 City Court Judge Points Out

Accomplishments of the Hayes ad- sninistration were described In de- tail, with emphasis on the construc- ton program, by Judge Edward Mascolo of the city court, speaking last night over stations WATR and VERY.
 Tt is Q glowing tribute to the Hayes administration that 1t could finance such huge undertakings ip d time of depression, and with 8 constantly lowered tax rate," Judge Mascolo declared, pointing to the expenditure of approximately two million dollars which the cityS lex. celient financial condition allowed 1t to contribute" to meet requirements of federal participation.
 "This Is the administration you are asked to supplant with anna teurs without experience; without knowledge of city affairs, and with out proven ability in business" he remarked,
 Imaginary Tour
 Judge Mascolo took his listeners on an imaginary tour of the city, which he said be had known well since 1890, pointing to the improve ments made since Mayor Frank Hayes took ofilce. Covering the city from east to west, north to south, he described the numerous benefits which have been accomplished for the city by the administration and, re0ardinc the question of support of the Fusion ticket, remarked:
 ITO such requests for change of Rdministratio there can be but one answer: The Hayes administration has done 6 fine job, and must be retained in offlce to complete its program for a better, happier, and more beautiful city.
 The complete text of his address Follows:
 Fellow Citizens:-
 The election which Is to be held . week from today Is attracting the attention of ell the citizens Of Waterbury. I, like you who are my listeners, are vitally interested in the outcome of that election. We should be. For the question involved Is this: Should the pres ent administration be returned to otace because of the record of achievement 1t has made, or should 1t be Supplanted by anoth- CT group, about whose abilities nothing Is known?
 Weighs Evidence
 Because of my training as a lawyer and my experience aS a judge, the first thing have to do when case Is presented to me fov consideration, is to examine the evidence to support the facts alleged. l intend tonight to fol- low that method. The charge has been made that the Hayes admin. iStration has done nothing since It has been in ofIice. That charge can only be refuted by . preseTl- tation of evidence which proves the charge to be false. So, I am golng to ask my audience to come with me on a trip around the city and sec, with your own eyes, what has been done. I am going to ask you, in your own minds, to con- slder tho conditions that existed in tho past and the conditions which exist today. And I think that when we have ended our trip, you will be convinced, aS am, that the administration which is under unjust attack, has done even more than Is to Dc noticed on the surface.
 My first acquaintance with Wa terbury was made in 1890. It was, at that time, q thriving pleasant community, with great poSSibil- ities which were just beginning to be realized. But 1t was, In re- aiity, 6 typical New England vile lage. There were few improved streets. Trolley cars were in their heyday. The town which was to be merged with the city two years later, was going through what may be described as growing pains.
