The following statement is issued by the executive committee of the Waterbury Mutual Aid Fund, Inc, as a result of it's meeting on Mon- day afternoon with a group of com- munists:
 "When the committee agreed to meet with representatives of the Unemployed Council" the state ment read. it was already known that this group was communistic. but despite this fact the meeting was held in the interest of fair play.
 '"The demands made by the spokesman for the so-called Un- employed Council showed definitely that this element was more inter- ested in having it's demands re- fused than 1t was in helping the bonafide unemployed of our com munity.
 "With one exception the de mandS' were those which commun ist organizations have been pre- senting throughout the country in the hope of creating disccntent and unrest The unreasonableness of the demands invariably insures their being denied in every instance, and thereby provide material for fur ther agitation and communist pro- test. The demand that this com mittee disband is only display of originality. and the insistance oi the radical spokesman that the un- employed be thrown upon their own resources is evidence conclus- i've that the welfare of the unem- ployed is not the concern of these

The StratfOrd
 Bond Question
Issue BOug h t By R. F. Griggs Co. and Hart=
 ford Concern

Reports that Councilman Everett B. Sniffens plan for the appoint ment of a commission of three to operate the Stratford town govern ment for period of two years had injured the towns credit and would make it difficult to sell the $100,000 unemployment bond is- sue proved unfounded yesterday when Director of Finance William H. Shea of Stratford announced the awarding of the issue to Waterbury and Hartford concerns.
 The bonds were sold jointly to the R. F. Griggs company of this city and Mckinney of Hartford at par. The bonds will carry cou- pon bearing four and three quar- ters per cent interest. This issue bears less interest than the last issue of 1892.

It would be illegal, in the opin- ion of Corporation Counsel Charles $. O'Connor. to defer the pay ments of assessments for the lay out and grade of Fox street until 1886, and so the board of public works at its regular meeting at the city hall last night voted to deny the petition of the property owners of that street who sought a three-year postponement on the payment.
 Corporation Counsel O'Connor's letter read at last nights meeting is as follows: ..> ' ... = "Honorahle Board of Public
 Works.
 "Gentlemen-Yo request for an opinion as to the legality of extending the time to- property owners on assessments for the lay out and grade of Fox street to March 6, 1936. has been received.
 ''I wish to advise your honorable board that this cannot be done be- cause the charter of the City of Waterbury provides that where as- sessments have not been paid, liens for the same must be filed within 90 days after completion Of the work.
 "Very truly yours,
 "CHARLES s. O'CONNOR."
 Fox street property owners att tended 8 meeting of the board of works two weeks ago and asked the board to extend the time three years due to the press of econom- ic conditions at this time. Mayor Hayes informed them that the mat ter would be referred to the cor poration counsel for an opinion as to whether it would be legal.

WARRINGTON BACK, HEADS CITY GARAGE
SEASON OF LENT
 OPENED TO-DAY
Blessing and Distribution
 of Ashes in Churches of City
MANY ATTENDED CHURCH

Today, Ash Wednesday, marked the opening of the season of Lent. At all the Catholic churches of the city there were special devetions at the morning mass. Before mass the ashes were blessed and follow ing was held the ceremony of the distributing of the ashes which will be held in the churches again to- night. Many churches will also have Lenten sermons tonight which will be repeated once a week in some of the churches according to announcement.
 The morning was a particularly fine one, the wind somewhat sub sided from the gale proportions of last night, which gave promise of March 1st coming in like lion. Large crowds were about early this morning attending mass. Services for the season will be according to the different Catholic and Pro- testant church announcements.
 The Episcopal churches will hold their regular Ash Wednesday ser vices. Other services for different days of the week at St Johns, Trinity, All Souls, the First Luth- eran, First Baptist and other Pro- testant churches will have reg ular Lenten schedule.
 An appreciable falling off in the social activities which have not been any too active this season will be noted. The season is one in which practically everyone endeav- ors to practise some modification or self-sacrifice. An added need of attention to spiritual duties is ad- vocated more than ever this year. Lenten regulations were read Sunday in all the churches of the city, including the rules of fast and abstinence. Lent ends official ly, Holy Saturday at noon, April IS.

Nearly two months ago he was ordered to report for duty. He stated that he was un- able to do so as his physician had advised him not to attempt to work under conditions such as ex- isted at the city yard. While the commissioners argued about his case Lieutenant Warrington was ex- amined by Dr E. E. Fitzpatrick fire and police surgeon, Dr Edward H. Kirschbaum, medical examiner and Dr John J. Egan, former fire and police surgeon. All three found evidence of disability which gave the officer an excuse or basis for his claim of being in- capacitated. Whe, he failed to re- port for duty about seven weeks ago his name was removed from the payroll of the police depart ment,

The difference of opinion as to the physical condition of Lieuten- ant Arthur Warrington has appar- ently been satisfactorily settled Both sides being "off side" in their arguments the matter was adjust ed today by the return to duty of Lieutenant Warrington. He gains several points evidently, but no mention was made of them, official ly. He was not obliged to report to Io the city yards on Benedict street but on the contrary has been placed in charge of the municipal garage adjoining police hcadquar- ters and in which the motor patrol fleet is anchored when not in serv. ice. That the officer will receive his back salary, covering a period of seven weeks, is accepted as grant, ed. He has been off duty for over five months.
 The controversy between Lieut. enant Warrington and members of the board of police comm ssioners was an unnecessary "fare-up." The

SEDCWICK GUARDS WILL MEET TONIGHT
To Discuss Plans For Trip to Washington on
 Saturday
MUST PAY OWN BILLS

Officers of the Sedgwick Guards, uniformed outfit of the local Ma tional Guard companies, have re- quested that all members who wish to take part in the presidential inaugural parade at the nations capitol on Saturday to be at the armory at 7:3O o'clock tonight when plans for attendance will be discussed.
 The unit has been invited to take part in the parade but the biggest problem will be the raising of funds with which to make the trip. The general assembly has failed to act on a bill providing an ap- propriation to take care of the ex- penses of the Guards on the trip. Funds of the unit will not permit the taking of the whole company. It was different when the boys were headed for overseas during the World war.
