DR.. N. D. Brayton
Attends Exposition

DR.. N. D. Brayton, member of IT,.
Arizona assembly from Miami, va s
guest of the 1899 Golden Gate In
ternational Exposition on a tour of
Treasure Island, site of the Worlds
Fair of the West.
With the Arizona legislature pre-
pairing to act on a $4,000 partiCi-
patton bill, DR.. Brayton expressed
the hope that Arizona would join
other states in being represented
at the San Francisco Fair.
Cognizant of the reputation of the
famed University of Arizona ban1,
Exposition officials have extended
an invitation to the band to partici-
pate in the ground-breaking cere-
monies for the building in which
Arizona would exhibit, and plans
were also being formulated to bring
the band here for Arizona's "day"
at the Exposition.
DR.. Brayton was heartily in favor
of the plan to bring his home
states band to Treasure Island.
"The University of Arizona baud, "
he said, sis one of the finest of its
kind in the United States, and it
would indeed be appropriate if it
could be on hand to perform on any
occaaion pertinent to Arizona dur
ing or before the Exposition"
Accompanying DR.. Brayton to the
island was his daughter, Dixie Lee
Brayton, student at San Jose Teach
ers college. Miss Brayton is re-

right wrist which she received

The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-11-22

A ruling by the state attarney general asserts that the special act of 1887 passed by the General Assembly creating tho state Depart. rnent of Public Works terminated the authority of the special co,r- mission to erect and equip a 'hospi- tal and training school for the fec minded at South Britain. It as- serts that the authority formerly vested in the commission now IS vested in the public works cufn- missioner, Robert A. Hurley.
 The ruling was sought because Of the commissioner's inability to SC. cure possession of architectural plans and specifications which hnd been drawn up at the order Of the special commission for the proposed institution. It. is proposed that un- der the new order of authority over the project, further architectural and engineering work will be per. formed within the Department of Public Works itself, 50 to save fur. ther special expenditure on fees.
 The action apparently clears up one case of confusion, and in 30 do. ing clears the way to furthering of the project. It also provides an ad- ditional illustration of the very large amount of responsibility lodg- cd in MT. Hurley. The situation in regard to managerial as well as fis- cal authority In highway work waits further court clarification; but the power--and the responSibllity-that is in the balance Is already clear.

project. This information was forthcon1- ing when Bridgeport attempted to go ahead with its plans for a project of the above type. It found that while the Connecticut Legislature had done what It thought was its part in this New Deal drive against depression, 1t nevertheless hadn't done enough. And 1t wasn't the Legislatures fault this time, either.
 Most people are beginning to shrug their shoulders when they hear men ton of low-cost housing and slum clear ance. There may be few experimental villages set up here and there as re- suit of some official having bit more power than others, but so far as the average city is concerned it doesn't look as if Waterbury or any other would get beyond the discussion stage in the prob lem. It's too bad for a lot of communities are enthusiastic about the idea and are quite prepared to go a long ways to put them into execution.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-11-22
Would Require Action

Officials, state and otherwise have been interested in reading recent financial statements of the state government which shows that the deficit has been reduced $2,000000 during the first four months of the current fiscal. year Earlier in 1887 the Legislature voted $25 100000 bond issue, more than half of which was to be used to retire the states deficit. At that time 1t was slightly in excess of $l4,- 100000, so the legislators in pushing through the necessary bill authorized a fiat $ll,000,000 for institutional expar- sion.
 Of course the state could spend twice as much as $l1 100000 right now in ir- Stitutional expansion If 1t gave heed to all the demands and pleas for money. AS a result of the general cry for aid 1t was necessary to grade the various institu- tions that were to receive aid and also to grade the amount of financial aid they will get from the proposed bond issue. But now with the deficit down $2,000,000 and prospects in sight that by the end of the present fiscal year 1t may be even lower still, there is demand that the additional millions be used for institu- tions and other public building purposes.
 Unfortunately 1t can't be done just by switching funds The General Assembly, 1t develops, voted flat $1l 100000 ap- propriation for institutions The money will come from the $25 900, 900 bond is- sue, but 1t can't be cent more Of course 1t could be less with the balance ultimate ly going into the general funds, since 1t isn't earmarked. Only by vote of the Legislature can this $l1,000,000 appro- priation be raised. AS matters stand, therefore, nothing will be done about re- moving the deficit before July 1, 1888. When that is done any fund left over and above will remain untouched until the 1889 Legislature can appropriate them. No doubt they ultimately will go into state buildings, but not until definitely earmarked for the same.

