scully for Shea

Scully for Shea
 Matt Scully, Union City politic- ian, today denied report he would support the Green-Brophy faction. T am for Judge Shea, he said, through thick and thin" Pol iticians were still trying in the third ward to prevail on Thomas Grant, senatorial candidate, to withdraw a ticket he may enter. They claim whatever ticket is named will sup port Grant as he Is the only Naug- atuck man who is out for this job. Apparently Grant has his doubts for he has not yet formally signi- fled any intention of doing so.
 Many are wondering as to the possible effect of the disputes on the party.
 Last spring there was caucus fight between the Calvin and Green factions in the first ward and the former forces were defeated by about two votes. Later Warden Sheridan was nominated when Jo- seph Reynolds supporters swung to him, MT Green losing out.
 However at least temporary har- mony was arranged and the demo- crats went on to win. The admin istration is publicy holding aloof from the present battle. There seems little doubt that no matter which side wins, the followers of the other will be nursing their wounds for some time, unless the whole party breaks out with an unexpected rash of harmony, which would be as rare as rain is to west ern farmers, rarer, perhaps.
 Seven delegates and two alter mates from each ward will be named to the general convention to be held in the borough court room, Thursday evening. At the convention eight delegates will be elected to each of the following conventions, state, congressional, probate, senatorial and county.
 No Meeting Held
 Two republican members, Frank Eaton and Louis De Carlo, showed up for the meeting of the board of welfare last night but they were informed there would be no meet ing. Warden Sheridan was report ed out of town and other demo- cratic members were not present, apparently unable to attend.
 There was at the end of July an unexpended balance in the de- partment's budget, amounting to $5S,3S2.65. The appropriation for the fiscal year is $75,000 and with quarter gone only a little mere than $21,500 has been spent. How ever this is slightly over the al- lotted expenditure if it is figured on a quarterly basis, which figuring might be deceptive.
 This is if each of the other three quarters amounted to the same sum, there would be an over ex- penditure of the budget. But the condition of town employment and other factors causes quite a varia- ton in the expenditures of the de- partment.
 Demands May Increase
 Some members feel that de. mands on the welfare department for relief may increase in the next few months, entailing larger ex- penditure than has been the case up to now.
 There. was an unexpended bal ance of $80,876.17 on June 31 so the amount spent in July amounted to $7,493.52. The detailed report of expenditures follows: Outside poor, $6.439.67; labor. $S,O40.23; hospitals, $2,4S9.51; children in homes, $2,107.72; town farm, $2,- S63.S4; overhead, $2,434.67. The total was $24,977.64, but from this Is taken $3.S00.29 in unappro- priated income.
 Also $6O income from sale of wood, leaving a net expense of $21.617.35. No more state credits were received during the month of July, Superintendent of Public Welfare N. Hadley Cox said today, His report as to distribution of federal foods during July showed 7SS pounds of pork given out to borough needy, .117 pounds of beef, l72 pounds of flour and 50 pounds of cheese.
 Whether or not there will. be need of a special meeting could not be asccrtained yet, but it is not expected, there will be. Last year several times no meetings of the board were held but the shoe was on the other foot then for it was absence of republicans which delayed transactiou of business. To Distribute Food
 Roast beef will be given out to borough needy tomorrow, Superin- tendent of Welfare Cox has an- nounced. This is the first time in several months that two successive Wednesdays have found distribu- tion of federal food. Beef is the only food product to be given away tomorrow afternoon however.
 Garden Group Meets
 An interesting meeting of the garden group of the Naugatuck Woman's club was held yesterday at the home of Mrs John Brod- erick of High street. Some beau tiful flowers in Mrs Broderick's 's collection were on exhibition and an inspection of her garden was made. There was considerable dis cussion by those present concern ing gardens and flowers and all present listened to radio talk on this subject. Refreshments were served and a social time enjoyed.
