MUCH WORK ON
 THE SIDEWALKS
The Storm of Yesterday Was Worst of Season
 for Pedestrians
CITY MEN OUT EARLY

People who cleaned and sanded walks last night saved themselves a lot of labor in not letting it go until today. The slush of yesterday was easily handled before it was frozen over. With this out of the way and q little sand or ashes sprinkled on the walks it was a great help to people going to work early this morning. At that. walking was dangerous, but 1t would have been much worse if property owners had not done anything.
 The street department men were out with pails of sand which they used on the crossing. and men also spread cinders on the sharp hills. So far as walking condition goes, the storm of yesterday was the worst of the season. So far no report has been made of any bad falls, but it will be no surprise if some should come in later. for many did nothing with the walks and one had to be sure footed to get over such places without taking q tumble.

mic must have forgotten his address for they neither sent him money or their best wishes and both have been known to send letters of per-
 sonal appreciation for comments from critics, friendly or otherwise
 Sullivan is inclined to talk so freely as to arouse the suspicion of the police that he is either seeking publicity or is lacking something mentally. But while postal officials and the local police investigate his attempt to extort money from E. V. Allie. prominent Cortland. N. Y., banker, being president of the Sec ond National Bank of Cortland, in- quiries have started to come in as to Sullivan's past activities. The special agent of the Grand Central station in New York city has written to the Waterbury police seeking in- formation concerning Sullivan. Re- quests have been received for his photograph and finger prints. As the accused is being held for the posital authorities no action will be taken as matter of courtesy until department of justice men take charge of the case.
 Captain William J. Keegan re- ceived to-day from the Cortland po- lice department long typewriter copy of the letter which Sullivan admits sending to Allie. Not only were the names of Al Smith and Jimmie Walker mentioned, but also John Raskob, chairman of the na- tional democratic committee, Major Warner of the state troopers, son. tn-law of former Governor Smith.
 The threats made by Sullivan against Allie are known to the local police and postal authorities, but no information will be given out to the public for q day or two.
 In default of bonds of s5,0OO Sul- livan remains prisoner at local po- lice headquarters. He was arrest ed Friday evening by Lieutenant Joseph Stevens and Patrolman Will liam Foley of the detective bureau when he called at the local post office to obtain the $5O,OOO in package that he directed Allie to send him under the threat of ex- posing some of his personal business affairs. The package was first sent to Bridgeport and later directed by Sullivan to Waterbury.
 Mir Allie views the incident as a joke, but decided that the nature of the letter should be considered by police and postal authorities. It may result seriously for the accused If he is found to be mentally all right.

WOOD ALCOHOL
 AND ETHYL GAS
Health Board to See That Sale Is According to
 Law
TO SEEK POLICE AID

The aid of the police will be asked by the health department in the very near future in infOrcing two health regulations prohibiting the sale of wood alcohol as an anti freeze and the sale of ethyl gas from pumps which do not display signs stating that the mixture is poison ous.
 At a recent meeting of the board of health, the health regulations. described above, were passed. Any individual who is apprehended fin the violation of these, will be brought before the authorities.
 In reference to the sale of wood alcohol as an anti-freeze, the health regulation was passed when the board announced the result of in- quiries stating that fumes from wood alcohol, also known as methanol, in many cases cause illness and in ex- treme cases can even cause perma- nent blindness.
 The ethyl gas also has bad effects if not handled carefully. Signs stat ing that the gas and ethyl compound is poisonous should be displayed to comply with the regulation, this be- ing all that is required.
 Police will investigate any con- plaints old if necessary make ar- rests, it was said.

DIFFERENCE OVER
 CUSTODY OF CHILD
Sophia Standard Claims Right to Care for Ward
 in Her Possession
CASE GOES TO COURT

It took longer to-day to voice the formal opening of city court than to transact business on the docket. The only case scheduled for trial was that of Sophia Standard, 34, of 36 Bene- fit street. who was charged with withholding the custody of minor child from her parent. A continu- ance of one week was ordered dur ing which time it is expected that some Satisfactory settlement will be effected out of court. The young ster in Mrs Standards care was placed in her custody about three years ago when the child's mother died. The father wants the child to return, but from all indications Mrs Standard and her little care pre- fer to let present arrangements re- main.
 There was no other business to occupy the attention of the court.

N. E. SHARE OF
 FEDERAL AID
$775,OOO of Appropriation for East-BridgepOrt and
 New Haven Included
ROAD WORK ADDITIONAL

New England's share of the $116.- 100000 emergency appropriation au- thori2ed by congress amounts to $775,OOO or 0.66 per cent of the fund for the nation. The New England states pay 7.7 per cent of the in come taxes of the country.
 The $775,000 is available immedi- ately and it is possible that further allocations may be made. New Eng land is also eligible to receive part of the $8O,000,000 road building fund.- but the amount received from this fund depends upon appropria- tions made by states from their own coffers
 The $775,OO0 will be spent entire- ly for harbor improvements in Mass achusetts and Connecticut. Mass achusetts, which will receive S569,- 900 Or 0.49 per cent of the appro- priation for the nation. pays AZ per cent of the income taxes of the na- ton. Connecticut, paying 1.7 per cent of the income taxes, will receive $206,O00, amounting to 0.17 per cent of the total appropriation.
 The fund, which will make possi- ble immediate work on projects which otherwise would not have been started till 1932, will be appor- toned as follows:
 New Bedford. Mass ...... $239, 900 Fall River Mass .......... 200,000 Lynn, Mass .............. 90,O00 Salemn, Mass ............. 10000 Bridgeport, Conn ......... 153,OOO New Haven, Conn 53,OOO
