 On Noble's Motion
 Warden Sheridan absolutely re- fused to put the motion concerning MT. Walker made by Burgess No ble. despite the fact Democratic Burgesses Brophy and Dinneny said they approved it. The warden said: "I declare the motion out of order. No money was appropriated for such an appointment by the freeman. The warded added he would not do anything to satisfy political promises or to gratify per- sonal ambition"
 Burgess Noble, when his request was first refused. stated he had secured an opinion from the bor- ough attorney to the effect the war. den was required to put such a motion. He said if the warden would not put 1t, he himself could in his capacity as senior burgess.
 To this the warden replied: Not while I am in this chair. If the Prince of Wales came here to make that motion, would declare it out of order. It is very unfair. You were present at the budget meeting and there was no pro- vision for such an appropriation then. Why did you not bring it up .then?" Tt was not even in my mind then" replied Burgess No- ble.
 'The board has a little bit to say, doesn't it?" Burgess Noble asked. Just because your are sat- isied with things doesn't mean everybody in town is. Is the board supposed to agree to everything just because you approve it or should we have opinions of our own?"
 "You should agree with the free- men. replied the warden. "Why should I accept the responsibility of ovcrrunning the appropriation for selfish purpose of your own? :? The fire department got along all right last year without another mechanic"

The borough attorney didn't give me any opinion. have the opin- ion of the freemen. don't want to overburden the taxpayers. some of whom are only getting one days work a week to satisfy some friends at the expense of those who work hard for a living. You are way out of order on such Q recommen- dation."
 The town spent $75. 900 under the republican administration, the warden pointed out, for new fire machine when No. chemical was classed as obsolete by this pro- posed mechanic. The chemical was repaired at an expense of $75 to the tow nand is ready to answer a fire now. There was no need of a new fire truck. This was another proposition to satisfy personal ann bition at the expense of the people of Naugatuck."
 "You approved of it," charged Burgess Anthony Tangredi, repub- lican. T did not" the warden said. Burgess Tangredi said $5,O00 was appropriated last year for street department truck that was never bought. Tit was used for repairs" said the warden. The new burgess, Adoiph Schlosser. expressed him. self in favor of Mr. Noble's mot. ton and the warden asked him If he thought mechanic was neces- sary. He smld: ''I guess from what | hear one is." You should moi vote on hearpny," said the warden.
 Burgess Noble said he did not have 10 go to tho frecmen and em-
