Painters Object To
 Board Proposal

 AlrnshOuse- Local Priest Sails Soon for Canada

Objection is being made by the mem bers of the local painters union to the suggestion of the board of charities made last Monday night at their meeting relative to the painting of the borough alms- house.
 When the question of painting the borough building was discussed by the board it was suggested that the work be done by hiring unem- ployed men and have them work under the supervision of master painter.
 It was believed that the borough could save a considerable sum by having the work done in this man. ner. The matter was referred to the committee on the borough alms- house.
 The members of the local paint era paper hangers and decorators union take exception to the propos, ed plan and in letter submitted by A. c. Sierakowski, business agent of Local No AIS, Painters, Paper Hangers and Decorators or America it is charged that the board of charities in taking such aoAion is ont living up to a vote passed some years ago to the eI- feet that bids should be called Tor when work of this type IS 10 pc done. giving painters of the DOT ougln a chance to bid on said work.
 The letter states that the paint ars are not looking for charity but as citizens and taxpayers or Naus- atuck demand a square deal.
 The letter of Business Agent cysA =. p~~ ~xyoIyl afafoa.
 s.At the last meeting of the Board of Charities it was practically vot- ed to have the borough almshouse painted without advertising Tor bids for said work.
 if the board will look up their records they will find that pids ahould be called for giving painters of Naugatuck chance to Did on
 The painters are not looking for charity. but as citizens and taxpay- ers of Naugatuck do demand square deal which has not been riyen them for the last four years.

 It is expected that the local will also forward this letter to the bor- oukh board.
