ground of mountain and lake, the lat
tice fence and the profusion of flow
ers made a delightful setting for the
melodies of the operetta; and from
the giving of the synopsis by Paulina
Smithson and the overture played by
Jean Nuetzman, the pianist, Ito the
last choral number) the audience was
entertained with an enjoyable COM
bination of picture. story and song.

 "All right, you asked for it. The court will consider the question of possible abuse of discretionary power by the moderator as a first legal problem. Nothing brought out so far in the allegations about irregularities and discrepancies will hold enough weight of evi- dence to cause the court to over- look the Bridgeport decision against the mandamus order. So far the fishing expedition of the gent from Branford-I don't mean J. Warren Upson-and Chief-of- Staff Bronson has developed lots of figures without telling the boys where to put them to get the re- suits they're seeking. There's too much backwash about the whole procedure, stumbling around in corners they hope will turn out to be secret inches of the votes that didn't get registered, or some- thing"

 "Why not? It seems rather harsh to have to put up with the possibilities of another campaign of freely indulged personalities, doesn't 1t? Any judge who had knowledge of the last campaign could see that no constructive purpose would be served by giv- ing some of the lads chance to froth at the mouth twice in the same year."
 Do you honestly believe that the alleged discrepancy between the total vote shown by the ma chine counters and that declared official by the general moderator would affect the election results?
 Mot as it is indicated up to tonight, I don't. Inasmuch as proof that the counters on the rear of the machines had been in- correctly reported would affect both sides, I think that just pos- sibly the Fusion boys would do better to let well enough alone. You take the attitude of the Dem ocratic command, not too well pleased, grant you. They say, Well, what about it?' And so do l."

 "Oh, yes, yes, yes. To be sure, as my friend Joe Penner so aptly puts. Or is 1t "putts"? Where were I? Ho, hum. So, the town clerk testified that she expected there would be a riot in her office, so much excitement election night. She was afraid something might happen to the election sheets SO she took them over to the bank and wouldn't do anything about them until she had consulted her lawyer next morning. That's why she was late at the office, they tell me. But l don't see how she had time to get out to that lunch can at the country club where MT.

 You were speaking about the mandamus. Relnember?"

 'Then the town clerk told how she put the election keys in that nice red box which was shown in court and the court wouldn't let 1t become a real exhibit, just one for Identification, because the defense objected. And that old ball carrier, the Independent Democratic challenger from the 18th district, told how he had overlooked passing to the moder- ator of the matter of the D lev- CT being unlocked on one of the machines---just didn't think of 1t until the election was all over.

 But ghosts there are today and one especial ghost, that of old Ti- berius Pluto Man-on- the Street, greeted us last night down in the basement of the county court house where he is guarding the 54 voting machines used in the election of October 5th-yes, 1887. You've heard about hte machines?

more than $420,Oo0. In 1885 and 1936 Clinton, Glastonbury, South Norwalk, West Haven, Winsted, East Hampton, East Hartford, New Ha- ven, Thomaston and Greenwich all obtained new sites and buildings, or extensions, or new branch offices representing federal expenditure of more than $850,000.
 Under the act of August 25, 1887, Norwich, Madison, Shelton and Oakville will obtain new post office sites and buildings or extensions and remodelling representing expendi- ture of more than $430,000.
 These building programs embrace housing facilities not only for the post office, but for the United States Courts, Internal Revenue Service, Customs Service, Marine hospitals, Quarantine Stations and other ac- tivities of Public Health Service, and other Federal activities.
 The act of Congres in providing funds for these public buildings has been amply justified. They provide adequate space and facilities for carving on government work result ing in more efficient operation, more comfortable working conditions for employees, and more satisfactory service to the public. In many in- stances they have resulted in very material savings in rentals, some o1 the projects being entirely self-li- quidating. They have also provided in the various communities, a phy- sical representation of the national government which serves to impress upon the people the dignity of oul national institutions and which tends to inspire daily confidence, re- spect and reverence therefor.
 Spending Justified
 It should be kept in mind that the so-called federal post office buildings are, in most cases, used by other federal agencies such as the Forest Service, Public Health Service
