ohtEe LOWn where a 1actOEy smut down completely when labor tfou- ble started and has not yet re- sponded. Those workers would probably have been glad to take a cut rather than lose work com pletely, he said. Mir. German said 1t was not fully settled yet in that section. The board then voted to have MT. Whlttemore make inquir- les concerning the powers of the special committee.
 More Projects Needed
 Supervisor Whittemore expressed the hope that the borough board would act tonight on suggested EZRA projects in the North Church street development. These would be storm sewer projects and were approved by the EZRA board at previous meeting subject to the approval of the borough board. A report from the street committee In regard to- them was due tonight but will probably depend on whether Burgess Leo Brophy, who has been i'll, will be able to at- tend the session tonight.
 MT. Whitemore said that the
 
 going on now. the High tsreet, projects are very crowded and it is necessary to get more projects started, he added.
 The Jones road, Pond street, South Main street and Johnson street jobs have been halted tenn -porarily by the weather, he an- nounced. All of these are nearly completed. however.
 The expected discussion of trucks materialized but was not a hot one because MT. Bloom. state EZRA engineer, was not present at the session.
 Truck Discussion
 The warden said that estimates on the High street job called for two trucks only and between 50 and 50 men, and those on the Dunn avenue job called for no trucks. Tn response to a request, he said. he added two more trucks on the High street job and then MT Bloom in what the warden described as q sarcastic letter, demanded six in- stead of four trucks on this project. Sheridan said he did not like such sarcasm now and then. MT Whit temore said Blooms request was only for a two weeks period and in view of the fact the borough Is letting EZRA use all of its trucks, the EZRA is satisfied.
 [ MT Sheridan said if the High street project were crowded some EZRA men could be taken off there and put on the rip rapp wall where there is scarcity of EZRA workers, he said.
 MT Whittemore reported that an EZRA project which has to do with chopping down apple trees in which maggots have entered has been started locally under the su- pervision of the state department of agriculture.
 Thus far 387 trees in Naugatuck on the property of six or seven persons have been found diseased he said. The New Haven road sec- tion and some other sections have not yet been covered. MT Bishop of Cheshire Is in charge. Owners per- mission is required before the trees are felled.
 There is a problem of transporta- tion but Warden Sheridan on the request of MT Whittemore agreed the town would supply the approx innate gallon of gasoline daily needed to transport thew orkers to the orchards. It is expected a car of the workers will be used.
 On the suggestion of Warden Sheridan and John German the board appointed Leo Brophy, local burgess, as foreman of the masonry part of the EZRA project, sub ject to permission from the state, to do so. He will not be a relief worker but 1t was felt that an ex- pert's guidance in construction of this dry wall there is necessary High tribute to MT Brophy's ability was paid by members of the
