 The Connecticut Railway and Lighting Go informed board of bur gesses that they could not see their way clear to reduce the fares between here and Waterbury during certain hours of the day, as it had been re- quested to do. The proposition thus refused had been made by Nauga- tuck to the trolley company with a view to benefiting the working peo- pie who use the line to go to work. At the meeting of the warden and burgesses last night announcement was made of the gift of John H. Whittemore of $20,00O as fund for the keeping of the grounds of the Naugatuck high school. This makes total of $40,000 given by MT Whit temore for this purpose. He built the high school at cost of over $1,0O0,- 900. A communication was received from E. E. Stevens, who asked to be granted the same privilege that the Episcopal church owners have. The church owns part of the park proper ty, and the borough is under obliga- tions to the church intsead of vice versa. Burgess Reynolds made motion that all property owners be granted the same privilege that the Naugatuck News Co has, which, now ever, is only temporary. Burgesses Reynolds, Finnegan and Linsky voted in favor of the motion, Bur gesses Dayton, Schofield and Olsen in the negative. The warden de- clared, the, motion .,, lost, r Burgess Finnegan made a motion that the Naugatuck News Go be instructed to close their passageway. This motion was also lost by the same vote. War den Rodenbach stated that he con sidered the spirit manifested Dy those voting for the motion was al most an insult" to J. H. Whittemore, | who asked as a condition to. the granting of all the park property re- gently deded to the borough for the | sum of s1, by him, that no private passageway be granted to anyone across the park property. MT Roden- bach then produced blank deed of | trust containing a gift of $2O,OOO from MT Whittemore for the main | tenance of the new high school prop | erty and grounds. MT Rodenbach, after reading the deed, stated that he felt deeply hurt at the attitude of those gentlemen who backed up the motions above mentioned, and said that it could be construed as nothing short of a slap in the face" to the man who is giving thousands of dol lars toward the education of their own children.
