 Chief Praised
 Chief Cavanaugh is being high ly praised for his advanced thought in such an undertaking MT. Hall declared '"The Chiefs interest in this regional school is a source of great pleasure to me.

WORKERS BENEFIT
 BY COMPENSATION
Employees on Municipal Projects Fully Protect
 ed By State Laws

Workers negaged on relief projects instituted by municipal departments of welfare are covered by the Con- necticut compensation act, ruling by Compensation Commissioner Edward T. Buckingham at Bridge port showed today.
 The City of Bridgeport had con- tested the compensation claim in the case of administrators of the estate of a man who was killed in 6 collision January 26. 1886 while working on a snow removal truck.
 In contesting the claim they claimed that he was engaged ID made work" and on the relief pay roll. The deceased, Michael Olivier, was survived by his widow and three children who will receive $903 weekly for 3i2 weeks and $200 buria! expenses by order of the award.
 Commissioner Buckingham held "the fact that the defendant was on the relief payroll and therefore availab'" for the work of snow re- moval does not place him outside of the status of other employees hired for the task of removing snow."
 While 1t is true," the commis- sioner said. that some of the jobs given to men on relief were made SO that the men would be occupied 1t is also true that If a man did not work his family did not receive the benefit of the work which he was doing and for which It paid him and 1t directed where, how and when he was to work" 3-l

Welfare Department their investments. A vicious cycle, according to the survey.
 Experts Closed Problem
 Solution to this was seen by the government experts to be the low cost housing projects which, by agreement with municipalities and the states, might become cooperative affairs, tax-free for certain periods in return for the governments cash outlay of taxpayers money, return on which would follow through in- creased municipal valuation imme- diately and through the subsequent years. This, so far as slum clearance was concerned
 But more recently the government decided to "decentralize" public housing. This throws the matter into the hands of cities and states to take the initiative with the muni- cipality responsible primarily for inception of the low cost housing in its environS.
 Precedent in State
 At Waterbury the question has been raised of state participation and the necessity for legislative &C., tion to provide for the setting up of a local business authority. There is precedent in Connecticut for such a plan. Fairfield court at Stamford, is a project for which allotment of 1929, 9,000 was made. 45 per cent of which was an outright grant.
 Numerous officials in Waterbury are studying the housing situation and are prepared to give their views of what a low cost housing project could mean to the city and its thou sands of industrial workers.

interest to Waterbury at the mo- ment when the matter of a local low cost housing project is being undertaken.
 Parts of the story in The Demo- crat follow:
 This spring the Federal Housing division of the PWA had 51 proj- ects in 35 cities under construction. Completed, they are designed to provide living quarters for 10000 families at a cost of $133, ,000,O 900 of which the Federal government was paying outright $59,000000. De- partment officials felt then, and presumably have not changed their minds, that this was but a "drop in the bucket" For the size of the bucket" now has been estimated statistically.
 Condition of Dwellings
 By figures compiled by the United States chamber of commerce as an inventory taken in GA cities it was shown: That only one-third of the dwellings surveyed had both hot and cold running water; one-third had coal or wood stoves for heating; I'll per cent had no private indoor toi- let; 25 per cent no bathing facilities, per cent no interior water supply whatever. Only 37 per cent were des- ignated as not needing repair.
 Half of the dwellings in the GA cities rented for $20 month or less Tenants couldn't expect much for that, 1t was remarked. But two out of five American families cannot af- ford to pay over $25 month rent because even in prosperous 1929, 21 per cent of all families had annual incomes of less than 5000; another 2l per cent had incomes between $l 900 and $l,500, and IT per cent had incomes between $1,500 and 5000.
 Families Couldn't Pay
 Taking the traditional 20 per cent allocated to rent costs by economists a fifth of the families in the low in- come groups could not afford to pay as much as SIT a month for rent; another fifth could pay up to $25 and another group could pay be- tween $25 and $33.
 The building industry has been stumped to provide housing within the means of these groups. And banks owning properties which had failed to provide commercial return equal to mortgage charges, are faced with vacancies or loss of interest on

"Is Waterbury facing 8 serious housing shortage?"
 This question, raised by The Democrat in story published on July 10 and quoting Mrs. Mar garet Verdon, superintendent of the Welfare Department, has resulted in official action by the City of Wa terbury to meet problem of far reaching significance to thousands of residents.
 Developments to date, resulting from description of Waterbury's housing problem as expressed in The Democrat, include:
 City Seeks Aid
 First: The decision of the City Of Waterbury to seek federal assist ance for its problem of providing low-cost housing. As outlined in The Democrat, the shortage of rents for residents in the low ir- come group has become increasing ly serious as factory payrolls reached a peak beyond 1929 figures. Well fare departments and private social units can not find quarters for families seeking relief, as well.
 Second: Mayor Frank Hayes ap- pointment of William M. Harris, sec retary of Lincoln House, as his rep resentative to seek federal funds un- Ger the Wagner Housing act at Washington. MT. Harris left last night for the capital where he will confer with Connecticut congress- men on measures to be adopted to seek for. Waterbury a federal ,allot- ment' of funds.
