expensive, he said. Much more clerical work is necessary now. Naugatuck is no exception to other towns in this respect, Stamford re- uuiring four clerks to handle just this matter. New legislation re- uuires all children under 16 must attend school if they are of school age.
 He said he would be able to hold down supplies cost somewhat next year although the new move ment in education the Progressive movement Certain features of which I am heartily in accord with" has provided great stim- ulation for art work in the lower grades in an effort to bring out Individuality and there has been an increased use of Art materials, he said
 "No-glare" paper of greenish tinge is being used in some schools now and is worth Investigating for possible use, he said. In' discussing tuition fees he said he still gets claims from other towns for taking care of Naugatuck children, one from Seymour having been receiv- ed but not granted as other towns nave ldlItu tO dCL Ol ouSH ICiuSSkos Action by the legislature is being awaited in this respect. he said,
 There was considerable saving last month in the high school cleo tricity bill when a meter stopped recording and it was not found out for some time,sh he said. Atty Me- Donough predicted a cheaper elec- tricity rate next fiscal year.
 Fuel to Be Higher
 Fuel will be higher after April 1, MT Mannweiler told the superin- tendent so it was decided not to reduce the appropriation for this item. Replacement of equipment item could be held down to '$1.000 by the most rigid economy the superintendent said, but board members felt it would not be ad- visable to try to do so. Insurance will be higher this year, Mir Chat tenden told the board. He pointed out that compensation insurance increased this year because some money had been collected by the school when an accident occurred last year. Such an item could not be foreseen, he pointed out.
 He expects $165 credit on the libraries from the state before the present fiscal year is over. Because of the fact the regular school nurse, Miss Elizabeth Neary, was i'll for a time and because a scarlet fever epidemic occurred, the hiring of another nurse for considerable period @was necessary. This item was charged uu to miscellaneous expense adn this section has al-

ready been exceeded because of out.
 He said that Mrs Edward Pen rose, art supervisor, uses her car. in her work and said the expense for supervisors has been higher this year because she like other supervisors has been granted $lO monthly for the gas and oil used. r Schools Painted
 In discussing repair items the superintendent pointed out that the outsides of practically all the pub lie schools in town have been painted. There are some schools where inside painting will be necessary but they are in fine shape as regards this matter now. EZRA workers have been used, and although the figures do not show it, the town has been saved some expense in the figure, Atty McDonough said, pointing out if town workers had to be used, and the town pay for it the expense would be considerably higher. The, school department pays for expense of materials in EZRA work. MT Rodenbach said the buildings were

 There has been about 100 per cent increase in the cost Of book supplies, since 1882, MT Chittenden declared. He said the board had trimmed their budget the bone several years ago and as a result some textbooks have worn out now, not having been replaced then. '. The EZRA materials cost was the item which caused the main part of the deficit the bud- get will show, he said.
 Board members praised the sup erintendent for doing as well as he has.
 Lauds Chittenden
 Attorney McDonough pointed out MT Chittenden at the start of the year, said he doubted the depart: ment could keep within the strict budget provided this year. &"I think you did we'll" he added.
 The repair item is only 1 per cent of the value of school prop

atuch's unemployed teachers first,"
 the superintendent said. He men, toned a New Haven man, who
 seemed competent, who had talked | with him about work here.
 John Pastino, president of the Italian American federation of
 Waterbury, spoke in behalf of the local societies. The two societies who submitted the petition request ing teaching Italian in the local high school, were the Loggie
 Plume e Gloria society, represent ed by Peter E. Marello, president
 and Rocco Sabia, and Societe' Cris-
 toforo Colombo, represented by Fedeie Pappano. and Charles Aquavia.
 MT Pastino in a pleasant and consolidating talk stated he was not familiar with the 'circumstances in town as regards ability to grant the
 request and the facilities here. t.lt l pointed out there is a population of
 nearly 3,G00 persons of Italian ex-
 traction in Naugatuck. Many of
 these are interested in studying the language.
 There are 50 pupils of Italian ex- traction in the local high school OSt"CSA IO oAA OV OA WAOhA oA ready to study 1t, he said. There is an increased desire for study of | Italian in other sections also now, he said. More Americans go to Italy now than ever before, and
 more go to Italy than to any other European country with the excep- tion of England.
 Relations Improve
 Trade relations between Italy and the United States have im- proved, Italy now being. the best paying customer of this nationy~ he claimed There is more correspond ence with Italy now with the knowledge of the Italian language l being required.
 Italian and English are inter-
 locking languages, he told the
 board. We will not be surprised ! if the board does not grant our re- quest imm ediately," he said. "We hope the board will give it serious consideration however and ascer. tain how many students would l study it. We respect the authority l of the board to act and take other circumstances into consideration. | We wish to be reasonable and wilI not feel discouraged if the board
 feels now is not the opportune time. Atty McDonough sugg es e d teaching of Italian be started Tn f local schools and MT Pastino said this would be great step forward and would be appreciated by the Italian people here. MT Mannweil- Ter then promised consideration and Supt Chittenden made his ex- planation. MT Pastino submitted l a list of schools in the state where Italian is taught, which the board members studied. MT AChittendeA also had list from the state com missioner of education.

