One swallow doesn't make a summer nor does one spring-like day end the winter. We said this before; we'll say it again. Don't let the weather fool you. We're just emerging from February, which fortunately was no worse than anticipated, and heading right smack into March, a month that goes from one extreme to the other in less time than it takes to tell. In March beware not only the Ides, but every fair day bringing promise of spring.

JOKER IN HOUSING BILL MAY MAKE LOW RENTS SOAR
 251 Pennington Avenue,
 Hartford, Connecticut.
 February 27, 1889.

ESbA duAy @sp AoS0s Editor, Waterbury Democrat:
 One of the chief obstacles to prog ress in building low-rent housing projects in Connecticut, is a joker in the present state act which became effective in December, 1886, viz. Such bonds shall be available for purchase from the Authority only by the federal government and at not less than par"
 To eliminate this obstacle, the various local Housing Authorities in Connecticut have submitted three bills to the present legislature. One of these bills, H.B. 957, was passed i:l the House on Friday, Feb. 24, @ n-controversial day, and will come up for 8 vote in the Senate this week. Section 1, new clause, pro- vides, "(c) to create, (during not less than the six years immediately suc- ceeding its issuance of any bonds) Q reserve sufficient to meet the largest principal and interest payments which will be due on such bonds in any one year thereafter and to maintain such reserve"
 Inquiry discloses that this reserve is based upon @ departmental ruling, thc contention for which is question: able and with the possibility that the ruling may be rescinded. The local housing authorities have com- plete and unrestricted power rela- tive to the terms of the bond issues and inquiry discloses the possibility that the bonds to be issued for pri- vate investment may all mature at the same time. Should this occur, then there is the possibility of a ju- dicial decision stating that the re- serve created during the first six years of operation of a housing au- thority must provide e sum sufficient to pay of the total bonds, issued for private investment, due at the end of thirteen years.
 Recognizing the fact that low-rent housing projects will not be self supporting there is Q provision for both federal and municipal par- ticipation to subsidize Q project. As a rule the subsidy is more than suf- ficient to pay of the interest and principal at average payments dur ing a period of 60 years. Therefore. the rents to be charged need be suf- ficient only to pay for the operating cost of a project, for repairs and to

Southeast Citizens
Reject Report, Urge
Federation Program
Association, However,
Calls for Three
D. 6. Executives

In two linked resolutions, the
Southeast Citizens Association voted
last night for rejection of the Griff-
enhagen report "in toto" and ad-
vocated adoption of all but one sec
ton Of the eight-point plan for city
council, recommended by the Fed
Grafton of Citizens Associations.
The group specified the need for
three executives of the local govern
ment instead of the Federation's
proposed single head.
Leading the attack on the Griff-
enhagen plan, Louis Prick criticized
the fact that there was no specific
method proposed for selecting coun-
cilmen, thereby leaving the posi-
bility of the Districts being governed
by outsiders as in the past" He
added, There Is no mention about
local suffrage and local suffrage mas
been and will be our ultimate goal
above everything else"
Would Press for Goal.
William A. Maio, president OF the
association, declaring the elective
principles of the Federation plan to
be definite step toward full repre-
sentation. emphasized that unless a
plan such as this is adopted the de-
lay in obtaining local suffrage will be
prolonged. while we have this op-
portunity we must insist on having
the power to elect our own city
officials and in some manner place
the control Of the District budget in
our own hands," Mr.. Maio said.
A special committee to study de-
velopments of the Griffenhagen
report was appointed by Mr.. Maio,
consisting of Mr.. Frick, Vernis
Absher, the Rev. George M. Bennett
and j. G. Lane.
The association protested shifting
the municipal lodging house to the
Southeast section. citizens contend
ing there is a sufficient number of
undesirable" public agencies in the
heart Of the section at present.

VII VIC SdlllC 6lOulluS CllC klOup
voted to protest the planned con-
struction of boat dock at the foot
of Virginia avenue Sc. on the Ana
costa River to serve local penal in
stitutions. j. G. Lane pointed out
that boats travelling to and from the
dock will have to pass through the
Eleventh Street DraWbridge through
out the day and night. thereby
snarling heavy traffic operating on
the pass. The association author
lied President Maio to appoint a
spespecial committee to investigate
the matter and to consult the COM
mandants of the Navy Yard and the
Naval Station to determine their at
titude on the subject. The commit
tee is comprised of Mr. Absher, Mr.
Frick. B. G. Ladd, William J. Carey
and John Schmitt
Additional appropriations for Gal
linger Hospital were urged by the
association. which declared the need
of larger personnel to facilitate
better working hours.
