 Report of Projects Committce
 The projects committee makes the following report on the projects for which the moneys of the un- employment fund were used.
 This report is of conditions as we estimate they will be at the close of work on Tuesday evening. April 28th.
 Christensen street storm sewer, finished.
 Hoadley street storm sewer, fin- ished.
 Cliff street storm sewer-This work is finished. together with a sewer which joins 1t running from the corner of Nettleton avenue, with three connections to care for surface water on this street. A manhole at the point where new and old sewers join about 120 feet from Cliff street still remains to be built by the borough.
 Activities such as snow removal, cutting brush, cleaning work done for schools and board of charities department can close at any time This is also true of work being done on Lewis park.
 May street, finished. This work was the widening of corner near Pond Mill school and is very notice- able improvement.
 Millville sanitary sewer. This has been a very expensive job as we have had to go through about 600 feet of ledge but we are now through and the remainder of the job is good digging and the only difficulty presented is the depth of the sewer (about 12 feet). If sand is met and snoring required, the work may be delayed somewhat; if.not. it should be near completion April 18th.
 Park avenue extension sanitary sewer. The sanitary and storm sew CTS on Megin avenue have been ex- tended to the corner of Megin ave- nue and Park avenue extension. Manholes are to be constructed here. The sanitary sewer is extended the length of aPrk avenue extension to Park avenue. Considerable blast ing has been done, but project should be near completion April 2Sth.
 Millville and Park avenue pro- jects are assessment propositions and of course our money will be prorated over the entire length of tho projects.
 Rip Rap Wall. In conjunction with this project the work contemplated on Mill and High streets has been finished. Stone from Mill street and fill from High street were used for Rip Rap Wall. The Rip Rap Wall to approximately Hotchkiss street, also along Recreation field to dam in Naugatuck river has been com pleted. A short section of retain ing wall near Hotchkiss street may or may not be finished. At points where we were compelled to make extensive fills for Rip Rap Wall, the wall has sunken in spots due to fresh fill and frost. but these can be cas- ily remedied at some future time
  passed. The quit claim deeds for property owners have been prepared. To finish this project properly a fence with trees and shrubbery should be placed along 400 to 500 feet of this wall and 1t would make an attractive setting.
 Industrial Survey.
 A rather comprehensive survey of industrial conditions in Nauga- tuck has been made by the Unem- ployment Fund. Inc. Practically every industry. large and small, has been analysed; figures secured from most competent sources have been compiled and the result Is very fay- orable. It does not show Naugatuck prosperous. of course. but it does show our situation to be more for tunate than most communities.
 The figures below are totals taken from the report:
 Number of employees June 1880 3S57 Number of employees Dec 1880 35S3 The following figures were taken from the Census Bureau United States Dept. of Commerce and do not include office employees:
