ing Fund Several Jobs in Process of Construc-
ton Commissioners Informed at Meeting !

Hill street. Assistant City Engineer
Charles Root explained that the
layout was completed in accord
ance with the plans. AS for the
assessments, they'll have to be
paid, 1t was explained, in accord
ance with the figures adopted by
the bureau of assessment.
Despite. opposition from several
present. the board recommended a
sewer for WATERFOWL avenue be-
tween Windsor street and Irving
ton avenue. This sewer IL neces-
sary so as to provide an outlet for
the Bunker Hill section into the
new trunk sewer in Steele'S brook.
Some residents explained that they
could get along without the sewer
but in view of the fact that the
work is necessary in order to carry
on the city's sewer program in that
section the board found that pub
lie necessity and convenience war;
ranted its installation. The mat
ter now goes to the board of
finance and the aldermen. A sewer
for Park terrace was also recon-
nTended. The health department
has already reported that condi-
lions in the street warrant a sani-
tary lateral.
The board was asked by Mrs
John O'Lesky of Wayland avenue to
lay cinder walk. The matter was
referred to the superintendent of
streets. She suggested that the
men working for the Mutual Aid
do the job with the. materials be-
ing furnished by the city. In re-
sponse to a request for surface re-
lief on Norton street the residents
appearing were advised to file a
layout and grade petition. From
Bradley avenue residents came a
request for oil for their street.
They were informed that the street
is on the list to be oiled and will
be reached soon. The matter of
installing a catch basin at Bunker
Hill and Grandview avenues was
referred to the street committee.

Waterbury has expended $15,400
on sewer work so far this year and
at the present time has several
more sanitary carrier jobs '.in the
works." it was disclosed last night
at a meeting of the board of works.
However, despite this big expendi-
ture the city still has $13,822 re-
naming in the revolving sewer
fund, meaning that there is money
available for much additional
work. However, there is over $780,
900 due the city in sewer assess
ments yet unpaid.
This condition Of the revolving
sewer. fund is the healthiest it has
been in years, according to the
opinions expressed by the commits
sioners. So far this year not a
sewer recommended by the works
board has been turned down for
lack Of funds. This, also, is consid-
cred a record in view of conditions
in past years. The city's program
of extending sewers this year has
gone on .unhampered.
The report on the condition of
the fund was rendered at last
nights meeting by Controller
Daniel j. Leary as a result Of a
request made two weeks ago Dy
Senator Joseph H. Lawlor, a menu
Der of the board. He asked at that
time that the board be given an
idea of the amount of money on
hand.
The sewer assessments now out
standing, amounting to over $780,
600, 60 into the revolving sewer
fund and are used to continue the
IL
city, annually, sets up $4,000 in
the budget as its share Of the fund
aside from the assessments.
Last nights meeting of the
works board was brief. Residents
from Chase avenue appeared in a
body and expressed dissatisfaction
with having to pay an assessment
for the layout and grade of their
thoroughfare. They also question
ed the plans which allowed the
street to be raised where it meets

Besides this stellar attraction which will mark the first time in many years that an amateur cham pionship bout will be held in this city. Matchmaker Mu1ligan has se- cured teams from New York, New Haven, Torrington, Bridgeport. New Britain, Derby, Hartford, and Waterbury's leading scrapperg to take part in the show.
 Recently State Boxing Commig- sioner Thomas B. Donohue ruled that in the future all titleholders will have to defend their titles when fighting at the class limit. Angelo has agreed to come in at the bantamweight class and 1t is expected that he will scale 118 pounds for his battle with the local Italian. Sciaretti will not have, any trouble making weight for the bout as the local youth has been doing most of his fighting in that division during the past month.
 Coming Along.
 Although Sciaretti will be mak- ing his first appearance of the sea- son at the local hall, he has been doing a lot of fighting about the state and has won all of hiss bouts. Two weeks ago he defeated James Duncan Stamford puncher, who previous to his meeting with the. Waterburian won five straight fights by a knockout.
 A diamond studded belt that was to Frankie Angelo in several weeks ago when he won the title from Spiro Morris. Bridgeport youth. will be at stake in his fight with Sciaretti. The belt will be in the hands of the local boxing deputy and will be the winner.
 And Besides.
 Besides Sciaretti, other Water bury boxers that will find a place on the card will be Danny Martin. Jr, 140; Eddie Hogan, heavyweight champion; Joe Steele, middleweight champion; Frankie Alterie, 126; Jack Larrivee, 155; Tommy Mack, 120; and others.

HOLY CROSS HIT
 HARD BY INJURIES

Worcester, Nov 8-Several members of the Holy Cross foot ball squad reported minor injuries following the Brown game at Providence, Saturday. None are thought to be serious, and will not affect the probabilities of the ath- letes playing in the Harvard game, the next major objective of the Crusaders. Tim Murray, star back. has a bad hip injury. but Trainer Bart Sullivan was of the opinion yesterday that the Home city boy would be all right in day or two.
 Bob Donovan, his backfeld mate, was harder hit. He suf- fered a laceration of the leg which required stitches to close the wound. Chuck, Avery, end; John Flanagan, tackle; and. Tony Mo- randos, center; also reported light hurts. The squad rested yesterday. no practice being held. Captain McEwan planned to rest the reg ulars, as after Saturdays game he gave them a holiday until to-day. Rain interfered with the planned workout of reserve material.

