In its building program, the Board of Education proposes to: ,7
spend approximately $350,000. For a city of Norwalk’s population,
this is a large burden for the taxpayers. It.is'fair that they should
have Opportunity to express their opinions as to how this sum should
be spent.
The Board of Education doubtless has investigated thoroughly
the needs of Norwalk in the matter of schOol buildings. In actual
construction of the buildings, opinions may differ as to the type, ma- _
rterial and construction. For instance, if the younger generation of
the city were consulted, each of the three new school buildings would
have a well-equipped gymnasium; at the same time the older genera-
tion may feel that this would be a needless burden of expense“
Let us have public hearings on the building question that the
wisest and most satisfactory plan be adopted.

A Billboard Tax,
The municipal art jury of Philadelphia has placed before the
Pennsylvania legislature a proposal to tax .811 billboards at the rate
of 5 cents a square foot. Half pfthis tax, Would go to the state, half
to the municipality, village or township in which the sign is located.
The suggested act defines billboards to include rocks or other natural
objects used for advertising purposes, as'well as the signs painted
on the sides of buildings. In the latter case only the area used for
the advertisement is taxed. - V
The fight against disfiguring billboards continues in most 10-
. calities, although the legal principle of the right to regulate bill.
boards located on private property has not yet been finally establish:
ed‘by the highest courts. Wherever they form a menace to public
safety, U18 right is clear enough. Apparently some Pennsylvanians
believe also that, since the billboard produces revenue for its owner,
it can be taxed on that ground, without pushing esthetic reasons.
Other states are likely to become interested in the Keystone.
state’s action, if the bill is passed and enforced. It looks to some?
persons like a better way to derive additional revenue for highway
maintenance than taxing gasoline.

The Presidenth'Record
Now that President Harding has packed his tent and stolen
away from the arid sands of the capitol, and its fierce anLheated
criticism, to seek the balmy breezes of Florida waters, we can dis~
passionately take stock of what the Sixty-seventh Congress has achiev- ’
led during the Republican administration.
Probably the question of economy in thd transaction of all the na-
tion’s-business lies nearer to the hearts—and purse strings—of the
people than all else. The president’s vacation, the first he has en-
joyed since he took the reins of omce two years ago, need not be dis-
turbed when he contemplates what has been. accomplished in this re-.
.spect towards fulfilling the preeelection promises to do everything
possible to lessen the burden of‘excessive taxation. The annual ap-
pr0priations of Congress show a decrease of approximately forty per
cent. Certainly ,thc niost bitter opponents of the Harding adminis~
tration can hardly withhold their congratulation for the relief in this
direction given to the distressed taxpayers.
. Although the ship subsidy bill was thrown out because of the ’
widespread dislike in the American mind of- any form of bolstering
industries by subsidizing them, the countryfimay yetprealize that Mr.
Harding’s pet measure is ”sound in principle and is, perhaps, the only
way 111 “7111611 the merchant shipping of our country may be enabled
to take its rightful placp and carry the flag across the seas into the
harbors and ports of the world. ‘ ' '

The wave of idealism which swept the entire civilized globe ati
