Discussion of an appraisal of
Waterbury's school properties at
recent meetings of the Boards of
Education and Finance has brought
to light the fact that their total
valuation, according to the 1912 re-
port of School Board, is $6,651 300.
Insurance carried on these proper
ties amounts to $4,414,500, accord
ing to the same table.
The matter was first discussed at
the last Board of Education meet
inb when it was proposed that an
item of $500 be set up in the de-
partment budget to be known as
Expenses in Connection with an
Appraisal of School Buildings and
Equipment. When brought before
the Board of Finance Mayor John
S. Monagan named committee of
CONS. Edward P Egan, William ".
Gerard, and Controller Cornelius
F. Maloney to submit a report at the
next meeting on the proposal.
During the discussion by the Fin
ance Board members suggested that
thought be given to requesting the
companies holding insurance on the
school properties to make such an
appraisal as required service. 1t
was pointed out, however, that the
number of insuring companies might
prove confusing in obtaining such
a survey.
There was general belief,
though, that the appraisal might be
secured as a service for insurance

London, June % - Long range
planning, which started three full
years before Britain entered the
war, plus rigid control of produce
ton. distribution and consumption
OF basic foods, has enabled Britain
to avoid most of the basic food
problems now plagueing American
housewives.
President Rooseyelt's advisors
now are reported studying the
British system in connection with
the anti-inflation program.
Despite its troubles, the Ameri-
can family today still eats far
better-more of larger variety
of foods-than the average Briton
has tasted for nearly four years.
Meats are scarce here, shell
eggs rarities, citrus fruits non ex-

Ministry of Food decided the
fairest way to distribute this

turning the bulk of them into pre-

Currently visible on London

varieties of fresh meats and veg
