namely, the matter of granting equalization.
 'The report states that granting equalization for men and women teachers would impose burden upon the tax rate of the city. It has been shown and proved repeatedly that granting equal ization for the 90 women teach CTS involved would cost in the neighborhood of $27,0O0. When this is divided by IS million dollars, the grand list for 1914. anyone can understand that the tax rate is not affected.
 ''The committee on teachers in its report made reference to the city pension of $500. This has absolutely nothing to do with the matter of equalization, since all teachers receive the city pen- sion.
 "The report referred to decrease in enrolment. Again this is a matter which has nothing to do with equalization. There has also been a decrease in the number of teachers.
 Therefore, in spite of pro- nounced public opinion support ing the women teachers in their request for equal pay for equal work, the report does nothing to justify the existence of the pres ent salary differential of $500. ] Likewise the report does noth- ing to remove it. Discrimination against women teachers still exists"

A housing commission to deal with present temporary arrangements and to facilitate dealing with federal authorities for present and postwar needs will be re-established shortly on the recommendation of Mayor John s. Monagan. A letter cutting the possible benefits to result from such @ commission was formally presented to the board of aldermen at its meeting last evening. The communication was referred to g committee consisting of James M. Lynch, Martin Sullivan and James Abercrombie, who will confer with the mayor for 8 more comprehen- sive outline of the proposed program.
 The former commission was dis solved when objections were raised to sponsoring a building project on land donated by the Chase family and located on Chase avenue.
 The board last evening authorized the mayor to accept deed from the Chase Brass & Copper company for several parcels of land north of

Mayor Requests Action to Meet Present. Future Needs; Aldermen Vote $24,OOO Transfer After Lively Debate

Faber avenue and west of Cook street, along both sides of a formea c. R. & L. company right of way from North Main street to Water vile.
 Favorable action was taken by the board on committee recommendatiot on changing property owned by Ruther Heebner at 145 Bunker HI avenue from A to B residential zone
 Notwithstanding opposition from Republican members the board voted a transfer of $24,000 from the salary item of the engineering department to an item of extraordinary ex. pense". There is presently an ap- propriation of $1,000 in the fund.
 The purpose of the transfer is tc permit the city to engage the service of Malcolm Pirnie, expert eng1neer- ing consultant to draft plans for tlls proposed sewage disposal plant which is one of the city's postwar construction plans. However, the city has been instructed by the state awter commission to make plans foK the project at once.
 A debate followed on whether or not plans prepared now would be outmoded by long war, whether il would be legal to engage MT. Pirnie without calling for competitive bids or whether the matter should be tabled to permit the mayor and 2 special committee to confer with the state water commission. On a vote along party lines the report of Al. derman Richard Bensen to table the matter was lost. A motion to approve the transfer was then carried.

Compromise Agreement at Earliest Possible Date
 Recommended

At a two-day conference of state and national officers, held recently at the national headquarters in Kansas City, the Veterans of For eign Wars of the United States called upon the federal government and the several states to give the men serving in the Armed Forces the opportunity to vote in the next general election.
 Leaders of the V. F. w. refused to become involved in what Nation al Legislative Representative Omar B. Ketchum, Washington, D. C., de- Scribed as a political controversy between various elements which have their own axes to grind in an- ticipation of the coming election"
 In the current debate between federal authorities and state lead CTS, dealing with the policies which should govern the distribution of ballots, the V. F. w. conference urged that compromise agreement be reached at the earliest possible date.
 IT. discussing the vote issue, Ma tional Legislative Representative Ketchum declared that "our organ ization insists that every effort should be made to give every eligible voter in uniform a voice In choosing those who are elected to serve the public in municipal, state and fed. eral elections"
 Ketchum observed that this "can and must be accomplished without sacrificing the constitutional rights of the states and the individual American citizens who are serving in the Armed Forces"

 Governor Raymond E. Baldwin will serve as honorary chairman of the month long drive, as he has in past seasons. The seals, which have become a popular annual tra- dition, will be mailed to citizens throughout the state early in March.
 The funds derived from this cam paign provide the principal support of the Society, whose chief pur- pose is to promote wide under standing of the problems of the handicapped, and to see that crip- pied children and adults through out the state receive adequate med ical care, education and rehabilita- tion
 The Connecticut Society for Grip pied Children, a part of the Ma tional Organization, serves the crip- pied in many ways. It provides disqualification, vocational counsel ing, transportation of patients tc clinics and schools and home tu- toring for the "home-bound' crip- pie; it purchases braces and crutch- es and sends children to summer camp.
 The Society also serves as spokesman for the handicapped in obtaining legislation enabling the state to assume its share in the responsibility for the crippled. The organization does not duplicate services offered by tax-supported state agencies, but seeks to fill in the gaps, providing service where state agencies cannot because of technicalities and to publicize their work in spreading information needed by crSoples as widely as pos Sible

