Wm J. Baxter, Corespondent-PhOne Naugatuck S72-2.

Naugatuck, Oct. 8-Although it had been expected the High street project would start as a Works Progress Administration job We'd nesday, Chris Groh, EZRA official, announced to-day that plans to start 1t Wednesday have been changed, and 1t may not get under way as a WPA job until next week, according to the present out look.
 The change is due to an order from MT. Kennedy, regional engi- neer in charge of transfers from EZRA to WPA. MT. Kennedy told the local man that he is not yet certain when the project will start.
 In the meantime funds for EZRA work are still continuing. The quota for the first two weeks in October has been received and con1- pares favorably with recent quotas. When the High street job starts as a WPA project, there will have to be about IS men transferred possibly to the EZRA Dunn avenue job as there are that number more working on High street now than the WPA estimates call for. Def mite announcement will be made later.

Beacon Falls, Oct 8-With repub- licans here back on the political throne, having made clean sweep of all contests in yesterdays elec- ton, talk concerning the election still continued today. The surprising defeat of First Selectman Theo- dore Sclhnitz, democrat, TWO has held the office for seven years, by Christian Heiss,s republican, wa the major topic of conversation.
 MT. Heiss won by four votes, the vote being 292 to 288. Another sur prise was the showing of Sherman Stocker, republican, who ,nosed out MT. Schmitz for the position of second selectman, getting 290 votes. MT. Schmitz Is now third selectman as former second selectman James Rourke lost out by coming in fourth with 273 votes.
 Both Schmitz and Rourke ran well ahead of their ticket, the av- craze democrat vote being 239. MT. SchmitZ is quite popular here and although republican victory in most offices had not seemed unlike ly, local residents did not believe he would lose out.
 The answer seems to be in the fact that more republicans needed the advice of Party Chairman Frank Bronson and voted straight republican ticket. There were reports prevalent, which could not be con- flrmed, that replacing of A. Con- taldi as constable in the democrat ic caucus, caused some internal re- sentiment, although the Young Ital- American club endorsed whole heartedly the democratic ticket.
 There was total vote of SOP, less than last year when more than 700 voted. It had been expected a heavier vote would be cast in view of the fact about 100 new voters had been made this fall. There were 227 straight republican votes 175 straight democratis and 186 split tickets voted with IA being thrown out because they were il- legal. Registrar Ruth Carroll esti- mated 123 eligible to vote did not do so.
 The republican margin of from 50 to 100 votes was surprisingly large A closer vote had been expected 1 Ralph Tucker was reelected tax col lector, beating Lester Frost, demo- crat by a 79 vote margin. This con- test was very close last year be- tween the same two men.
 Fred c. Curtiss who will start his 29th consecutive year as town clerk showed his popularity by running ahead of his ticket to get 341 votes and defeat George Dafferty, his democratic opponent by Ill votes
 In the contest for constables, sev' en of the eight nominated being chosen, John Karaban, democrat boiled the smallest number and los out. Other republicans elected in cluded William Gallagher, treasurer Frank E. Bronson, board of relief William Gruber, town treasurer anc town deposit fund agent; Arthur Andrew, auditor.
 The election results follow:
 First selectman-Christian Heiss (r) 292; Theodore Schmitz (d) 288
 Second Selectman - Sherman Stocker, C) 290; James Rourke, (d) 273.
 Tax collector--Ralph Tucker )r) BPS; Lester Frost (d) 249.

Collections Better


 Indications now are that George Wilkas of Middlebury recently ap- pointed garbage collector here, is learning his route as complaints to the borough clerk concerning gar- bage collection have decreased considerably lately.
 At first the borough clerk was kept busy with complaints from persons whose garbage had not been picked up. However these lessened as the garbage collector became more familiar with the town. He has put on two trucks here lately and indications are the residents will have less to worry now about when their garbage is to be cellec- ted.
 A public food sale will be held Thursday afternoon at the w. F. Brennan store on Church street by the Altar society of St. Francis church. Some fine edibles will be on sale and patronage of the pulp lie is requested.
