The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-10-02

I nent fire chief but bill passed in the state legislature last spring
 made his position permanent. Some local residents were wonder ing whether this was the first move in an effort to oust him. Parking Changes ] The only other feature of the meeting was the boards approval of parking changes recommended by Chief of Police John Adamson, who made 8 personal appearance before the board. | Under these parking on the south side of the Memorial bridge will be banned A hours a day, and parking on one side of Maple street from Main street to Carroll street will be prohibited each month with limited parking on the opposite side. In regard to the Maple street parking the banned sides of the street will alternate each month, that is one month the north side will be banned and the next month parking will be forbid den on the south side.
 On the opposite side where parking is allowed, 1t will be lim- ited to one hour only per car from a. m. to p. m.
 Dangerous Spot
 In discussing the condition from Main oCarroll streets, the chief said somebody will be killed there unless action is taken. A bad con- dition existing. He said concern ing the situation at the Memorial bridge that two or three times every day there is 8 string of cars as far back as the firehouse, caused, he thinks, by the parking on the south side of the street. Charles Buckley, druggist at the is agreeable to 8 parking ban on the south side of the bridge, the chief said. Thomas Baxter, who owned a meat market there, had but MT. Baxter is not in business there any longer now. When the lines signifying lanes were in use, they worked quite well, the chief added. He plans to have the street department paint lanes on the south side now.
 He said there is plenty of room for 200 more autos in the Rubber company parking space on Church street and the company would be glad ohave available space used. The chief also suggested that park ing on South Main street be linn ited to one or two hours, declar- ing that "all-day parkers there apparently use their cars as off, ces." No action on this proposal was taken. Burgess Noble agreed with the chief that recent limita- tion of parking on Church street certainly has improved conditions there.
 The chief said he thought no parking at all on the Memorial bridge be allowed but did not defi- nitely ask for restrictions on park ing on the north side.
 Not Parking Place
 He declared however, that 1t was his understanding the agreement with the local bus driver, Lionel LeClair, was to allow the use of the space on the north side of the bridge as a stopping place of or un. l lding and loading passengers, not as parking spot. He will ask MT. LeClair to move further along the bridge as the bus blocks the traffic officers view in that direction. MT. LeClair will be willing, he expects.
 There was lengthy discussion of the matter of eliminating the bad curve on Bridge street oppo- site School street near the Eastern Malleable Iron company. A letter from Lewis Dibble, company's pres- ident, asking what action the bor- ough planned to take, was read.
 The three republican burgesses, led by Raytkwich and Noble, were trying to get approval of the project but the warden was very reluctant to give permission in view of the estimated cost. Borough En- gineer k. D. Beardsley and Will fred J. Megin, local contractor, each estimated the cast at $500. It will be necessary to tear down part of the Malleable iron wall, erect a new wall, new sidewalk, change the road and install storm sewer there. The $500 does not cover the cost of sewer installation but it is felt this coud be a WPA project. The Maleable Iron company will pay for the pipe and the WPA is expected to pay for labor.
 However, because the building is a prlvately-owned one, work on it could not be WPA job. Warden Sheridan thought the $500 too small and asked where it would come from, the money not having been appropriated for it.
 It was finally decided to ask the WPA to lay the walk and the board approved the project provided the cost is not more than $500 to the town.
 The application of Stanley P. Poscavage to be g supernumerary DO. iceman was accepted and placed on file. The deed to the Tutte prop erty ol. North Church street was accepted. Permission was granted the local chapter of Disabled Ann erican Veterans to hold their an- nual poppy sale on October 15 to November Il, inclusive, here. John O. .roski is chairman of the com mittee.
 Permission was given the Nau- gatuck Water company to lay 1000 feet of 8-inch main on Cherry street near Scott.
 Work for Women

It is sewing clothes for adults and children to be turned o-.er to needy persons on the well fare department. The pay is $65 monthly for 14 women and $S6 for a forelady. If another place cannot be found, the gymna- sium at the fire house will be used in the morning. Only i've hours work is expected daily and the project 10 expected to last eight
