The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-09-24

Replying to charges of Comptrol- Ter Daniel J. Leary that practically all of his statements regarding city financial administration were s"falsehoods" Senator George T. sCulhane, candidate for mayor on the Fusion ticket, last night re- torted that at least one figure con- corning the alleged receipts ot funds from Federal agencies, was accurate. MT. Culhane spoke over Stations WATR and VERY.
 MT. Culhane charged that the comptroller had not submitted the exact amount of the monies ex- pended annually for public works, recalling that Comptroller Leary had remarked before advancing his financial statement, that the amounts given would be in round figures" He denied that the city comptroller's claim of deduction m khe total debt was true.
 Reiterating much of his earlier speech, the Fusion candidate con Ginued his charges that the public works projects were contracted without competitive bids. The comptroller, in his reply to Culhane earlier this week, had remarked that the work was allotted to local firms whenever the prices Of the jobs compared favorably with bids of outside concerns.
 The Fusion candidate alleged that the statement of the city some time ago showed an item crediting Fed eral funds. On this basis, he charg- ed that Comptroller Leary was wrong in remarking that there was no credit taken by the city for pub lie work projects shared in cost by the government agencies, such as PWA, CWA, EZRA, and others.
 Senator Culhane decried use of ''round figures" but failed to men, ton that the comptroller had point ed to the city's financial statement, published a few days before in To- cal newspapers, for check with the figures he used in his radio ad- dress.

 Voters of Waterbury: Last Thursday night you heard my opening speech in the present city campaign. In it I stressed the size and importance of city business. I also said some things about the way this great
 business is being conducted by the present city administration. Since then the ,a air has been filled with answers. The city hall ran out of its financial dugout where it has been the last few years and tossed a flew hand grenades at me. I will talk about these later.

piled very simply from his own fi- nancial reports, and from the re- ports of his predecessor. The de- tailed figures are unassailable. They are MT. Leary's own. I have torn off the froth and window dressing, and expose them now, naked and undisguised. They are vitally interesting to you, MT. Tax payer, and to you, Mrs. Rentpayer, for all of it is your money. I dare say, they will be very interesting to MT. Leary and MT. Hayes al- SO. I doubt that they have ever seen these figures in simple form. I shall be glad to supply them with complete supporting detail upon request.
 City Hall, meaning MT. Hayes and MT. Leary, have spent, in seven and one-half years, as shown by their own reports, for fixed charges, ordinary running expenses and minor permanent improvements, 52 1-2 millions of dollars. That does not include a penny of Mutual Aid or federal aid money. That 52 1-2 millions is over 5 millions more than the supposedly wasteful, uneconomi-

Egan. can tlidate of the Fusion party for her present position currently held as a Democrat, was scotched by Mrs. Mary c. Kilmartin, Democratic candidate for town clerk, speaking last night over station WATR.
 Miss Egan last spring ordered cancellation of dinner Of the Democratic Women's club when she was told that Mayor Frank Hayes was to be guest of honor, Mrs. Kilmartin declared. Miss Egan's reason, the speakr remarked, was given as the prediction that i've would have another candidate for mayor this fall, running on Flu sion ticket"
 Mrs. Kilmartin decried the claim of Miss Egan that she had been made a martyr" by the Democratic party, pointing to Miss Egan's early knowledge of the plans of the 1nde- 1CAAOCL dIo OO AAk'S VAOAA ASS publicans in an attack on the ad- ministration at the forthcoming election.
 The speaker lauded the record of the administration, pointing to the record as the basic reason why the voters should accord their support to an administration which showed such accomplishment. Regarding the dinner which Miss Egan at- tempted to disrupt, Mrs. Kilmartin described the affair as the largest testimonial ever held in Waterbury. It was an overwhelming tribute to the splendid work our mayor has been doing for the city,"

.L|NOLEUM NOW
USED AS RUGS

Once relegated to the bathroom,
various types of linoleums in re-
cent years have been put to use
full, decorative service in many
parts of the home.
Keeping abreast Of the times,
manufacturers have developed all
sorts of floor coverings and color
schemes in linoleum, so that it is
finding an increasingly important
place in stores, hospitals and
other buildings.
Rugs" of linoleum in brilliant
designs fit well in many dining
rooms-and no harm is done if
baby spills his cereal on the floor.
The same is true when linoleum
is used in a nursery.
For modern interiors, there are
linoleums of solid color, while
every conceivable shade and deco
rative scheme is also to be found
AS a result, linoleum is used for
porch rugs" kitchen floors, the
bottoms of closets, and even for
surfacing Of shelves by housewives
desiring to have an easily cleaned
and sanitary base for dishes and

WOMAN'S TOUCH

The outside Of a house belongs

lives therein. It reflects her per-
sonality just as the clothes she
wears, her mannerisms, and her
speech. No other medium of ex-

than the decorative scheme Of her
own home.

