WILLIAM J. COX
 MADE NEW PLANS
Travelling Auditor Inspec- tor Named Francis P.
 Hogan Is Appointed

Hartford, Conn, Oct. 14-(UP)- Highway Commissioner William j. Cox announced today that he had made two major reorganization moves ito improve the efficiency of the department.
 First, said Cox, he had appointed Francis P. Hogan, Wethersfield, as a "traveling auditor-inspector to inspect methods of operations and activities of each field office in the highway department"
 Cox sent general memo to de- partment heads pointing out that Hogan "has no intention of acting as an investigator along the lines of a detective, but is solely inter ested in getting better and more uniform results" from each depart ment.
 Secondly, the commissioner said he had transferred control of SUD- plies and stores from the mainten- ance district supervisors to the bu- reau of business administration in Hartford.
 s.TheSe two moves" he said, "are part of a program initiated by me more than year ago when it began to be apparent that defense prepar- ations would curtail the activitie. of the highway department, anC will give long desired opportunity to concentrate our attention on in. creasing the efficiency of our routine operations"

ORDER
 MAY OBTAIN GAS
Certificate Filed by Appli- cant for Supplemental Ale
 IOwance to Be Considered

Only a doctors certificate may enable local car owners to secure supplemental gasoline allowances for trips home for lunch, James E. Mcknight, local gas rationing ad- ministrator, said today. Numerous applicants have included two-round trips from home to the place of em- ployment in their estimate of the mileage covered and those estimates are immediately reduced, the ad- ministrator stated.
 Observers believe the total amount of gasoline consumed here after the new boks take effect October 9 may be 50 per cent less because of the stricter regulations regarding ale lowances. Applications of factory employees are checked by special plant transportation committees and many of them have been thinned out before reaching the rationing office. Industrial workers who have sent applications to the board rather than to the plant committed will receive a thorough checking. il

The regular business meeting of the Washington Park Community Club was held last evening at the Community House at 8:15 o'clock with President John B. Cuddy pre- siding.
 Herbert Smith, of the Y. M. c. A. gave an interesting talk on the Community Chest Drive now being carried on in the city, and told how the Chest functioned and how the money was distributed to the vari- ous organizations and institutions entered in the program.
 Committees working on the Scrap Drive reported favorable results and that everyone has fine Quanti- ties of all kinds of scrap.
 MT. Cuddy reports the following depots for scrap collectorS-and would appreciate it, if people could possibly do so, to bring the scrap to these depots, thereby elminat- ing too many stops for the trucks. Lot on the corner of Lounsbury and South streets; Fairmount and Keefe stveets and the lot across from the St. Francis school; the north end of this ground is also available to people living in that section.
 Tuesday night of next week. there will be committee meeting for the Halloween party, to be held at the Community House, October 31st. All members of the commit tee are asked to be on hand, a. there are lot of details to b' taken care of.

 the area between East Main stree South Main street area and a par
 of Brooklyn. Assisting with tn
 tests were Boy Scouts who acte
 as incident bearers. First aid, fir
 control and incendiary bomb con
 trol were among the incident

The ancient and slightly dis honorable art of chiseling for a meal was given a severe blow last night. The cup of java, coffee to anyone not a member of the affected order, has gone up to 10 cents starting on Monday. So announced Harmon Genlot, di- rector of public relations for the Connecticut Restaurant and Liquor Dealers Board of Trade. The main reason for the rise in price, he stated, was the great rise in labor costs.
 The time when bum could stop you on the street and query, ''How's about a dime for coffee and :. :" has now gone the way of the bowler hat. There is no such thing as asking for 15 cents for a meal, since the average soft hearted man on the street will think twice before handing over

 When mere dime was asked for, man could slyly stick his hand in his pocket and feel around to see whether he had 8 small coin, but to fish for two coins, that is impossible without look ing.
 Of course, the panhandler can- not just change his ways and ask for dime for a cup of coffee without the and. That would be getting too low in the society strata.

Large collection of scrap, includ- ing much copper, on front veranda of 579 Cooke street. Placed there to keep kids from running oil with it. Would like to have it collected pronto ...
 Large scrap pile in Chase park at corner of Sunnyside and Draher Shades of the roaring twenties Two very tidy slot machines appeared on lower Grand street during the height of yesterdays downtown scrap metal collection. They attracted quite bit of atten- tion until hoisted aboard a city truck for deposit with all the rest of the junk.
 An endless stream of discarded washing machines and parts from musical instruments kept a crew Of collectors busy at McCoy's yesterday afternoon. A sign-TOkyO, Here Come-topped the collection.
 Youngsters in Arch street section of Willow street have pile of junk to be proud of It contains almost anything and everything a house hold could disgorge in the way of metal scrap. Someone with an ar tistic touch topped of the pile, which has been placed at the dead end of the street adjacent to the Lewis, estate, with two old dress makers forms.
 JOhn Morrissey of WoOdtick road was the only person to offer his services in the scrap collection yes- terday. The people of this city should feel embarrassed that there 1 are no more patriots there that are willing to do a little hard work for their country. There were, however several truckers who offered their vehicles to aid in removing the metal from the streets.
 Although several more scrap depots have been registered at the Civilian Defense office, there is still a great need for many more in order that tn collection on Saturday may be simplified. Even with great num- Der of depots throughout the city, the collection will be an enormous task. Among the new depots that were registered are: Fuller street playground, given by Fuller street Rangers; lot at 148 Mansfield ave- nue, given by Ernest Cornwall; 106 Ridgefield avenue, by Carl Hoffman Mill and Baldwin streets: 86 Col lins street, by Edward and Maurice Barry; Drahes and Sunnyside ave- nues on Chase parkway; and gar age at 109 Fair1awn avenue.
