MANY COUPLES
 MARRY OUTSIDE.
l5O Left Waterbury Last Year to Be Wed in
 Other Places

More than i50 Waterbury couples went out of the state to be married last year. records in the ofice of Town Clerk Dora A. Egan show. This represents approximately orlc- fifth of the marriages involving Waterbury couples that were cofl-, trccted last year. Tn view of the new law that goes into effect a month hence, requiring blood tests of all prospective brides and groon1s all the registrars of vital statistics in Connecticut, including Town Clerk Dora Egan, are waiting to g.. if the new legislation will serve to drive more couples elsewhere to have the knot tied.
 Opinions Differ
 Opinion is divided on the advis- ability of the new law. Medical off, cials admit that the blood tests will do much to prevent much suffering among children. However, several local doctors, when talked with, de- clared that they did not care for the law because 1t indicates c ten- dency to delve into the private at. fairs of couples planning to be married. KY
 With a total of 15l Waterbury CO o'.ples going out of the state last year, local officials are inclined to predict that the number next year will be greatly increased.
 Forms To Be Filled
 Forms to be filled out by pros- pective brides and groonis and their physicians are expected to arrive at Town Clerk Dora Egafl's office next week. They are now in the hands of the printers. Health Ofii- cer pr. E. J. Godfrey has refused to allow the use of the local nlu- nicipal laboratory for blood testing on the grounds that the extra ex- pense and work should be borne by the state as the blood tests are necessary because of a state law. It, is believed that other cities having accredited laboratories will also let the state do it's own testing in its own laboratory at Hartford.D

BUCKLE co. TO
 BUY PROPERTY
Land Next to Present Plant-Washington St.
 to Be Strengthened

A large piece of land has been purchased by the Waterbury Buckle Company on South Main street, be- yond the firms present buildings, the purchase reported to have been made in order that the company may have room to erect new build- ings if the City of Waterbury car- ries through its plan to purchase part of the present Buckle Company property at South Main street and Washington avenue. The city, it was reported exclusively in the Democrat yesterday, is contemplat- ing sending Washington street straight across South Main street to join Washington avenue, thereby eliminating the two sharp curves which now exist, and making Wash ington avenue, Washington street, a straight thoroughfare.
 City Still Holds Option

The present Washington avenue bridge. which is but 8 short distance from where the new South Main street bridge is under construction, is nar- row and has curves at both ends.

It is a tract measuring 225 feet by 66 feet, by l65 feet, by 8 feet, by 65 feet, by 99.3 feet.
