Waterbury evening Democrat., 1908-01-29
CITY NEWS.


and Mrs William H. Hermann OF
Ills Bank street.
There will be an important meet
ing of the Ladies' auxiliary of the A
o. II. tomorrow evening in X. of c.
hall at 1880 o'clock.
Michael f Greaney and James
Donahue who have been soioulning in
the south the past few weeks will
spend the rest of their trip at Hot
Springs, Ark.
Christine LibeTo of s Mattatuck
street, who was injured near Ansonia
yesterday afternoon, had his right
foot amputated at the Waterbury
hospital this morning.
In accordance with vote passed
by the board of finance, Comptroller
Russell and Commissioner Lord Went
to New Haven to-day and made q
request upon representatives of the
Consolidated Co to be shown its earn
1ngs for the past year so that the
city may be in a position to see how
much, if anything at all, is coming tc
1t from the service. Up to press hour
the committee had not been heard
from, but it is safe to predict that
they will not be much wiser when
they return than they were before.
Judging from authentic report
and general appearance Waterbury is
to become great trolley center as
well as the main repair depot for the
Connecticut company. During the
past few weeks number of new hands
are being broken in to handle trolley
cars and new cars have been arriving
day by day. These cars cannot all
be used on the local lines, yet they
are all equipped for services in the
local repair yards. The report that
all repairs in future would be done
in the local yards and that in the
west end the general repair shops
were to be located gained such head
way Superintendent Wales was asked
If there was any truth in the report. He
said that all new cars for all the lines
of the Connecticut company would be
equipped here instead of being sent
directly on from the manufacturers
TO the lines they are intended for, and
that repairs will be made here also.
Thomas Ash, quite a respectable
appearing man, was a caller at the
office of the department of charities
this afternoon and told a tale of
woe which conveyed some idea of
how much one can endure and yet
not die. He left his home near
Springfield some time ago and start
ed off in search of employment. He
paid his fare and bought things to
eat as long as he had money. but he
got out of funds last Sunday and
since that time he declared he had
not tasted food. He was afraid to
ask anybody to help him lest he
should be arrested and sent to Jail
on a charge of vagrancy. He slept
wherever he could find shelter, and
considering that he was hungry and
tired, he appeared to be in good
spirits and was thankful that he was
alive. He was given his dinner. but
the outlook for work is not bright
and it is likely that he will have to
take to the road again, this time
penniless, and with little hope of
finding anything 20 do very soon.
