 Still for Project
 Warden John J. Sheridan today stated he could not see why the Elm street project of correcting a bad water condition near the en- trance to the Naugatuck Chemical Co.,, should not be started in the near future, as an EZRA project. Recently EZRA Administra tor Harris Whittemore, Jr., expressed opposition to beginning the work, giving the wintry weather and hard condition of the ground as his reason. MT Sheridan said today that work of grading Dunn avenue has been progressing well. This is an EZRA project. He said work on tho Elm | street job could be done as well as on the Dunn street project. A meeting of the EZRA board may be held tomorrow. MT Whittemore has been out of town but was expected to return today and a definite de- cision as to when the meeting will take place is expected soon after his arrival Some decision on the new project will be necessary soon, as there is over-crowding on other projects, it is reported.
 Warden Sheridan feels strongly against the EZRA attitude toward appointing of Burgess Leo Brophy as supervisor of the High street job to work full week each week. The EZRA advisory board at its last meeting named MT Brophy to fhfa nnutftnp tn l-l. not be repetition of the work done on Johnson street, where the borough Is faced with a suit pos- sibility from Mrs Johanna Curtin because of an allegedIy botched job.
 The board felt 1t advisable to have MT Brophy there an entire work week but the EZRA state office in Hartford would only allow MT Brophy to be on the Job two days on the relief payroll. If he were to remain longer, he would have to be paid by the town. Warden Sheridan does not think this Is right. He pointed out there are few men in town capable of handling this task and said he will do his best to have the ruling changed.
 Ball Preparations
 Officer Timothy Reardon of the | police force and Fireman Maurice Scanlon are out contracting Naug- atuck business men to ask them to purchase at least one ticket for the Roosevelt birthday ball which will | be held next Wednesday night in Pythian hall. The business men are being solicited to purchase the tickets because they will not be asked to purchase ads on the dance program. as Is the usual custom. The policemen and flremen were donated by heads of their respec- tive departments.
 Of course there will be a big attendance at the ball, 1t Is expect cd. and the committee in charge hopes that 100 tables will be oc- supied at the card party which will be held in the Elks rooms the same night. Members of the com mittee pointed out today that those who like to play cards are not usually the ones who enjoy dancing so both events are expected to be well attended.
 Arrangements have been made so that if the Elks room is not large enough to accommodate the chowd who wish to play cards, the rooms of Ojeda council K. of c. on the top floor of the Ncary building will be used. If there Is still some over flow, the recreation room of the fire house will be used.
 Prizes will be awarded at each table to the persons having the highest scores, and there will be two door prizes, one T Fredericks Vita-tonic permanent wave, for the lady. donated by the Esther Beau ty shoppe, and box of cigars for q man. Mrs William Laube heads the committee in charge of the party.
 Those not able to attend either card party or dance will get the opportunity of sending a telegram of greeting to President Roosevelt. The entire Rotary club was ap- pointed committee yesterday by Warden Sheridan to arrange for these telegrams. The charge for each telegram will be 25 cents. Harold R. Perry was named chair man of this group and John Schu- mack, vice-chairman The Western nion and Postal Telegraph have offered their services free of charge Iexcept for the 25 cents. Money real lzed In this manner will also go to the infantile paralysis fund, 70 per cent of which will remain in Naugatuck for assistance of victims of the disease here and go per cent goes 10 the national commis- sion to be used in research work.
