ex- pression: "When, in thine inscrut- able decree, it was ordained that the Confederacy should fail, 1t became necessary for thee to re- move thy servant, Jackson" With this viewpoint Colonel Henderson seems to agree.
 For Jackson, great strategist and great fighter, was the perfect implement for the expression of Lees designs. With Jackson at his side, Lee never failed. Had Jackson been at Gettysburg. the South almost unquestionably would have won: and victory there would have been final.
 It is the virtue of this book that 1t shows just how and why Jackson was such a matchless inc strument in Lees hand. You may know little about military mat ters; Colonel Henderson will ex- plain all that is needfuI. and ex- plain 1t in readable. interesting style.
 He also reveals Jackson. not as the dour fanatic some books show. but as a warmly human. lovable man.

There were over million elm trees in the New York area destroyed in 1885, ac- cording to federal figures just out from the Agriculture Departments Bureau of Entomology and Plant Quarantine. They were affected by the Dutch elm disease. What the figure will be at the end of 1886 no one can say offhand. It makes necessary that no obstacles be placed in the path of those trying to curb the blight. Let us hope it can be checked before all our beautiful elms are gone.

Selected Poem
GYPSY TAVERN

Qucile Joyce Gilbert in the Christian Science
 Monitor) Even within the gypsy tavern One can hear the factory whistles, Believing for the night shift, Above the plaintive Hungarian rhythms, Above the sobbing laughter of the tarogato, And delicate untitled throbbing of the czymbalom. The gypsy fiddler stands there swaying To the pattern of his music As the dancers in their tawdry clothes Swirl and dip The wailing motif, now gay now sad, Sweeps to it's abrupt, enigmatic ending. The dancers drift back to their tables Where are you. gypsy fiddler? On some wild slope Or meadow of Carpathia. Fiddling for sun-browned peasant folk Tn embroidered garments? Wake up gypsy flddlerl This is a cheap night club Tn the shadow Of a temple of mass production.
