deserve. I don‘t want to be harsh.
but I hon't think you realize the im-
portance of the tax commissioner's

obtained with which to run the city.
And don't forget that there is more
than 8.000 acres orland within the
city. 3I‘won't*complete the records

five years I shall shake hands with
myself. On Monday I spent six hours
at Harbor View Beach checking up
the property. I found one house

property which had not been listed

we have is the inconsistency of-as-

“The one thing we need in Nor-
walk, and I am asking you to sup-
port me in this, is a taxing map. “’6
It will cost $18,000.
This seems a lot of money. but the
" map is something we should have
had fifty years ago.
It won't be necessary to spend the
$18,000 in one year. Spread it over
five years. Never before in the his-
tory of Norwalk have we received
the co- -operntion of the cities repart-
ments as we are today. The lax col-
lector helps me: the city clerk, the
street department: and I help them.
If there is any question on assess-
ments, don’t talk it over on the street
come down and see me. I want to
get things right. I can lower assess-
ments if I have made an error as
well as raise them."

It is high ground that Homer
Cummings takes when he preaches
the gospel .of law enforcement and
the need. of the state and the nation
uniting for the cominon good. We
cannot dodge the issue “that. faces
the state and‘we do not believe
of politics and political influences
have been so extensive that without
prganised effort little can be ac-
complfihed.
Mr. Cummings as state' 1 attorney
for Fairneld county. has had a large
experience with bootleggers. with
hijackers. with“ rum runners from
the see. the piracy and crime
that: have resulted. so what he says,
is most illuminating. ’- We know.
for instance. that there are hun-
dreds of lawless men engaged 'n the
smuggling and rum running. trade
but few of us in this inland com-
munity know ab t the piracy that
exists among t crews or rum
boats. who kill one another of: and
steal their cargoes. whenever they
get the opportunity.
'Thege rum traders are probably
the most lawless men on earth for
they know of no honor among
thieves and think only of the power
of fence and thepchances of escap-
ing ”detection. Bootleggers are kill-
ed by other: in the same business
while rum pirates war upon the
less powerful of the smugglers.
Moreover a great deal of the infor-
motion that the authorities have
about these bootleggers comes from
tips from vengeful associatoa
