NAUGATUCK New Park Here
 Is Almost Ready
Provided for in Tuttle-Whittemore Fund - Charity
 Board Had to Confer With Members

Lewis park south of the Salem school playground on Meadow street where a large gang of men are engaged in making improve ments is fast rounding into shape Grading work preparatory to seed ing down the grounds is now being carried on and the large ledge on Meadow street at the foot of the park is being cut away. A fence is also being erected on Fairview avenue skirting the walk on this side of the park. The change in the grade line near the Kennery and Collins property has been com pleted and cement curbing and gutter has been installed. The work Is being carried on through the tle-Whittemore fund. Re- pairs to the rip rap wall on the east bank of the Naugatuck river have been completed through the fund and preparations are now be- ing made to plant trees along the top of the rip rap wall.
 Through the fund a sidewalk is being constructed on Riverside drive on the Grove cemetery side of the street. At the present time it is estimated that about 200 of the unemployed men of the bor- ough are on the fund payroll.
 Problems to Confront Board
 The board of charities will, it is expected, go into detail with Su- perintendent of Charities A. Bar ton Cross at their regular meeting next Monday night relative to the conditions that are to be met with the advent of cooler weather. Su- perintendent Cross is already mak- ing a survey of the conditions that are liable to confront the depart ment when cold weather arrives. if industrial conditions do not change.
 Much of the department appro- priation has already been used up, but regardless of this fact the needy will have to be cared for. The present year it is being figured will be one of the hardest that the department has had to contend with in a long period. Efforts are being continually made to find work for those unemployed by Su- perintendent Cross and he has been given splendid cooperation. he states. With the let up in au- tomobile traffic expected with cool CT weather, the borough will re- sume work on the trunk line sew CT on Riverside drive. This work was halted early in spring by the state highway department due to the start of heavy traffic over the trunk line. With the resumption of this work employment will be provided for several. The borough board at the last two meetings laid out much work for the street department to carry on, much of this work is the installation of ce- ment curb and gutter and this work cannot be carried on when real cold weather arrives. but it is expected to keep the street de- partment employees busy until that time.
 Trying Experiment
 Tn an effort to relieve the traffic congestion on Main street attri- buted to the long stop of trolleys taking on and discharging pas- sengers, an extra man has been put on the trolleys at the rush hour between and 6 o'clock in the evening to assist in the collection of fares. This experiment will be tried out for a time in accordance with an agreement reached by General Manager Charles Chap man of the Connecticut company and Borough Attorney Martin l.. f.aine. acting for the borough. If che putting on of the additional man does not solve the problem. some other plan will be tried.
