Good Evening.
BY THE MAN IN THE TOWER

Editor of Tall Towers Could you spare space m your paper for taxpayer to express views, probably lot of folks thinking along the lines but when not spoken are heard. Residents of Washington Hl without doubt certainly feeling, if they will let themselves do little let down by the treatment accorded to few members of the Community Club who visited our Board of Aldermen meetng-Monday night of this week-regarding the sale of the Mucahy School From the tone of the newspaper reports this vis perhaps of little thin skinned"-it would the visit not cordial it might be- if it were
 little later in the year The Republican side of the Board was a little more friendly than of the others. Now, while people may have an idea we residents of The Hill "alwayS have chip on our shoulder such is not the case-at least mot always
 perhaps are little claniSh-and figures certainly show that at certain times when our support is really needed-we go all the way to do our part" and certainly expect consideration likewise when ask Q favor-at least gets with "molasseS than vinegar. We people from The Hill feel-that citi- zenS who born and raised within the shadows Of Eills" have been outstanding in nearly every walk of Me-and we stick chests out and say - it really is good place to fromwe certainly can't be hated for loyalty such as that There must be way that Mulcahy School could be made use of in such way that everyone will be SaSfiedf 1t is such expense to the school departmentWlth the prorlteS as they today and is almost impossible to get um- Der to do anything wth-why can't of the Veterans make of it. There is movement afoot to have new wv. in fair city-the present YMCA is crowded to take of everything it now has comfortably The SilaS Bronson Library has been reported worked to it's limit We have boys coming back from the service with no facilities to entertain them It would that the powers that becoud put some of the brain-trust here in Waterbury to work and find way to Mulcahy School temporarily at least What if it does need little repairs? Don't taxes take of something once in while? And can't taxpayers have little to say to what kind Of public buildings will be with them 24 hours day-every day in the year? Washington Hill wouldn't be the nice place it is to live in today if we didn't all take part in keeping it and may so far as to say-even improve it when and where we can. A Taxpayer.

That really mighty fine gesture on the part of the Unco Club presenting American flag to the Juve nile Court officials of the Waterbury district and dedi eating appreciation of the devoted services of Probation Officer Kathleen Crowley. From own personal observation don't believe that Miss Crowley needs any public expression of approval for her efforts behalf of youh-she derives keener personal pleasure in being able to lending helping hand She is pioneer in the work in Waterbury and Connecticut and know of finer atristic work than that of trying to set of action for young boys and girls to fol- low useful productive and happy citizenship and all the responsibilities the privilege involves The fact that

to plague many of the operators. When the mines were shut down by a War Production Board order, some machinery was transferred to other types of mines.
 In Alaska. gold dredgers have been able to get surplus equipment, such as bulldozers, from the Army, but the winter will soon close down their work. Dredges in California can work the year round and Need- ham said they should be able to get In operation fairly quickly"
 Owners of a number of the major lode mines, such as the Homestake in South Dakota, spent money to keep their properties in repair dur ing the shutdown, but many others deteriorated This also is hamper ing the industry's return.

 Several Western Congressmen have have indicated they will sponsor legislation to recompense gold mine owners for losses suffered during tht shutdown
 The shutdown order was meant tt divert manpower and equipment te more critical industries. The golo men claim that it failed almost en. tirely in it's purpose.

 INDIAN RESERVES

 The chief bone Of contention, said Arnold, was the r. E. Harris Cannery at Rake, located on a patented site. He said the depart ment order would make Rake a reservation and interpret the word land" to include that uncovered at low tide. This would jeopardize the cannery's use of the adjacent beaches to work on fish traps and nets and also, would affect it's shore installations, said Arnold.

Governor Requests CAB 10 Remove Restriction
 on Certificate

Alaska's Governor, Ernest Gruen- ing, has thrown his influence be- hind Pan American World Airways' application to the CAB for removal of restrictions prohibiting PAA from carrying passengers between Juneau and Ketchikan.
 Ccv Gruening requested that letter he had written on July IS to the Chairman of the Civil Aeronau- tics Board, L. Welch Pogue, be made part of the record of the CAB proceeding on the application which was concluded here yesterday.
 In his letter to Mir. Pogue, Gov. Gruening stated: I desire to pro- test against the recent CAB ruling that Pan American Airways may not carry passengers between Juneau and Ketchikan, and vice-versa."
 The Governor further declared: Tn my judgment, the field and function of the local airways is not to carry passengers between the major cities of Juneau and Ketchikan except if and when there is no other service, and incidental to the local service which these airWays now rem der The planes, while entirely adequate for local service, are small and not comfortable. The field of Alaska Coastal is and should be to serve, from Juneau, all the lesser places The same is true of Ellis Airways' operations out of Ketchi- kan . Tourist development is one Of their great potentials.
 Now, know the argument will be raised and no doubt it has been that the little, local fellow must be protected against the big corpora tion. I sympathize with that view up to point :. I want to do every thing can to help local business
 But the public interest should be paramount. In my opinion, the recent CAB ruling is blow at the public interest
 Tn view of the foregoing, I re- srsctfully request and would great iy appreciate reconsideration of this matter by the Civil Aeronautics Board.
 CAB Chairman Pogue's reply to tke Governor, dated August l (this reply was also introduced at the CAB hearing here this week), con- cluded, in part:
