(BY THE OUT EAsTER)

NDA AAG w CfA0 EkII
just now in these busy political
times, little is heard of the &C.
counting firm of Griffenhagen,
famous for its finding of few
years back, when it proposed
everything new for Waterbury, in
its report to the charter commits
sion of 1880 or Whereabouts.
But Griffenhagen is still right
here in the Aldermanic chamber,
dozen or so of them, burning
electric light daily, all hours of the
day time, in some routine work
that is being done for the city in
relation to tax collection.
For our part we do not know
why they still linger, but they are
here, running hither and thither
to all parts Of the building, as busy
as little bees, pencils stuck behind
their ears, and apparently studying
all angles and passages of the 1880
city charter for Interpretation.
The general public has little
knowledge of just what they are
here for. but our understanding
is they are under contract to sur
vey back taxes and the like, and
outline an improved system for
collection, if such is possible.
The name Griffenhagen is
nightmare to many of us who
read the report of the charter
commission.
Unless the Board of Aldermen
becomes busy, the present head of
the firm and his great big lot of
aids are liable to continue to burn
electric light in the day season
until "the COWS come home"

Morris AppIebaum
Death of Prominent
Local Jewish Resi-
dent Mourned by
Many Friends.
tBY THE OUT EASTER,

Our memory of Morris Apple
baum who died at his home in
Spencer avenue a day or two ago,
dates back to the days of the
Nineties when, If we are right, he
was one of the several tinware
peddlers Of the city, travelling on
various days through the week to
various parts of the city, and
selling his mops, brooms and pans
to the numerous houSeholders
who GENERALLY responded to the
toll of the bell which dangled
from underneath the neck of the
old horse used to drag the heav-
lily ladened outfit through the
then unpaved streets. 1t was the
day of the old time Jewish ped
dler, with rags to boot" for the
tinware received.
Charley Grilley's rag shop and
broom factory, and tinsmiths
shop on the south side of Grand
Grand street near South Main
street provided the headquarters
for these peddlers, for it was here
they were all outfitted before they
started on their daily rounds. (
tn life Of the peddler in those
days, was somewhat saddened at
times by the attitude of the neigh.
borhood gangs and school boys
whose delight then seemed to be
to take "shot" at the driver with
some decayed fruit, or possibly a
SNOWFALL Farmers as well as ped
oilers had to duck" when they
passed the Out East gang of 40
years ago at the corner of Wall
or Taylor streets.
Morris Applebaum may not
have been one of these peddlers,
but we have always felt that we
so met him in our young days. We
remembered him for his kindness
toward those with whom he did
business, his affable manner, and
his desire always to be open, hon.
est and square in every dealing
with his fellow man.
Years afterwards we recalled
him in the millinery store ON E.
Main street and also as an insur-
ance man. He knew thousands of
people by reason of his long res
idence in Waterbury.
Everybody liked him; he was
welcome in all company, was
good citizen, and therefore an
asset to the city of his adoption,
his home for these many years.
Years ago he, and the Wanks, the
Mendelsohns, Greenbergs, the late
Samuel and his family, the Isa-
dore Chases and few others
made up the small Jewish popu-
lation Of the city.

006 feet of bituminous macadam,
20 feet wide, beginning at point
just north of Hartland Pond road
and extending northerly and east
erly to Metropolitan Water Bureau
Road "C", Section /.
Near Greenwich
The Merritt Highway project in
Greenwich, calls for the construc-
ton of a two span, welded steel,
rigid frame bridge over the Park
way at Lake avenue, with approach
es for the bridge and an approach
from Cherry Valley road to Lake
avenue. The Lake avenue approach
es will require the grading and
construction of approximately 1900
feet of roadway while the Cherry
Valley road approach will be high
way about 1860 feet long. When
completed this will eliminate six
grade entrances to the Merritt Park
way that are now in use. The con-
struction schedule is arranged to
permit the continuance of enough
grade intersections to serve both
roads until the bridge is completed.
Minor changes in the surface of the
Parkway and in its drainage sys-
tenn will be required since at the
time the Parkway was built it was
not planned to have this over-pass.
The other improvement on the
Parkway is at its present eastern
end near the Huntington Turnpike
crossing In the Town of Trumbull.
This calls for grading and drainage
work on both sides of the crossing
in anticipation Of the exit of Park
way traffic to the Huntington
Turnpike.
School Buses
The work In Groton and Cornwall
will be of primary concern to school
bus operators, who will no longer
be subject to surprise traffic haz-
ards at these points. In Cornwall
it Is proposed to cut away the high
bank near the intersection of the
Cream Hill road and Route 20 to
permit BUSES to make the turn into
the proposed school grounds on the
north side of Cream Hill road. In
Groton ledge is to be removed at
the corner Of Buddington road and
US Route /, about three quarters of
a mile from the Robert e. Fitch
high school.
In Litchfield d 30-foot span con-
crete slab bridge on steel Orders is
proposed for the Mortified road,

Great Dane
By LILLIAN cox ATHEY.

BY LILLIAN COX ATHEY.
These large dogs have been bred
In Denmark and Germany for years.
They belong with the German boar
hound, and they are the largest Eu-
ropean representative Of the masti1
group. Because Of their special abil-
ity for hunting boars and deer, they
were bred for this purpose. Their
highly developed sense Of hearing
and their formidable size, as well as
their ability to carry out threat,
established them as ideal watch dogs.
The Great Dane is a cross between
the bulldog and the greyhound.
It is, as you well know, a most i'm
pressive creature and Of wonderful
proportions, with slender legs,
somewhat pointed muzzle, slender
tail and beautiful large eyes.
Its silky close hair coat gives to
its possessor streamline appear
ance It is usually black and yellow
Or dark yellow In color and uniform
shade. Usually the ears are cropped
on the European dogs. This is too
bad, since the pointed ears, when
erected, indicate at once that the
Dane is at attention or catching the
messages on the air.
Their ancestry can be traced back
to the Egyptian period, when this
dog was in great demand. So it is
said that the Great Danes that are
bred in Germany today came from
this stock.
Heights for these dogs vary from

cannot be said to be an apartment

In its own country 1t was bred for
hunting large game, especially the
wild boar, and also as a guardian
angel for homes and children. It
is fond of children and highly re-
spected by other animals and man
for this responsibility.
We do not breed this dog extern
sively in this country, though it is
well liked. Rather de we depend
upon those few who like and know
the dogs, to supply the growing de-
mand for them, by obtaining from
them the offspring of their own
Danes. Fortunately, there are many
who have large estates and can af-
ford to have these very fine dogs.
