Town Farm No Jail
 Says Frank w. Eaton
Nauagatuck Public Welfare Board Member Says BOr-
 Ough Court Has No Right to Send Man There

According to the record of Bor ough Clerk E. ]. Lingenheld wh, takes the minutes of the welfar, boards meetings, the lease was t' have been at the monthly rate O $40 but when the lease was SC cured, to learn just when it ex | pired, 1t was seen that in the lease q S35 rate per month was required Warden Whlttemore said h' thought 1t was for a $40 rate bu admitted t fas his signature or l the lease which set the rate a $35. He seemed much surprised by the difference in rates. MT An derson has been paying $35. However the board voted tt have the warden confer with An derson relative to renewal of tho lease and to give the warden au. | thority to renew such a lease, with an option for renewal for one year.
 Anderson Rcappointed When asked if there were any other candidates for the superin- tendency by Mir Parkingson, War den Whittemore said that year ago one man told him he heard MT Anderson wanted to give up this job at the town farm, and this ap- plicant said he would like to be considered if this were true. Ac- cording to MT Whittemore, MT An derson had no desire to quite un- less asked to.
 The board reappointed Mir An derson for another year.
 On the suggestion of MT Eaton, the board voted that the financial committee consult with Supt Cox and prepare q tentative budget for the next fiscal years which will be submitted to the welfare board at it's April meeting. This will be on April 9.
 No Major Credits
 No major credits are expected during the final months although there are some minor ones oi which one is a state credit for aliens. Supt Cox said. The appro- priation was $75,000 and expendi- lures and encumbrances have amounted to $93,210.31 but there was $21,442.50 in unappropriated revenue which leaves $3,223.19.
 Total expenditures for February were $3,961.40 so there is a chance the department, with the help o1 the minor credits, may keep within it's budget this month, a thing al. most unheard of in recent years by the welfare department as it con cerns the whole year.
 Expenses thus far are itemizet as follows: Labor, $42,973.60; out. side poor, $23,935.47; town farm s7.444.08; overhead, $6,171.34 hospitals, $6,911.27; children il homes, $5,774.55. Only some $31 was received in credits for Feb. ruary, 1t was revealed by study of the report.
 Much Wood Available
 There is q large supply of wood at the town farm now, Supt Coz said. This should come in handy in supplying fuel, he added. About 60 cords have been sawed anJ some of the wood is yet to be sawed. The borough has been fortunate enough to receive fine cooperation from the state forestry department and as result there is much wood on High Rock aval- able. This will supplement the supply at the town farm.
 Supt Cox said the government food has been big help to the borough needy, declaring that be- tween 175 and 225 persons applied each week for it. It is distributed on Wednesdays at the former Chamber of Commerce building of Church street.
 Food Distributed
 MT Cox listed the amount oi food distributed thus far as fol lows: Dried beef. 1870 lbs; eggs 1,110 dozen; butter, 2,773 lbs; pork, 12,790 pounds; oranges. 1S0 dozen; wheat cereal. 600 pounds.
 Painting at the town farm by CWA men included painting ofthe dining room, the hall, the bath rooms, and the dining table and other furniture. It is hoped to paint the kitchen and the dining room and living room where the Andersons live. A new door Is be. ing put in at the police station, q new closet has been installed by CWA workers in the welfare de. partment office and will be uset for storage and as is evident much of the interior of the town hall Ina. been painted.
 It is hoped the second coat o paint on the exterior of the build ing will be completed soon. Bat feather has delayed this for som' time, Supt Cox stated. Some cleo trical work in the town hall ii planned.
 Conversation with MT McCarth, and the employment office of tn U. s. k. Co, shows that they vii consider the men laid off by tn CWA, and that there is a poss. bil ity that many of the able bodied men will be employed by them il the early part of April. A list 0 all men taken off the CWA work ing lists, has been sent to this of fee. Investigations and welfare worl has been taken up with Mir Coz At the same time the work of tn municipal employment office Ina been automatically taken care of and people placed.
