 Waterbury. Conn.
 August g, 1945.
 To the Editor of the Democrat:
 Dear Sir:
 Please publish the following re- port in your paper:
 To the citizens of the City of Waterbury: We are all now in- terested in the welfare of our servicemen and women, A short time ago the Mayor held meet ing relative to establishing a uv- ing memorial to them. The meet ings were held in the Aldermanic Chambers in the City Hall in the afternoon. Admittanc- was by in- vitation, and the passes were col- lected at the door. The Mayor and the Cupertendant of Parks took turns in presiding. Certain persons were called upon to speak. The matter touched upon by the speakers was the nature of the structure proposed, with few suggestions as 70 tn location. Sev- eral letters by prominent citizens were later published in our pa pers; their substance being that the war was not over yet, it was no time to collect funds, and to wait for the veterans to return and have then decide. The Mayor held no further meetings.
 Some of us felt that the right location was of vital importance, and that the best site available should now be obtained, We held :. meeting in the City Hall and ap- pointed committee to investigate and report.
 The committee reported that the plan in other cities was to have community center where the veterans home would be sur- rounded by buildings of other or ganizations that would move out of the business district into the residential section, where all could enjoy everything in common. The ideal site, made so by nature, the committee found was Pine Hill.
 Last April we prepared a bill for the legislature to create 8 memorial commission to have con- trol over the Pine Hill, naming the highest officers of different organ izations as members, as they would have an interest outside politics.
 I was sent to interview the mayor and later presented the bill to his secretary, MT. Fitzmaurice. In about wo weeks, when went into the office, MT. Fitzmaurice told me the mayor was busy : two weeks later he was still busy. I then asked him to have the mayor invite the members of the proposed commission to go up and take view of the site recon mended: but nothing was done about 1t.
 A few days ago, at our last meeting in the City Hall, it was decided to make the facts public 50 that some of you might inf1u- ence the powers that be to take action, so that our returning vet erans will not have to suffer be- cause some politicians are too busy on something else.

Accidents Reduced By Enforcement
 Springfield Police
 Point 10 Success of
 Efforts

Sharp reduction of traffic acci- dents in Springfield, Mass, during four months of strict speed en- forcement is styled by william M. Greene, Director of the Connecti- cut Highway Safety Commission, as outstanding proof of the efficacy of aggressive enforcement when courts support an energetic accident pre- vention program.
 Police Chief Raymond P. Galla- gher of Springfield has furnished the Highway Safety Commission a report showing decrease of 56 per cent in all types of traffic accidents since he instituted strict speed en- forcement in April and sharp drop of 34 per cent in pedestrians hit by automobiles. Not fatal traffic acci- dent has been caused in Springfield since March 18th, the drive starting April 1st.
 During April, May, June and July of 1914 Springfield recorded 195 traffic accidents; this year 86 cases. The difference of 109 represents 56 per cent decrease. Seventy-six pe- destrians were hit by automobiles during the same four months, 1944; this year 50 were felled. Property damage cases fell from 101 to 75 for the same periods.
 Chief Gallagher assures the High way Safety Commission that signs reading Not over 25 miles an Hour" are being posted lberally around Springfield and will continue to be enforced. He states there is no such practice in Springfield as speed traps" and that no arrest is made unless the operator exceeds the posted speed limit.