fly in the past few years, and in the repairs item. Last year $3,O0O was set aside for transportation. $3,446.23 was spent up to this month and by the end of the month the sum is expected to be close to $4,00O if not more, so $4,000 was set as the tentative figure for this item in the new budget.
 EZRA materials for use in re- pairs have proved costly, amount ing to an expense of $4,647.39 thus far, and the repair appropriation of $3,0O0 has been overspent, ST. 672.71 having been spent thus far. So an increase of $1,O0O in repairs appropriation is sought.
 Increases of $500 each in the stationery and supplies item and in the replacement of equipment item are planned in the proposed budget. The sum of 1000 was ap- propriated at the start of this fis- cal year but $3,525.4S has been spent thus far, and $2,50O is asked for next year.
 One thousand dollars was set aside for the replacement of equipment item last year and thus far $2,088.71 has been expended so $500 will be the probable bud getary figure for this division in the new budget.
 Other Increases
 Other items tentatively pro- posed and increases if any follow: office supplies, $100 appropriated last year, $188.28 spent thus far, $150 asked for next year, $50 in- crease; expense of superintendent, $500 approp. 1884, $259 spent, $500 asked for 1935-36, no increase; enumeration, $500 approp., $394.85 spent up to March, $500 asked in new budget, no increase; other ex- penses of general control, $100 ap- prop. $60.78 spent, $100 asked, no increase; supervisors expense, $25O approp. last year, $265.59 spent up to March, $275 asked, increase of $25; free textbooks, 5000 appro- priated, $3,546.87 spent, $3,000 asked in new budget, no increase; tuition fees, 5000 approps, $815.90 spent thus far, $1,000 asked, no in- crease; other expenses of instruc- ton, $500 approp., $4S5.96 spent up to March, $4OO asked, increase of $10O; water, lights power, and gas, $3,O00 approp, $2,325.79 spent thus far, 5 5000 asked, no in- crease; fuel, $7,500 approp., ST. O29.43 spent thus far, $7,500 asked, no increase; janitors supplies, phones, carriage, etc., $1,7O0 ap- prop. $1,671.86 spent up to March, $170O asked, no increase; insur- ance, $2,5O0 approp, $2,699.24 spent up to March, $1700 asked in new budget, $200 increase; upkeep of grounds expense, not including salaries, $200 approp., $266.9S spent, $200 asked, no increase; school libraries, $500 approp., $418.37 spent thus far, $500 asked. no increase; miscellaneous, $500 approp., $45O.06 spent, $500 asked no increase; and playground ex- pense not including salaries, $1O0 apprap. last year. s73.49 spent thus far, $100 asked, no increase.
 Supt. Chittenden discussed some of these items. In asking the same amount of expense for him. self he said that when EZRA mat ters came to an end, he would not have as much expenses but with the EZRA on his hands, he has to do lot of travelling.
 Enumeration Expensive
 Because the state insists on care- full investigation of every case in enumeration this has grown to be

Naugatuck, March 8-The board of education will consider teaching Italian in. the local high school al- though itIcannot be done just now because of lack of funds, they told representatives of Italian societies who attended the board session yesterday afternoon.
 It is possible classes in Italian may be taught in evening schools here and also in the afternoon as EZRA classes, with the govern ment helping to pay for 0 teacher, MT Chittenden told the visitors.
 Lack of an unemployed teacher in Naugatuck qualified to teach Italian who could qualify for relief is the only reason why 1t has not been taught as an EZRA project here before this, said Supt Chitten- den in a clear and rather surpris- ing explanation. ..
 He added that he has talked It over with Mrs Gertrude Madigan, high school director here, but the trouble was in finding somebody out of work here qualified. Any subject not taught in the regular day school can be taught as an EZRA subject provided the teacher can qualify. Nothing covered in day school can be taught as an EZRA project.
 An EZRA subject may be taught in the morning, afternoon or eve- ming, at any time of the day, he said.
 There are five unemployed teach CTS here who are now being taken care of by the EZRA on various subjects, he said.

COMBINED DRIVE
UPON CRIMINALS

Los Angeles, July 1S.-(UP).-
A coordinated drive on crime in
which states wollld join with the
federal department of justice was
under consideration today by the
American Bar association, meeting
here. in annual convention. Two
authorities on Grim suppression.
Justin Miller, chairman of attor-
ney generals advisory committee
on crime, and George 2. Medalie,
former U. S. district attorney for
New York, urged that states ac-
cept the leadership of the depart
ment of justice in crusade against
outlaws.
Medalie scored inefficiency of
state agencies, declaring the in
ability of authorities to cope with
the crime situation has led to dis
respect for law. Crime today is
organized on a commercial basis.
Medalie's paper said, capable of
perpetrating it's depredations by
ramifcations which include ani-
ances with business and politics.
The gangster in many localities
has a political value. He is source
of both legal and. illegal voting in
return for whatever favors politics
may confer upon him."
