this matter instead of having poll. cies dictated to them by taxpayers, who do not fully understand the working conditions under which these departments are doing their duty"
 The union declared that their membership has a direct interest in the issue. "As rent payers and tax payers" one speaker said, i've feel that the city in these times has evs cry need for the full and able pro- lection offered by well manned po- lice and fire departments.
 The action of the union was inc spired by the reports of the Water- bury Taxpayers league calling for reduction of the personnel of both departments. The reports were sllb- mitted to the board of finance.
 One spokesman also charged that the firemen are on the 84-hour 8 week basis, according to Kingsley Keillor, publicity director. MT. Keil- Tor also quoted the speaker as say- ing that the f1remen encounter dif- faculties when asking for vacations and holidays.

 Current Problems
 The discussion of the need for a licensing law will climax a program devoted to current problems of real tors, problems accentuated largely by the increased part played in the real estate market by bankers and by state courts which have jurisdic- tion over condemnation proceedings.
 Without any state licensing law now, anyone in Connecticut is per- mitted to "dicker" over real estate and many brokers complain of hav- ing to Split" commissions with bar bers, tavern keepers and all types of persons who keep their hands dipped into the sometimes lucra- tive real estate pot while engaging in other businesses.
 Many persons believe that a n- censing law will give added dignity to the profession and "clean it up."
 Another subject of wide impor- tance will be discussed before the convention by Walter M. Perry, state banking commissioner, who will talk on Cooperation Between Bankers and Realtors.
 The need for such a discussion is prompted by the fact that some Connecticut banks have become the largest owners of real estate in the state and daily play more impor- tant part in marketing properties and land.
 A third talk of interest to nearly every realtor in Connecticut will be given by Aubrey Maddock of Hart ford, who will speak on "Condemna- tion Appraisals and Court Testi- mony."
 Housing Authorities
 Since the creation of local hous- ing authorities in many of the states largest cities, condemnation proceedings have increased conSid- erably and realtors are being called upon repeatedly to appraise prop critics and Ian deither for the hous- ing authorities or the property owner whose land is being taken by right of eminent domain. Many condemnation actions are also in- stituted by the state highway com- missioner in taking land for the construction of new highways or the improvement of old ones.
 The convention proper will get at p. m. at the Hotel Taft. The first speaker will be Stephen P. Hackley, field represen- tative of the Connecticut State De- velopment Commission, who will talk on ''The Realtors Place in the Industrial and Residential Develop ment of Connecticut"
 Other speakers will include: Will liam H. Ballard, of Boston, past regional vice-president of the Na- tional Association of Real Estate who will speak on New England Realtors Need a More Closely Knit Organization; Alton T. Maxim. past president of the Maine association, whose topic will be Merchandising Real Estate; Parker Webb, of Boston, regional vice-president of the NAREB, "Ex- periences of a Regional vice-Presi- dent"; and Vincent P.
