Naugatuck Begins Three New Projects - As=
 sembling Ordinances

Naugatuck, March 28-Three new white collar F ERA projects have been started here, it was learned today. One which will be of interest to all Naugatuckians IS the ssembling of all ordinances of the borough, passed since 19O7, into booklet form with the inten- ton of publishing them at later date.
 Ordinances in town charter is- sues now available only date up to 1907. There have been numer- ous ones passed since that time nut these have not been recorded in the charter although they may have been published in newspapers at the time.
 Two EZRA workers are now typing out these ordinances and assembling them so that in future issues of the charter Naugatuck- ians will know just V. hat the laws are under which the town is gov- erned.
 The second project is that of making indices of probate court records. A general index of these is being prepared. as was done with the recores of the town clerk and borough board meetings. Two workers are also employed on this
 Thre workers are busy making out card index system for per sons exempt fro mpaying taxes The borough has not had such ar index hitherto. These projects were started last week, according to Christian Groh, EZRA official Other white collar projects had been completed recently.

STATION HELD UP
 BY TOWN SHERIFF
Writ Halts Huskies From Moving Building-Card
 Game Substituted

A crew of six huskies from the R. N. Blakeslee Co of Waterbury journeyed just to the town line al Oakville to-day to lift a gas sta. l ton out of the ground and place it on a trailer to bring it back tC Waterbury, but at press time the men were engaged in a social game of cards while the sheriff who served the writ on the station pro- prietor awaited further instruc- tions on procedure.
 The writ brought under a re- pievin action instructed the sheriff, Fl. G. Morris of Litchfield county to attach the gas station and cart 1t back to Waterbury. The writ was brought in the interest of the Just us Oil company of Waterbury which had leased the property, owned by w. H. Burns.
 The men began digging to ex- cavate the lost building when MT Burns halted them, explaining that he intended holding on to the structure until a back payment off rent in the amount of $500 or whereabouts, was paid. This stump ed the sheriff who decided to wait further instructions.
 The workmen who were half way down in the ground digging under the pump, stopped their manual labor and took up the more preferable game of card playing.

Mental Disorders
 Claim Heavy Toll
Nervous Diseases Constitute Second Most Important
 Cause of Disability in County Say StatistiCians

New York, N. .Y.-Nervous and mental diseases constitute the second most important cause of disability in the United States, be- ing Outranked by the respiratory diseases only. They are responsible for IF per cent of all illnesses, and keep 303,000 hospital beds filled the year round, according to statistics of the Metropolitan Life Insurance company.
 Declaring that mental disorders "exact an immense toll each year from the people of the United States" the statisticians say:
 Patients i'll enough to be con- fined in hospitals for mental dis eases equal in number all those under treatment in other hospitals for every condition whatsoever. Out of slightly more than mil lion beds in all the hospitals of the country in 1893, over 100000 were in hospitals for mental diseases, and these institutions took care of a daily average of 383,000 patients.
 Hospital Totals Increase
 "Because there is much low CT turnover among such patients the mental hospitals have an oc- cupancy rate far in excess of all other hospitals. As a result men, tai patients are given many mii- 1io more patient-days' treatment than are furnished for all other diseases combined"
 The statisticians explain that patients in institutions for mental disease increased 200 per cent

HAUPTMANN HAS
 APPEAL HEARING

Trenton, N. J., March 2S-(UP) Formal presentation of Bruno Richard Hauptmann's appeal from the death sentence for the murder of Charles A. Lindbergh, Jr, was scheduled today in the court of errors and appeals. Defense coun- sel, headed by Edward J. Reilly of Brooklyn, intended to ask post ponement of hearing until October, to provide time for the collection of new evidence and for perfecting the appeal. It was believed they might be accorded delay until June.
 The appeal is based on technical grounds. and central point of att tack will be Justice Thomas W. Trenchard's charge to the Hunter don county jury, which the defense contends was prejudiced and did not analyze the testimony or Hauptmann's witnesses who proved his alibi for the night of the kid naping."
