Deeds E Exchanged d For
 Three Inches Of Land
City, Owners of Craft Institute Building Adjust Realty
 Differences for Record Aldermen Approve

The latter building Is to be sold, Tn making survey of the land it was found that the rear of the city's comfort station was about two inches over the line and, there- fore, on the. Institutes land. Ii was also discovered that the Insti- tute's building was about an inch over the line, and therefore, on the city's land. The exchange of deeds straightens out the line so that the sale of the building may proceed without further delay. y Firemen Extend Invitations

trash, she declared. Don't coddle the people," she said, but we must try to get them to do some thing for themselves, to stir their ambition"
 In response to MT Durkin's query as to why with Superintendent Cox and Christian Groh working here, another investigator, mean ing Miss Bull, is necessary, she pointed out that MT Groh was being paid by the EZRA and is not do- ing the investigating, having charge of the work division. Sup erintendent Cox Is so occupied with executive affairs he cannot be ex- pected to do much of the investi- gating, she said.
 New Changes Predicted
 She said new changes are com ing. Reports now have it big working program, something like the CWA is being planned for next winter. John C\st interrupted her to tell how, despite hardship and having lost his money, he still has courage. He said he knew of one family of eight with the man get ting only $9 week and asked how tuiS man COulu U6 eApSClSO lO sup port his family.
 Miss Hart said many such com plaints are received and always in vestigated. Usually it is found there is some money comin In from another or private source of which the complainant has no idea.
 ''We must encourage these per- sons who are unfortunate enough to be out of work now" she said.
 Don took on them as the scum of the earth. It is the duty of the citizens of Naugatuck to encourage them, to make them feel they are only temporarily out of luck, Miss Hart said.
 Warden John J. Sheridan, who introduced Miss Hart, said he be- lieved this talk would prove bene- ficial to those who listened and to the citizens of the town. He thank ed Miss Hart.
 Expenditures Much Less
 The expenditures of the public welfare department for April, May and June are much less now than at this time last year, the report showed at the business meeting of the public welfare board. There is total unexpended balance of ESQ., S76.17 fro mthe budget of $75,00O. Last year at the same time about half of the budget, or $S5,,000 has been, spent.
 The reason for this, Superintend- ent Cox explained after the meet ing, is that last year the first three months were quite heavily expen-

which they wanted to trade. Super intendent Cox denied a report heard by MT De Carlo that the chain stores in town were getting the largest volume of trade. MT De Carlo said that local merchants who live and pay their taxes here should get the most consideration in such matters. Superintendent Cox and Warden Sheridan agreed with him.
 Warden Sheridan said that if any member of the board receives a complaint in such a matter,1 he should get the storekeeper in Ques- ton to talk it over with the war den and welfare superintendent. I've want business men to be con- sidered on an equal basis" the warden said. He promised fair treatment.
 Mariana Complains
 William Mariana, republican ap- pointee this year, claimed that the major portion of the borough milk purchases was being made with two companies only. Superintend- ent Cox denied this saying it was distributed among six to eight com- panies on fair basis. He offered to prove this to MT Mariana after the meeting. MT DeCarlo said he had heard a report a Waterbury com pany was selling much milk to the town, investigated it and found 1t absolutely false, no milk being sold by this company to the borough.
 Warden Sheridan thanked board members for their cooperation thus far.
 No Distribution Likely
 Indications are there will be no distribution of free food this week to borough needy, N. Hadley Cox, superintendent of public welfare, saidtoday. This will be the second week in succession that no food has been given out.
 Up to this morning no reports of more food from the government for the borough had been received and consequently there will be no distribution.

