 The plan, however, will not be. come a reality until 1t is ratified by sufficient nubmer of Protes- tant churches to make the idea workable. The bylaws adopted al the meeting pointed out that the matching the Catholic churches of Waterbury in their efficiency and economy, is to advance the moral and spiritual welfare of the com munity through the mutual opera tion of all Protestant churches.
 Rev pr James E. Gregg of the First church quoted figures show ing that there are 80 Protestant churches in Waterbury serving a total of 10000 members while, on the other hand, the 16 Roman Catholic churches here serve 70,- 900 communicants.
 It is expected that within a month votes on the plan will have been taken in all the local Protes- tant churches. An executive com mittee of 25 clergy and laymen was appointed at last nights ses- sion and thIs Dody was empowered to choose the officers of the coun- cil for the first year.
