The Waterbury Democrat., 1932-04-30
NAUCATUCK Three Tickets Go
 On Voting Machines
Issue to Be Decided Monday -Wfittemore Claims
 Democratic Administration Was Extravagant

While old timers do not believe the ticket will be successful, pointing out that past history reveals that third party tickets have not been successful locally, yet the party may garner enough votes to throw out of the running either of the other two candidates.
 Warden Green has always been very popular with the independent voters and has as general rule had their support in all of his cam paigns. There is nothing at the present timeto indicate that this will not be the case on Monday.
 Those backing the third party are fighters and workers and they have been going every minute since their ticket was nominated carrying their messages to the very homes of the voters. a No predictions are being made by independents but it would be-. no surprise to some if at least some of the candidates came through with victory.
 Voteln All Three Wards
 The voting will take place in all thre wards, the polls opening at g o'clock standard time which will be 10 o'clock d.s.t. and closing at
 5 standard time. The first ward voting places will be in the borough court room, the second in the le- zion roms in the Odd Fellows and the third in the Union City fire house.
 In addition to voting for town and borough officers, the freemen will also vote on three proposad amendments to the state constitu- tion. Two of these deal with the
 right of qualified voters of the
 state who are absent form a city
 or town of which they are residents or who are unable because of sick
 ness rphysical disa bility to ap- pear at the polling places to allow
 the general assembly to provide by law for their voting. The other deals with the authorization of warden and borough treasurer to borrow in anticipation of taxes to | be collected up to sum of not to
 exceed $300,0O0 and to issue nego-
 tiatiable notes bearing interest not | to exceed six per cent per annum. Whittcmore Raps Democrats Ex-Warden Harris Whittemore. Jr., tok the past democratic ad-
 ministrations. to task fast night at
 a rally conducted in Christoforo
 Columbo hall for what he termed extravaganza in the administration of affairs.
 He accused the democratic ad- 1 ministrations of Warden M. J.
 Langford and Warden Green of in- | creasing the borough debt to two dollars for every one that the re- publican administrations had saved.
 He stated that dufing three of the four administrations of republican rule the borough indebtedness had been decreased by $65.000, while the democrats had increased the interest bearing debt by $130.000. The speaker said that Werden
 Green had advocated economy but
 had not practiced it. MT Whitte- ! more spoke on the necessity of
 balancing the budget. This was a simple matter he stated as the ad-
 ministration should not expend more than it's income. If the re- ceipts from taxes are not as large ! as estimated, then the expenditures
 should be cut correspondingly. If elected, he said he would be quided by the recommendations of the freemen as to what was to be spent. If the appropriation for any one department was exceeded he would then go before the freemen and re-
 quest an additional sum. If the freemen saw fit not to grant it.. then on more work would be done. The borough's tax rate should be kept down. He said the United States Rubber company was the backbone of Naugatuck's industries.
 The concern is one of the largest tax payers, this company as we'll as other concerns should be protected by a curtailment of municipal eX- l travagances. A reduction in the tax rate means that the borough is more sure of this company remain ing here and being satisfied. Other speakers were Francis O'Connor,
 candidate for treasurer, N. Hadley
 Cox, candidate for tax collector, republican town committee, Char
 les Acquavia. candidate for select
 man and former supt of charities. Herbert Johnson. Louis De Carlo presided as chairman of the rally.
