 This view does not, however, take into account the votes of senators absent yesterday. Hence 1t appears that not only will the tone of the presidents veto message determine the final outcome of the vote but also the attendance on the senate the day it acts on the matter.

It's unfortunate that the city's bonded debt is at sudtl 8 peak now when there would be many reasons for issuing bonds. Most of the postwar projects that the Mona gan administration has in the blue print stage are of long-term dura- tion. They will probably last as long as any bond issue used to de- fray their construction Too often municipalities bond themselves for improvements or for other purposes not readily adaptable to bond issues. Probably they should have been fi- naneed out of current taxation or Short-term notes utilized. Seldom do they last long enough to warrant the 15, 20 or 9 year maturities, plus interest, which may double the ac- tual amount of the original bond isSl1e. Waterbury's bonded debt is showing substantial reductions every year. but it's still sizeable and will remain SO until 1857 when the water bonds, Series of 1941, will have been paid of.

Politics
 -M- Passing

It becomes more and more evident Ehat Waterbury's postwar plans are going to be determined by the citys ability to finance its way through them. As yet nothing is known de- kinitely about what the state and federal governments will do to- wards aiding municipalities in this work. It's taken for granted there will be federal aid and perhaps state, too. But how much and in what proportion to local funds still has to be determined. Waterbury has a fair-sized postwar fund on hand now. Actually there is slightly over $4O0,000 in this fund. It prob ably will go higher after the first of the year when the 1914 surplus has been determined and a transfer made to the capital and non-recur- ring expenditure fund, but even then will be far from the total need ed to finance the many projects city officials already have in the de- finite plan stage. It wouldn't be sur prising, in such a situation. to find the city applying to the 1945 Legis- lature for a whooping big bond is- sue to cover postwar projects in general.
 The city's position, financially,
 Is considerably improved over
 what it was in 1941 when the late Vincent Scully and Thomas Con- lon went to the General Assembly
 to get permission for the $2,OOO,-
 900 water bond issue. And even
 then with good promise for the
 city the legislators penalized Wa terbury by making this issue part of the general obligation subject to statutory liMitation. In other words whatever amount of bonds the city sold for water purposes were to be used in computing the
 degree the city was over or under its legal bonding limit. Even with
 that penalty the city has now
 come well within the legal debt !! limit. So, next spring there prob ably will be reference to the 1S41 legislative action; an effort made
 to revoke the penalty clause; and . request for increased bond au- l thOrity.

Members of the Pension Retire 1. nnent Commission will probably
 lend g sympathetic ear next week
 to most of the requests from city
 employees for consideration. But
 when it comes down to enacting a measure that will be presented
 to the general assembly probably
 ono will be used that isn't going to
 cause the city fathers to "up" the
 tax rate two or three mills. Com
 mission members are much dis
 couraged over the probable costs
 of any pension plan the city
 adopts. Even if the present char
 ter amendments on pensions
 weren't changed at all, they esti-
 mate that 1t will be necessary for
 the city to put them on an ac-
 tuarial basis and that's where the
 costs come in. Hundreds of city employees have been piling up pen
 sion credits for ten. fifteen, twenty
 and thirty or more years. The
 city should have reserves to meet
 those, but all it has done down
 through the years has been to
 meet actual pension payments.
 Ultimately that system cOllapses
 of it's own weight. It's getting z pretty heavy right now.

Civil Service LEAGUE
Warns Of Postwar
Patronage Demands

The demand for patronage and
"the overzeal of politicians vying
for the soldier vote" are threats to
the merit system in Federal and To-
cal governments, the National Civil
Service Reform League said in it's
annual report today.
The report was adopted last night
at the annual meeting of the league
in New York and made public by the
president, Nicholas Kelley.
Declaring that the postwar tram
sition to peace economy will con-
stitute challenge to the merit sys-
tenn to provide the administrative
talent necessary for government, the
report said:
Two threats to the merit sys-
tenn which will seriously undermine
efficient administration of and
greatly increase the cost of operat-
ing our public agencies already are
in evidence. One is the clamor for
political patronage, now relatively
less active, but ready to burst out
again when opportunities for in
dustrial employment decline after
the war. The other is the overzeal
of politicians vying for the soldier
vote. Already they are taking ad-
vantage of popular feelings to pass
laws turning over virtually all Gov
ernment places to war veterans
without considering the demoraliz-
ing effect that these hastily con-
ceived, sweeping proposals may have
on the efficient management of our
governmental services"
The league already is on record
with criticism of the Starnes bill,
passed by the House, to strengthen
veterans preference in the Govern
ment service.
The league praised the House
Civil Service Committee for uncov-
ering inefficient personnel prac-
tices in its lengthy investigation,
and said that the fact "our per-
sonnel system is in general on a
sounder basis now than during the
First World War is in part due to
the foresight and energy of the
Civil Service Commission.

The ultimate test of what has some SEM

but the establishment of peace and particular

of their need for spiritual guidance and help

The Importance of Rome

Now that Rome has been taken and the
Germans are being holly pursued to the north,
it is appropriate to consider the value Of the
victory in relationship to the greater victory
still to be won in Europe.
We strongly incline to the belief that it the
fall of the Eternal City had no strategic value
at all, its capture would be worth while for
the effect it must have on German morale.
The news cannot be kept from the German
people, and after what Berliners and residents
Of other cities blasted, by Allied bombings
have gone through since the air blitz started
they cannot longer doubt what lies ahead for
the Reich capital and for Hitler and all his
evil forces.
But the fan of Rome does have strategic
value too. Rome is the great industrial, COM
munications, transportation and political cen.
ter of Italy. Rome has been controlled, its
production and facilities absorbed, by the Ger.
mans for long months. This hold on Rome
is now broken. It's assets are in full posses.
sion Of the Allied forces, a great strategic
advantage in itself.
i Furthermore, the fall of Rome prepares tn
way for clearing the Adriatic of all German
