Working On Schedule

Construction of the athletic field on Watertown Avenue under WPA auspices reveals one flaw in this type of work. It is not done along scheduled lines. It proceeds at pace which is set, more or less, by local conditions. The project was, from the very outset, popular one. An athletic field for high school competition, as well as amateur competition, was Sorely needed in Waterbury. One was needed where sufficiently large crowd could be given good accommodations to enable expenses to be met. Certainly the plans for the field answered our best dreams.
 But the work did not proceed accord ing to any definite schedule. There was no time limit set when the field would be ready for use. The latest informa- ton is that it may be used when the football season opens in the fall. Next spring, however, will be the real opening, we presume, with baseball diamonds available and full facilities for seating large crowds as well as caring for the players. It seems like long time to wait n view of the fact that so many big projects are being completed in these modern days in short order without scrimping on details or quality of work. However, that's one thing which the city is getting in big dose up at the Water town avenue field. The drainage sys- tenn built in there is second to none and should make playing surfaces readily available after the hardest of rains. This is distinct advantage. We understand, too that the surfacing in the running track is of superlative and very modern quality. Of all these things we are very proud But the proof of any project is in its use. So long as the athletic field remains idle, it's value can never be demonstrated.
