The rates paid are practically standard throughout the state. Common labor is paid current wages and strictly in accord unce with the skill required. All tCtfer wages are set by the common council, and rigidly adhered to.
 ''The sole purpose of this an- swer to your alleged contention of extravagance and waste of public money. as indicated in the papers, is to correct a false impression and to remind you that we are ever ready to heed constructive criti- cism, and 10 that end would request your presence at q meeting of the board of public works to be held in room 306. city hall.

 The first witness was Alexander Kahn, engineering expert. who had been called upon by the stats to prepare a map of the Waupawaug poultry farm. when police and fed eral agents a month ago uncovered what they characterize as the big gest plot to manufacture illicit liquor to come to their attention in some time.
 Kahn after describing the lay out of the butldtnss testified to dis covering IT vats in one and to seeing other physical evidence which led him to the belief that a distillery had been operated in the place. John H. Candee, state police pho- tographer, identified pictures of the property and gave testimony regard ing conditions he found at the time he took them.
 Battaslia, according to the local police records. was arrested in 1928 for the first time, being fined $150 and costs with . suspended jail sen- tence of 30 days on March 2s for violating the liquor law. sergeants P. J. O'Mara and T. J. Feeney made the arrest. On October IT, 1927, he was again fined tl6O and sentenced to jail for 90 days for violation of the liquor law.

 He was also arrested on charges of speeding, breach of the peace and assault. reckless driving and disobeying . traffic officer.
 Coccomo was arrested for the first time June 2S. 1921 on charges of theft and burglary, and on Sept. 2. 1921 he was fined S10O and costs for violation of the liquor law.

He was also turn ed over to the state police on the liquor law violation charge at that time.
 From 1922 to 1925 he was not arrested for violation of the hquo- law in this city. but was brought into court once for breach of the peace and assault and once on the charge of driving an automobile with no license and no lights. On May i, 1925 he was bound over to the superior court for violating the liquor law, Sergeants O'Mara and Feeney having arrested him.

Dear Sir:
In this mornings Age an editorial

erly untrue, end in otner parts only
lalf true. and 1t is evident that the
editorial was based on erroneous or
garbled information.