Robert A. Cairns

Robert A. Cairns was by point of ser vice Waterbury's ranking city official. Forty-six years ago he was named to the office of City Engineer. He had served since then continuously in his office and by his diligence and efforts contributed greatly to the physical development of this city. His death will be regretted by the present administration and by host of former officials under whom and with whom he served in the past half century. The name of Cairns will long be linked with the history of Waterburys water works.
 It was in the development of this ser- vice that MT. Cairns spent the major por- ton of his civic service. He built the present two reservoirs at Morris as his first real contributions to the city in the line of engineering accomplishments. By far, however, his greatest feat was drill- ing a tunnel under hill and dale, and even Bantam Lake, from the Shepaug river to the Morris reservoirs. The ultimate com. pletion of this water supply project which would assure this city of sufficiency for hundreds of years would have been third reservoir in the Morris hills, as yet merely contemplated.
 A list of the engineering achievements during the Cairns regime would fill q book. It Is proof that his work was of the highest order and he most efficient planner and workman when he was con- tinued in office by mayor after mayor, Democrat and Republican both. If any office or department was completely separated from politics 1t was that of Mr. Cairns. It Is unfortunate that he could not have been spared to see the realiza- ton of his complete dream of the city's water supply; It Is remarkable, though, Tagging interest and take such an active part in the work of his department as he did of recent years.

Contractors throughout this state are somewhat disturbed over recent actions of State Public Works Commissioners Rob- ert A. Hurley. We refer to his order to a contractor to tear up new stretch Of roadway in New Haven The street in question is a PWA job on federal-aid road. Commissioner Hurley in ordering the street torn up and repaved charged that specifications were not lived up to by the contractor in charge This js probably the first time that such an or- der has ever been given in this state, al- though 1t is conceivable that ,pavement;ss have been changed because they didn't proved satisfactory. But this order comes as result of an analysis of the asphalt used in the roadway. Thus analysis was made by the State Highway Department and the report given to Commissioner Hurley. The cost of replacing the alleged ly inferior material will be about $l0, 900. With close scrutiny being given other jobs you can rest assured that from now on therell be no attempts to skimp ma terials, If that Is actually being done.

Lower Cost Housing

So far as Waterbury or other Con- 1ecticut cities are concerned they had better forget about low-cost housing and slun1-clearance projects. There just isn't going to be anything doing around these parts for a long time to come. As a mat ter of fact we're extremely doubtful if any Connecticut municipality ever gets any federal aid to provide this type of dwelling for persons in the low.incone brackets. The latest news from Wash- ington is that legislative intercession is again required in Connecticut.
 This time the Legislature must make t possible for any community desiring federal aid for low.cost housing to de- fray 10 per cent of the total cost of the

South American Fascism

The apparent scrapping of representa- tive government and American dennoc- racy in Brazil raises some interesting questions. Getulio Vargas, who has been president of Brazil under constitution modelled on our own, seems to have fol. lowed the fashion of Italy, Germany ana Japan. Administrative, legislative and even judicial power are all In his hands. His cabinet has resigned, his Congress has been dissolved.
 He is forming a new cabinet and cre- ating a government of four branches executive, legislative, economic and judi cial, selected by indirect vote and under presidential direction" He is to serve for six years, with the right then to name one of two candidates to succeed him, with the obvious possibility of his chang ing his mind about that. He has an" nounced a "new constitution" embodying these changes. There Is supposed to be an election to validate the one-man revo- lution, subject to his discretion. All state and municipal authority is assumed by him. The president apparently IS to be "the whole works.
 It Is the longest step in absolute govern ment yet taken in this hemisphere. There have been strong individualist governments in South and Central Amer lea, notably In Mexico and Venezuela, but they have at least pretended to follow republican constitutional forms.

 Senators who want to hold the Senate floor and smoke a cigar at the same time should take les- son from Tom Connally of Texas.
 It is against Senate rules to smoke in the chamber. Also 1t Is against the rules to leave the chamber when you have the floor. But Tom Connally, who was con- ducting a filibuster against the anti.lynching bill, had sent a copy of the Congressional Record to the clerk, who was reading 1t,
