malt, hops and other accessories essential in home brewing were in negotiation with the distributors of "Neeco", but decided either to wait for an official decision or reach the conclusion that there was no popular demand for a change in the quality of beverages sold here. Waterburys beer has an enviable standing throughout the state, consequently "Neeco" did not prove popular or at least no one attempted to popularize it in Waterbury.
 A favorable decision will end in the dismissal of the pending cases. If probable cause is found the de- fendants will be held for trial in the September term of the U. s. court.

Warden Frank T. Green addressed
 a large gathering of democrats last night in the borough court room at which time plans for the coming
 borough election in May were dis cussed.
 | Warden Green pointed out the
 work that had been accomplished
 by the administration during the past year. He believed that the
 record made by the administration
 was one that the party could feel
 proud of. There is much work that was started last year the warden stated that remains unfinished. It
 would please him he said to be re- turned to office to carry on this work if the voters so choose. War den Green stated that not much work can be accomplished by an ad- ministration in one year, 1t takes an administration about that length of time to get under way and to make plans. He felt that if the democrats were returned to power this year much constructive work would be ccomplished. Warden Green who recently returned from , St RaphaePs hospital in New Ha- ven where he underwent an opera tion still shows the effects of his ill., ness and made his talk while seat ed. Pierce l.. Freeman in ad- dressing the gathering flayed the charity department for the manner in which the department is con- ducted. He took the members or the charity board to task for thelr indifference in allowing the superfn- tendent of the, charity department to conduct practically all or the business of the department. George Lambert, former burgess praised the administration of Warden Green. In the speakers opinion, Warden Green had given the borough one of the best administrations 1t has ever had. He felt that the taxpayers of the borough would return him to office on May 4. Former Democra- tic Town Chairman Mrs Annie E. Calvin also addressed the meeting and predicted success for the party on election day.
 Mrs Martin l.. Caine, secretary of the town committee also addressed the meeting as did John Brannigan, president of the democratic club Of Naugatuck. President Brannigan presided as chairman. Efforts will be made to have all of those whose names appear on the list to be made voters appear before the board Of seIectmen and town clerk to-day to be admitted to the electors oath.
 New Road Machine Arrives.
 A new road machine for the use of the borough street department arrived in the borough yesterday and was tested out by Driver Charles Rathburn. The new machine is a great improvement over the old road machine which the department had for the past several years. The machine is scrapper and scarifier of powerful construction. An ap- propriation of $2,500 was placed in the street department budget for the purchase of the machine by the bor- ough board.
