SPEEDY APPRAISAL
DUE ON FIDELITY
Quicker Payment Seen in
Terms of Order by JUS
tice O'Donoghue.

Terms of the order signed late yes
terday by Justice Daniel w. O'Don-
oghue of District Court appointing
three appraisers to assess the assets
of the closed Fidelity Building and
Loan Association may permit COM
pletion of the appraisal and payment
of shareholders in much briefer time
than first was anticipated, 1t was
stated unofficially today.
Treasury officials originally thought
this work would require several months
but now say that provisions of the
order appointing the appraisers may
reduce the time to three or four weeks
since the appraisers will be permitted
to make use of data already in the
hands of the receiver and the Federal
Home Loan Bank Board.
Had they been required actually 10
visit the approximately 100 pieces OF
property involved. the appraisal could
not have been made in so short 8
period.
Real Estate Men Named.
Those named by the court to ap-
praise the assets were j. Dallas Grady
Arthur c. Houghton and Martin r
West, all prominent local real estate
men. They will begin their work at
once.
Even If the appraisal is finished in
three weeks, however, the prediction
by Controller of the Currency JET
O'Connor that the $4,000 shareholders
will be paid by Christmas cannot come
to pass, it was said. since Justice
O'Donoghue has indicated he wants
a preliminary order issued giving the
public notice of the appraisers findings
before the reorganization finally is
approved.
Justice O'Donoghue refused Monday
to approve Immediately the reorgani-
zation, by which the new First Federal
Savings and Loan Association proposes
to take over the Fidelitys assets and
pay Fidelity shareholders IS cents on
the dollar. He explained he felt that
such a large sum of money and so
many persons were involved that the
property should be appraised by men
designated by the court. He made 1t
plain. however, he did not doubt the
accuracy of the figures furnished by
Receiver James H. Nolan.
Asked to Advise Court.
The appraisers were directed yester-
day by the jurist to advise the cour!
whether in their judgment the price
of 85 per cent of the share liability
Of the association is a fair and equit-
able market price for said assets"
Said appraisers" the order con-
unued, may, in their discretion,
utilize such material and data as may
be available in the Office Of the petit
toner, as receiver of said association,
and in the Offices Of the Federal Home
Loan Bank Board, concerning the
surveys and examinations of the assets
in question which have heretofore been
made or gathered concerning the value
of said assets"
Not single shareholder has voiced
to the court any objection to the re-
organization plan, which involves ap-
proximately s4,400,000 share liability.

today.
rent well merited' criticism Of con-
dltions at Gallinger-criticism long
foreseen by the hospital staff itself
DR.. Bocock said the hospitals ma jor
shortcomings are that it simply does
not have adequate buildings or nearly
enough nurses to provide proper care
for its patients.
The admitted inadequacy Of facili-
ties does not mean that the lives Of
patients are jeopardized seriously ex-
cept in extremely rare" instances,
DR.. Bocock emphasized, but 1 does
make for some degree OF inefficient

pressed into service after being aban-
doned, and without proper nursing
care, some patients are bound to feel
the discomfort and not get well as
fast they would under ideal condi-
tions, he pointed out.
Pointed Out Years Ako.
The need for improvement was rec
oenized long ago by the hospital stan,
the Executive Committee OF the hos
pital specifically directing attention
of the District Commissioners to the
''overcrowded" condition more than
four years ago.
The key to the problem lies with
the Commissioners and Congress, who
have been asked by the Health De-
partment to make funds available to
provide the urgently needed new
buildings and personnel at Gallinger
as we'll as to increase maintenance
funds so that equipment rapidly be-
coming unserviceable through long
use" may be replaced
The Health Department, to whose
| jurisdiction the District hospitals were
transferred from the Board of Public
Welfare last July. hopes to relieve the
congestion at Gallinger to some extent
through coordination of its work
with other public health activities.
The first step in this program is
| development of home delivery"
service for maternity cases. Prenatal
supervision through public health
clinics will determine what cases need
TO be assigned to the hospital and
which can be safely handled in the
homes, officials said.
Externe Service Planned.
Plans also are being considered for
using the old Upshur street tubercu-
losis hospital as a convalescent home
and building up an externe medical
service. under which home treatment
by public health doctors and nurses
would make it unnecessary for many
patients OF the type now crowding
Gallinger to be hospitalized.
Although these programs will offer
some relief, INDECENT persons In Wash
ington still will need much more ade-
quate hospital care than Gallinger is
| able to provide in its overcrowded and
understafYed condition, officials believe
Physicians and surgeons in close
touch with the situation at Gallinger
expect that a committee named by
Health Officer George c. Rutland to
make special study Of conditions
there will find the needs to be about
the same as long urged by the hos
pital authorities.

