menting on the what he described
as the difficulty in checking the
condition of the water department S
revenues, the auditor observed that
the city installed a system of MA

in December. 1910. and added:
Due to the fact that the posting

that they apparently did not have

Limited Press Staff Correspondent)

Limited Press Staff Correspondent | Washington, Jan. g = (UP0 = Responsible congressional sources suggested today that President Roosevelt reorganized the fleet to re-smphasize "hig stick policy toward Japan.
 One prominent member of the senate naval affairs committee, who declined to be quoted, interpreted the reorganization as Ian effort to scare Japan" sg
 Establishment of three powerful fieets-the Atlantic, Pacific and Asiatic-was described by the Navy Department as routine" But in other quarters it was said that it was designed to assure efficiency in setting up a two-ocean navy and to let Japan know that an expansion is planned in our Asiatic naval strength.
 Strength Is Secret
 The Navy declined to reveal the present strength of the Asiatic fleet, known heretofore as the Asiatic o4udO1OA .4LIO 4oCb bAltI ", 1lOW ACT ceives the designation of fleet" in- dicates that it's strength has been increased and that further additions will be made as new warshipS are commissioned. Last available figures showed. that it comprised approxi- mately 50 vessels of all types.
 Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox, who said he had been direct ed by MT. Roosevelt to reorganize the navy "to fit the facts" said no increase is planned at this time in the strength of any of the three fleets.
 Most members of congress re- gard the new setup a national de- fense move undertaken strictly be- tween the chief executive and the navy. They terme dthemselves "am- aturs" and said they had faith in ''the accuracy of judgment of the naval command"

WATERBURY CASES. IN SUPREME COURT.
Appeal From Assessments Levied By City of Wa=
 terbury Heard Today

This afternoon at 2 p. m. the supreme court of errors at Hartford will hear the arguments on two ap- peals taken by the Connecticut Light and Power Company, from awards of damages to two people who claimed their summer homes were damaged by flood waters from Stevenson Dam. The cases were tried in superior court with jury awards made to the plaintiffs.
 William Wargo of Naugatuck was awarded $2,OO0, and Helen Delmar of New Haven 5000. The Company appealed from these awards. Plain- tiffs charged negligence in that the company failed to taken proper pre- cautions.
 The appeal of the Connecticut Railway and Lighting Company of Bridgeport against the City of Wa terbury from the refusal of the city to grant the company reduction of tax assessments, was among those heard yesterday by the supreme court of errors at Hart ford.

Fleet Reorganization ''Big Stick" For Japan
Navy Refuses to Reveal Present Strength of ASiatC . Fleet--MOst Members of Congress Believe in It

Representative Colgate w. Dar- den, Jr., D., Va, leading member of the house naval affairs committee, said that formation of an Atlantic fleet, heretofore known as the At lantic patrol force, was recognition of the need that naval units in the Atlantic and Pacific should operate as separate fleets coordinated but independently operated" ApproXi- mately 125 vessels now make up the Atlantic fleet.
 U. s. In Position
 Under the three-f1eet system, with a commander-in-c chief for each, the United States will be in position to put a coordinated force in acton in either the Atlantic or the Pacific or the Far East. Every warship will be manned at 100 per cent wartime strength under an order of, the pres ident expanding the enlisted per- sonnel from 192,000 to 232,000 men. Kncx said that as new vessels leave shipyards, the enlisted strength will be further increased.
 The supreme commander of the United States fleet, comprising all three, answerable only to the pres ident, Knox and the chief of naval operations, will be 58-year-old Rear Admiral Husband E. Kimmel, a hard-boiled native of Henderson, Ky. It will be his job, Knox said, to coor dinate the activities of the three fleets when all are operating to- gether. In addition, Kimmel will be commander -in-chief of the Pacific fleet, the main unit.
 Kimmel succeeds Admiral James O. Richardson-"Uncle Jo' to his friends-who was ordered to report to Knox for a new assignment. Richardson has been commander in-chief of the entire fleet only a year-an unusually short time for the post.
 Command of the, Atlantic fleet went to Rear Admiral Ernest J. King, who had been in charge of the old patrol force, and command of the Asiatic fleet remins in the hands of Admiral Thomas c. Hart.
 The reorganization takes effect February l..

 This wise Doctor knew liver bile must flow freely erery day into your intestines or fatty foods can't be properly digested and you may become constipated. So he kept this in mind when he perfected his famous Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets.

 During the last snow storm, Bill We1sa's State Highway blow went through Britain about 3:3O a. m. When the milk came down, Conn. TIP was as clean as a bar-room about extra pay for overtime. The about etxra pay for overtime. The National Defense Program hits bottle neck because of limited man-hours. But a fine guy like B-l WeaSa works all night in storm so his friends can get out in the morningD
 Do you ever wonder why U. s. Army chevrons point upward, in stead of down? It's because the United States never lost war. That isn't half of it; it will take a first-class power to lick them, with plenty of help.
 Henry Mccarthy is taking in- ventory and the things that gen. tlemen brings out from under the counter end of the top shelves would make an antique collector turn handsprings. Henry'S stock is heavy and the only short item we heard about was pea soup. All the holiday goods moved satis- factorily except the check boards. A checker board sale will probably be held about Groundhog Day.
 That 1941 calendar salesman has been around already but he left Britain without booking any orders. The way many of our folks feel, it may be lucky if there is any 1942, and we're all fitted out for the current year.
 Smoky Jenson came around with new car the other day and we asked him if it was his. Yes and no" Smoky said. Me an the finance company is in partner ship on the job."
 Bill Steindell managed to get out to the main road after the last SnOwStOrm without tow. The Spraddle Brock boys also showed up downtown without any com plaints except from Raymond Oberstadt who has a lame foot. Folks have missed Dave Marshall but he may be on a wood job somewhere.
 The penuriousness of some peo- pie is unbelievable. A local farmer who had been defeated in caucus has been a thorn in the hide of many politicians lately as he wages a vigorous campaign to be named a messenger at the Gen. eral Assembly on a salary of $450 a year. If the man stays home he can do without a hired man; if he goes to Hartford he has to drive 84 miles day. Figuring that at Sc 8 mile. it doesn't make sense. Can 1t possibly be that there are other attractions on Capitol Hill?
 Another rumor going the rounds concerns land values. As we hear the story, farmer up the valley is eagerly anticipating an offer of $45,00O for a farm that is probably listed on the tax books for about 20 per cent of that figure. n v
 Think of how easy it would be if'eTeryhody declared property for tax purposes as they do for valua- tion when a prospective buyer comes around. Tho public debt could be wiped out in single tax year at that rate.
