 Postpone Action
 Because the appropriation for stron1 sewer work Is overexpendcd, Warden Sheridan suggested the [,proJect be- laid aside for further consid deratipn, One additional pro- ject at least is necessary. before the board meets again to take care of the TO men on the FEHA, MT Groh said This was besides the High street job.
 So the board accepted Dunn ave. snue as a street, and approved ii as an EZRA project 1t will be -widened and graded. . There will be no cost to the town for mater. ials, there will be 1$1,OOO cost for equipment and FERA will pay $6.000 for labor.
 | It was decided to have the EZRA go ahead with a project to build a large catch water basin on the west side of Elm street in an ef- fort to correct a condition there which allows water to shoot from point halfway between the Chem icaf company and Spencer street down on the Chemical company property. A grade change had been suggested there some time ago but this would be too expen- sive now, Mir Beardsiey said. Un- der the present project there will be no cost to the town as the U. 5. Rubber company will pay the materials expense. It is not cer- tain it will correct the condition but it won't be money wasted, the engineer stated.
 The Jones road, Johnson and High street projects the South Main street, the Hunters Mountain and Pond street projects will be finished this week. the. warden said. These are all EZRA jobs. Assessments Approved
 Assessments for sidewalks and gutters on Hoadley and High streets were approved by the board.
 It ordered grade lines establish. ed near the property of Charles Jones on Field street. MT Jones requested this. A storm sewer con- dition on lower High street near the Valentine property was refer red to the street committee and the borough engineer for investi- gation. A report will be made at the next meeting.
 George Gail. of Spring street, who is now employed one day a week by the EZRA, made a protest to the board about having to work on the North Spring street sanitary sewer project and turn in all his wages to pay the assessment he owes on this property. He claims he has to support a family of seven and said he should get pay for two of the four days he would work to help pay for the food needs of his family. He said he knows of a single man working for the EZRA who got three days work and married man who got one days work. It is two years and half since he drew a steady weeks pay, he said. He pointed out if he works for the street department he automatically loses the day he now works for the EZRA.
 Warden Sheridan refused his re- quest. stating that there are three others in the family contributing to it's support. Calls budgetry needs have been provided for by expert social workers, he said.
 He said no exception could be made in this case. He urged Gail to present his case before the well fare board which met later in the evening.
 "All information concerning your case will be available there" the warden said MT Gail did not at- tend this meeting. Burgess Victor Burkus supported MT Gail in his plea.