No Partisanship In
 Merit System Plan
League of Women Voters Hear Speakers Today;
 Burke Issues Statement Outlining 0bjectives

We publicly proposed the merit system for Waterbury early in June long before any of the parties in Waterbury nominated their candi. dates for office. We proposed that the question be placed on the voting machines so that voters could in- dicate their preference without in any way interfering with their voters for the various candidates, Frankly, know of no other way the question can be decided that Is more non-partisan than the one we have followed"
 Speaking last night at Franco American hall, Edward II. Davis, described the merit system aS Q means of bringing additional ef- ficieney into city government. He did not mean to imply, he said, any lack of effiency ih the present city administration. ,s...., ,.
 The system, he said, will enable Q man to make progress steadily If he merits 1t. The city government he pointed out, has many employees and would benefit by merit sys- tenn plan.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-09-23

Chairman J, Francis Smith of the Democratic state central committee and William Burke of the Water. bury chapter, Connecticut Merit System association, were the speak, CTS early this afternoon ata lunch con meeting of tho Waterbury Lea- que of Women Voters at the Elton, Mir. Smith discussed political methods and MT. Burke described the merit system plan. MT. Burke denied that tho merit system plan was Q parti- san Issue.
 Ho said: "The local chapter Is Q subordinate mody and It's attitude and policies are governed by iti parent and affiliated organizations namely the Connecticut Merit Sys. tenn Association and the National Civil Service Reform League. The nor. partisan character of these or. ganiSationS is well recognized throughout the state and the nation In their efforts during the past fifty years to extend the merit system.

French of Waterbury would have voice in government if the party were elected. These promises never were kept. They disappeared into thin air like c beautiful dream.
 '"The party of the French In Wa. terbury k the Democratic party and the Republicans vote the Republican ticket merely because their fathers and grandfathers voted the same way. Naturally, 1t Is to the ad- vantage of the French to support Mayor Hayes with Q solid French voee."
 FalsehoOds
 Taking up the accusations of the Fusion candidate for mayor, sena" tor George T. Culhane, MT. Lcmieux quoted figures on the record Of the clty's finances and concerning the taI rate which, he declared, proved ths charges Of the Fusion candidate Ars falsehoodS. He described the tax rate of Waterbury aS consider. ably lower than that of Hartford, Now Haven and Bridgeport, point- Ing to the 90 per cent assessment valuation.
 At Hartford the tax rate Is 2e.7 mills, at New aHven, 27b mills, and At Bridgeport, 2S.6 mills, while at waterbury tho rate Is SIS mills" the speaker said. But In the case Of
The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-09-23

the three sister cities, the rate is based on 100 per cent assessment and at Waterbury on 90 per cent. Thus, Waterbury actually has a tax rate of 25.2 mills, the lowest of the large city rates in the state."
 Indebtedness
 Regarding the charges of waste and increase of bonded indebtedness, MT. Lemieux pointed to the con- struction program, in Waterbury, confined throughout the depres- sion when, he remarked, the debt of the United States was being quadrupled. He called attention to aqueduct constructed In 1888, to the large disbursements made to the welfare list, saying that counting these matters as assets meant that actually 6 reduction in liabilities was accomplished,
 "In conclusion, my compatriots, I affirm that we have an adminis- tration of which we have the right to be proud. An administration in all matters efficient, but, more than that, experienced. An administra- ton equal to any In the land" Mir Lemieux said. For my part, I be- lIeye that you will contribute e solid front for the success of this cam paign and re-elect Mayor Hayes, our esteemed compatriot, Alderman Belval, and the whole Democratic ticket. It will mean, as I told you, wonderful victory for lies Cana lens" and will meal that we shall take our place in the affairs of goV- ernment, Q place to which we are entitled"
The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-09-23

Describing the Fusion party as \ group of malcontents who are try- ing to get the Republicans to vote for Q former Democrat, MT. Le' mieux pointed to the lack of repre- sentatlon of citiSens of French origin on the Fusion ticket. He accused the Republicans, likewise, of dlsregarding the French through out their past years of seeking party victory.
 Great Promises
 NDurIng the last l4 years I have been Q Republican" Mir. Lemieux declared. "From election to election, great promises were made that the
