Naugatuck, August A busy evening for Warden John J. Sheri- | dan is anticipated tonight. At 5:OO o'clock this afternoon he will at- tend the meeting of the board of public welfare at which time a final choice is expected on the per- son to fill the superintendent of public welfare position.
 It is believed another vote will produce the same result as did that Monday night at the boards reg ular session, three votes for Supt. N. Hadley Cox, republican. and three for Leo Scully, democrat. The warden has announced he will cast the deciding vote for MT. Scully in event of tie.
 The board will also have to set tie just how long the new super intendent will remain in office. This constitutes an interesting problem. Just how it will be solved remains to be seen. The charter provides the board of char ities will have the power to "ap- point a superintendent of the poor, who shall hold his office for two years, and until another shall be appointed and qualified in his stead" This would indicate the new appointee should either continue to August, 1887 or his work and therefore pay should be made re- troactive to the middle of June the ordinary time for appointment. If | this is done it will mean that two | @. ,.,ilI hn rHoid for the months of June and July in case MT. Cox is not reappointed. As Superintendent Cox has served since his term expired, he will un- doubtedly draw pay for this. The salary of $1,800 annually has been set for the new superintendent. If MT. Scully is named, and serves to mid-June in 1887 1t will mean he will get $3,600 for less than two years. However the in- genuity of.the welfare board finally got the intricate manure situation at Meadowbrook home strengthened members, will undoubtedly be able to cope with this problem.
 Later in the evening at 8 o'clock daylight savings time the warden 1 will preside over special meeting of the borough board, at which session any property owners on Cherry street. who wish to protest assessments for laying sidewalks on that street have the right to ap- pear, and also resident of Wood land street will get the chance to state his objections, if any, to lay | ing of lines and grades on his street between High and Granite streets.
 It is believed a petition will be presented, signed by 20 voters asking for a freemen's meeting on | the question of accepting or err jecting a borough ordinance under which hotels, restaurants and clubs will get the right to sell liquor here on Sundays from noon until p. m. if they have a license from the state. The date for this special election will probably be set.
 Several reports on matters dfsy cussed at the August meeting last week may come up tonight.
 The matter of reducing the an- nual fee for vendors license in order to make more effective the new ordinance may come up as also will the matter of giving back pension to the widow of the late Anthony Malone, police force cap tain here many years.

 Cherry street residents acted on this and indications now are that the new walks will b started there shortly.
