The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-10-10

Much is heard these days about lower
taxes in Waterbury. The general idea
right now is that the successful candi-
date in the approaching mayoralty
campaign may be the one offering the
best program of civic endeavor coupled
to tax reduction. It isn't as simple as all
that, though, as the next executive OF
our fair city will find out. There are
many factors entering into the situa-
ton which may prove that claims OF In
flated tax rates here are slightly inflated
themselves.
For example we don't suppose that any
tax reduction would be attempted at the
price of further salary cuts for city off,
Gals, including, naturally, all the
school teachers, the firemen and the
policemen. These pay-cuts will be re-
stored and the departmental salary
basis restored to what it formerly was
before such economies were reSorted to.
That is only a small item to be sure, but
there are others. An important one is the
street construction program.
And there are other services, too that
are being demanded in the nature of
street lights, sewers, sidewalks, etc. OF
course assessments enter into this pic
ture, but so do taxes. And we mustn't
lose sight of the fact that the city is ex-
pecting to complete the second pipe line
from the Morris reservoirs. And there is
the little matter of sewage disposal
plant plus the necessary linking of trunk
line sewers to it.
We mention all these things because
they enter into Waterbury's financial
picture for the future. Reduce the taxes
by all means, but don't forget that the
city faces many important projects.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-10-10
Coming Decision

Everybody who is interested in free
dom of speech and of the press - and
that ought to be everybody will watch
with considerable interest the outcome
of test case which the U. S. Supreme
Court is expected to decide next month.
The test involves three state laws re-
stricting distribution of leaflets in Wis
consin, California, and Massachusetts,.
All are based on the prevention of street.
littering, and have been upheld in state
courts.
Two clear rights seem to clash here
States would seem to have the right to
prevent the littering of city streets. And
people have the right to hand out leaflets.
As in all cases where two theoretical
rights conflict, one must yield.
Much as any orderly person hates to
see streets Uttered with discarded leaf
lets, it is hard to see how any such con-
sideration outweighs the right of people
to hand out printed appeals to their fell
low citizens. Any undue restriction of
this simple, elemental right strikes a
heavy blow at one of our traditional free
dons. And this is no time to be restrict
ing freedom, but to be charging and
indicating it.

Leadership Questioned

Leadership of the Republican Party OF
Waterbury was seriously questioned last
night. In a hard-fought and very close
primary battle the forces of the Town
Committee emerged victorious by having
delegates elected from 10 of the 80 dis
trictS. The Perriello forces will have dele
gates from the remaining fourteen dis
tricts. All of which indicates how well
satisfied a cross-section of the Republican
voters of this city are with our present
mayor and desire an opportunity for him
to prove his proves at the polls.
It would seem in all fairness to Mayor
Perriello that the powers that be
in COP ranks should have shown him
more consideration than they have in
the last few weeks. Without so much as
the courtesy of an apology or word OF
sufficient explanation the COP Town
Committee seeks a new candidate Tor
the mayoralty contest. 1t hasn't yet
found one, but it has made it plain that
it's candidate is not to be Mayor Perriello.
All of which is enough for anybody, even
if possessing no utilization with the
Republican Party to express some indig-
nation.
But the Town Committee can't do
much chortling over Monday nights
VICTORY. IL may loC even prove W NC oiAe
when the delegates 60 to the town con-
vention. After all and despite the fact
that it was pointed out that the Town
Committees ticket got total of 1872
votes to LIS for Perriello's, switch of
ten votes would have changed the pic
ture and given the latter II districts to
the formers Is.
Districts 3-8, Al and ga were the cru
cial ones where the few votes difference
meant control of the delegation. The
Town Committee drew it's largest vote in
Bunker Hill and in the boulevard section.
In the strong Perriello districts there was
no outpouring of votes because leaders
knew they weren't needed. All in all this
primary victory may prove to be dis
astrous one for COP rather than cement
ing it's broken lines

There will be an unusual spectacle in
Connecticut this fall. All of the large
cities of the state will be holding munich
pal elections in November. Waterbury
makes this possible by it's deferred cleo
ton on November a. Ordinarily we vote
in October in the odd years for our city
and town officials. The city manager
referendum changed this around and
was held on the date when the city cleo
ton normally takes place, thus moving
the bigger event back month. All the
other cities - Hartford, New Haven,
Bridgeport, Meriden, etc, will also vote
in November. New Britain is an excep-
ton to this rule. It votes on the second
Tuesday in April in the even years So is
Stamford where they vote on the first
Monday of October of the even years.
This is "town meeting" date, but in the
small towns is held annually, although
a few now have adopted the biennial
election ideas.

Connecticut fair-time is slowly but
surely drawing to a close. There are still
a number of these popular and typically
New England events on schedule, but the
best-known of the lot have gene down
into history. We can't forget, of course,
our old neighbor, Wolcott, returning to
the wars this year with renewal of its
famous fair, once an event in this section
of the state and then discontinued for
some reason unknown to us. The country
fairs is something that should be en-
couraged by the city folk just because it
is natural custom of this section OF the
country. -.

little brown bird among the weeds is cracking
seeds IN its bill,
And how loud it sounds up here in the woods, where
everything's still!
So heavenly still and peaceful, with the sunshine
Pickering down,
And only restful murmur coming up from the rest

Oh the gay little chirpng and twitterng; the utter
of tiny wings:
The joyful scampering Of squirrels and shy little
woodland thngsl
How they take you back to happy days when you
were an eager child
Who loved to watch and listen to the creatures of
Gods great wild!
Master Wind the oedst musician, plays softly upon
the trees
Drawing from oak and pine trees sweet dreamful
harmonies
Like lullabys sung by a motehr as she bushes her
child to rest,
Holding its tired little form casped close to her
loving breast.
Though the woods are always waiting with a
mothers welcome for all,
They never seem quite restful as they do in the
early fall!

OCC. o, AoSo'
Editor, waterbury Democrat:
With the kind permission Of the
Waterbury Democrat, I wish to
answer Sam Cipriano for his uncall-
ed for and unwanted nasty re-
marks" against Father Coughlin.
Sam, you have tried to paint Q
pretty picture for yourself, and q
bad one for Father Coughlin and
his Coughlinites. Where is your faith
in Jesus Christ when you attack a
Catholic priest. our Lords represen-
tative on earth, by calling him a
Mad Monk" and his house the
Shrine of the Silver Dollar" You
should be ashamed Of yourself.
| Sam, may ask why your co-author
did not sign his name also, to your
nasty letter? He helped you plan It,
he went to the trouble Of getting
the magazine that carried that rot
ten story about the Mad Monk" (By
the way it was an "Annenberg Pub
LEGATION" the same Annenberg that
is indicted in Chicago) Or did your
co-author swim back into the scum
of the ocean, from where he and
his kind came from (He believes
life originated there). Surely Sam,
you do not intend to take all the
credit?
Sam as for the Coughlinites cuss-
ing and violent behavior, we do not
have to defend ourselves, your own
letter proves the type of words that
you and your atheist co-author use
No more for personal feelings.
As for Father Coughlin, he needs
no defending against your false re-
marks. Rev. DR.. Edward Lodge
Curran president Of the Catholic
Truth Society Of the world backs
him up 100 per cent, that Is good
enough for me.
| You stated In your letter that Mr.
Ayotte does not represent the 5th
district, true he does not, but you
also take great pride In poll Of q
widely circulated magazine, In stat
ing that 86 per cent Of the people of
the U. s. favored England against
Germany, and "a per cent favored
Cash and Garry as Is per cent
against Cash and Garry. Since when