women teachers. He stated that such move would not involve any ad- ditional expenditure to- the city, ex- cept in the case of pensions, and that after the war, when the be- nuses are dropped, the increase could continue from the regular pay ap- propriation.
 He stated, ''This would be putting the principle into effect without ex- pense to the city and it would at least be a movement in the right direction. Commissioner Edward Bergin inquired whether or not the teachers might not demand a cost of-living bonus after such a ster were taken, and it was pointed out a waiver of rights to such a bonus could be obtained.
 When the equalization proposal failed Commissioner Parkinson sug- gested that the rules and teachers committees of the 3oard conduct 6 survey of the general pay schedule and his motion was approved by the board The commissioned point ed out that some cities give spe- cial consideration to teachers who study for advanced degrees and asked that the matter be studied here. No definite date for report was made.
 Recommendation
 The board recommendation, made by committee composed of Mrs Anna Hadden, chairman, Harry Post and Thomas Driscoll was as follows:
 After thorough study of the men and women teachers the Con- mittee on Teachers feels that any increase in pay at the present time would impose burden upon the matter of equalization of pay for tax rate of the city, especially in view of the increase in appropria- tions contained in the city budget this year.
 Furthermore, our investigation reveals that our teachers are very well paid under the present salary schedule and in addition they are, of course, receiving the current $500 cost-of- living salary adjust ment.
 Another important point bear ing upon the financial security of Waterbury teachers is the city pension law which grants to teach CTS an annual pension of $500 up- on retirement after twenty-five years of local service. This city pension is in addition to the pen sion received by members of the State Teachers Retirement Sys- tenn.
 "A fact of considerable interest disclosed in our study is the sharp decline in high school enrolment in the past fey years. A compari- son of high school figures of Octo- Der, 1889 and October, 1943 shows a decrease of 1162 students. This diminishing number naturally re- suits in a much lighter teaching burden with no decrease in pay.
 Therefore, after 8 fair and just consideration and discussion of the question it is the final recommen- dation of the Committee on Teachers that no change be made in the present salary schedule"
 A statement was issued in reply by the women teachers committee last night as follows:
 "The report brought in by the committee on teachers is both irrelevant and pointless in re- gard to the question at issue
The Waterbury Democrat., 1944-02-15

Although no definite plans have been announced as yet it has been reliably reported that movement will start soon to obtain 8 popular referendum on the issue at the next election, 50 that taxpayers could express their own opinion and settle the issue by themselves.
 It has been pointed out that en- dorsement of the equalization plan is rapidly mounting, and that only one group, composed of men teach CTS has offered opposition to the plan.
 At last nights meeting, after the proposal was turned down, two let ters supporting equalization were read, one from the Beth-El Sister hood and the other from group of local ministers. The clergymen signing the letter were: Rev. John J. Snavely, Rev. Alan M. Fairbank, Rev. Ivey J. Snuff, Rev. Samuel A. Budde, Rev. Francis O. Ayres, Rev. B. Kenneth Anthony, Rev. John Bersantes, Rev. Evan Bergwall, Rev Sailsman w. Weller, Rev. T. L. Sin- clair, Rev. M. Webb Wright, and Rev. John c. Walker. Scores of or ganizations had previously register ed support of the proposal.
 With the large organizational backing proponents of the plan will not give up their fight despite last nights stalemating, it was reported, and organizational work for the suggested referendum is expected to get underway shortly.
 The women teachers committee was present at last nights meeting and listened to the reading of the recommendation against changes in the pay schedule. No comment was requested from the delegation and none was made. The teachers pres- ent were: the Misses Fennessy Canty and Natan Altieri of Wilby, Jane Given and Kathryn Hayes of Crosby, Florence Battle and Helen Hogan of Leavenworth and Mae McKenna of the physical education department.
 When the recommendation of the board teachers committee that no changes in pay be made, was read Commissioner Joseph DeLuca con- menSed: T am very glad to hear that the report at least does not say that the board is in favor of equal- ization but will not do anything. At least we are not hypocritical again" He referred to sentiment expressed by the board last fall in favor of equalization but against any action for it.
 Objection was voiced by Commis- sioner Harold Parkinson to state ment made in the recommendation that the student enrolment has declined and the teaching burden is lighter. He pointed out that there also has been decrease in teach CTS in recent years.
 Mayor John s. Monagan, chair man ex-off1cio, stated that the preS- ent rates are as fair as any in the state and said budgetory consider ation prevent any action for equal ization in 1944.
 Commissioner Dorothy A. c. Budde inquired why the situation would be different after the war, as suggested by several of the com missioners previously. She stated the finances appeared much better now than they ever would after the war.
 Commissioner De Luca pointed out an alternative proposal to apply the present $500 cost-of- living bonus toward an equalization increase for
