FORMER SCHOOLS
TOBE CONVERTED
American Legion Home
Also Linked With Home
Conversion Program

Application may be made to the
board of education at its meeting
next week for permission to convert
two of the city's unused schoolhouses
to living quarters, The Democrat
was advised today. 1t is understood
that the D. T. harrington real estate
agency, which is the fee negotiator
for the private home conversion pro-
gram in Waterbury, is ready to
make such application.
The schools, which would be con-
verified under the governments plan
of leasing for period of seven
years, are the Gaffney school on
the Lakewood road and the Hamil-
ton avenue school. Both have been
unused for several years. Only re-
Gently the school board discussed
the possibility Of tearing down the
buildings but took no action along
this line.
At the same time it was learned
today that the American Legion
home on Holmes avenue may also be
converted into small living quarters
as application for the same has also
been made to D. T. harrington, Inc
Recently the Office of the fee ne
gotiator announced that the old
Reidville school on East Main street
now privately owned, was to be con-
verted, as well as the palatial resi-
dence of w. S. Fulton on Hillside
avenue.
Federal housing officials recently
gave their approval to the first plans
for conversion of local houses. 1t
is believed that the program will be
considerably accelerated now that
work on conversions has actually
beam authorized.

This is a gentlemans war in

A total of almost 10000 prisoners

Tanks, airplanes and big guns in

POSTAL OFFICIALS
STUDYING SYSTEM
ZOning Plan to Become Ef=
feCtive in Waterbury Re-
quires New Setup

A drain on the personnel at the
local post Office by the Army, Navy
and Marine services has effected a
new system OF addressing mail
which will completely simplify the
present system of zoning. Over 178
cities throughout the country will be
obliged to incorporate new plan of
mail distribution and delivery. Since
the present system requires at least
three years of practical experience
and since 1t is necessary that postal
clerks memorize the delivery area of
each city carrier so as to know ex-
actly what part of each street falls
within the territory of each branch
Office, Postmaster Charles A. Babin
has appointed q committee, headed
by clerk foreman Edgar DWyer to re-
wise the present setup to conform to
the new ruling. Upon completion
of a satisfactory plan, the public
will be informed Immediately.
The change simply adds numer-
al after the name of the city, indi-
eating the postal delivery district in
which the patron resides, such as
Waterbury 8, Connecticut. the
other part of the address such as
street and number being unchanged.
There are approximately 1000
streets in the city which must be
sectioned and zoned, Mr.. DWyer an
nounced. Complications in devising
satisfactory plan have arisen out
Of the fact that one street may have
as many as seven carriers, such as
East Main ST.. zoning in this case
therefore, must De according to car
rier district, rather than geographic
cal.
Since some time will be required
to have the system in functioning
order, postal patrons of Waterbury
should await notification from the
post Office of the number assigned
to their delivery district. When this
notification Is received, each patron
Is asked in the interest of better
mail service, to furnish his CORE
Spondents his complete address. in
GLIDING the number assigned his de-
livery district. In the event that the
resident of one street moves to a
different section of the city, his zone
number will be that of his new dis
tr1ct, Mr.. Dryer declared.
Although the plan has been
adopted in this city as a war time
measure, Postmaster Babin express
ed the belief that 1t will continue as
postwar system. The post Office
has been deluged with phone calls
from many sections Of the city in
curing whether the plan went into
effect Immediately, and whether pa
irons of the post Office will be in
formed as soon as 1t is put into use
