 Suspension Follows Due to Exceptional Causes

said that Fortier has been a con- scientious and loyal worker with a clean record hitherto. He point ed out that if sentence were not suspended Fortier would lose his job for the company would have to hire someone else for this work.
 Attorney Talbot pointed out the company thought enough of For tier to assist the father to pay the fine for his son. Judge Tolles said it would be available to have For tier stay III Jail most of today so he will have spent two days in jail.
 After a plea by Prosecuting At torney Martin Caine that auto dri- vers be warned not to take chances during the month of August, Judge Tolles fined Josa Caneira, 20, of Pond street $25 and costs of $13.66 on reckless driving count.
 He gave him a suspended 30 day jail sentence and told him that if he did not pay up the fine and damages the suspension might be lifted. Caneira admitted he was going about 35 miles an hour trav- cling south on North Main street. and his car ,skidded after hitting the trolley tracks, plunged to the left and struck a parked car owned by Avery Stoddard of Westport. Mrs Stoddards, wife was seated with a Mrs Harding in the auto, and was injured, receiving a injury on the head, which, she said, was treated by pr. Charles S. Kennedy.
 MT Stoddard was in the Peer less laundry tsthe time.
 The accident occurred at $50 yesterday morning. Officer Tim othy Reardon who made the ar rest, said Caneira had admitted crashing into the Stoddard ma chine. Attorney Caine said the po- lice department and the court is now viewing not with pleasant an- ticipation the start of the month of August, "the Jonah month" as far as accidents on North Main street go. He urged the judge to warn against the dangers of trav- cling while going to fast or while driving when drunk.
 However he said Caneira had agreed to pay damages to the Stod- dard car and was helping fix the car yesterday at local garage. Caneira said he supports his father, mother and brother in Portugal.

Meeting Soon
 The first meeting of the recently appointed committee to have charge of the democratic outing to be held during August is expected to be held the latter part of this week, it was learned today. Chair man Charles Daly will set the date of the meeting. At the first meet ing a definite time and place will be determined upon, it is expected. Linden park will probably be the site of the affair.
 Warden John Sheridan last night announced the names of the com- mittee members. Besides Chair man Daly, who is borough clerk. There is Fire Chief Milton Calvin as secretary of the committee, Street Superintendent James Bro phy as treasurer, Building 1nspec- tor Andrew Bentley, Harold Mur- tha, Burgesses Leo Brophy, Victor Burkus and Joseph Dinnepy.
 Also on the committee are mem bers of the welfare board, Patrick Scully, Richard Parkinson and Richard Durkin. There are also Tony and Rocco Mariana and Tax Collector James Fitzgerald
 Despite this imposing array of officials, Warden Sheridan an- nounced that additional members may be added.
 Vendors to be Hit
 Vendors from out of town will be hit by the new borough ordin- ances which is being prepared for submission to the August meeting next Tuesday of the board of war den and burgesses, it was learned to-day.
 It will be recalled that at the last meeting of the borough board, Burgess Victor Burkus protested itinerant peddlers coming here and taking much trade away from Naugatuck merchants. He claimed many fruit, vegetable and meat sellers have no permits for this here.
 The warden has discussed the matter with Borough Attorney Martin E. Gormley and it is ex- pected more teeth in the local ordinance in connection with this will be provided, in order to cor rect the existing situation.
 Warden Sheridan said today this was something which has been needed here for some time and expressed himself heartily in favor of it.
 Big Check Received
 The check of the Malleable Iron company, which is the second largest industrial check in the borough for property taxes. came into Tax Collector James Fitzger- aid to-day, completing the payment of large taxes. Other checks from such concerns as the J. Il. Whittemore Co which amounts to more than $7,0O0, of the Risdon company about $3,000 and for payment for the Neary building tax, $2.457 have been received late ly by the collector.
 The general collection seems to be a trifle better than last year at present at least, MT Fitzgerald said to-day. But he did not have definite figures available yet. Be- cause of the fact that there is small automobile property tax on the December tax payment, many persons have been paying both July and December taxes. How ever. there are still many more who have not paid their auto taxes.
 He will be in his office tonight

No Meeting Held

A town committee meeting had been reported scheduled for last night. but Chairman Frank Green and Hugh Burns were out of town on business so no meeting was held. One is expected to be held soon. The call for democratic caucuses will be decided upon then, and the dates of the caucusses set.
 Seven delegates from each ward will be chosen and they will meet in the town convention to pick nominees. It is possible there may soon be a surprising development in regard to the senatorial nomina- ton from the fourteenth district CT which Naugatuck is a member.
 There may be two or more as- pirants for other local offices to be decided at the fall election also. Despite these approaching clouds which might bring thunder show CTS into the democratic camp, the party is going along serenely enough now. The spirit of conti- denee in Warden Sheridan is still strong.

Naugatuck, July 31 - Interest among Naugatuck democratic poli- ticians in the preparations for the fall election here is increasing. More and more aspirants for the nomination as state representative are appearing. Some of those mentioned have withdrawn but as soon as they do so, the names ut others are mentioned, with or with out their consent.
 The latest reports have 1t that Attorney Henry Freeman, secre- tary of the board of education, would not be at all averse to get ting the nomination. Attorney Freeman is a member of the third ward. It seems quite certain Rep resentative William McDermott will seek renomination, despite a recent statement of his he is con sidering" running again.
 The name of another third warder is being prominently men tioned in this connection. It is Thomas Reilly of Curtiss street, former street superintendent. Whether MT Reilly is out for it or not could not be learned today, but his name has been mentioned in political circles in regard to it.
 The first ward will support Rich ard Durkin. 1t is claimed by q prominent first ward politician. MT Durkin is first ward committeeman and a member of the welfare board. Former Burgess Maurice Anenberg is planning a strong battle for the nomination. He is a member of the second ward.
 It is believed by the politicians i'll health will prevent Representa- tive Michael Clancy of the second ward from again seeking the post.

So, whenever I heard combinations Of notes that specially pleased me, l jotted them down on the backs Of menu cards.
