 The creation of the Office of Tax Commissioner is also far reaching measure and will prove of inestimable value to the Ter ritory. The functions of this Department are as follows Col lection of taxes, license fees, ex- cises, imports, dues and all other revenue due the Territory. The Commissioner has the authority to divide the Territory into col lection districts and define the boundaries of each. The Com missioner, the Attorney General, their assistants, agents and en- ployees are authorized to examine books, papers and records of in- dividuals and firms. The man likely to receive this appointment is O. s. Sullivan, former Deputy Collector of Internal Revenue for Alaska.
 The Territory Housing Author ity is also far reaching in it's implications. It is to be ad- ministered by a Board of 5 mem bers with the Governor as Chair man, and the Reverend Paul J. O'Connor, S.J., of Kotzebue, as the Second Division member. Under this Act the Federal Gov ernment will furnish the funds for the construction of homes wherever the Board shall indicate, after applications are received and surveys made to determine necessity. These houses will be constructed in groups to fit the needs of various communities throughout the Territory. A

LoeaI Vandalism

Vandalism is a pretty tough term to apply to the acts of depravation that have been reported in and around Waterbury of recent days. There were two such reports this week-one from the federal housing projects at Long Hill and the Porter Estate, the other from the head of the city's Park Department. In the one instance property was damaged and smashed; in the other valuable shrub bery was dug up and carted away. Maybe you don't think that such actions should be termed vandalism, but after all, what's the definition of the term?
 The Vandals were fierce tribe from the regions of the Baltic Sea who displayed barbaric traits in battle as well as ten dency to destroy all that was held sacred by the tribes who opposed them or dwelt in the path of their raids. So with time a vandal was known as anyone hostile to or destructive of art or literature. Actu- ally, the Vandals, like so many of those warlike nations which ran riot through Europe initiated the policy of scorched earth Little was left in their wake, whether it was art treasure or just home and hearth.
 So today when we apply the term van- dalism to some depravation, it's usually because we are disturbed over the actions and regard them as those of individuals who are almost outside of society. It's harsh term but maybe it fits the culprit who would destroy idle property or steal from our public parks. In any event the crime is one that merits punishment, whether it be by the law or chastisement at the hands of parents. Anyone who can enjoy seeing his property enhanced by stolen shrubbery has little or no pride.

Relief, of course, could be in several directions. The city has properties like the Begnal and Mulcahy schools which might be utilized by various departments. But all such moves decentralize the civic government rather than concentrate it. What local officials would like to do is to remain at the same old spot with perhaps a few alterations here and there. A roof might be raised or sunken garden con- verted into a subterranean fire-proof vault. Or new library might be built and the old building utilized for depart ments now badly in need of space. The possibilities will certainly be seized when war conditions permit action.

Time was when the palatial City Hall on Grand Street was termed the best in all New England. Its outward appearance and it's spick-and-span interior made it seem like the answer to governmental officials prayer But no more! City off, cials in Waterbury will tell you that the business of dealing in $6,00O,000 corpor- ation no longer can be handled conven- iently or efficiently in the quarters that can be allotted to the several depart ments. After considerable pushing around the Welfare Department finally was moved intact to the old Welton Street School. When independent auditors work on the city books they have to take over the aldermanic chambers.

EQUAL RIGHTS
(Colliers' Weekly


 The following is quoted from the recent statement on the essentials of good peace, by the administra- tive board of National Catholic Welfare Conference, voice of the Roman Catholic hierarchy in the United States:
 Tn the Providence of God, there are among us millions of fellow diti- zens of the Negro race.
 We owe to these fellow citizens, who have contributed so largely to the development of our country, and for whose welfare history im- poses on Us special obligation of justice. to see that they have in fact the rights which are given to them in our Constitution.
 This means not only political equality but also fair economic and educational opportunities, just share in public welfare projects good housing without exploitation and a full chance for the social ad- vanvancement of their race.
 When given their rights in fact i as well as in law, they will prize with us our national heritage and not lend ear to agitators whose real objective is not to improve but to destroy our way of living" That seems to us to state the en- tire Negro question as 1t faces Amer jeans today and, to state it in the | feWeSt possible words

Selected Poem
PALE CoRYDALIs
crred 1ape in The Christian Science Monitor'

(Fred Iape in The Christian Science Monitor) r know a woman who brought the forest into her yard,
 a farm woman mother of children, whose hands were rough from work She made much out Of little,
 out of a lonely farmhouse the laughter of voices, and bluebirds nesting in boxes over the doorway. and chickadees flingng nuts from the window shelf Along her dooryard walks the wood flowers grew, rare and common side by side, yellow lady slipper and hepatica, bellworth and violet, and over them the trees of her own planting.
 It was there [ first saw pale corydalis hanging its leaves like broken green water spray over the paths, and its small flowers rising like drops of water the sun has jeweed. This was like the flower of her mind that spread its gladness about her. How lovely in memory now see it growing in the days when fingered along those paths and heard the bluebrds warbling above me.

