The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-10-07

by close to $500 votes. Attorney Palomba was considered one of the strongest men on the republican ticket. That he received a num- Der of democratic votes is evil denced by the fact that Mir En- nis' plurality was quite bit low CT than that given Mayor Hayes. At the same time, political lead CTS pointed out to-day, MT Ennis is what is called an "unknown quantity, being up for election for the first time. His victory was termed an important feature of the democratic win.
 The battle between City Treas urer Edward L. Futile and his re- publican opponent, Harley w. Tripp, while 1t did not attain the prominent newspaper notoriety of the fights between Mayor Hayes and Controller Leary against their g. o. p. opponents, was a hotly fought one, nevertheless. City Treasurer Futile won by a vote of over 5000 and this makes his sixth consecutive win and on Janu- ary he enters upon his 11th year as custodian of the funds of the municipality.
 Dorothy Vandercook of Greenleaf avenue, Fairlawn Manor, was the | loser. This Is quite significant in view of the fact that the republi- cans attempted to make the Fair lawn Manor school site and school building one of the important is- sues of the campaign.
 Mrs Vandercook, despite her residence being in the heart of Fairlawn Manor, was defeated. The members of the board of education on the democratic side were all reelected. They are John J. Walsh, pr Harry Dochelli, ex-Mayor Mar tin Scully, Thomas Bergin and Nathan Freedman. On the repub- lican side Commissioner Vincent Miller and Harry J. Beardsley were returned to office. In ad- dition Mrs Gertrude Bowes and Mrs Fred Webster were elected to the board, leaving Mrs Vandercook the loser.
 This is the first year that all members of the board of educa- ton have been elected at one elec- ton. Heretofore the board has been a continuing body, with two new members elected every two years for six years.
 Under the new charter the members of the board will now serve two years and all must come up for reelection in the regular biennial election. Incidentally, the new charter gives Mayor Hayes control over the boards ac- tivities that has not been enjoyed by previous mayors.
 On the board of aldermen the lowest was Fred Troske. republi- can. Under the charter each party nominates eight candidates. This makes 16 nominees in all. The charter provides that the 15 votes are declared elected. The feated. In yesterdays polling MT Troske failed to get sufficient votes to put him in the winning group. The. present democratic major | ity on the board was maintained and all the present democratic members were reelected. On the republican side a few changes were made. Leader Charles Schmidt, c. Arthur DuBois, Jo- seph J. Wilhelm and Pasquale Perriello were reelected on the g. o. D. side. New members elect ed to the board from that side include Oscar LaCroix, George Kingston and Attorney Joseph Ber- gin.
 Mayor Hayes, in carrying every ward, lost only two of the 20 dis tricts. He lost out in the seventh and the goth. However, the fact that he was victorious in the fa- nous republican strongholds, the second and third wards. clearly demonstrated the fact that he re- ceived a very substantial vote from g. O. p. electors. this in spite of the very earnest effort made by Mir Tracy to garner support in the two wards mentioned.
 On the board of selectmen. James W. Burns and Domenic Bar bieri. present democratic incum- | bents. were reelected. Anthony Finelli, republican, was elected to the board. George Jenkins. elec- trical inspector under ex-Mayor William H. Sandland, who also sought the board on the republi- can ticket, was the low man and | was tnoFeIOre OeCiaTeu tuo lOseT. | For the board of relief Frank
 Rossi. republican, who quit the board of selectmen to seek a new CT post, was the loser. John J. Walsh and Robert N. Scollay, dem- ocrats, and Joseph Stanley, repub- lican. were all reelected to the board of relief, leaving MT Rossi with the low vote and without a city or town post after the first
 Monday of January. MT Rossi's run. however, was a very good Il one.
 The communist party had a tick ct in the field yesterday but re-
 ceived little or no support. Charles Crosnitski, the candidate for
 mayor. received only 139 votes in the entire city. Joseph Zemaitis. who sought election to the office of city clerk on the communist tick
 ct. was accorded 133 votes. The other candidate on the ticket. Vim
