The tabling yesterday Of the bill
| in the state legislature which
would have made the position o.
chief engineer, assistant chief en-
| gineres and paid men of the fir
| department permanent is believed
to have hurt the chances of Fire

ment. 1t had been reported thai
Warden John j. Sheridan wat
''stalling' the calling of the spe.
cial meeting in the hope that this
measure would pass the legislature

sanitary sewer projects before &C.
ton on other proposed projects IL
supervisor here. said today. Mr.
Groh said he got this information
on trip to Hartford to FERA
headquarters late this week.
Mr.. Groh also included in the
| things the state wishes tackled
| first community rest room. Such
things benefit the public in genera
and this is why they should b.
started first, he said.
Some take this as an indication
the FERA headed by Harris Whit
temore. Jr., Republican who ha!
long favored fairly quick action OF
the sewage disposal plant here
may make q strenuous effort Il
have such work started here soor
as an FERA project.
It seems certain that Wardel
John J. Sheridan will oppose sucl
a move, If one is made. The. ward
en- in a prediction speech de
clared he would not favor Manga
tuck taking such action until Wa
terbury and other towns to thu
north take some steps to clear III
the dumping of sewage into thu
Naugatuck river.
A special meeting Of the free
men would undoubtedly have to pt
called If action were decided upoI
as the freemen's meeting in 1881
passed a motion that no worl
could be ordered by local board!
until Waterbury had erected 1T
plant.
A motion to amend this measure
to allow immediate action IL de.
sired by Naugatuck was framed tc
be presented to the last freemen'.
meeting but was not presented
Therefore permission from the
| freemen will be required before
action can be taken.
A request for community rest
room was one of IL submitted
several months ago by Mr.. Grot
and Borough Clerk Charles Dial,
as FERA projects. Mr.. Groh is op.
quested will be granted.
He said he was informed thu
Naugatuck FERA quota for june

June It is expected full details
concerning new government plan,
will be learned. II any changes ir
