Waterbury legislation was the sub ject of comment in two Hartford newspapers on Saturday.
 The Court, published in the morn ing, carried an editorial which dis cussed the case of Anthony Stango, formber Waterbury policeman who was dropped off the force when 1t was determined that he was an alien. Legislation has already been passed at Hartford which would al- low the City of Waterbury to re- instate him on the police force.
 The Hartford Times, an afternoon daily, feels that home rule has been violated by the series of Waterbury measures and now awaiting the gov- ernor's signature. The editorial calls on the chief executive to veto the bills passed.
 After discussing several of the Waterbury bills The Times says Many proposals of that sort get before every Legislature. The pro- cedure almost invariably represents an effort to utilize legislation deal ing to obtain personal or partisan advantage which cannot be had at home through the ordinary elec- toral processes. Such procedure does not deserve to succeed. Or dinarily the state at large hears little about these matters, which affect local communities. They thus seldom deserve to pass. When they have been passed they merit the disapproval of the executive. '
 And the Courant in speaking of the Stango bill remarks: This in stance shows clearly the low estate to which municipal home rule has sunk. The bill to allow Waterbury

WORCESTERSHIRE
 PRIVATE BANK
Enjoy Holiday With Coins Until Owner Discovers
 Loss

Having been the victim of sys- tematic robbery which caused his accumulation of coins to dwindle rapidly a resident of Town Plot is not only appreciative of the police's interest in his affairs, but in the attractiveness of the War Saving Bond and Stamp drive. He has $581 50 in nickes, dimes, quarters and half-dollars to invest.
 Over the weekend, Detective Sergeant Charles McWeeney inves- tigated two youngsters who had learned of the whereabouts of the money and at different intervals they just marched right up to it and took out enough of it to treat themselves to candy, movies, etc.
 The Town Plot resident counted the money in the cans yesterday and noticed a small shortage of a few dollars. He said it was his wife's idea to keep the money there, be- cause she didn't believe iii banking silver. However, s1le did approve of his depositing all his dollar bills in the bank. Now everybody is con- vinced that the bank and bonds are the best way to take care of ones money.
 However, said Inspector Stevens, a burglary charge is being considered for these youths, one of which is the old mans son. Both youths are about 13 years old.

to place MT. Stango on its police force recites that such may be done the charter and the ordinance of the city notwithstanding. Why should they stand in the way, if soundly based and fairly drawn? It is carrying state restrictions al- together too far when the qualifica- tions of members of police depar- ment cannot be altered without legislative approval [. Why not put the cities on their own respon- sibility in all matters where the state itself Is not directly con- cerned?"
