Miss Agnes Morewood is selling Southwold, her grandfathers home at 584 South Street to Mr. and Mrs. George W. Edman, whose IS year-old house at 142 Pomeroy Avenue is being purchased by Mr.

and Mrs. Harvey M. Kelsey. Both houses have nine rooms. Grand-niece of Herman Melville, Miss Morewood inherited the stue-house at the corner of South co 1 1 The rumored resignation of Public Works Commissioner Leon H.

Reed was used last night as a springboard by Lawrence J. (Bounce) Maloney, City Council I at-large aspirant, for a scathing denunciation of conditions at City HalL Speaking at a rally at his home, Seymour he said the Public Works Department, which he termed the citys most Important, is "seething- with dis-. sens ion and the morale of the workers, not the pets, is at a low ebb." After suggesting that the city direct its attention to the "acquisition of a competent man for this Job, he proposed that the salary be raised from $3800 to $7500. From there, he moved- to attack the- City Council for its salary I raise ordinance. Statement Maloney said in part: For some weeks there has been a rumbling in and about City Hall and Dunham Street that Leon H.

Reed is going to resign, as of the first of the year, as commissioner of public If that is Mr. Reed's intention, I would like to wish him well as, from all reports, will most of the employees working under him. Such being the case, the city might well direct Its attention t6 the acquisition of a competent man for this job. You can discuss incinerators, new city halls, libraries, schools, war memorials, water meters, sewer and water extensions, etc, but it is my sincere belief that none op these projects can hold a light to the Importance of managing' our Department of Public Works, which entails the proper and fair handling of all its employees and of the water and sewer departments. By com-- parison, almost all other city chores play minor roles and for that reason, I think, the salary for such a Job should be placed at the top of the municipal pay schedule.

If its worth $6000 or more, for a superintendent of schools, a commissioner of public works should be worth at least $700 a year. Dont forget besides water and sewage, he has to see that roads, sidewalks and bridges are kept in repair and he is the man who should cause the snow to be plowed from the streets while the snow is on it and not wait for the spring thaws to remove it. Rebuilding of the Works Department is, I think, Pittsfield's front line of attack in the effort to get back on its feet. The department is seething with dissensioh and the morale of the workers (not the pets) is at a. low ebb.

Here, 1 think, would be a good start in the line of a war memorial by providing 100 or more-veterans with good paying permanent jobs. Salary Survey Again vv Speaking of salaries. Id like to get back to a point that I raised when I announced my candidacy shortly before the primaries. .1 said then that I would revive that salary survey that the city paid $1800 for 1939 and 'then tossed out the window my yelling brought results because the survey, moth eaten and almost unreadable with dust, was removed from the shelf for the benefit of an Eagle reporter, and then placed back in the same spot presumably to be used as museum piece for the municipal service scholars of the 21st century. Well I havent forgotten and I 'dont intend to let the City Council forget it.

The Council showed its absolute neglect for that survey when it came out just recently with a salary raise ordinance. Get this, While the boys in the lower brackets you know the ones, I mean those who have been hit the hardest by the higher cost of living get a 15 per cent raise, those in the higher levels are getting anywhere from 25 to 60 per cent increases I Where in the name of Sam Hill do you find fair Judgment in a move such as this? And why did they wait until election time to bring all these findings up? When I reminded them last month about a salary survey, some of the boys banded together. made a survey of their own, and then stepped out to wait for the votes to roll in next Tuesday. Another thing, why should just the West Street section be picked out for the proposed water tank. Sure theyve got low pressure at times and so have residents up northr and the streets north of Springside Avenue and ove around Coltsville.

As a matter of fact, I cant see why the City Council is getting so all fired up about this water tank now because it was proposed by Metcalf Eddy in a report made in 1944. West Street is certainly doing all right for itself and if it can get away with it. I kind of wish them luck. I notice the residents of that boulevard are earmarked for the first sewer under capital outlay while other sections will have to wait in line. it -a Stressing the point that he works for a living like the rest of you, Frank J.

Tatro, Local 255, United Electrical, Radio Machine Workers of America president, wearing a sweater, yesterday afternoon assailed the General Electric Company for its alleged stubborn attitude in conferences on the unions demand for a $2 a day wage raise.

Replies to Statement Made By His Opponent 4 Answering Eugene O.

Sullivan, whom he labeled my erstwhile genial opponent, Patrick E. Callaghan, Ward 1 City Council candidate last night outlined his stand on several issues, both ward and city-wide. He spoke at -a rally at his home, 147 Brown Street. Callaghan referred to Sullivans offence at a handsome endorsement given me by a highly respected citizen. Rep.

Thomas E. Enright," and said the support of Enright, the outgoing councilman in this ward, was very comforting." Discussing the appointment of a director of parks and recreation and- -war memorial, Callaghan said he continually has advocated waiting before making decision on either. However, he said Sullivan has made inconsistent statements on the war memorial issue, because weeks ago he wanted the general public to atr their view on a memorial without waiting for the servicemen to come home." He continued, 'Incidentally my opponents timing of the park director issue is not very good. Most people are grateful for the parade staged by the park director, which diverted the chil dren's activity Into the right channels, and as the leading editorial in The Eagle very aptly put, it, Van-dalistic pranks were kept at an irreducible minimum of damage." He asserted that it is very evident that my opponent has lot to learn about Ward 1 and Morning-side in particular when he makea this misstatement. To my knowledge there has been no water in the Crane School pool all summer.

Asked Callaghan, This really brings up the $64 question. Just what was in the pool while the tots waded there? If it wasnt water, what was it? The question will have to remain unanswered for -the pool has been drained. In conclusion, Callaghan said I reiterate my previous statement that I will strive, if elected, to work in harmony with the City Council for the betterment of all sections of the ward and city.
