Carl W. Thompson was named the full time borough assessor al the meeting of the board of warden and burgesses held last night in the borough court room and Michae B. Reidy was named the part time assessor. MT Reidy is at present the full time assessor.

 The salary of the full time asses sor was set at $1,000 and that oi the part time member of the board at $500.

Adamson will receive Q salary of $2,550 a year Captain Anthony Malone, ST, will receive $1.87O 0 year, the regular patrolmen will receive 51 cents an hour and the supernumeraries 46 cents an hour. It was voted to have the ordinance in reference to salaries of the police department changed to conform to the new schedule.
 P. August Johnson, progressive member of the boapd would cut the salary of the chief of police to $2,O00 a year he stated, adding that he thought the salary of $2,550 Q year too high for q place the size of Naugatuck. Burgess Johnson asked why pay him so much when half of the people in the town are starving and he has a brand new eight cylinder car to run around in. Burgess Johnson remarked that he would like to have the job at $2,000 Q year.
 Warden Whittemore remarked that he did not believe that many people in the borough were starv- ing as only a few had taken ad- vantage of the Chamber of Com merce offer of free gardens where they might raise vegetables.
