How close the city Of waterbury

pipe line which carries the city's
water supply--was disclosed at
Yesterdays meeting Of the board Of

quest for $4,000 Of WPA allotment
for flood damage repair was men,

fore the washout around that sec

Naugatuck river can be repaired.
The rip-rap along the river was
washed away for several hundred
feet; much OF the banks were car

exposed, only two feet Of earth re-

Repairs there, Il was figured To-

are many washouts on roads and

which must be attended.

city's reservoir system to obviate
Just such q catastrophe as that

Currently, this project is part Of a
So 100000 PWA proposal which the
city has sponsored tentatively and
which now Is under consideration
at Washington. Other portions OF
this large project include the Mad
river trunk sewer; O third reservoir;
and general water main program.
Sections OF this pipeline have
been laid In recent years but there
remains . large portion to be COM

It was q chance meeting with q
hungry man in Florida that gave
the Rev. Bell his idea, He fed the
man, talked with him at length
about the road" and when they
parted the pastors mind was made
up; his future was among such men
as these. His wife agreed, and
friends assured him that his family
would be provided for through free
will contributions from churches
and other interested organizations.

An American Giant
To Make Annual Debut

One Of the branches of American
transportation that has become
sharply vocal in recent weeks, and
rightly so, is the mammoth and d.
versified motor truck industry. Rep
resenting an investment of well over
one billion dollars the industry, af-
fecting as It does every phase of the
nations life from the hauling of
vital foodstuffs from market to con-
sumner to the transportation Of all
types of commercial products, has
announced through its trade associ-
alton that its Fifth Annual Motor
Truck Show will be held this year
in New York City.
The show date, from November IL
through the II, will coincide with
the annual passenger car show and
will thus more emphatically focus
attention on its own field of opera
lions as we'll as on the pleasure We
hicles.
Not only will the national truck
show embrace the display of the
newest models in trucks-from
small package delivery cars to giant.
ten-ton hauling trucks-but 1t will
include also the most mOdernly-de-
veloped operating and maintenance
equipment. It will probably be a
point of interest to most readers
that the industry employs in the
capacity of drivers alone well over
/. 100000 American workers. And II

'TAINT LIKE If USED TO BE


In early times the. building of wa
terworks, electric light and ga:
plants, street railways and Other
utilities, was undertaken by local
citizens, and for a quarter, or half q
century, all went well. Then the
great utility holding concerns began
to form and public utilities stretch
ed out like the present day chain
stores. Firms like the Electric Bond
and Share Company stuck pins
thickly into large maps to keep
track of where they were at" They
got to going so fast that they hop
ped to Cuba, and down into Central
and South America. Then one day,
the Government began to catch up
with them and shouted whoa
Finally came the act of 1885 Gre

itics in that struggle, and there still
may be more wire-pulling than the
general public realizes.

the corporation must "split up" at
least 10 different ways, and untangle
their holding company, and reorgan-
ize it into small groups. The debate
over the question is finished and

Safety Programs
In Industry Pay
Human Dividends

Safety education pays dividends
for Industrial deaths dropped iron
a probable $4,000 in 1913 to an ap
Droximate 1850 in 1887. Further
more, 2S5,000 people escaped oceu
pational death and 28,0OO,O0O NOR
were saved from disabling injuries
during the 24-year period; all indus
try put together has made good a
decrease incasualty rate Of some Is
per cent. To establish this remark
able record took the combined ef-
forts of welfare agencies and insur-
ance companies, of government and
industry.
mo dollars-and-cents' figures can
express what this has meant in re-
dueing suffering, bereavement. lost
opportunities, and blighted lives, "
declares Henry Morton Robinson.
writing on industry's accident prob
lem in The Rotarian Magazine. yet
employers have also found that de-
creasing Industrial risk is vastly
profitable. The United States Steel
Corporation, for example. shows that
an expenditure of 25 million dollars
for safety protection and education
has made good saving Of III mill
lion dollars in injury claims alone,
not to mention the reduction in la
Dor turnover, lost time, and slow
ed production"
Industry's accident problem. var
led as industry itself, divides into
two classes: the slow injury to
health due to bad working condi-
tions, and the sudden jeopardizing
of life or limb from purely fortui-
tous circumstance, according to Mr..
Robinson. Safety engineers today
are constantly on the lookout for
unsafe practices and unguarded ma
chimes. More important than safety
precautions is proper clothing such
as special gloves, shoes, goggles,
helmets, acid-resisting pants and
aprons. asbestos suits, and masks
for noxious gases and for dust.
To eliminate unsafe practices,
which cause about 80 per cent Of the
accidents, according TO the Metro
politan Life Insurance Company.
programs of safety education which
appeal 10 the wOrkman's pride are
being conducted in many firms, says
Mr.. Robinson. A dupont plant can
show 11,S61,S46 man-hours of con-
secutiEe work by 1000 employees
without a single time-losing injury.
There will always be accidents as
long as men are human and ma
chimes can KILL" he concludes, "but
the encouraging thing is that every
where the idea is springing up that
accidents are waste; not only waste,
but criminal waste. And waste, for
is something that Ameri-
cans understand and abhor."

BROADEN THE TAX BASE

Every thinking citizen should sup
port the drive that will be made IN
the next congress to broaden the tai
base. which would awaken q larger
number of people TO what govern
mental finance means to them, by
levying direct taxes. of nominal
amounts, in the lower income
brackets.
This drive can't be dismissed as an
insidious plan by "Tich reactionaries
to make the poor pay the national
bills. Its principal sponsor is SEN
ator LaFollette, who belongs to the
left-wing bloc of the Senate. And a
great many congressman, of radical
as we'll as conservative tendencies,
are behind it. AS
We have reached the point where
taxing the rich" is no solution to
the fiscal problem. II the entire tax
able incomes of all persons earning
S25, 900 a year or more were con-
fiscated. the revenue derived would
hardly make dent in our swollen
budget. At the present time, though
relatively few seem 70 realize It, the
person of small and moderate means
contributes the great bulk Of all reve-
nue., through hidden taxes that are
part OF tle cost Of every necessity
as well as every luxury. Lowering
the income tax base would both in
crease revenue and shock millions OF
people who now mistakenly think
they are tax-free, into the realization
that every man has a tremendous
stake in the tax problem.
We have been lodging the issue
too long. Those congressman who,
according to reports, are planning to
40 everything possible toward legal
ling a broader tax base next SEES
