The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-08-09

Naugatuck, August "a meeting
of the board of public welfare next
Monday night is quite likely, War
den JohnJ. Sheridan said today.
Asked If Frank w. Eaton, member
of the board whose term expired
this year and to whose place no.
body has been named, will serve at
this meating, Warden Sheridan re-
piled, "rhat is entirely up to him."
Mr.. Eaton has not been reappoint-
ed and an attempt to appoint Irv-
ing Beauchamp to his place met
with failure Tuesday night.
Warden Sheridan said today he
might put another nominees name
before the board at its next meet
ing but he had not definitely decid-
ed on whether this would be wise
or not.
The warden has the power of
nomination and 1t lies in the au-
thority of the board to accept or
reject such nomination. The pres
ent member continues in Office un-
til his successor Is appointed, ac-
cording to borough charter.
If the meeting is held Monday, 1t
will be the first welfare board
meeting since the April one. 1t is
believed there will be much busi-
ness done. Richard Durkin, board
member, recently complained the
members did not know what was
going on in the department be-
cause no sessions had been held.
indicating 1t was necessary to do
much shopping to get any informa-
ton.
May Name Superintendent
The feature of the meeting is ex-
pected to be the appointment of a
superintendent of public welfare.
Ordinarily with. a democratic adj
ministration in power, a democrat
would be sure of this position.
AS it is, reports now have it, Will
liam j. Nixon, democrat and for
mer probation officer, has the in
side track for the Office and will be
nominated. But there is a conced-
ed possibility that split among
democratic members as to their
choice may pave the way for re-
publicans obtaining power and re-
appointing the present superin-
tendent, N. Hadley Cox, who has
served two terms. Mr.. Cox is a re-
publican.
Usually the three republican vote
TO? a republican and the three
democrats for democrat with the
warden settling the issue. But If
two democrats should vote for one
man andone democrat for another,

1t was reported two weeks ago
there was a definite disagreement
among democrats but rumors now
have it hits has been patched up.
A busy evening looms for the
welfare board. Despite an asser-
ton by Mr.. Beauchamp that he did
not want the office and had not
given anybody the right to offer his
name at the meeting Tuesday, War
den Sheridan said today he had
talked things over before last Tues
days session with the nominee. and
had come to an agreement. II
