When 36 days are accumulated time off is requested of the proper officials. However, the survey indicates that the department heads are opposed to this system
 The problem of a uniform dress for all members of the department was stressed. Zimmerman claiming that many different types of uni form were observed during his survey. He advises purchase of standard garments for all depart ment members by the city with the individual to refund the government through regular deductions from his pay.
 Automotive equipment should be replaced every 12 to Is months and rotation in it's use is urged.
 The janitorial service, now inde- pendent of that in the City Hall, should be centrally maintained, the report indicates.
 MT. Zimmerman also points out that in 1941 the Police Department radio system was five years old and thought should be given to replace ment. It is obvious, however, that present war conditions enter into this picture.
 It is believed that the complete report will be filed with the Board of Aldermen at it's next regularly scheduled meeting.

Dollar-a-year leases with the federal government are being ne- gotiated in Waterbury under the home conversion plan, it was learn ed yesterday at meeting of various housing offiicals at the War Hous- ing Center, 100 Grand street,
 D. T. Harrington, Jr., fee negoti- ator for this area in the private home conversion plan, revealed that in at least two instances to date voluntary offers of "dollar-a- year. leases had been made by owners of property which will shortly be converted to units for local war workers and their fam flies.
 The Fulton residence on Hillside avenue, which already has been ac- cepted for conversion, is one and well-knoWn North Main street resi- dence is the other. Tn view of the fact that conversion plans for the latter site are not yet completed the owners name has been with held. These owners will lease their properties to the federal gov ernment for the prescribed period of time (7 years, in most instances) at $1 a year and maintain the taxes on the property throughout the period
 Local patriots" was the term ap- piled to them by MT Harrington, who was one of many officials gathered for an extensive discussion of local housing problems and how best to meet them

D. is Expected
To Retain Growth
In Postwar Era

Washington's prospects of retain
ing the present population gain
after the war are good, 1t was
claimed in the recent issue of the
Review, journal of the Society of
Residential Appraisers. In an ar
ticle on will Wartime Population
Shifts Be Permanent" Philip
Hauser, assistant director of the
Bureau of the Census, analyzed the
growth of 1877 representative metro
politan communities during the two
decades preceding the war to deter
mine the likelihood of their MAIN
tanning their gains.
His analysis showed that WASH
ington. although it did not grow
substantially from 1920 to 1880, grew
during the 1930s even under de-
preston handicaps. On this basis
he concludes that its postwar de-
velopment is fairly we'll assured.
"On a regional basis. it is clear
that the metropolitan centers which
have grown most rapidly and which
have the best prospects Of retain
ing their growth are in the South
and West" Mr.. Hauser said. This
is not surprising since both regions
are still in a state of development
The dependence of these predic-
tions upon previously observed
growth assumes that the post war
economic order will in general rep
resent continuation of our ma
tional economy as we have known
it,"
