 asked Warden Sheridan. Lively Exchange | Warden Sheridan complained of the lack of cooperation between
 the EZRA here and the adminis- tratoin and MT Whittemore said:
 you mean between the adminis-
 tration and the EZRA" Mir Whit
 temore said he was proud of the
 fact that the EZRA here has com-
 exceeded any of it's quotas.
 .'Last year trucks were hired,"
 said the warden. We have not
 the money to do that this year"
 MT Bloom said in his opinion the Jones road and Bethany airport l projects were the most important.
 All must be finished quickly or
 we will have more trouble, ne warned. Warden Sheridan said he didn't
 see how Bloom believed the air. port project ought to be finished,
 saying the road is not the only
 outlet from Beacon Falls to Beth- any. Miss Eleanor Little, state
 EZRA head, told him that she
 thought this project might be
 stopped soon, he said. When it is
 stopped, your problem will be fsolved, so let's work on it until 1t is,

 self well informed on the street
 department matters, reiterating
 time and again, however, that if
 he had been told 8 discussion on
 trucks might come up he would
 have had Supt Brophy present. When discussing trucks he said the department last Friday off, fered a truck to the EZRA to use for carrying stone but it was re- | fused. "Yes, because the EZRA work for that week had been done,' said Mir Whittemore. Warden Sheridan said there were Is men working on the Jones road project that day who might have been used on this truck. Shot at Groh The only apparent move aimed
 at Chris Groh he made was a
 rather subtle one. There was a
 ing work for the EZRA on some | projects. MT Whittemore pointed
 to MT Bloom but MT Groh said
 as he could be blamed for some | projects, he might as well be
 blamed for them all.
 What does Vic Anderson do.
 Doesn't he do the engineering
 york; asked the warden. MT Whittemore replied he does more
 outside work than office plan- | ming. It is believed this is part of a Warden Sheridan's campaign to show MT Gron's job is not neces- sary.
 The committee seemed to feel
 the EZRA may have bitten off | more than it can chew" This is
 because of the shortage of trucks. It was decided it would be better
 to finish up the shorter jobs such as Johnson street and Wooster street. The first named Is ex- pected to take about one week and the second two weeks. This is with two trucks working and 6 double three day shift of EZRA
 workers. That is, work will be go l ing on six days week. After that it would be advisable
 to get EZRA jobs which will re- quire a minimum of town equ'p-
 ment, the committee felt. White Collar Work Several more projects are in the
 works. The white collar work has
 been approved by Hartford, MI Whittemore announced. ' Five I rIA fn | males will be used on the job of | helping the board of assessors, 10 | workers, five males, five females,
 will be used on the block and
 house numbering system. This will | be of benefit to the assessors and borough engineer in keeping their charts straight as far as house | numbers are concerned. It will necessitate men working on the outside checking on hous- es and women working on clerical | work inside. Then five more per-
 sons, three female and two male,S | will be used on the index of vital statistics. Applicants are being | investigated now and action with | in a week or 10 days is expected. Besides this the EZRA here has
 in mind a project of repairing the | fire alarm, and police signal sys- tems here. This would be for electricians. Apparently there l was some difference of opinion as | to this MT Whittmore thought | the expense of this project to the
 town would be quite small while
 Mir Bloom said it would cost Nau-
 gatuck $500.
 Discussion of this and also of a | A%a tv.fv | lection on High street was delayed
 until next Monday afternoon at o'clock when the committee will still meet.
