NO GAIN HERE IN
 DREADED DISEASE
Halt Observed in Infantile Paralysis Cases-Dis-
 tricts Studied

Spread of infantile paralysis in Waterbury halted late yesterday afternoon and up to noon to-day no new cases of the disease were reported here. Health Officer Dr. Edward J. Godfrey stated that 1t was his opinion that the spread of the disease had reached its peak although, he added, 1t would take few days of intensive study of the various districts of Waterbury to make sure of this.
 Failure of new case to be re- ported in the city in more than 24 hours will be an important point discussed tomorrow after noon when the health board meets in special session to decide on whether or not an emergency exists to such an extent as to warrant the deferring of opening the local schools. The schools are sched- uled to open week from to-day.
 The growth in the number of cases since last Friday caused health and school officials here to become worried. Therefore, the health board will meet at o. clock tomorrow afternoon to dis cuss the question of whether or not to order the schools to remain closed until further notice. Nauga- tuck has already ordered the school opening delayed one week.

The att titude taken now py the court judg- es 10 expected to serve as a warning to those who fed they can get a slice of public tellef money even though they are not entitled to 1t.
 Systsm Set.up
 In Waterbury under the direc- ton of Mrs. Verdon, system of Investigating cases has been set up that reaches far out into the state and eleswhtre. The purpose of the intensive studies of all situations which cone to the attention of the department is to make sure that all relief mcney Is going to persons who are justly entitled to 1t. Birth records, bank accounts, payroll fig ures ard so-forth are constantly scanned by the investigators when they gre assigned to cose.
 Ony recently. Mrs. Verdon sta ted when interviewed, a woman ap- plies for relief from the city. The EOuiH0 iHNcotiBdtiOH WdS bldTtcu anl the applicant was at local bsnk teller's window the next tiorning to inquire if the city had made any investigation as to her $2.000 mank account. The woman in question was preparing to with draw the amount so as to fool the welfare department.
 Another person was receiving aid and somehow got wind of the close investigation made in all cases by Mrs. Verdon's staff. This applicant beat the welfare worker to the bank by ten minutes and withdrew $2,600. Pressure from the welfare department finally forced the man to pay back $500 for relitf already given through the city. This mon ey was turned back into the public welfare fund to be used to help people without any means of a live 1ihood.

 Another client wrote a letter to President Roosevelt declaring that she was destitute and that her daughter was unemployed, and that the public welfare department would not help her, furthermore, she charged, that 1t was useless to apply for aid as "pull' was needed. The letter reached the local well fare department in due time and it was proved that at the time she sent the letter she was receiving fuel, provisions and clothing from the city. It was also found that the family consisted of three and that the daughter was employed, re- ceiving $40 a month and maintain ance.
 In the case of the Stamford man who was given three months in jail, 1t was politically disclosed that Michael Servido, 36, of Nurney street Stamford was receiving aid from the city welfare department there, that he reported in good faith each morning showing that he was unemployed and it was learned that he was later skipping over to New York state where he was engaged in construction work
 "Employed Now"
 Since the action of the Stamford judge in sending Servido to jail many on relief in Stamford have sent in their relief cards marked Employed now"
 Mrs. verdon declared that 1t is the duty of every citizen to inform the welfare department of instnces where those who are not in need of help are receiving aid. She pointed out that all such informa- ton will be treated confidentially. Only in this way, she declared, can relief be administered constructive ly.
 Among the common practices followed by "Chiselers'' is to take their money out of local banks and deposit 1t out of town. Instances of this being done have been discover cd. another dodge" is for the hus- band to get work using his wife's name and for the wife to find employment using her mar riage name or vica versa.
