ctr William C. Boyee has APP
pointed instructor M b r a y
Kountze to help direct the box

and soldiers will be invited to
witness the tournament which
will be free to the public.
Heavy pillow gloves will be
used to prevent injury to parti-
cipants. This thrilling event has
twice been postponed due to
current conditions, but if pres
ent arrangements meet success,
this boxing tournament will be
one of the greatest sports events
in the history of the city. The
age limit for entries has been
set at twenty years. The older
boys will, however, be allowed
only in the heavyweight class.
Next week we hope to print all
the names of our local boys
who entered on the program.

x The OUT EASTER


It's rather Strange about our
Waterbury Fireinen.
The recent death of Private
Matthew A. Galligan of 25 Green
leaf avenue reminds us that a
number of the fellows in this line
of city service have passed out
during the past year or two. Matt
always appeared SO rugged, me-
dunn sized, husky locking, stocky
in Lui.d, ard makeup, to such an
extent we felt he was just the
type for long years in the depart
ment he entered. But something
must have happened, for when we
saw him the last time, he had lot
some weight, ard something was
bothering him; we knew it was his
health, but we never inquired; we
never ask people concerning their
ailments; this is of their own con-
Germ and that of their family. Too
many people often ask when they
hear a person is sick, Just what
is his ailment." One who does this
hardly knows his place in life.
And as plain matter Of fact it is
none of their business; the fact
that person is i'll, is sufficient,
and no one outside of the family
circle shoula know the real cause
of the trouble.
When Matt Gallivan first jcired
the fire service, he was ASSIGNED
to Station No. s. of the bungalow
type, on East Main street opposite
the Southmayd road. 1t was a
just assignment, inasmuch as Matt
was an "Out Easter, and lived
within short distance of the sta
ton. From the very first day,
Matt Galligan proved himself a
worthy fireman; he was willing,
obedient, and attentive to his
duties. At no time did he have
trouble of any kind with his COM
maneiing officer; he knew what it
was to be at the head of a COM
pany because of his military ex-
perience in the old 102nd Regi-
menu back before the war; he was
a lieutenant in Company G and
went to the Mexican border with
the outfit. Therefore, his train
ing in the military we'll fitted him
for his new line of duty in the fire
department..
Matt was New Haven born, but
had, the advantage of spending a
number of years in Ireland before
his; return home; his talks on life
in Ireland during his young days
were most interesting. What he
saw ard Observed and what people
said to him while he was in Ire
land were often related by him to

army air corps supply bill, carrying

There were no changes in the bill

Attorney John H. Cassidy of this
city spoke against the plan for an
integrated state bar at history
making hearing of Connecticut
high court judges yesterday in the
county court house in New Haven,
marking the first time the states
supreme and superior court magis-
strates ever sat together to consider
legal petition.
Strong opposition developed de-
spite the arguments advanced by
those in favor of the plan, which
was favored in statewide poll and
is being advanced by a committee
of the state bar association.
Charles M. Lyman, heading the
proponents, declared that chief
among the advantages of an inte-
grated bar would be improved pub
lie relations; better discipline and
effective combating of unauthor-
lied practice Of law; better relations
between bench and bar: and gen.
eral increase in prestige and eff
cheney of lawyers.
Samuel H. Platcow, president OF
the New Haven County Bar associa-
ton, and chairman of the state bar
committee. introduced the petition
before Lyman's argument was
made.
James A. Wheeler, secretary of
the state bar association, in voicing
the opposition OF some members OF
the organization, declared he doubt
ed E~ether the SIS fee contemplated
for the integrated bar when re-
ceived from approximately 2,40o
lawyers in the state) would pay eX-
penses of the salaried executive sec
rotary and clerks necessary to the
integrated bar setup.

FIRE VOLUNTEERS
BEING ENROLLED
Interested Citizens May
Call at Nearest Station
for Information

Commissioner of the fire board,
John Brodie, urges those who de-
sire to register Tor duty as auXil-
iary firemen to call at any OF the
city's fire stations.
Mr.. Brodie said Chief Thomas F.
Cavanaugh had left forms for the
registration of these firemen and
advices those interested to call st
the nearest firehouse in order 70
be classified and assigned to an
area.
The new recruits for the auXil-
larry force will then undergo Drills
in classes to be held two evenings
week. They will be taught how
to handle hose, erect ladders and
other duties which firemea Q
called upon to perform.
At present there are less than
100 men who have volunteered for
this service in the auxiliary force
through the Civilian Defense Vol
unteer office.
Those who are accepted for duties
after training will wear an arm
band to distinguish them from
other civilian workers, Chief Cav
anaugh said.

some OF nLs listener, interested
as they were in life as he saw it
in better Gays abroad.
We didn't know Matt Gallivan
Intimately; we had no occasion
for this; we met him now ard
then on the streets Of the East
End, and often got into conversa-
ton with him. That was the ex-
tent of our friendship. But we
liked his manner of talk, his eX-
pressicns, and his viewpoint of
things in general. We supposed
he was still with Old Engine I'M
til the last time we saw him when
he informed us he was then sta
toned with No. company near
Orange street.
We felt badly when we heard Of
his death; we feel the same way
whenever we hear of fireman
passing out. For years we have
had an opinion the fireman was
a forgotten soul. Faithful to his
trust, the Waterbury fireman has
been prepared for any and all
duties TO which he was called, ard
has performed them, apparently
to the satisfaction of the general
public Of the city. But he has not
got very far in his appeal for
just increase in wages; maybe this
will come quicker than he expects;
VINO knows.
Matte Galiivan had not been q.
fireman for any great length OF
time, around Is years or So But
while he was in the service, he was
alert ana active in all alarms he
answered, never hesitated in any
move mace by the company, and
held the good will and friendship
of his associates and the admins

What more can be expected OF

WATERBURY LOSES
HIGH TAX HONOR
Hartford's New Rate of 81
or 81 Mills to Take
Municipal Spotlight

Waterbury apparently will soon
lose the unenviable record it has
held for years, that of having the
highest tax rate of the states larg-
est cities. The 1912 rate for Water
bury, fixed by Mayor Vincent A.
ScuUy and his administration, is
3075 mills, the lowest since the
early 192O's.
Hartford, which had a rate of
29.75, mills last year, is considering
rate of 80 mills for this year, and
such rate has already won in
formal approval of the Common
Council, Even if the rate should be
set at 81 mills, as some in Hartford
favor, 1t would be above Water
bury's.
The tax rate in Hartford is nee
essary, according to Mayor Thomas
J. Spellacy, in order to provide
funds to give wage increases to city
employees and to set up a capital
reserve fund.
In addition to successive tax rate
decreases in recent years, Water
bury is following a long range pro-
gram aimed at eliminating all
bonded debt within the nexe Is
years. This, according to present
aims, will be accomplished despite
