NAUCATUCK l New Police Beats
 Being Criticized
Board May Be Asked to Make Change-Three Year
 Old Boy Is Hit By Auto

There Is considerable speculation among the citizens of the borough as to whether the board of warden and burgesses at their monthly meeting on Tuesday night will make any changes In the present working schedule of patrolmen.
 Since the cnange to the three eight hour shifts about 6 week ago there has been much kicking go- ing on among citizens especially relative to the present protection given at points of heavy traffic com pared to the protection given under the Tod system.
 This iy especially true at Main and Maple streets which is at sev- cral periods of the day without "a traffic officer, this work being left to the automatic traffice signal. The com plaint Is registered against the new system by pedestrains who com plain that the walk light signal Is not left on long enough to ale low them to cross tn eintersection. The walk light Is operated on a i've second schedule. It cannot be changed as the present control a1- lows only five seconds for the walk sign to be on. When q nofficer was stationed continually in the booth he operated the walk signal by hand and 1t was not changed until he saw that al pedestrians had crossed safely. Now several people have started to cross the intersec- ton to be caught midway with the light change. To remedy this con- dition 1t will be necessary to either change the walk signal control so that 1t will automatically stay on q longer period or else have an officer stationed in the booth at all times to regulate the light.
 The change over in the schedule of the police was made in the in- terest of economy when the police budget was cut about $5000 under that of last year. By making the three shifts 1t did away with the necessity of having supernuweary officers do duty In the evening from 6 to o'clock.
 Auto Strikes Y0ungster
 Robert Tuohey, three-year-old son of Mir and Mrs Harold Tuohey of Spring stret was struck by an automobile operated by Chester Karbowicz of school street, Union City, yesterday afternoon at about 6 o'clock. The youngster was treated by Dr Walter I. Baker and later taken to St Mary's hospital in Waterbury. It is not believed that the boys injuries are serious as no bones apeared to be broken. He suffered decorations on the face and head. It was stated that the little fellow ran across the street in front of the car and the driver could not avoid striking. him.
 Real Estate TransactiOns
 Two more real estate transfers were recorded yesterday afternoon. For some time real estate activities in the borough have been dormant but the two sales recorded make three for this week. The tow filed for record are the sale of house and lot situated on German street from John and Frances hcpp t0 Samuel and Anna Rizzuti and the sale of house and eleven acres of land situated on Andrew noun tain by Leonard Marinaccio to Anna Zelba.

 Selectman William Eustice has q large force of men engaged in getting the sand ready along the rural roads 70 that the oil may be spread on them. Roads that have received the first coating will re-. ceive their second coating. start. ing early next week.

Ames, Dewey and Roosevelt avenues and Far- view street. At the present time the town teams are carting gravel to the Todd Hollow road and in q short time there will be placed on that road q coating of gravel after which 1t will be shaped up and oiled.
 Upon the completion of the oll- Ing of the roads this year. Select man EustIce expects to have at least 35 miles of the rural roads oiled. The oiling of the Todd Hol- low and 'Greystone roads means that two good roads leading to the Thomaston- W Waterbury state high way will now pass through the southern part of this town and will help considerably to eliminate the steep Plymouth hill.

Good Work by the Weather

When We think of the United States
Weather Bureau, most of us simply
think of an organization which con-
trives somehow to get forecast of
tomorrow's weather on the front page
of the daily paper. We seldom real
ize that the bureaus work can save
many human lives, on occasion.
A good example of the fine work
the bureau can do was provided in
connection with the recent hurricane
that dashed the coast of Texas.
On Aug. 10, at $50 a. M, the
weather bureau issued warnings that
tropical disturbance of increasing
intensity" had arisen in the gulf and
was moving in the general direction
of Galveston.
The storm did not strike until
night. Because of the warning, Gal
weston and many adjacent places had
been able to prepare for it: and many
people who would have been killed if
the storm had come unexpectedly.
were able to save their lives.
