 of members of the executive com- mittee. It reads as follows: To Members Of The Citizens Good Government Association: Two years ago this Association was founded with the idea that our city should and could have honest, effi- cient and economical administration of city affairs. Believing that the council-manager form of government was the best way to achieve such results, the Association succeeded in It's efforts to obtain a referendum vote on a new city charter which would provide for this form of ad- ministration. When one considers all of the reactionary forces which op- posed this charter, the fact that nearly ll,000 voters went to the polls on last October 3rd to vote YES" was most encouraging.
 The officers and Board of Man. agers feel that this affirmative ex- pression of almost ll,000 people Is @ mandate to continue the work of the Association to achieve good gov- ernment in Waterbury. We are still of the opinion that a change in our political system is desirable as the present party system in this city, or any other city, produces obligations which must be paid in order to keep the party machines functioning. ITO the party iil power belong the spells" IS not conducive to efficient and economical government.
 It may be some time before we again have the opportunity to cam- paign for a Council-Manager form of government. but there is, and will continue to be, definite need for an active and alert Association that will:
 Demand honest and efficient ad- ministration from city officials and departments.
 Support officials, boards or conn., ilittees who are conscientiously working for the common good and benefit of all the people of Wa terbury.
 Arouse public sentiment against any proposed act that, If put into effect, would be detrimental to our city.
 Follow closely civic affairs and keep our members informed on matters that are, directly or in- directly, of concern to them.
 The above statements briefly ex- plain the general aims and purposes of our organization. We have every reason to believe that the recently organized Taxpayers League will in no way conflict with, or duplicate this program.
 We hold to the belief that the As- sociation has performed 6 vital service to the citizens and taxpayers of Waterbury, and now, as we de- velop our future plans, we hope for your further support.
 Will you indicate your continued interest in the Association by sign- ing and returning the enclosed card. No postage required. Why not re- turn 1t today?

scraping with wooden spoon or
sharp stick. Another method is to
cover the burned food with damp
sodium bicarbonate, to allow to
stand for some hours, then to add
water and boil. When cooking some
kinds of food the aluminium may
become discolored. This is not from
dirt and is not harmful. 1t can be
removed by boiling tomatoes in the
utensil without the slightest harm to
the tomatoes. SCOT and dirt on the
outside of an aluminium utensil can
be taken off with steel wool and
soap. Wear gloves when using steel
wool.)
New Floor Over Old.
Question-My floors are in poor
condition. Will 1t be possible for ME
to lay new flooring on top?
Answer-If you are handy with
tools you should have no difficulty
The present floor should be nailed
tightly to the beams, knots and other
high places should be cut down, for
the under floor should be smooth
Put down a layer of building paper
For convenience you can get hard
wood flooring that is surfaced and
finished at the factory and that re-
quires no scraping or other finishing
after laying. You can get informa-
tion on these from any large lumber
yard. On request the manufacturer
will give YOU detailed Instructions
for laying the flooring.

DEVELOPMENT of neighborhood and
suburban shopping centers was dis
cussed by Raymond M. Taylor,
chairman of the Business Property
Leasing Committee, in addressing
members of the Washington Real
Estate Board in the third talk OF
the fourth annual forum.
He cited instances where out-of-
town investors have made large In
vestments recently being attracted
by the stability of local real estate
and the development mere. These
investors have been impressed with
the greater return which sound,
ell-financed real estate in an area
such as the National Capital offers
and are backing up their opinion by
acquiring local property, he said.
The technical phases Of present.
ing commercial property to investors
was brought out in connection with
the preparation of Property Briefs" !"
In discussing leasing, Mr.. Taylor
touched upon the various types OF
leases which are used, and the aver
age rates which are used in estimat-
ing what percentage of the income

giant arms are interlocked, each
around the other, causing their
branches to be so interviewer that at
q distance they look when in their
green garb like one immense tree
supported by two trunks. In the
spring one takes on an earlier tinge
of green than its brother and in the
autumn the elaborate gold of one
contrasts with the more delicate
tints of the other.
1t has been said by the older resi-
dents that when Admiral Edward
Donelson, who served in the United
States Navy from 1885 to 1876, and
who married daughter of Dr. Fen
wick, would be returning to An
napolis after long cruise-he would
search the horizon from the deck of
his flagship at certain location in
the Chesapeake Bay for those tall
poplars few miles across the coun-
try guarding the entrance to the
old homestead where his wife would
await his return.
The tree to the west measures 16
feet around the trunk l foot above
the ground, with combined spread
Of branches of 127 feet and height
OF 100 feet. The tree to the east
equals the other in height, but not
In spread. Its greatest girth is 13
feet.
About 100 yards from these pop
lars giant oak stands in the center
OF the lawn. This oak has a span
of 81 feet, is 80 feet high and has a
spread of 120 feet.

be sufficient to keep the garage
warm in cold weather, even with in
sulation. In order to reduce to some
degree the loss of heat In the
building it will be necessary to in
sulate the ceiling of the garage as
well as the side walls. There will
still be some heat loss through the
doors, unless they are thick and
have no thin wood panel inserts in
them. Some form of heat is ad-
visable.
Clogged Sewer Line.
Question-Being bothered with a
clogged sewer line, found the cause
of the trouble was tree roots. I
have cleared the line, but my prob
lem is, after severing the roots from
the tree, how am I to proceed with
killing the dismembered roots so
that they will not start growing
again?
Answer-To prevent the recur-
renee of this kind, copper rings in
tended for the purpose can be set
into each pipe joint. The copper will
prevent the roots of the trees from
getting back into the sewer line.
Write to the Copper and Brass Re-
search Association at 420 LeXir1gton
avenue, New York, for the name OF
firm making these rings.
Sooty Oil Burner.
Question-Two years ago we in
stalled an oil burner. 1t has been
most satisfactory, but for the last
two months everything in the house
has been covered with black SCOT.
The burner was cleaned and checked
at the close of the season last
May, and the chimney has been
cleaned twice this fall.
Answer-Your burner is evidently
badly out of adjustment. Too much
oil is being fed in proportion to the
supply of air. This is shown by the
fact that you have had to clean the
chimney twice this fall. With proper
adjustment of the burner cleaning
might not be necessary for a matter
of years. The burner should have
been adjusted at the beginning of
the heating season, not at the close
of the previous heating season. Reg
ular inspection of an oil burner by
a competent service man should be
a matter of practical hygiene.
Cleaning Aluminium.
Question - Please explain the
cleaning Of aluminium ware.
Answer-For burned-in food or
grease pour in hot water, boil hard
| for a few minutes and remove by
