MT. Rowland still refused to pay after the finance board voted at a meeting some time ago to place MT. Dowling's name on the health de- partment payroll. The board vote was taken after Mayor Frank Hayes had declared there was need for a caretaker at the hospital.
 Sufficient Funds
 Payment of MT. Dowling'S salary is no legal concern of the control ler's, said MT. O'Connor in his writ ten opinion. Health department sal- aries are listed in the budget in a lump sum, he pointed out, and there are sufficient funds for the care- takers pay.
 The finance boards budget com- mittee decided to appeal to Cover nor Raymond E. Baldwin to veto Senator George T. Culhane's sewer assessment moratorium bill, after condemning the measure as injur- ious to the city. The bill allows property owners to pay sewer assess ments in two installments during a 3O0-day period. At present the as- sessments, under the charter, must be paid within 120 days.
 A committee was named to in- vestigate delinquent sewer assess ments. Named to the committee were Corporation Counsel O'Connor, Controller Rowland, Tax Collector William A. Ennis and Tax Attorney George R. Guilfoile. Commissioner Major Judge said that about $80,000 is due the city on such bills, many of the accounts being of long stand- ing.
 The board decided not to publish the list of delinquent property own CTS, as advocated by Senator Cul- hane at a conference with the budget committee.
 It was voted to send communi- cation to Superintendent of Streets Thomas J. Fleming urging that his department keep within its budget for the year. The controllers office, in a letter to the board, claimed that if expenditures continue at the
The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-04-21

present rate the department will be out of funds by November 1.
 Commissioner John H. Goss sug- gested that the collection of overdue sewer assessments be handled through the tax collectors office.
 Payment of $24,000 to the state as the city's last payment of its portion of the Baldwin street paving costs was approved.
 There was lengthy discussion over bids for the audit of the tax col- lector's books, which will be opened at a meeting of the budget com mittee tomorrow night. The board recommended that no bids be ac- cepted from any accounting firms other than the six invited to submit bids.

A BOOST FOR ADVERTISING

When a newspaper editor writes
about advertising, the reader is apt to
think his remarks are colored by self-in-
tereSt
The other day, the Federal Home
Loan and Bank Review declared that 'the
newspaper is the most effective and IA
vorite advertising medium of progressive
savings and loan associations throughout
the country"
A poll of nearly three hundred Sc
lected associations showed that fifty-five
per cent of their advertising dollars went
for newspaper space and that seventy-two
per cent of the associations rated news
papers as the most effective advertising
mediums
Urging all associations to give more
attention to advertising, the Review said it
should have definite place in the yearly
budget and the money available should be
divided among the different media upon
the basis of known results.
This, we presume, is what might be
called impartial observation. Advertising,
very effective when intelligently used, is
often injured by the disappointment of
those who do not give sufficient attention
to their advertising.

POLISHING POINTS

A bottle of furniture polish on
a clean dry mop works wonders
on polished floors. Always rub
with the grain when polishing
furniture. 1t will polish more
quickly. Dry chamois rubbed
over highly polished furniture,
which has become cloudy, streakS
the surface and does not remove
the blur. Chamois wet in cold
water and wrung dry will give
a better polish. .Crumpled news
papers are excellent for polishing

TWO SUBJECTS
ARE DISCUSSED
BY LIONS CLUB
SEA SCOUTS SHIP ONE OF
TOPICS: REST ROOM FA-
CILITIES FOR BAYvIEW
PARK ALSO HEARD

Two important topics of city
wide interest were discussed and
acted upon at the regular supper
meeting of the Lions Club of Key
West held recently at Stone
Church Annex. President H. E.
Day was in the chair.
The Sea Scout Ship which the

ust Bradley, gave reports con-
corning activities of the ship and
called for support of the mem
bership in future plans to bring

nence.
Better rest room facilities for
Bayview Park are going to be

ton presented the club by the
Health and Welfare committee

Among some of the stragetic prob
lens of which the Navy expects to take
cognizance is the further fortification and
upbuilding of the local Navy base, since
this is the peninsular point which controls
the Yucatan passage into the Gulf of
Mexico and therefore holds the key to de-
tense of the gulf ports of New Orleans,
Mobile and Galveston. Key West topped

HIGHWAY OUTLOOK HOPEFUL

Despite some discouraging develop
ments the last few days, The Citizen be-
lieves the effort to obtain right of way for
completion of the Overseas Highway on
the old roadbed and viaducts of the Flor
ida East Coast Railroad soon may result in
an amicable settlement between the county
and r. C. Perky, owner of many thousands
of feet of the right of way needed for this
important work.
1t is understood that Perky is prepared
to give the county deed to a right of way
for the highway and the proposed water
system and so feet of all property he con-
trolls on each side of that right of way. In
their negotiations with Perky the members
to obtain 100 feet of land on each side of
the right of way.
Believing that SO feet of land on each
side of the right of way for highway and
water line is sufficient to provide ample
parking space and plenty of room for
planting of trees and other Identification
works, The Citizen feels that Perkys offer
should be accepted. 1t would be a fair
settlement of a vexing problem and would
speed plans for extension of the improved
highway from Big Pine Key to Key West
and from Lower Matecumbe to Florida
City.
It is reported that Perky fears that if
more land were controlled by the county
and state highway department on each
side of the right of way through his hold
ings large number of hot dog stands and
other Objectionable structures would be
erected The Citizen believes Perky is I'M
duly alarmed in this regard. It is not felt
that either county or state highway Off
Gals would permit such Objectionable
structures
The whole matter of preserving and
enhancing the beauty of the highway can
be settled by the adoption of a. county
zoning law This can prohibit certain
kinds of structures adjacent to the high
way and provide for an adequate number
of filling stations and restaurants of such
construction they would not detract from
the beauties. Signs can be prohibited ex-
cept at designated spots where they would
not be mar to the scenery, and the whole
highway beautified along the lines being
followed by the Overseas Road and Toll
Bridge district with the cooperation of
the National Park Service.
Il Perky, as reported, is willing to
deed a right of way and other lands he
controls all the way from Key West to the
mainland, and is willing to make other
reasonable concessions demanded by the
county commission, The Citizen believes
that the whole matter should be settled as
quickly as possible. There does not seem
and Perky that cannot be settled agree
ably.

Stacks of letters are being re-
ceived at the postoffice and
Chambr of Commerce from per-
sons in all parts of the country,
sent to be transported on an air
plane schedule, announced in As
ISOLATED Press dispatches to be
inaugurated in Key West about
January Is. The press report of
December 10, under a Washing
ton dateline, stated that two air
mail routes designed to connect
Key West with Latin-Amercian
countries, would be established
and the first would begin serv-
ice about January Is. The con-
tract for this service, it was stat
ed, would be owned by the Pan
American lines. This news re-
port was published recently and
1t is believed that it is the cause
of the many letters which have
been received at Key West to be
among the first to be sent by the
aiimail route. The Pan-Ameri-
can offices in this city have been
closed for some time and there
is no representative of the COM
pany in this city. Postmaster
Williams is of the opinion that if
the schedule was intended to
start from this port he would
have been notified and necessary
preparations ordered to be gotten
IN readiness. On the other hand,
there are fairly well authenticat-
ed reports that the Pan-American
offices in this city will be opened
about January Is but for what
purpose no one knows.