 Parade
By HENRY McLEMoRE

By HENRY McLEMORE (United Press Stan Correspondcnt)
 New York. Nov S.-(UP)-This was election day. and 1t found me bouncing back Jand forth on the sharpest two-pronged, fur-bearing dilemma you ever saw.
 We couldn't vote for Hoover be- cause our garage accommodates but one chicken, and we have no pot.
 We couldn't vote for Upshaw be- cause we don't still believe in Santa Claus.
 We couldn't vote for Roosevelt because we didn't register.
 We couldn't vote for Thomas be- cause he didn't register.
 We couldn't vote for Foster be- cause he didn't register with us.
 Still, we had to vote for sofne- body so we just threw in a ballot for Army as the best football team in these United States.
 (Ed Note: The curtain will be lowered ten minutes to allow the supporters of Pittsburg,. Colgate, Brown, Columbia, Tennessee, tAu- burn, U. S. C., U. c. l.. A, Michi- gan, Purdue and others to give of their cries of "hooooeyv.)
 And we don't blame the boys for crying .shooey', especially the Pittsburg boys. Pitt beat Army. We saw 'em do it. Yet we aren't convinced that the Cadets who kicked fair Harvard 46 to Satur- day are not the ball playingest babies in the country. To be hon. est about 1t, we think Pitt was lucky to beat Army. We believe that had Pitt met Army two weeks later the score would have been re- versed.
 take anything away from Pitt. The Panthers are a ball club. Any team with such gentlemen as Hell Ter, Skladany and Sebastian would have to be. Incidentally, this man Skladany, appears to be in so far as the better all-America selections are concerned.
 It doesn't matter what group you talk football withsooner or later the conversation drifts around to Brother Slxladany and his end play. The boys who saw him work against Notre Dame refuse to talk about anybody else. and threaten to pick him at both wings.
 But to get back to Army. The thing that made the Army team this season was the coming of age of Felix Pick Vidal. At the begin- ninf of the season Pick was the No. 2 quarferback, and nothjpe

MANHATTAN, (. (.
 ENCOUNTER TO BE
 ON AIR SATURDAY

New York, Nov S-City College brings it's 1882 football schedule to @ close to-day with the game against Manhattan College at the Polo Grounds. It will mark the eighth annual clash between the local rivals. The opening kick-off Is set for 2 p. m
 A crowd of 30,000 is expected to witness the Lavender and the Jas- pers strive to break the deadlock which exists in their gridiron se- ries, which started in 1925. Each team has won twice and three games have resulted in tie scores.
 Last year a strongly favored Manhattan eleven was held to a and the year before played 6-6 tie at the Lewisohn Stadium.
 Record FavOrs Manhattan
 Manhattan again enters the con- test a strong favorite, on the strength of splendid victory over Oglethorpe University in the Jas- pers' last start, and also because Coach Meehan's team held Cath ollie University to a 12-7 score, whereas c. c. N. Y. lost by 47-0 to the Flying Cardinals. City College was beaten, 46-0, by Providence College last Saturday.
 However, the Lavender can al- ways be counted upon to rise to great heights against Manhattan. The Jaspers are City Colleges foremost rivals. and a victory over the Riverdale eleven would atone for the lack of success in c. c. N. Y.'s earlier contests.
 Coach Bernie Bienstock rested his regulars against Providence, his substitutes to play most of the game, and he has his lineup ready for action.
 To Depend on Acrials
 Forward passes and laterals will be Lavender's main reliance for victory inasmuch. as City Colleges running attack is expected to make little headway.
 The Jaspers, on the other hand, are counting mainly upon their running attack, with Bill Fender gast, their star quarterback, as the spearhead. Pendergast scored all three of the Manhattan touch- downs in the Oglethorpe game, two or them Ou EuuC OL OVCA " Ss~N N~s
 In a preliminary contest, listed to start at noon, the Manhattan College 150-pound eleven will op. pose the 15O-pound intramural team of Rutgers University. This will mark hte first public game or the Jasper lightweights.
 The Manhattan-C. c. N. Y. game will be broadcast over the Colur1l- bia Broadcasting Systems WABC network and over Station WINS, 1t was announced yesterday.
 The WINS broadcast VIII begin at 1:30 with concert given by the bands of the two institutions. About 2 o'clock Ford Prick will begin his description of events on the gridiron. The Columbia ac- count will start at 2:30. Ted Hus- ing and Les Quailey being the an- nouncers.

|RINALDI RESTS
 CONWAY IN DUEL

Tn a special match rolled recent ly at the Wooster alleys the Street department team added the Tire men to their list of victims. 1t be- ing just a case of too much Rtnaldi. Several years ago Pete, who losses them down from the portside, was inst about in class all by himself as a top notcher. Time rolled py and Pete was content with bowling d little now and then until he finally wound up with the Street Singers.
 Freddie Kelley who handles the reins of the Streetmen signed Pete lIp once with the result that the Cityites won the Benedict Street league last season and are favor- ties to duplicate that feat. A ringer in the person of Leo Specs" Con- way was pitted against Rinaldi the other evening. but Pete, didn't seem bothered and toppled the naples for 154 in his first game and for 39S for three while con way would up with a SO9.
 Al Demenski made gallant eI- fort to save the match hitting 326, OuE lll6 lAdLC6 410AAJ VohStS WIZ" < Frankie Harmon didn't help him with 3O2 and 298, respectively.
 George Dietz, who sends out the sad news for Al every month was the losers best bet. His double strike in the closing stages of the second game almost spelled defeat for the Street crew. George con- tributed a neat 345 for his eve ning's efforts. Harry Mathieu with 296. Bill Sullivan with 291, Fran kie Kerner with BIO and Freddie Kelley with 312 took very little of the burden off their team-mate Rinaldi but enough to win the match by 36 pins. Al brought about dozen of his girl rooters along with him and they made things lively from the start to the finish (Take bow girls). At press time Murray Carter representing the Street Dept team and Al De- menski were still in huddle wrangling over a return match.
