Worth the Effort

WeStchester County has torn down the
toll signs along the Hutchinson River
Parkway. An unfavorable decision by
New York courts Tuesday caused the
county board of supervisors to order col
lection of tolls to cease. And now the
county will 60 about its task of refunding
to thousands of motorists the 10-cent
pieces that they dropped in the toll boxes
since this levy was initiated last August.
Fortunately for WeStcheSter County, it
only has to refund money to those who
can show receipts.
1t is estimated that fully half, if not
more, of the receipts that were given to
every motorist passing through the toll
gates on the Hutchinson River Parkway
have no receipts today. They were either
refused, thrown away, lost or given to
somebody who claimed to be making col
lection of them. Any such person in the
last category is lucky today, for he or she
can redeem all the coupons for 10-cents
EACH AS a matter of fact spectators
have been working in Westchester
County and adjoining Fairfield County
in Connecticut lately buying toll receipts
for half value
It is no surprise that the courts failed
to uphold the right of the county to levy
toll for use of the Hutchinson River
Parkway. Such an upset was conf
IDENTIFY predicted by many persons and
organizations from the very day that the
toll booths were set up in competition with
those of Connecticut on the Merritt Park
way. But Westminster County officials
have an ace up their sleeve. They will
open the viaduct at Fleetwood on the
Cross County Parkway almost immedi-
ately and they estimate that go per cent
of the traffic using the Hutchinson River
Parkway will pass over this structure and
pay 10-cent toll
There won't be the complaints about
this toll, though, that thers were about
the one on the Hutchinson River Park
way which has been used for many years
and probably now is almost fully paid for
The Fleetwood viaduct eliminates a bad
bottleneck along the Cross County Park
way an important link with the Saw Mill
River and Henry Hudson Pathways. Mo-
florists won't mind paying for this con-
venience, just as they cheerfully donate
at the Harlem River bridge. The solace
in such payments is that eventually
enough motorists will have contributed
sufficient to end the tolls.

A Thought for Today
The Same City Streets

Continued discussion of snow removal
in Waterbury only makes louder quar-
rel. But who can refuse any citizen the
right to criticize or praise the work that
has been done this winter or in previous
winters with regard to keeping thorough
fares open for the traffic to which every
American community has become ac-
customed in recent years? The Demo.
crat contends today, as it has right along
in years past, that Waterbury presents a
problem to any one official or set of Off
Gals who set about keeping its streets
cleared of ice and snow and paSsable for
vehicles at all times.
We ventured this same opinion often
during the administration of Mayor
Frank Hayes and were pooh-poohed for so
doing We still cling to the same opin-
ion. Our physical outlines are such that
when snow and ice hit this up-and-down
community they raise havoc Storms will
continue to do so, too, for many years to
come. There is only one way to meet
crucial situation, such as we have had
presented couple of times this winter
and that is by wholesale attack. I'm
fortunately that is an expensive PROPOSE.
ton and expensive propositions are taboo
in Waterbury right now.
It is possible that Waterbury suffered
by contrast with the work done in other
cities, but comparisons are odious, so
they say. For that matter it might be
shown that larger communities than
Waterbury, Boston for example, didn't do
az well as we did for few days after, the
first February storm. The truth of the
matter is that city officials attempted to
hew to line of economy in snow removal,
while citizens and critics in large num-
beers wanted a job that would cost a whole
lot of money. Which definitely proves
that human nature is contrary still, de-
handing sun when it rains and rain
when the sun endureS.

In Today's Mail

leaders presumably Father Cough
lin) were hurting unjust remarks at
the President and his Neutrality
legislation. In an effort to justify a
wrong, he sent Bishop Shiel to
Rome, in search of information con-
corning the, attitude Of a church
leader in poisoning the minds of
many Catholics and intimidating
with the aid Of his position with
the church. Bishop Shiel visited
President Roosevelt on his way to
Rome, to express the opinion of the
late Cardinal, that whatever in
suits Father Coughlin pointed his
way would prove, in due time, to
be a boomerang!
Bishop Shiel arrived in Rome and
had several audiences with Pope
Plus. Because 1t was an informal
visit, news agencies quickly stated
that Bishop Shells topic was based
on President Roosevelt's Neutrality
Bill and the attitude of church
leaders in the United States. Short
ly after Bishop Shiel embarked for
the shores of this country, the Vati-
can Newspaper, OBSERVATORY
ROMANO published a statement
blessing the President, and en-
phatically stated that it wished the
Presidents legislation to become law
and harassed the attackers of
Roosevelt who have called him a
war monger." The Vatican went
on to say that Roosevelt and the
Holy Pontiff were in accord with
each others peace plans. Although
the Vatican takes no sides in a
war, 1t emphatically states that the
World would be ruined If England
were defeated in war by neo-pagan-
istic Germany"
I want John fiesta to study the
above statements I made public
Pope Plus describes Roosevelt as a
pillar of peace. John fiesta called
him a war-mongerI If you have
read Festa's last letter you will note
that he describes my letters as
waste Of space. He says that his
information would force me to bury
myself in. Now wouldn't want to
say the same of John fiesta, don't
believe In using S.alin's tactics be-
cause he chooses to do so. But here
is why John fiesta and have been
on the parting ways for some time.

Recently State Highway Commissioner
William J. Cox spoke on the cost of snow
removal for his department. He esti-
mates that it costs about 100000 annu-
ally to keep state highways cleared for
traffic. That's lot of money to spend
on service that in the old days of horses
would have never been thought of. But
Commissioner Cox thinks that the state
is amply repaid for this amount of costly
service. He points out that the more
roads there are available all winter long
for driving, the more motoring there'll
be and consequently the more the state
will collect in gasoline taxes. The aver
age daily income for the state in gas
taxes is $1,000. BY maintaining this the
year round it certainly is not waste OF
time or money to keep roads plowed.. It's
one more argument, too, for us to show
that cities don't get a just return from
the state from motor vehicle taxation.

He Likes Horses

DR.. John Edmund Hasson of Bath,
N. Y, still makes his daily rounds with a
horse and buggy. He says he knows it's
a bit old-fashioned, but he will continue
to use his ancient means of transporta-
ton for two reasons: because he loves
horses and because II have reached a
state of mind where I propose, for the
residue of my days, in so far as possible,
to follow my inclinations."
If he can get away with it, the good
doctor will be doing what most of us never
quite have the courage to do - living his
own life, all by himself, unmoved by the
new automobile of the people next door
or the picturesque bonnet of the neigh
Dor to the right. Perhaps it isn't strictly
according to the code of progress; but DR..
Hasson happens to like horses, and so he's
going to keep his. He doesn't care boot
how the JoneseS live.

Don't get to thinking that spring will
be here on the 21St of March this year.
The season arrives day earlier than the
date we usually link with this gladstone
time of the year. This may be due to the
fact that we had an extra day in Febru-
airy or it may also be due to the fact that
calculation of the movements OF such
planets as the sun shows variations from
year to year. Wonder what the reform
calendar makers would do about eStab-
fishing a uniform date for the advent OF
