Stars bring gray hairs to the head of every manager. Likewise, they fre- quently cause gray hairs to grow on the head of a mayor if he happens to have chosen them for his family. While it is too early to make pre- dictions, It seems a safe judgment that Mayor Paonessa is avolding, as far as posible, appointing commis- sfoners who are known to be tem- peramental in private life. So long as he pursues this course, just so long will he have peace. It will be recalled that a great deal of Mayor Curtis' unhappiness during the early part of his regime was due to temperament, particu- larly on his part. No prima donna ever was more temperamental, pol- itically speaking of course, and as a result the mayor and his family got along like strange cats in a dark attic. Tt helped wreck his adminis- tration because when he began to dismiss commissioners right and left he made new enemies. The possibility of such a situation is something that every mayor must face. However, it looks as if there would he little display of tempera- ment in city hall during the present administration. No time should be lost by Mayor Paonessa in fixing the blame for the condition of Arch, Main and East Main streets during the past week, the pavements on all three thorough- fares being torn up in sections si- multaneously, Business men and oth- ers who have occasion to drive ve- hicles along the streets mentioned felt that they had been imposed upon by omeone whose judgment was at fault and they did not spare any words in expressing their opinions. It was pointed out during the week that the fire department would bhe seriously handicapped while respond- ing to alarms. Chief Noble keeps close watch on the condition of all streets and it would be necessary for him to order a detour, no doubt, if alarms came from sections ordinari served by these three traffic lane: To risk sending costly fire apparatus over any of these routes would be to invite broken axles and perhaps injury to the firemen. Owners of private automobtles par- ticularly were annoyed by what ap- peared to be a senseless procedure. It was freely predicted that the city would face numerous bills for brok- en springs. There are a few thousand people in the city who would like to get a explanation of the situation a responsible city official. real from .0 Criticism of the mayor's course in ignoring the city charter when select- ing his board of health is heard even from democrats who feel that he has laid himself open to.attack‘from re- publicans in the common council. The charter states plainly that at least one member of the health board shall be a plumber. Mayor Paoncssa has seen fit to overlook this on the ground that it does not square with present requirements. His claim that it not in Kkeeping with the situation now e ing may be true, but he has committed an error in try- ing to interpret the spirit of the law. If it were possible for every execu- tive to make laws to suit himself would he no use for a charter or for ordinances. Chaos would re- sult. During each successive admin- istration we would have a new code of regulations, a new method of ap- ing commissioners and a new way of puttjng laws into execution. If such lay were permitted to be- come a custom, the politicians would wax fat Mayor tends to taare point Paonessa says that he in- have the charter amended so that it will not be necessary for him to appoint a plumber to the hoard of health. Perhaps such a course will be a wise one, but until the law is amended, the mayor should conform to it, just as he wants every other law-abiding citizen to do. His action in failing to appoint a plumb- er to the bhoard is nothing to become alarmed over, but he should remedy his mistake. .. And while the little hammer ' is working well, what about the way 0. F. Curtis places his own interpre- tation on the state statute relative to an itemized account of campaign con- tributors. If the law provides that each candidate fle a list, together with the names of the contributors, why shouldn't Mr, Curtis be compel- led to live up to it? Why shouldn't City Clerk Thompson live up to his oath of office and report the matter to the prosecuting attorney, If the law so stipulates? Tt is not for the city clerk to interpret the law and because he 1s cither a close friend of Mr, Curtis or because, perhaps he is afrald of him, undertake to settle the matter himself. If the law says a city clerk shall, at the expiration of 20 days, notify the prosecuting at- torney when a candidate shall not have filed an itemized list, then Clerk Thompson f{s committing a most flagrant violation of his duty as an official and as a citizen, Candi- date Quigley flled his itemized list. Doubtless there are many men in political and mere civil life who would be mighty interested to know just who financed Curtis' campaign. Because Curtis does not want to tell them, and because he apparently wields sufficlent power over the city clerk to have him wink at a statute that proves displeasing to his ex-su- perior officer, is no reason he should be allowed to get away with it. It is just these things that make for crooked politics and make the peo- ple distrust those in office. If they will hold out on one thing, they will hold out on another, many folks be- lieve. e New Britain's chest is extended this week, and justly so. We doubt if any amateur thespians anywhere in New England could give a more finished performance of the “Ginger- bread Man' than Was given this week at the Lyceum theater. In every par- ticular it was splendid. Full justice has been given the per- formance by The Herald reviewer, but the Observer could not let pass this opportunity to express his pleas- ure at the Wednesday evening per- formance. Principals did nobly. The chorus reached a point that was un- believably near perfection. And we go on record that Ziegfeld—the man who picks the beauty choruses that take all gold medals and blug rib- bons—couldn’t have done better had he been invited to visit the homes in New Britain to select a chorus for the “Gingerbread Man." From the smallest to the tallest ac- tor and actress, the cast was excel- lence itself. Even the oldest inhabi- tant will concede that he cannot re- member a show produced by local amateurs in w{xlch there were half a dozen A No. 1*singers of both sexes.
