 Frank J.

 He also indicated that the popu- latiOn of the city of Waterbury is probably over the 100000 mark. A report based on state board of health figure in 1885 showed that the city probably had a population of about 1O4,O0O. The 193O census lists Waterbury with a population of 99,9O2.

The new 1886 Waterbury City directory, including Naugatuck and Watertown, is now being de- Iivered with 65,66O names, not including the names of wives who appear following their husbands name, or those under twenty years of age.
 The directory shows 8 sixty five per cent change over the 1885 is- sue. Seventeen per cent have been dropped by death or removal, twenty-one per cent have moved into the territory or become of age, and twenty-Seven per cent are listed as changing their home address, occupation, or marital status.
 There is an increase of 800 names in Waterbury, including Watertown, and using the ratio of two to one, recognized by di- rectory publishers as 8 fair basis of estimating population, would give this area 8 combined pOpu- latiOn of 113,680. The federal census of 1880 was 1OS,O94.

Refusal Of Local
 Musicians To Play
 Starts Controversy
Community Celebration Held Without Music-WPA
 Men Play With Union, Federal Band-Park " Department Questions Status of Players

Declaring that the "WPA Music Projects" is one of the greatest rackets that he has ever heard of Rev. Patrick w. Flynn, pastor of the Church of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel, stated that he intends to write directly to President Roose- welt asking for an investigation as to the operation of the local WPA band which failed to appear as scheduled at the Feast celebration held by parishioners in honor of the church patron. Father Flynn said that William E. Derwin, of the park department who supervises band engagements was satisfied to have the band play on Town Plot and had issued orders to that effect. A few hours before the activities were to commence, Father Flynn said that he was called by MT. Como Vendetti, band leader, and notified that the band could not appear since 1t was competitive job.
 < @ Community Affair. &
 Father Flynn said that he was further told that the musicians on the project could not fill engage rnents for any private organization. Since when have our churches been private organizations? asked Father Flynn. "The fact that more than 5000 people attended the fire works display last night proves conclusively that it was a com 11unity celebration"
 Mr. Vendetti stated that he re- ceived orders from New Haven, state WPA headquarters that the band could not appear at the cele- bration and when he approached local officials of the park depart r1ent he was told that as far as they were concerned the band would play at Town Plot and there would be no change in plans.
 Union Protested
 Charles Durbin, president of the local musicians union when ap- preached on the subject admitted that he first contacted the New Haven offices of the WPA and .in- formed officials that committee in charge of the celebration had raised money and were in posi- ten to hire a band. MT. Durbin asserted that as president of the local 1t was a duty to help find work for many of the musicians

Special to The DemOcraD


 Nauagtuck, July 21.-All the plas- ter in the ceiling of the lobby of the post office hSs been removed here in order to insure safety of persons using the place, it was learned today from Postmaster Frank T. Green.
 A considerable portion of the ceiling fell several weeks ago and fortunately nobody was in its path at the time. Since then an irlSpec- ton has been made, Postmaster Green said, and more loose por- tions were found,' so 1t was felt advisable to remove the rest of the ceiling.
 An engineer from Boston is ex- pected here the latter part of this week. After inspecting the condi- ton of the ceiling he will make plans for putting in new one.
 MT. Green said that no more of the ceiling fell but he thought it best to take no chances on the matter.

"When we were told that the WPA musicians had failed us we engaged this band to play on Sunday night also and they were paid an addi- tional $6900. ODuring their engage ment for which they collected $137, our committee had secured only $38 through donations. This is the money apparently referred to by MT. Durbin."
 The attitude of the union presi- dent in selecting hired band was criticised by the committee in charge of the celebration for when the band was seated on the plat form at least 8 half dozen of its members are also included in the WPA ensemble directed by MT.
