The Waterbury Democrat., 1932-07-12

Thirty-two more petitions for abatement and postponement of taxes were referred to the commit
 tee on abatements.
 The board of works was author
 ized to hold hearings for sewers in Sheffield street, Thomaston ave- nue and Haase street. The works board reported the grading com pleted on Beecher avenue, Crosby street, Hillview avenue, Kenilworth street, Laval street, Loneoak ave- nue, Robert street, Seymour street, Sheldon street, Sterling street, York street, Wyman street, Robin son street and Ives street. The assessments were ordered collected by the tax collecotr.
 Authority was given for the con- struction of sewers in Watertown avenue, at a cost of $4.950, and in Park terrace, at a cost of $4,100.
 Aldermen George R. Guilfoile, Ernest P. Belval and Joseph Will helm were named a committee to consider the petition of the East Mountain school district for per- mission to consolidate with the sec- ond taxation district.
 Roy Freter, representing the dis trict, spoke in it's favor before the board and said that the assets of the district are about five times greater than the debts. The dis trict wants the city to assume the debts in addition to taking over the assets. Attorney Joseph Bergin. republican member of the board, asked MT Freter why he wanted to have the district come in so badly in view of the excellent financial condition described. Mir Freter said that this is due to the new charter forcing the district to pay $150 for each pupil attending local high schools from the district. This, would eat up all the assets, MT Freter said. Alderman Charles Schmidt, g. O. p. leader. stated that he approved of the con- plan.
 Works Commissioner James Phelan, Representative Daniel J. Mahaney and Alderman John Ben dler. all from the Brooklyn district, asked that the athletes of that sec tion be allowed to use the showers in the Duggan and Barnard schools. The matter was referred to the school board with recommends tion for favorable action on C mo- tion by Alderman c. Arthur Du- Bois, which was seconded by Alderman Schmidt. A petition bearing 25 names was filed to sup port the request.

Abate Taxes,
 Others Delayed
Aldermen Authorize Improvements Claims Ordered
 Paid

Authority for considerable pub- lie improvements was given, col- lection of $5,24O in taxes was or- dered postponed, $1,7s0 in taxes were abated and a long series of claims against the city approved last night at the regular monthly meeting of the aldermen. In the case of the $1.790 in taxes stricken off the books this action was be- cause those liable are too poor to pay. The postponement of the col lection of the $5,24O in taxes was authorized because those owing the money are at the present financial ly embarrassed.
 As for the claims against the city, they were made for various reasons. In addition to approving long list of the claims the board, upon the recommendation of the committee on law, rejected several others. The claims ordered paid were as follows: Joseph Moore, $75, damages to auto; Patrick Lee, $15o; Bessie Levits, $100; Eva Cohn, $50; Mrs Joseph Koniska, $1O0; Paul Dwyer. $100; Margaret Bowes, $500; Mrs Mary Nevins, S175; Julia Cooley, $75; J. W. Saw age, damage to auto, $2.5O; Carl Lynch, damage to auto, $10; Fred Palomba, damage to property by blasting for water pipe on Coniston avenue, $8S; William Quinlan, $50; George Gabriel, $250; Mary Dowl- ing. $100; Edith Stanley, $1S9; Lawrence D'Ambrosia $75; James Kilmartin, $200; Thomas Aston, damage to auto, $5.3O; Loretta Sweetman, $230; S. DiNigro, $15O; Lena DiCena, $250; Arthur Clark, S200; George Tucker, damage to auto. $23; Mrs D. Crochetta, $150; Michael Moria, $150; S. A. Coria. personal injury due to a spark from steam shovel $10; William Sullivan, damage to auto, $25; Mrs Florence Sewell, $200.
 The cases above bearing no ex- planation are for falls on side- walks. Claims for damages were received last night from Mrs Thomas Gilhooley, Joseph Paznetti, Carol B. Knibbs and Michael F. Burns and were referred to the committee on law.
 Fifteen personal tax bills, amounting to $2, each, were order ed abated. In most of the cases duplicate payment had been made and in the others those receiving the bills were exempt by law and therefore, not liable.
 The board also voted to abate the interest on a tax bill several years old held against P. J. Mo- Donald, providing he pays the face of the bill in 30 days. It was ex- plained that all MT McDonald's other bills are paid and that the reason he did not pay the old bill was because he was under the im- precision that it had been paid al- ready.
 Petitions for lights on Arnold and Radcliffe streets. for layouts on McNamara street and Burr street and for sewers on East Aurora and Temple streets were referred to the board of works.

was unopposed for President in 1888 and in 1892 He

Silent Auctions

Silent Auctions
New Yok .4as caught on to an idea
that has been extensively used tor
wears by many stores in other parts OF
the country. The idea is nothing else
but a price carried over set of books,
or other article of some value. Each
day, when the shop opens, the price
is marked down 81 until it gets so
low that somebody goes in and buys
the article.
1t has been labeled "silent auction"
by the shopkeepers. 1t certainly moves
goods, whether it makes money for the
owner or not.
A Hobo's Paradise
AS soon as the ground had been
cleared for the new Radio City, or
whatever the name is going to be of
Rockefeller's new development in the
heart of this city, numerous hobos
without a place to sleep swarmed OF
the open space.
They found plenty of scraps of wood
with which to build fires, both to keep
warm at and to cook their "slum," J"
and were undisturbed for several
weeks, or until the structural steel
began to arrive for the new buildings.
Then they were ousted.
Their temporary home was prob
ably the most expensive site on which
tramps were ever allowed to camp.
Even the police let them alone, as it
was not a public park.
New Form of Theft
If one attempts to enter one of the
big Office buildings at night some guard
is always to be found blocking the way.
The other day we asked one of these
men why the building was so strict
in letting people in outside of business
hours. We pointed out that it would
be almost impossible for a visitor to
carry off anything of much value.

ATTACK CHARGE
DISMISSED

Charges of criminal attack on
the 11-year-old daughter of a
neighbor in East Riverdale, Md,
against Isadore Domingo, 27-year-
old Filipino, were dismissed in
Hyattsville Police Court today.
Judge j. Chew Sheriff deciding
there was not sufficient evidence
to hold him for action by the
Prince Georges grand jury.
The hearing today was con-
tinued from last Wednesday at
the request of States Attorney
Alan Bowie. who asked that he be
given time to obtain additional
evidence. The child's parents,
who testified week ago, we're not
recalled to the stand today.
Bowie said, however, that the
case is still subject to investiga-
tion and that ahe had not decided
whether he would lay the facts
before the grand jury until he
had gone into it further.