sive and there was no government help. There has been government aid thus far this year, but he is not sure it will continue.
 Labor is the major expense thus far, this being $5,806.S1 for three months. Outside poor is next with $4,399.23; town farm third with $2,268.26; hospitals, $1,876.91; over head, $1,z19.39 and children in homes, $1,603).57. This amounts to expenditures of $17,674.17 but this gross expense is reduced by $3,- 498.34 received several months ago from the government in aid and $52 in income for wood.
 The next expense is therefore $14,123.S3.
 The first report of Miss Margaret Bull, EZRA and welfare depart ment investigator, proved quite in- teresting. It was for June. ,
 Miss Bulls Work
 She interviewed during this time 139 persons who applied at the of fee, she completed S7 EZRA in- vestigations, that is went into their homes, checked up on them at the banks and took the other usual steps. A total of 61 EZRA workers was laid off in June, she reported. Of these 25 were laid off because their income from other sources was too great, making them no longer eligible.
 Four were taken over by the town board, and 36 found employ ment elsewhere.
 Praises Factory Cooperation
 She paid a glowing tribute to the splendid cooperation afforded by local factories in her work. She said she had ben used to working in Waterbury and the same spirit of cooperation was not manifested by factories there, she said. Naug- atuck has much better spirit as far as it's factories and industries are concerned, she added.
 There were 153 persons on the EZRA payroll on June Sd and 107 there on June 30th. She made 43 home visits and in the welfare de- partment made four inquiries into out -of-town cases. She worked in regard to crippled children and the feeble minded. She said sometimes this work takes the whole day.
 Superintendent Cox reported $40 pounds of federal pork were given out, 396 pounds of beef. S82 pounds of flour, 270 pounds of butetr and 15 pounds of cheese.
 Richard Parkinson brought up the matter of distribution of food orders among local merchants, some saying they were not being treated fairly, he declared.
 Superintendent Cox said he al- lows the persons gettink relief to decide where he shall get his sup plies and thus there is bound to be an inequality of purchases.

Naugatuck, July 10 - An EZRA investigator is required in Nauga- tuck by the rules of the National Federal Emergency Relief admin istration. Miss Helen Hart, em- ployment reliefe supervisor in the the state, said last night at a meet ing prior to the business meeting of the local board of public well fare. Such an investigator is re- quired for every 100 cases, she said.
 In response to question from Richard Durkin, member of the board, as to why the borough, and not the EZRA should be required to pay fo rthe cost of this investi- gator, Miss Hart pointed out the borough people benefited and said the amount the EZRA was pouring in here per month is many times the salary paid the investigator. She proved a pleasant and inter- ing taker.
 It is thought Miss Hart was seeking to explain the government viewpoint to members of the board who have questioned the need of the town hiring Miss Margaret Bull es investigator of EZRA cases. She mentioned no names but her answers were pointed in this dl- rection.
 Certain standards have been set at Washington, she declared, and each state is required to see that such standards are enforced in the towns and cities in the state where EZRA relief is received.
 EowiOnS NFothoHS
 There is no certain allotment for a person of a certain age in Con- necticut. There are various meth ods used, depending on the situa- ton involved. The sate EZRA, Miss Hart said, tries to work out the ideas between the state and the town workers, not only the elected officials. but the people them selves.
 The two basic fundamentals of the EZRA in Connecticut she de- clared, are: 1-To secure ade- quate relief for the unemployed; ? To help town, having difficulty. secure such money sometimes by aiding it in floating a bond issue. They try to help the town get the advantages of federal aid in the emergency relief, she added.
 Washington Demands Conformity
 Washington insists on conformity with it's standards, she asserted. She told of investigators from the government recently asking infor- nation concerning a certain city in Connecticut which, it had been re- ported, was not conforming with EZRA standards. An investigator came to Hartford and Miss Hart had to lay the available material before him. The city WIS not con- forming, she said, but it had been warned time and again to change it's ways or it would not be eligi- ble for relief.
 There are still some towns in the state which are not eligible for such relief but Naugatuck is not one of them she said. Although she implied the borough is still striving to reach the goal of per- pection desired by the state EZRA.
 The government wants to help the people ofth town so they will maintain a standard of health and self respect. we can't give enough to prevent suffering" Miss Hart said. When a man who has always lived squarely and paid his debts finds himself in need of such aid, he always suffers because te

