who were injured in the overeen8 conflict and were left 70 that they were not able to pursue their usual avocations. This was fate of q very large number of men, who an- swered the call to arms in the flush of youth and returned home unable to do anything to help them selves.
 Unfortunately, many forget the great sacrifice of these men for the nation. When leaving here they were assured that if they made good overseas their townsmen never would forget them. There is no ques- tion that they gave the best there was in them and therefore the nA- tion they served so we'll should not be unmindful of their needs. Any thing they receive is but Q conpen- the hour of their country's peril. The meeting this evening should be attended by representatives of the city government and others who ap- preciate the work these men did in upholding the honor of the United States in the great struggle overseas which undoubtedly would have gone against the allied powers were it not for the courage of the American soi- dier. among whom the disabled vet erans of Waterbury played no tnsig- nificant part.
 Assistant Commander John J. Mulligan of the Waterbury chapter in the affair tomorrow night are George L. McGrath, William Petch- clock, James Martone, George M. Topshe, Thomas F. Driscoll and Henry J. Flanagan.

Work on widening the bridge on Wooster street will be started as soon as plans are prepared by the engineering department. The board decided that the question of overassessment of property of Arr thur Gaess of Waterbury was a mat ter for the board of relief to handle. MT Gaess has applied for abatement of taxes on excess valuation. The property it Is stated, is listed for $200 an acre. A fair valuation it was stated by some of the board members would be $100 an acre. The matter will be again reported on atanother meeting.
 The street committee will look over conditions at the syphon in the sanitary sewer system in Union City. Supt German stated that the syphon was in need of flushing and clean. ing. There is no way to flush the syphon unless long line of hose is laid. This does not give sufficient force to do the work.

casonally across his uniform. He read part of Coroner John T. Mon- zani's report of the statement re- ceived from Mrs Walker at St Vim cents hospital where she said she noticed 8 big light shining ahead as her car approached that night.
 MT Lynch recalled how the ofYicer was forced to jump aside so as not to be struck by the Peebles' car as it passed without stopping, of the pursuit and pulling up to within 50 feet of the fleeing car and blowing the police whistle. He told how Off, cer Richter drove the police car al- most along side and was forced off the road, of dropping back short distance and firing two shots in the air. MT Lynch said the officers sim cerely believed they had the bandits when the car they were pursuing failed to stop at the f1ashlight warn- ing, at the whistle blowing and the firing of the shots in the air. He told how Officer Richter, with one hand on the wheel, reached out and fired two more shots at the wheels of the fleeing car and of the one shot fired by Officer Herr, which caused Mrs Walkers death. He de- scribed how uncertain 1t was, trav- cling along at rate of 60 of 70 miles an hour and attempting to hit the wheels Of fleeing car.
 "I can't make myself believe, and don't believe you gentlemen are of the opinion that it was a crim- final act" MT Lynch said. These are fine, courageous, well trained young men, not criminals, but off, cers of the law who were carrying out their duty that night as best they knew how" He asked the jury to look upon the prisoners and see whether they were common crim- inais capable of committing a crim- inal act with wilful premeditation.

stated that these taxes were unco1- lectable and should not be carried as asset. Bonds of Borough Treas urer John Kiernan and Baliffs Carl w. Thompson and Cornelius Mono- han were approved by the board.
 Burgess Burke of the street com mittee submitted a report on the condition of curbing and gutters on Grove street. They should be re- paired he stated. The stretch be- tween Park avenue and May avenue was very bad. Burgess Anenberg stated that other property owners on the street have inquired from him as to what was to be done with the lower part of the street. The opinion was expressed that the curbing was not set properly at the start. storm water had undermined it. P. August Johnson one of the petitioners to have the Scurbing re- set, was against paying any of the cost of the work. He thought the borough was to blame. He felt that it was all wrong for property own CTS to originally pay for curbing and gutters once and when they are washed out by storm water to be asked to again pay for the work.
 Warden Green reminded MT Johnson that the curb had been in place about 20 years and that in his opinion g. complaint should have been registered before this late date. MT Johnson stated that about two years after the curbing was set it started to go bad. He said that the matter was called to the atten- tion of the borough a few years ago. Joseph Doran, another resident of the street, spoke on the matter and was of the opinion that the borough was to blame for the condition due to the fact that storm water was not taken care of. Burgess Zwick was of the opinion that the prop erty owners should be given a price on the work. He said it was done before on Scott street, a special price being given. He felt that if an accident occurred on the street the borough would be liable.
 MT Johnson informed the board that a woman had fallen on the sztreet recently. It was decided to request all property owners on the street to sign 8 waiver for curb and gutter.
 Burgess Burke reported that the street committee had decided to continue to purchase sand from the Clark company. No contract had been entered into, 1t was stated, sand being purchased as needed.
 On motion of Burgess Sheridan the board voted to authorize Chief

The man was scarce iy mentioned in the family. though starr was "amazingly frank with all of us," according to Faithful, as a matter of fact, Starr claimed that that night was Q blank to her.
