"Unfairness" Alleged
 In Selecting Teachers
"COIIusOn" in Granting Leaves of Absence Charged
 at Hectic Board Meeting-l7 Regulars Appointed

Charges of "Collusion," in the matter of leaves of absence, and ot unfair discrimination" in the rec concentrations of appointments to the regular teaching list of 17 sub stitute teachers were hurled at members of the board of education both collectively and individually yesterday by Mrs Florence B. Web- ster.
 Mrs Webster delivered her ac- cuations in a manner which left no room for doubt in the minds of other members of the board as to her feelings.
 Protesting against the numerous leaves of absence granted Miss Daisy Lord, president of the Wa terbury Teachers association and an executive of the National Edu- cation association, Commissioner Webster stated her belief that Dr Thomas J. Condon, superintendent of Schools, had taken upon him. self powers rightfully belonging to the board.
 "A blatant case of collusion," i" Mrs Webster said, "since 1t is ob- vious that the superintendent has granted 1t. If the chairman of the board has also granted these leaves 1t would appear that there is also collision on his part"
 In order to remove any linger- ing traces of doubt as to hre pre-. else meaning Mrs Webster then neatly and concisely defined the word.
 "Collusion," she said, "may be termed "secret cooperation!"
 Of Miss Lords recent trip to the west, Mrs Webster commented that she could see no necessity of anyone from this city making trip ito advertise Waterbury" That duty, she maintained, was the function of the Chamber of Commerce.
 "The west is not so uncultivated that Waterbury can give its people any pointers on educational meth- ods. "Mrs Webster said. "rhe truth of the matter Is that our are considered to be in a static position, or in the words of MT Micawber, status quo'."
 "The board of education and its should attend to the education of the pupils here in she said.
 17 Teachers Named.
 Appointment of the slate of 17 teachers, who have for the past
The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-02-05

several years been drawing sub- stitutes' pay, also drew fire from Mrs Webster.
 She said she did not sign the recommendation because 1t was unfair and discriminating" It was, unjust to those who have been on the waiting list for years, she said. Mrs Webster contended that the persons named in the rec- ommendations had received the appointments because of political affiliations"
 She referred specifically to a relative of President John Walsh of the board of education.
 "Your niece" she said, twas graduated only in 1882. others should have had the same oppor- tunity to acquire needed experi- ence. Some were obviously ac" counted for and taken care of be- fore being submitted to the com. mittee on teachers"
 Short Notices.
 Mrs Webster also claimed to have received insufficient notice of committee meetings. She said she had not been notified in two in- stances until seven minutes before the sessions. She brought with her to the meeting an itemized account of Miss Lords leaves of absence. and those of other teachers. and in which she pointed out that Miss Lord had received leave 76 times since September, for 15 weeks re- ceiving full pay.
 Board "Gassed?"
 Members of the board listened to Mrs Webster's remarks in stony silence and adopted the recommen- dation. Commissioner Vincent Mill Ter later proposed and secured the passage of a motion asking the rules committee to draw up @ reg ulation whereby future leaves will be granted only by permission of the board and salaries will not be continued unless 50 specified.
 AS intimated in the Democrat in a previous article, the substi- ute teachers will be given the status of regular teachers begin ming with September term, and on the approval of Mayor Frank Hay es. These teachers are as follows:
 Crosby High school, Samuel Mey- CTS. German. Mary Schmidt, En- glish and history.
 Leavenworth High school, John sirica, machine shop. Jacob Rlegsr general science and physics. Paul Perazelli, fundry. Charles Tang ney, electric shop. Marion Keane, algebra. James O'Neil, geometry. Anne M. Devereaux, history and languages.

 Elementary schools, Sylvia B. Nearman, Bucks Hill school, grad es 6 to 8; Dorothy George, Lincoln school, grades to {; Christina Shanahan, Bucks Hill school, grad es 1 90 4: Katherine V. Flaherty Slocum school, special class.
 Those granted leaves of absence in addition to Miss Lord are LOT etta Buckley of Wilson school for four months to attend Columbia; Newtown w. Alexander of Wilby to attend Reserve officers school at Fort Benning, Ga.; for three months and Cecilia ID. Jackson oi Wilby, for one week on account oi illness. With the exception of the last none are to receive salaries.

Can't Use It

Cant Use It
 Sister Borgia has not made any plans concerning any possible
 share that may accrue to her be- cause she does not know whether
 she is to inherit anything. It is be- lieved she would be allowed to &C.,
 cept 1t but would be required to turn 1t over to the mother house of her order, where 1t would be
 used for the community of nuns. She has taken Q VOW of poverty and therefore would not be allow cd 1t for personal use.
 Her share would probably be about 5000.
 She said her uncle was born In
 Ireland. He has visited in Connec. tlcue but never resided in this state to the best of her knowledge. He never visited in Naugatuck, she believes. She said her uncle was always hard working and thrifty and this is how, she believes, he acquired such a large sum.
 MT Sugrue had kept to bimself. cooked his own meals and repair- ed his own clothing. He dressed
 modestly in Lowell and gave no
 indication of having more than enough to meet his bills. He paio cash for everything he purchased
 and generally used change or bills of small denominations. Bank books showing deposits In banks of Lowell, Boston. Law. renee, Havehill, Andover and Cam bridge were found. The owner of his lodging house and other
 occupants of the house knew little
 about Sugrue. He came to i've
 there 10 years ago after he retired from work in the Lowell mills. A woman lodger found him lying on the floor.
 He was 7e years old. He wal buried in Derby this morning. 4 service was held at St Peters church, Lowell, at 9 a. rn., and

Famous Maple
 Tree RemoUed

Park department employees yesterday cut down the large maple tree that stood for years i'm the center of Chase avenue, and automobile drivers were glad because to them 1t was . menace to traffic. To-day the em- pIoycs were saving 1t into hre- wood. Its trunk bore many . scar from automobiles that came upon 1t suddenly.
 Irwin w. Harrison, superlnten- dent of parks, ordered the tree removed. Automobile drivers complained about it's presence ever since Chase avenue became { q popular route from the city to Whtcrville.
 A year ago last fall, two Cor. nell university professors on their way to the Yale Bowl to a football game crashed into the tree and in addition to having their machine destroyed, suffered painful injuries. Their civil ac- tiOns against the City of Water- bury were settled out of superior court here last fall. The men were driving over Chase avenue the night before the football game, having been routed that way because of repairs being made on ThOmastOn avenue.
 Petitions for the trees removal had been forwarded to the park department I'm the past. but 1t was Miss Helen Chasc's wish that the tree, a bcautifN1 speci- men, be not disturbed, and so 1t was allowed to stand. Of late. decay set In and the tree started to lose its beauty. 1t would only have been a short time. Super- intcndent Harrison stated to-day, before the tree would have cOnI- plctely routed. 1t Is expected that the stump will be removed by blasting.
