the townsfolk before they could get to the ballot box, and a good time was had by all.
 Seventy-One voters registered their approval of the Democratic ticket by voting straight. Three hundred and eleven Republicans voted straight, too. Gamblers who are free with their money are said to be betting even that MT. Willkie will carry S0uthbury in November. Chats one town fer Wendell, anyway. He will need it.) Four voters, overcome by the heat or something more potent, so scrambled their paper ballots that their votes were re- iected.
 Bill Schielke beat Johnny Rey- holds for the post of Third Se- ectfnan by three votes. Walt Har- riSon topped Harold Hennessey for the Board of Education" by only one vote. J. Edward Coer III remains our First Selectman for another term. (Southbury doesn't abide by the mo third term" theory. We run 'em as long as they can stand up to pass out cigarS.)
 That Town Meeting following the heavy voting of the morning was exciting and Illuminating. Mrs. Peterson, owner of Three Rivers Farms and the heaviest taxpayer in S0uthbury outside of politics, motOred over by way of Litchfield to attend that meeting and to suggest that some way be found to make her estate acces- sible from this end of the uni- verse.
 According to the Town Report, Southbury managed to build just IA miles O. improved Town Aid Road during the past year. (Each town in Connecticut re- ceives grant of about $17,500 from the State for the improve ment of second class roads each year. We note that $5.469.55 of State funds were spent on our roads during the past year.) No- body will deny that Jeremy Swamp needed fixing, but the sum total of taxes collected along the entire length of that road would hardly exceed the taxes paid every year by Mrs. Peterson.
 Mrs. Peterson's Three Rivers Farm is located so far from a de- cent Southbury road that the owners have to motor out to civ iIxation gia other townships with passable highways. The road to this farm along the Housat0nic River is in such condition that people are continually calling on Mrs. Peterson for assistance when their motors break down. She asks that SOuthbury try to grade the road and eliminate enough chuck holes so that a driver can get past her property without breaking springs. Her tax bill from the town of SOuthbury is about S36O a year and, like many other of our taxpayers, she would like to see some of that money spent on road that she might use. Her remarks at the Town Meeting won the approval of all persons listening.
 This taxpayer enjoys mighty little comfort during the season of rains. People stop at her house at all hours of the night to ask for directions as to how to get back to civilization via a passable road. Mrs. Peterson's hospitality is well-knwon but she can hardly be expected to maintain repair shop and tow service, or to fur- fiish information to passersby dur Ing the early hours of the morn ing. We hope she wins e new road, and soon.

FULLER WARREN
SPOKE SATURDAY

CONTINUED from Page One)
States income without increas-
ing taxes.
Declaring that Florida's light
rates, on an average, are from Is
to so per cent higher than those
in Georgia and Alabama, and
quoting statistics to show that
this is true right here in Key
West, Warren said that proper
regulation is the secret of lower
light rates."
Georgia and Alabama" War
rem said, land 81 other states of
the union, have state utility
commissions to regulate private
utility companies and to deter
mine what rates they can charge.
In Florida, the power companies
are unregulated. I propose, when
l am governor, to create such a
commission for Florida, and de-
mand an immediate reduction in
our rates."
Explaining that Florida's bond
manipulatorS now collect about
$31, 100000 annually from the
taxpayers of the state, in pay
ments on bonds which they
bought for one-third their face
value yet which still carry inter-
est rates of from five to six per-
cent, Warren declared he could
cut this toll more than in half.
'ThoSe bonds would be worth
less today, if the state should sud-
denly withdraw the approx
mately $10,000,000 of gas tax
monies it now donates toward
their payment every year., Mr..
Warren said. 81 propose to with
draw this subsidy, if the bond
manipulators do not voluntarily
reduce their interest rates to two
percent. I think they'll do that;
they'd rather have five and six
percent, but they'll be glad to
take the two percent if they see
they might not get anything at
all'.
In conclusion, Mr.. Warren told
his audience, "This slash in in
terest rates will put from Is to
18 million dollars back in the
treasury every year. There, it
can be used to pay adequate old
age pensions, living wages to
school teachers and school bus
drivers, improve and expand the
facilities at our various state in
situations, and, generally speak
ing, to cure every one of the fl
nancial ills which Florida now
suffers.
