ROAD TO SKI LAND

From the difficulties that people
are having in trying to reach the New
Germany recreation area by way of
the road leading from the National
highway east of Grantsville, it might
be well to think of another way that
may be much easier and more Access
sible in snowy weather.
Certainly it would be more practi.
cal for eXcursionists who might come
from Baltimore, Washington, or other
eastern points, if an easier way is
found.
From Thayerville, on U. S. route
PIG, eight miles north of Oakland, it
is nine miles to the New Germany
area by way of the Meadow Mountain
CCC camp, and there are no steep
hills.
The CCC boys already keep the five
miles of roadway from the camp tc
Thayerville open so that their trucks
can get to town for supplies. Now, if
the State Roads Commission is CO.
operating by keeping the road open
part way from the National highway
east Of Grantsville, they could just as
easily cooperate by keeping the five
miles open from Thayerville to Mea-
dow Mountain camp, and leave the
CCC boys free to keep the remaining
four miles open.
Excursionists from Baltimore and
Washington could be brought to Oak
land over the B. and O., and taken to
New Germany by bus, a distance of
IL miles. Dropping excursionists at
Cumberland still makes it necessary
for them to travel over 20 miles to
get to New Germany, and many who
tried to go there over the weekend
by the Old Trails road, were unable
to get through the drifts.
A ski place is not much good unless
people can get there to use it.

The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-03-05

Hartford, March 5-A warning to "would-be tax invaders" and a promise to the people of Connecti- cut that the state is not going witch hunting were voiced by Governor Raymond E. Baldwin last night in a statewide radio broad cast discussing the municipal audit of Connecticut's towns and coni- munities.
 "The purpose of municipal audits, " said Governor Baldwin, lis not to catch up" with anybody-not to go "witch-hunting." The General As sembly's purpose was, and our pur- pose will continue to be- to give Connecticut better government bet ter administration of government and better methods of hadling and accounting for local funds"
 Governor Baldwin praised the State Tax Department for its work in assisting the towns in creating a uniform method of accounting.
 Not Good Business
 "We have found tax collectors in some towns,"' the Governor contin- ued, "using single entry bookkeeping system; others using double entry. Some have been using systems of their own invention entirely. There is nothing wrong, but that it not god business practice"
 The chief executive spoke of the cooperation being given the State Tax Department by the towns and remarked that the towns themselves are eager to do away with old-fash- toned methods.
 In lauding the Municipal Audit Act, passed at the 1889 session of the General Assembly. Governor Baldwin said:
 An independent audit reveals, without fear or favor, what taxes are raid, what taxes are unpaid. Politics cannot influence the &C., counting: the record is there for all to behold.
 Most of our Connecticut people regard a tax bill as they regard any other personal debt-a debt to be paid.
 But for those few would-be evaders, the knowledeg that any evasion. any failure to pay, will show Up inevitably in the auditors re- port |. that knowledeg should have

repairs, he said, "it has been found necessary to limit loads on the bridge to 10 tons. That bridge is still very dangerous"
 The bridge matter came up when the board of works submitted a re- port that the engineering bureau had plans for the bridge "in pro- gresS."
 Alderman Walker leaped to his feet. More than year ago., he declared, T called this boards at- tention to the dangerous condition of that bridge. I went up there with two engineers and we found that the bridge was extremely un- Safe."
 Bridge ReflOored
 "But our city engineer, said MT. Walker, told us politely that the bridge was ready to fall of its own yet. He said there was no need to worry. In December the city decid- ed to refloor the bridge, and 1t was found then, as I'd claimed, that the bridge was raedy to fall of its own weight. The trusses and supports are still dangerous"
 "Our engineering department is the most expensive in the state, MT. Walker went on, "but all it's doing is stalling. It amounts almost to criminal negligence to let people use this bridge the way it is now. We want more than a report of progress; let's have some action" Funds for the erection of 8 new Baldwin street bridge are provided in this years budget. MT. Walker urged that construction start as early in the spring as possible.

Charging that the engineering bureau has been terribly lax, AL derman Burton Walker declared at a meeting of the board of aldermen last night that "the city is lucky that a bus load of people hasn't gone through the Baldwin street bridge and fallen into the river or on to the railroad tracks" Alderman Walker a Republican attacked the engineering bureaus delay in draw ing up plans for the proposed new bridge and alleged that the bridge is still extremely unsafe despite re- pairs made only a few months ago.
 On motion of Alderman Walker, the board voted unanimously to have the engineering bureau furnish at the next meeting full report of the exact status of the bridge plans and an outline of the building plans.
