The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-08-07

Naugatuck, August "A special election will be held here within the near future to determine whether or not sale or consumption of alcoholic liquor with meals will be allowed on Sundays here in To- cal restaurants, hotels and clubs. This was decided last night at the netting of the borough board.
 Borough Attorney Martin Gorm- lev submitted an ordinance allow ing such sale and after some ar rument board members decided to let thef reemen decide whether or not it is to be adopted. Burgess Qracy Noble, Republican, led the fight for submitting the matter 10 the freemen. He pointed out spe- cial election would not cost Sl5 and Burgesses Burkus, Tangredi and Raytwkich agreed with him. Burgess Joseph Dinneny said he thought the board should pass the ordinance but Burgess Noble then moved it be submitted to the free- men and no opposition was regis tered on the vote. No date for the election has qet been set. but It won't take place before 20 days, it as believed. It will be necessary to get 20 signers to a petition Tor such an election.
 A resolution expressing the regret of the board at the recent death of Burgess Adolph Schlosser was accepted and placed on file.
 Worth $1OO,OOO
 Atty. James Sweeney submitted the offer of the Futile family. The property given to the town has an assessed value of $92,565. This is rated as follows: house $3O.S S55, barn and greenhouse, $10,710 and land, $51,000. This assessed value is not the full value of the property of course. It was bought in 1871 by the late John Howard Whitte- more, George A. Lewis and Bron- son B, Futile. A large piece of land was bought at that time and MT. Tuttle took the property just given to the town as his third of the sale. Many years ago part ofthe land was owned by Daniel Beecher and the Beecher tavern for wayfarers, it being near the Litchfield pike, was situated there.
 It was left by Bronson Futile to his wife, Mary Futile, who be- uueathed it to her son, the late Howard B. Tuttle, who left 1t to his family.
 In naming restoration of pay for policemen, it was necessary to amend the borough ordinance. their salaries having been originally set by ordinance. When their pay had ben cut several years ago, no amendment to the ordinance was needed, however.
 All except one property owner on woodland street signed waiver for line and grades to be estab- lished on the street between High and Granite stretes. This person. MT. whitlock. will be natified to att tend a session next "Wednesday to state his objection.
 Approve Application
 An application of Eugene Bau-. dreau of IA Prospect street for a junk dealers license was referred to the chief of police for investi- gation.

Similar action was taken on the application of Jacob Sole witz of New Haven for such a H. cense.
