 So far as can be learned work has been pretty good in Waterbury during the winter, and although the weather was cold part of the time, it was not I so severe but men accustomed to out I door operations could stand it. Very l few able bodied men were seen about | the streets looking for work and the number of such persons who applied to the board of charities was very small compared with that of former | years. This looks we'll for Waterbury and the contractors think that there is no reason to suspect that things will be | different during the coming summer. l Talking about this matter, John w. Gaffney said that while there is not a great deal going on just now. the pros l pect was good and that unless some | thing unexpected should turn up the building business will be good this sea- son. MT Gaffney didn't anticipate any labor troubles in Waterbury
