More Action Expected On War Bond Proposal
Finance Board of ThomastOn May Meet Tonight; Spe-
 cial Town Meeting Only; Legal Course Says Ryan

officially voted against investing this money in War Bonds or Gov ernment is being speculated on.
 As matters now stand the Board of Finance is powerless to take any such action because the annual town meeting voted against 1es- lution which said That THIS money be invested in Government bonds was also defeated. Thus, un- knowingly the meeting has tied the hands of the Finance Board or any other official agency In the town. The town meeting which SupercedeS the authority of the Finance Board has gone on record that this money cannot be invested in War bonds or in Government bonds.
 Should the Finance Board decide to take it upon itself to take action by investing the money in War Bonds they will be working against the very democracy that we are fighting to preserve. People will asS What is the need of town meetings if what they do goes for naught? There will be people who will Sa! that such action on the part of oul Finance Board would be Dictatorial something which our country il now at war to defeat
 However, at the special towr meeting, and only through spe cial town meeting, can tue peopl, of Thomaston remove the s1nea which is now against the name O tie town.
 1 Only through special towl meeting can the Finance Soard b. empowered to invest the money il War bonds or Government bonds.
 That is one of the principal req sens why the special town meeting is being held, so that Taomastoi can legally and acting ir the true Ar. erican spirit Of Dem ,cIacy anc constitutional action, place the towr Of T,nomaston one hundr I'd per cen beh,nd the war efforts of our Gov ernment"

Chairman

the alccess of the drive. Raymond Tanning, director of the drive, asked that the scrap contributions be placed in the front yards and on the sidewalks on Friday afternoon and evening if it is impossible to place 1t there early Saturday morn ing. When the scrap is put out late, 1t means that the trucks may miss 1t on their first round, and will be forced to take time to cover the territory second time, thus delay ing the collection.
 Consolidate Collections
 Another great aid to 8 speedy collection will be accomplished if the householders pile the scrap from several homes in one place, instead of keeping the scrap of each resi- dence separate. This will mean that the truckers will have fewer stops and will allow them to pick up a greater amount of scrap metal in 8 shorter time. Those who can take their scrap to an official depot will also aid in speeding up removal.
 At least 100 trucks are needed to pick up all the metal that will be placed on the streets. Many local companies have already offered their trucking facilities, but more are needed.

Bureaucracy
u. S. Problem

CHlCAGo-~Tne two most con-
spicueus laEgsrds IN th< war effort
are the state ard heal bureau
cracies and until they can - en-
listed 10 contribute At least some
thing toward winning the war no
one can truthfuIiy say the country

Mullenix. president Mortrags
Bankers Association of America.
said today IN a communication to
its members.
when the average citizen con-
slders bureaucracy. he thinks IN
terms Of Washington. He usually
ignores the tight little bureau
cracies existing In municipal gov
ernments AL over the land. Ad-
mittedly. the federal bureaucracy
hasn't sacrificed much but neither
have its state and local counter
parts. With a handful Of excep-
tons. they are either spending ss
much or more Taxpayers money
than they did last year. Appar-
entity the trend goes right down
the line to the smaller towns and
villages.
One OF the toughest domestic
jobs American citizens have ever
faced will be breaking these bu-
reaucracies. The task looks al
most insurmountahle but the war
and the postwar Deriods win fur
nish the best opportunities they
have had In Is years TO do some
thing about them.
The magnitude Of the problem
can be appreciated from the fact
that at least 90 per cent OF the
ioo. 900 taxing bodies In the coun- !,
try probably could be eliminated
without being noticed by the aver |
age citizen. There has been prac-
tically no reduction In a decade
except In school districts where
the decrease has been less than
seven per cent In county govern
ments. where probably the great
est field for eliminating useless
taxing units lies. there was but a
single elimination In ten years.
State and local government
is said to be up 100
per cent since the first world war
but there are only 10 per cent
more men working now In war
than there were in the
first war.
Cutting down bureaucracy win
also make possible much needed
reform in local and state govern
ments. Certainly something must
be done about assessment proce-
dure so that the taxable value OF
has sensible and realis-
tic relation to its productivity.
authorities must also
abandon their policy of placing
tax delinquent laid back on the
tax rolls II they wish to avoid fur
