sons that the governor has taken no action on the appointment.
 The theory was advanced that if Judge McNiff is reappointed 1t will be with the general under standing that some of the minor court places will be filled by Demo- crats. Already the name of Attor- ney Maurice T. Healey has been mentioned for prosecutor, the post now held by Attorney J. Warren Upson, acting for Atty. Williem J. Larkin, who is i'll, but who has held the prosecutorship for many years. Court Clerk William Gillette is reported to plan to retire at the conclusion of the present court term. He has been sick for some tin and his place has been filled by Attor- ney James E. Mcknight, who has been mentioned as the most likely successor.
 All four Waterbury legislators early in the present session went on record as favoring the reappoint- ment of Judge McNiff, but a feeling persists in legislative circles that Gov. Hurley may consider seriously naming a Democrat to the court.

An- other official wants to know the number of men that should man 0 fire engine; the opinion of author- ities and the experience of other cities are made available. A citizen may want to know about new sources of revenue elsewhere; @ second may want to know about water rates; a third may want to know about prop erty tax exemptions - your assoc ciation is ready to serve them. 1n- formation is continually being col- lected on the operations of other cities, and as to the most up-to-date practices with regard to municipal operations. Here again, your asso- citation can render an invaluable service to interested city officials, as well as to taxpayers, by pointing out the best practices which have been found to work elsewhere as well as the pitfalls to be avoided.
 Looking Toward The Future
 Looking toward the future, there are numerous phases of our city government on which I feel we should concentrate our efforts dur ing the next few months. A contin- uation of our departmental studies Is desirable. Frequently the operator on the job Is much too close to the picture and accustomed to obsolete and antiquated methods and pro- cedures to realize their shortcom- ings. An outsider coming in can, on the other hand, detect duplicated efforts which have never been real- ized before. Such surveys give city much better picture of itself and keep It's citizens informed as to how their tax dollar Is being spent,
 Before an association of this type can even begin to function prop erly, 1t must have a great volume of information and statistical data re- garding not only our own city, but also other municipalities. All of this takes time to gather, the benefit of which will be forthcoming in AuIulC LllOAiIlio, 1iiC CAH,SAACAASC OA other associations has been that from three to five years are re- quired before research has been progressed to a point where results are attained, and where recommen- dations are accepted, Information from the New Haven Association, for example, shows that during the first three years of operation only a comparatively few recommenda- tions were accepted, and that now, after seven years of operation. they are just beginning to get real re- suits. Judged on this basis, feel that our progress is more than sat- isfatcory, and that we have laid a sound ground work for even more fruitful results in the future.
 Membership
 Tn order that the work of your association may be the greatest value. it is desirable that our mem bership be increased. Some of our members are inviting their friends and associates to join. All members gan render valuable assistance to s.he association by promoting this movement.
 Sincerely yours.

Disastrous Year For Normal

The advantage changed hands
five times during the opening perl
cd. Balancing the four baskets
made by BENEFITS were exactly
the same number OF field goals by
Charlie Adams. lanky center. This
pair virtually staged a personal duel
in the scoring column.
Immediately after the second half
began, Detroit went ahead on a bas-
ket by Art Stolkey. BENEFITS came
back to tie the. score, however. on a
free throw. Again Detroit pushed in
front. this time by Ellis margin.
Although the Hurons made three
quick points to deadlock the game
once more, they couldn't hold back
the Titans. who again forged ahead.
Detroit ran up 1924 count. which