I cannot provide through his own efforts the relief such government aid gives. Young People Suffer
 Then there are young people just out of college on whim much money has been spent for a good education, who find on graduation there is no work for them and sometimes they hang around for a couple of years with no work, this class suffers too, she said. Some cannot even be given EZRA edu- cation jobs for their parents still have enough money to give them food to eat. and so these are not eligible.
 She warned against allowing sickly children to stay that way in a community. Soon the community will be sickly itself, she said. She also advised against sacrificing self-respect of the individuals for soon these persons would be paupers.
 Difinite Rule
 Some communities, she admit ted, didn't like the provision ne- cessitating community-paid in- vestigator, but she said it is a def mite rule which must be abided by. She described the work of the investigator in some detail, point ing out how each case must be thoroughly investigated, not only in the home, but also at the banks checkup must be made, and a talk concerning the person must be had with tho meet rlnUnr nf him.
 She told of the need of skill on the part of the investigator. Twin the confidence of the people you are looking up," she said. "and they will tell you willingly what many try to worm out of them and fail to get"
 She told the board members that it wa sthe duty of the town off cials not only to help the persons help, but also to keep an eye on through reasons of personal pride, would not apply. .
 Under the EZRA every man should get enough to take care of the budgetary needs of his family. AC U dlntu lllNCSllS SdlOl iIdS iO llltu just how much this amount would be. If a man has something com ing in from insurance, this must be deducted from the amount he requires, if he has some children working in the family, a certain proportion of the wages, a reason able amount, should be taken off also.
 Social Workers Duties
 The worker must certify which people need work and how much work they do need. If work is not enough it should be supplemented with food, Miss Hart said.
 We don't want those working for the EZRA to be comfortable and happy" she said. "We want them to be uncomfortable and un- Happy so they will not be satisfied with their present lot"
 Stir Their Ambition
 If the people should always be expecting somebody to support them and their families. it would be the worst thing could happen to Naugatuck," she said. However, they need adequate food, she said, fo ra man not getting enough to eat has not the pep to look for job. People who are called poor trash and who consider themselves such are going on being poor.

BOROUGH NURSERY
 SCHOOLS TO OPEN
Five Teachers Will Be Re- employed Early in
 September

Naugatuck, July 10.-Nursery schools in Naugatuck under the EZRA probably will be opened again in September, 1t was an nounced to-day by Superintendent of Schools Harold E. Chittenden. MT Chittenden said he talked yes- terday with N. S. Light of Hart ford, deputy commissioner of edu- cation in the state and in charge of the EZRA education section.
 It will be recalled here that nursery schools started here in the spring and proved quite poipular! They are for children of pre-school ages from 2 to 4 usually. This will mean unemployment in, Sep tember for about five teachers it is expected. Five were used at one time last spring. There were four classes.
 Supt Chittenden said to-day it is probable some of the teachers here who handled the nursery school work will be sent to sum- mer school to get several weeks additional training in this branch.
 He said MT Light had nothing to say as to continuation of the educational relief program after August l which had been reported yesterday in dispatches.

 Two Sets of lighthouses
 Tentative plans for erection of two double sets of bathhouses at the New Dam have been complet- ed, Warden John Sheridan today announced. The borough board vot- ed last week to empower the street committee and warden to go ahead with erection of such a structure as they saw fit.
 Under present plans, the warden said, there will be erected series of small bathhouses, more or less box shapes with no roofs with a wal between, girls dressing on one side and boys on the other.
 Such structure will be erected on the borough property near the New Dam and also a similar build ing will be set up on the section known as the Ostrom property near Melbourne street. The dam is usel by swimmers at both these spots.
 There will be two outhouses, it is explained. Two men, probab bly, on town relief list, will be appoint ed to take general supervision of the new bathhouses.
 This will be a cheap arrange ment for the borough and 8 need ed one, the warden said. The town vii have to supply the lumber, and EZRA carpenters will probably be used. Arrangements concerning use ofthe Ostrom property will be made today, it is expected.
 Stores of the Merchants Bureau were closed this afternoon, the first of Tuesday afternoon closings during July and August.

VTHAT REALLY HAPPENS when w you step on the "gas"?
 A valve opens. Liquid gasoline spurts in. Air rushes to the cars bureter. And in a flashing second :. powerful GAS is formed. In an instant, this gas is fed to cylinders. Spark plugs fire the gas ex- plodes :. and thus IS born the power that runs your car.
 This factor of AIR is important for two reasons. In the first place, the weather IS constantly changing day to day-even hour to hour.
