WORK PROJETCS
 MAY NOT QUALIFY

A new federal ruling whereby funds involved in expenditures for works projects must be largely de- voted to labor, with materials to be minimum of the total cost was believed by several local contrac- tors today to have effectively spiked the entire $10,000,0 900 works project proposed for this city earlier in the week.
 While declining to qualify their statements pending a more com- prehensive study of the scheduled program, the contractors ques- tioned by The Democrat were united in the opinion that the ma teriai-cost of the projects involved would entail the outlay of a con. siderable portion of the appropria- tion.
 Established by order of Presi- dent Roosevelt, the new rule is de- signed to keep the average expen- allure per person under the pro- gram to a maximum limit of $1,140. The regulation will auto matically disqualify a number of projects proposed as PWA devel- opments and may cause a revision of most of the plans outlined by Connecticut municipalities.
 Relief officials have taken the stand that the entire program was designed for the purpose of taking as many persons as possible off the relief rolls and that the large scale building projects involve . prohibitive cost for. materials.
 All projects such as that pro- posed for Waterbury will come un- der the jurisdiction of a works progress division soon to be or. ganibsed in Connecticut. For the present no application blanks have been made available. Preliminary applications on the usual EZRA forms, however, are being accepted by Leslie J. Hoffman, acting di- rector at the PWA office in Hart ford.

White Sulphur Springs, W. Va., June 8---Banking in America today stands at the crossroads" sub- feet to the determination of con- eress either to maintain the prin- ciples established by the Federal Reserve Act or ito project the federal reserve system into a posi- ton which will destroy those prin- cipies." 1t was declared here today by D. J. Needham, General Counsel Amercian B an kers association, speaking before the West Virginia Bankers association convention on the banking bill of 1885 now pend ing before congress.
 If Title II of the proposed bill in it's present form is enacted, it will, in my opinion, carry the bank ing system of America into another period of experimentation and re- suit in abrogating the basic prin- ciple of the system, namely, re- goinal autonomy" MT. Needham said. '.'Title II of the bill. if 1t is not modified, will establish indirect 'ly, if not directly, a central bank, which Is contrary to the we'll recog- nized fundamentals of our banking system.
 ''In my opinion, congress should not pass title II, without amend ments which will retain the basic principle of regional autonomy for the reserve banks.

Blood Test Measure
 Effective In January
No Decline in Application for Marriage Licenses Ex-
 pected By Town Clerk Dora Egan

Filing of marriage intentions in the office of the local town clerk, which assumed great proPortions during the past few weeks, was not due to the new bill passed by the legislature requiring blood tests for those desiring to wed, Town Clerk Dora A. Egan de- clared to-day. The new law, re- quiEing blood tests of prospective brides and grooms, does not be- come effective until January 1st. next, hence Miss Egan's statement to-day dlsmissing the erroneous report concerning the number Of intentions being filed now.
 "June and September are ale ways the heavy months on tho filing of marriage intentions" said Town Clerk Egan to-day. ''Tha number of marriage intentions filed affecting June marriages has been very large this year in com parison with many years in the near past.
 No Decrease
 Asked if the enactment of the new marriage law would cut down the number of persons filing inten- tions in Waterbury, Town Clerk Egan stated that while the law might be objectionable to some, she felt that a very small number of prospective brides and groorns would go outside Connecticut to go through the marriage contract.
 Furthermore, Town Clerk Egan explained, the new law passed by a recent legislature requiring n five-day notice on all marriage in- tentions was not liked by many. "New laws passed by the legisla- ture are not to the liking of many persons, yet they eventually grow to approve of them," said Miss Egan. The new law on blood tests may be objectionable but I feel that the legislatures action in passing such statute will eventually slide into the usual rou- tine of all those desiring marriage licenses."

DE VINO EXPECTED
 TO SURRENDER

Ralph Devino, one of two local men for whom warrants have been issued in connection with the raid of the huge still in Brooklyn, May 9, has retained the firm of Mascolo, Mcknight and Dauch as counsel and was expected to surrender to United States Commissioner Harry Krasow some time to-day. Att torney Edward Mascolo told the Democrat that it had been originally planned to have DeVino surrender at 11:30 o'clock this morning but that he will probably be surrendered by Attorney Fred Dauch somewhat later.
 DeVino's bonds will be set at $2,OO0 and date set for a pre- liminary hearing, Attorney Mas colo said. It is expected that the hearing will be at a distant date. Meantime, both Domenic Mastri- ami, the other man involved, and DeVino will be free on bonds of $2,000.
 At least two other warrants are out for residents of Portchester, N. Y., the Democrat learned to-day. Tracing of a shipment of molasses from that city is believed to have implicated Mastrianno in the case. He is listed in the city directory as a grocer, at no Railroad Hill street. The alcohol was dis titled from molasses. Arrests were made by Deputy Marshal Jo- seph Parks.
 Mastrianno, driver for the flaw kins Coal Company, posted $2,000 yesterday for his appearance for hearing before the commissioner June 21. Bonds of $1.000 for his appearance were also furnished by Arthur Cirarelii of 70 Sumac street. who resides in the house in front of the garage building where the still was found.
 Devino is head of the Waterbury Mason Supply and Coal Company with offices and storage houses lo- cated at 400 and sss South Leon ard street.
 The still was said by federal agents to have been the largest apparatus taken In New England since the repeal of the prohibition amendment. Several hundred gale Ions of alcohol in Ave gallon tins were also found on the premises Tho specific charge on the war rants is possession of an unregis- tered still.

NAPKIN 60. TO
 OCCUPY JUNCTION
Local Furniture Firm Gets Lease on Famous
 Site

The Matskin- Furniture company. which Is now located at 17 Brook street, has taken . long lease on the building formerly occupied by the old Boston Furniture company. This latter building Is situated at the corner of South Main. Scovill and Brook streets and was made famous by the old slogan Meet Me at the Junction"
 Extensive alterations to the three story structure will be made by the Mat2kin company, which is one of Waterbury's outstanding furnt- ture concerns. When the renova. tions have been completed the Matskih company, with its eKcel- lent and varied line of furniture, will more than ever be one of the outstanding business firms in Wa terbury.
 The building into which the Matzkin company plans to move was vacated 6 few years ago by the old Boston Furniture company when the concern went out of business. It later served as the temporary post office while the new federal building on Grand street was being erected.
