 Naugatuck, Oct 22--The under surface hostility between Warden gineer c. E. Bloom broke out again last night at the meeting of the TERRA advisory board. Little waS accomplished. The applica- tions for the High Pond street and Hunters mountain projects were approved officially and also the board approved the project of wid. snjng Church street, altogether a distance of 240 feet, at an approx snate cost to the town of $500.
 This was the first meeting in sev- eral weeks that Mir Bloom att tended, and his presence seemed 10 light a spark. He brought up the matter of getting two trucks in- stead of one on the High street job near South Main street at the Pompano property.
 He claimed that because of lack of trucks the men are excavating the dirt, and throwing 1t on to the road until the time the truck comes along. He said efficiency could be secured by having truck ready for the men to throw the dirt in instead of having to shovel 1t twice.
 He warned the High street job will be stopped unless suff1cient trucks are up there.
 His manner at first by no means conciliatory and it aroused War den Sheridan to anger "Why don't you people come to me before the meeting and tell me about these requests of yours, Instead of bring ing them up at the meeting. If 1t isn't trucks. it's shovels, referring to a complaint at the last meeting on alleged lack of shovels.
 Efficiency Needed
 Mir Sheridan said he was down there and said there were only about six men working. He claimed this number could not load two trucks, quickly. saying one would have to wait long time. "The state insists on some efficiency and you can't get it that way" said Bloom.
 A state truck took gravel from this job yesterday but there was no certainty 1t would be used to-day. Attorney Joseph Talbot board member. pointed out the project as approved called for two trucks. WaAaCn 9hCAt0ah a6dAh AohCa W AJ either he or the road superintend- ent was not asked to-day instead of the issue being brought up at the meeting. He intimated he was being made the goat.
 Christian Groh said he asked Brophy some time ago. Harris Whittemore EZRA administrator here, said ''why not put in writ ten requests to both the warden and Mir Brophy the day before these things are needed. What want to do is to try to rid Warden Sheridan of the idea am trying to pin anything on the town. We want IS much work done as efficiently as possible. We are not trying to get anybody's work. said Mir Whitte- more.
 Sheridan then asked if the truck would have to stand by an hour or n half hour MT Sheridan said, "Mr 1roh has approached me during the day. Jim Brophy street super intendenta is always willing to CO., operate"
 The question of stone on the rip rapp wall was then brought up and the need to get some there was pointed out.
 Warden Sheridan said that If the state truck can be used again to- day in taking fill from the Com pano project on South High street, one large truck may be used to cart stone for the rip-rapp wall and anothe will be used on the Pompano job.
 Welfare Dept Men
 State EZRA commands as to just who will or who will not work on some of tn eprojects again came to the fore when Engineer Bloom said that on the work on northern High street from the intersection of Cemetery street to City Hill. which was approved last week, 39 EZRA men and 21 welfare depart mcnt workers should be used.
 This Is somewhat similar to the rip-rapp wrll. Although the latter IS an EZRA project. most of those working there are welfare depart mcnt workers per order of the <. state EZRA.
 Warden Sheridan showed an in- clination to rebel against this or partment workers might be need ed on town work.
 MT Whittemore asked If there was not Q povision in the borough budget for new purchase of trucks amounting to more than $5.000.
 Warden Sheridan said there was but declared much of it has been spent on maintenance. He admit ted the borough was considering buying a new rtuck oreplace one partially defective but the old one would not be turned in and might be used later. he said. "Our pro- jects won't be so spread out now. he said.
 Mir Groh reported the Bethany airport project object of much cri- ticism. has been finished and the Wooster street job has also been completed.
 Work on Jones road is now un- derway and should be finished by the end of next week. The matter of Johnson street was then dis cussed, being brought up by MT Bloom.
 Water In PuddIes
 This Is good job but where Is the water which lays in puddles at there fills up and washes the road. He said an outlet by means of a sewer with City Hill street is need
 
 on Orchard Terrace in the opinion of Borough Engineer Robert D. Beardsley.
 The estimated cost of this to the town IS $760 if it is laid north to City Hill street and about $150 less if to Orchard street. From Orchard strett to Hain street the system was never plaaned any larger than 1t should be. said Mr Beardsiey. Twelve and 16 inch pipe would be needed for the Johnson street Job. The water is cutting Into the gar. den of Mrs Johanne Curtin on Johnson street. she claims. She has sued the borough in connection with some FERA work there. The water runs of the road at the re- taining wall on Johnaon street.
 Mir Heardsiey whom asked by At. torney Talbot said he could not say whether if was necessary to do this work on Johnson street. tho pud. dies having boon there for the last
