 One of the most enjoyable social events of the year took place last night when about 300 guests were entertained by the Young Mems Catholic Institute at their rooms in the Weary block. There were sing ing and musical selections rendered by many good artists and also some clean exhibitions given of the manly art. Speeches were also made by Joseph J. Hall, Senator William Kennedy and Attorney Kennedy and Attorney William J. Weary. MT Hall spoke on the good influence of a Catholic institution of this kind in a community. MT Kennedy told of the good that the society had done for many in years that are gone and MT Neary made the speech of the even- ing when he pointed out in his own eloquent way the glorious possibili- ties of the society if the membership in it were only appreciated by those who are eligible for membership. At midnight the event was closed by the assemblage singing Auld Lang Syne, and with word of approval on the lips of all who attended for the Young Mems Catholic Institute.
 The board of warden and burgesses held their monthly meeting last night in the court room. Warden ROden- bach was absent and the meeting was presided over by Senior Burgess Rey- holds. The reports of the chief of po- lice, the tax collector and the health officer were read and approved. John J. Burke of Lewis street addressed the board saying that he received a bill for $9 for damages done by his dog in killing some fowls belonging to Thomas Bowling. He had wit nesses with him to prove that there was some mistake in identifying the dog, but the bill has been paid and it is up to the officials to prove who is responsible for the damage done, so the matter went over until later meeting. The fire chief and the fire committee handed in report to the effect that there were number of lhydrants in the borough that were leaking and one near the glove con- pany's factory on Water street that was so far below the surface of the road that no connection could be made with it in case of fire. The board voted to notify the water com- pany to carry out the recommenda- tions embodied in the committees s report. It was voted to have the en- gineer prepare plans for a sanitary sewer on Johnson street and Baldwin street to connect with the Tracy street sewer. Richard Burke ad- dressed the board saying that a sew CT wasn't needed on that street just now and hoped that the board would not force something on the people of the street that they didn't want. The sewer was ordered nevertheless. The hearing on damages on High and MilIville avenue was put over until the first meeting in January. A bill of $5 for a pig that had been killed by a dog was presented by Edward Smith who lives on the outskirts of the borough. This bill had been paid and Burgess Freeman objected to doing business in this way, He thought theer wasn't any hurry about paying bills of this kind and that an investigation should be made before a bill of this kind Is paid. The clerk read the assessments for the laying of curbing and sidewalks on Fairview avenue. Cliff street. Walnut street, Highland avenue. Maple street and Spring street and the board approved of the assessment as read. The bill of John ]. German was also approved. The assessment for sprinkling Main street was read and approved and it was voted that notice of the same be published in the Naugatuck Enterprise. A bill for s44.7O for damages done by water to the property of VIII. Watson was read. The board voted to adjourn
