It seems to me that all resi- right, and be given an opportunity, to | express their views publicly on such jan important question. Our salary | revision. board is in the habit of giv- |ing a hearing to the heads of the | different departments. 1 think that they should also give a hearing to the people who pay the bills, | Let us®look at this from a business | standpoint. We shall use as an f{l- |lustration the big corporation of the Stanley Works, Let us assume that |they, from time to time, have had different superintendents and that these superintendents knew that some of the foremen had kept on the pay- roll many employes whom they | could dispense with, thereby decreas- |ing the dividends to the stofkholders. {This system continues for several years. Finally they succeed in dis- posing of th replacing them with a man who works for the interest of the stockholders and, by dispensing with a mass of surplus employes, saves for them many thousands of |dollars. Do you think that it would have been a good policy for the | stockholders to increase the salaries |of those heads of departments who kept on the payroll employes whom |they didn't need? And don’t you {think that the new superintendent,| who saved the ¢oncern this vast |amount of money is entitled to a sub- stantial increase in salary? My con- tention That our city de- partments should be managed econ- omically, have all the Lelp necessary, but no more. And if it is found {that the head of any or all de ! ments are aining unnec vy em pleyes, d action be If these employes are elected officials their salaries should be re- duced, and if appointed officials their resignation should be demanded. 1 s disgusted with the distinction | made in our common council between male and female emplo; 1 insist that the city. of New Britain, or any other employer, should pay for actual services rendered regardless of sex, | race, creed, color or fraternal affilia~ tion How cam a woman con- vote fop a party who: leaders diseriminate against their sex. Judging from the talk among the people around the Streets and in the factories we are now enjoying the best municipal government that New Britain has ever had, Mayor Pao- nessa is conceded by all to be work- ing in the interests of all the*people, and not being led or dictated to by a select few, machine or corporation. | Chief Hart of the police vh-mn‘llllf'y' is the only person in New Britain who has graduated from the ranks to the | highest position in his department. ‘ll was stated in the common couneil that he was absolutely fearless and I would also like to add that the people believe him to be strictly | honest, which is far more important in such a position, One thing I can't understand is why members of the fire department are not entitled to as much salary as those of the po. lice department. And why is not the chalrman of the police board s im- wtant as that of the fire board and, thereby, recelve the same arding the punching clock” by the city employes 1 like to sawgthat the g advocated m at the co I meeting {should have “also insisted that em- ployes who work overtime during the rush season should be reimbursed ac- cordingly. There are many em- ployes of city who give part of thelr time substantial selaries, These men are their own judge as to how much of their time they shall to the city. In concusion, Mr. Editor, 1 wish to say that this article is written in the spirit fair play and justice, T have hardly a speaking acquaintance | with any of the city employes but am in :’.n\m of #ving credit where credit is duc alary the would ntleman who tire for ve EFFICIENCY A QUERY ON HEAT Belvidere residepts would ikt to know why the Stanley school cannot be heated properly, Chidren are complaining to theif parents. We wish that the City of New Britain or school board would see to it'at once. Yours truly, A BELVIDERE RE IDENT.

Airplane imuil service is alloted $1,600,000, the {amount voted it a year ugo. | In its last report the committee | pointed out in comparing totals with those of last year that the bill does not carry the $260 Dbonus granted |clerks for the current fiscal year, It |also declared that the increased ap | propriation for enforcement of ihe | prohibition and narcotic laws would cnable the treasury to emplioy 300 ad- | ditional prohibition agents and 145 | more agents to be uscd in preventing | the ‘illegal use of narcotics, In the bill is an item of $531,600, entitled “floating expenses” which the | report explained would be used to | purchase fast motor launches, costing from $3,000 to $5,000 for gainst rum runners, New Punds N incr ed veolum reded The of funds be granted the customs service.
