DISARMAMENT
 HOPE ELIMINATED

Washington. Oct. i2-tUp)-Pres- ident Roosevelt's announcement that next years naval expenditures would be increased to a new peace time high doomed today any hope still held by officials for a reduce ton in armaments.
 Many officials for some time have seen no immediate prospects Of an International conference looking toward disarmament. With the Eu- ropean situation still uncertain and renewed activity in the Sino-Jap- anese conflict, they were understood to believe the time inopportune for such discussions now.
 Mir. Roosevelt's announcement was made at his press conference late yesterday. He said that rather than retard its national defense program the United States would speed it up and that an increase of $l50,000, 900 in next years naval budget would be necessary to carry on new warshjp construction.
 Such an increase would bring the naval appropriation for the fiscal year 1940 to more than $700, ,000, 900. Tn addition there may be larger ex- penditures for the army, especially coast defense and anti-aircraft bat terieS.

23,OOO Fire Hydrants
 On Service In State
Connecticut We'll Supplied With Water Facilities in
 Event of Protective Measures improving

munlty when, it Is considered that me nations fire loss during lDS1 totaied approximately e20b, ,OOol0o0 and that 5000 persons lost their ilves through fire, Adequacy of the supnly for this purpose depends on three factors: first, provision of an ample supply of water; second, pros vislon of adeuuate water pressure at tho hydrants for fire fighting; and, third, proper spacing of tho hydrants 80 that each building M protected and 30 that pressure VIII not Do rendered inadequate by the friction caused when water runs through extremely long lengths of fire hose.
 Care of the first two of these fac- tors rests with the states public wa. ter supply systems, while the third is matter in the hands of each community. All three phases of fire protection have been we'll developed in Connecticut. The water systems have constructed large storage facil- ities to take advantage of the vary. Ing rainfall in tho state, while suf- flcient pressure at tho hydrants has been provided either by the force of gravity or by the use of pumping equipment or both. Connecticut's cities and towns, for the most part. have supplied themselves with the proper number of hydrants to ir- sure protection, and as new sections are built up moro installations are made yearly to provide for their safety.
 Distribution
 Because there Is no way to segre.. gate water for various purposes, aB water from the public systems goes into the mains for distribution or the assumption that 1t will be con sumed by human beings. This dc. spite the fact that only about one oi each ie0 gallons distributed Is so consumed. Tho rest k used for fire fighting. idustrial uses, cleanliness and sanitation and the like.
 Importance of an adequate supply of water for fire protection IS em' phasized by the fact that In Q grad. ing schedule of 5000 points used in establishing fire insurance rates, water supply accounts for i,70O points or about one-third of tho whole rating accorded to the par- ticular community concerned.

City's Financial Picture

minimum cost,
 There are maturing bond Issues in 1889 which, in one instance, ct least, that of the Center school district, date to 1897, q years ago. The city has carried the load of interest during good times and bad for this period, through the panic" of 1907, and subsequent ''depressionS", The attackers fail to consider how much of this bonded indebtedness comes into c political background connected by blood ties with their afiiiiation.
 Figures are dull things; inter- eSting only when they can be used to attempt proof of some point c promoter wishes to publielEe, Yet figures of taxes and the debt structure which is concern of every taxpayer must have interest beyond tho political taint which Is prime purpose of those who try to make sevens out of eight's, in c form of metaphor.
 Destructive Attacks
 Probably Waterbury, for tho first time since it became large city, since, maybe, 1897 and before it became c "metropoiis", Is ct last on the path to constructive hans ding of It's finances. Waterbury Is big business, with an annual turnover" exceeding e0,000,000, AS such, 1t would seem that every stockholder might Do more con. cerned with betterment of his in- dividual block of stock than in the destructive attacks of political chieane that would tend to ob- struct, to impair the program now being undertaken by such Sur- geons as driffenhagen & Asso- ciates and the finance board,
 Tn spite of these attacks, and in the face of criticism, city officials have been lauded for their entire cooperation with the financial doctors now operating, still, the attacks persist.
 FoTbUnhl Ffgm0tiou
 But that perpetuation of this ate tack should menace the first cons struetive move of the coordinated forces Of government and unfe. lated experts in municipal affairs for . non-partiSan accomplish ment for the whole good of the community, can be evidence only of selflshness which allows per. sonal promotion to supersede con. alteration for the public good.
 Waterbury is tired of the finger pointed by partisans ct it's gov. ernmental workings. Times are too harsh, yet, to find solace in sen- sational arraignment of . few by passing the buck from many ad. ministrations which accumulated the debt that is principal burden of the months and years to come.
 There should be some iaudation the purpose and progress of ell members of the board of finance for applying the knife of economy. the hours of consideration of fu- ture handling of the city's affairs. There should be acknowledgment. and even enemies of the sporting type would grant this modicum of due, to the present administra. ton for it's cooperation in the healing of current ills, It's defer ence to the non-political carvings of budgets that will soon be pre- sented as the course of 1889 ex- penditures.
 Without Q whole community bee hind this program, the stockhold. CTS who place the city before poli- tical consideration must be threat ened by A rabid minority. And this seems less than fair in times when taxes mount to proportion beyond good reason.