NOWS The Time
TO SHOP AROUND
FOR YOUR HOME
You Can Test Houses
Comfort, Beauty
By JOHN DEAN MILLIGAN
Real Estate Editor

Did you ever stop to think that
now is the best time Of year to
buy e home?
It is. Because during September
october and November you can
learn more about a house and the
efficiency Of its equipment than
you can during warm months.
You can Judge more clearly the
dwellings, stability, beauty and
ability to provide human comforts,
Consider the angle Of stability
If the cellar leaks or floors warp or
concrete walks buckle, you can
best discover the bad news when
it becomes q bit cold.
BEAUTY DIsTRACTS
Consider the angle of beauty
from April to September every
thing is green and pretty, the lawn
resembles mothers evening gown
and the trees are as attractive as
algae in a submarine grotto. This
loneliness is apt to distract atten-
ton from architectural deficien-
cies Of q home, which should look
as inviting in winter as in summer
Consider the angle of human
comfort-this month and next are
superior to May and June for pur.
poses of testing the heating plant,
the quality of the insulation. the
drawing power Of the fireplace,
the draughtineSs of attics and
porches, the ruggednesS Of what
ever perennial plants or evergreens
there may be on the grounds and
the amount Of sunlight peeping
into the breakfast nook Of a frosty
morning.
NOW'S THE TINE
So the advice of those Gin the
know" is to shop around for that
dream home" now. Prices are
right-no higher than they should
be-and real estate men are on
their toes to help themselves by
helping you.
If you purchase now, you will
have whole winter in which tc
take care of the important, fun
damental changes or repairs to be
made to your house. Then, when
the buds begin to open next year
you won't have to worry about the
radiators or the laundry tubs when
you really want to be outside land

KNOBS-A touch of beauty and
utility can be added to any home
by replacing old-fashioned door
knobs with any Of the new, prettily
designed and stronger door knobs
now on the market. Anybody can
install them.
COLOR-If you're doing over"
any room in the house, remember
light colors help brighten things
in winter. AL available sunshine
is caught and reflected If interiors
are white, or some pale tint Of
yellow.

PREPARE SURFACE

Regardless of the kind OF paint
or varnish finish you are applying,
the surface to be finished must be
in proper condition or the results
will be disappointing. Your painter
will be glad to suggest necessary
precautions; or if you are doing
the job yourself, ask your paint
dealer for advice.

HOUSE ADORABLE


The house itself is adorable, fur
nished by Hilda Miller, and is one
of group of four built by Paul
D. Crandall for Realty Associates,
Inc.
Being the mother of a 5-year-old
boy myself, I noticed the Langley
Junior High School a half block
up the street. That fact made me
want the house for my family.
When a mother can stand on the
porch and see her small child walk
into the school yard without hav-
ing to cross the street, she need
have no fears for his safety. And
Taft Junior High School is but
five blocks away.
And now for the house itself.
The Times Model Small Home is
on the choice spot of the block. 1t
is built of red brick, with a front
trimmed attractively with white
wood. The windows have I'M
usually attractive green shutters.
The wide porch with steps leading
up to it is concrete, like the walks.
HAS FIREPLACE
Pushing open the front door, I
found cozy living room with a
brick fireplace. Light and airy
with three windows, it seemed to
me the room cried for honey"
early American furniture and
crispy tie backs, but you might
have a different idea.
The dining opens off the living
room and back of it is kitchen
that would delight the heart Of
any housekeeper. 1t is in two
shades of green with attractive in
laid linoleum, shiny new electric
stove and plenty of cupboards.
Off the kitchen is small porch,
which Is always convenient.
A hall separates the downstairs
rooms and from this lead two bed
rooms and bath done in black and
white. From the hall, steps lead
to an insulated attic that could
either be made into two more bed
rooms or a delightful recreation
room for the children. To say
nothing of that all important
place-a Storeroom.
The basement is complete with
built-in laundry tubs. With the
living room and dining room In
neutral shades of wall paper, any
colors could be used to advantage.
In fact, from the pastel shaded
bedrooms on through the house it
is a model place that would re.
spond to any sort Of furnishings
and be a real HOME.