Local residents still need lot of scold- ing about outdoor fires. There have been too many of them this spring And in the majority of instances the fire engines wouldn't have had to be summoned if It weren't for bit of carelessness on the part of the person responsible for the blaze. No outdoor fire, however small, can be trusted to behave as you want It.
 All sorts of precautions should be taken to guard against the spread of such fires.

Waterbury apparently is approaching VIE Day calmly. There doesn't appear to be any preparations for wild or unseemly celebration. This community like so many others, has too many gold stars m windows to want to indulge in any mob scenes when the news of cessation or activities in Europe is flashed. Prayers of thanksgiving are more in order.

Matter Was Thoroughly
Discussed During Ses-
sion Conducted Last
Night

~ q meeting Of the City
Council last night, Council
man Earl n. Adams made a
motion, seconded by Coun-
Gilman Freeman, that no ac-
tson be taken ON applica-
tons for pensions except
those that have been receiv-
ed from officials and employ
60 who were in the city's en-
pioy when the recent new
charter was adopted.
The Council entered into
q thorough and lengthy dis
eussion of the issue, but it
was finally decided to place
the matter in the hands of a
special committee, composed
0f Adams, Sweeting and
Freeman, for investigation,
and TO report its findings at
the next meeting of the Coun-
ell.
Mr.. Adams stated that in
making the motion on the
subject, il was his intention
mainly to protect the offic-
ials and employees who are
now drawing pensions, mas
much as these pensions were
granted to those who were
IN the eity's employ at the
time they retired, and were
placed on the pension roll.
tie also said that if the city
continued to grant pensions
to all who apply, that the
city's finances would be de-
pleted to such an extent
whereby funds would be
lacking for the payment of
pensions to those who are
already on the roll, and
would also interfere with the
payment of active salaries
and other operating expenses
of the city.
ID was brought out at the meet
ing that the general impression
among citizens and taxpayers
was that the present administra-
ton was responsible for the pay
mcnt of pensions, and were nat
urally being criticized, when the
fact Of the matter is that the pen
sion laws were created by special
acts Of the legislature, with coun-
ciincn and other officials not be-
ing responsible TO any extent for
the conditions that have been
brought about through granting
pensions II was shown that the

been informed that at least one
city in the state was collecting
these charges, while he believed
that many other cities were do
ing practically the same thing.
These bills covering the serv-
ice are to be forwarded to the
heads of the Army and Navy De-
partments in Washington re-

will be sent TO Senators Charles
o. Andrews and Claude Pepper,
and also Representative Pat Can
non, requesting them to get be-

that these government agencies
be required to contribute to the

During the discussion of
pensions at the City Council
meeting last night, it was
shown that the city now has
thirty-four retired officials
and employees drawing PEN
sions, which. requires an adj
ditional expenditure of APP
proximately $1,000 a month.
AS a result of this, the
Council decided that some
thing would have to be done
to stop the drain on the city
finances, which have already
started to dwindle through
the payment of pensions,
which are required through
legislative action which was
enacted before the present
administration took office.
AS Councilman Adams
said, in speaking of pensions,
it is no more than fair that
the public should be ap-
prised of the fact that the
present administration is not
responsible for this condi-
ton, although the general
belief does exist among resi-
dents and taxpayers that the
present officials are the ones
that have brought about, the
condition that is so widely
talked about.
Hector Castro, member of the
Key West Fire Department, en-
ployed at the No. Station, tend
cred his resignation, which was
accepted. Mayor John Carbonell,
Jr., appointed Mr.. Castro as a
member of the Police Depart
ment, requesting the confirma-
ton of the Council. The appoint
ment was unanimously approved.
1t was ordered that Mayor Car
bonell issue a proclamation in
connection with the Third Ami
vcrsary of the Waves organiza-
ton, which event will be observed
