an overwhelming majority are in favor of supporting a good plan to keep the village.
 The following statements were made by chairnen of committees this morning.
 Armand Blanchard, chairman of the French racial group: we, the French group, met last Friday, and feel that if there are enough inter ested persons, state ofacisls might be approached with some pan to keep the village going and asked to make some financial appropriation. ,"
 Reverend Peter Dzubay, Russian committee chairman: T think it would be 8 good idea to keep the village open if some plausible scheme could be. worked out and I feel that the members of my com mittee are of the same mind"
 WithhOlds Opinion
 Charles Dreher, chairman of the German racial group: T feel that I cannot make any definite statement until I am advised by my commit tee members"
 J. A. Sundin, chairman of the Scandinavian group: we are abe solutely in favor of supporting any good plan to continue the Settlers Village"
 Alderman Charles F. Sciullo, chairman of the Italian committee: By all means try to do something about keeping the village open. I'm sure the Italian group would be in favor of some cooperative plan"
 Alderman John w. Bendler, chair man of the Lithuanian group: "The village has served its purpose and now that there is no further inter est in the location, it should be closed"
 Keep It Open"
 A representative of the colored group, speaking for Mrs. Alexander, chairman, who is not in town at the present time: T feel that the gen. eral opinion of our group is to con- tinue to keep it open if possible and to support some financial plan which would be workable"

It is likely that the discontinuance will be recommended to the aldermen as failure to answer summons to a hearing is taken to indicate that the property owner absenting him. self is in favor of the the petition before the board.
 Bank Protests
 To the engineering department and the corporation counsel went protest from the Citizens and Manufacturers bank to the effect that the pavement on Piedmont street encroaches on the property of Mrs. Editrm Cough. Sewers have been completed, Supt. Fleming re- ported, on Piedmont street, from Cypress to Baldwin streets, and on Watertown avenue. Hearings on assessments will take place at the next meeting. Supt. Fleming also informed the board that a hydrant obstructing driveway on Ridge street will be relocated while the WPA is relocating the water main in the street.

PYROMANIAC IS
 STILL AT LARGE

Lynn, Mass, Sept. 30-- (UP)-De- spite vigilance of a special police detail of 100 men, a firebug who has terrorized the city for the past five days still was active today.
 Choosing the hour when many residents were attending reception to the Fraser all-star baseball team, winners of the national sandlot championship, the pyromaniac fired two houses and a barn last night, bringing his arson total to 12.
 Last nights loss was estimated at $2.O00. Mrs. John Mahoney saw flames leaping from the barn be- hind her Congress street home.
 Shortly afterward the torch was applied to a three family house on Henry avenue. Occupants formed a bucket brigade and extinguished the flames.
 The third fire was in a tenement building. and six families were forced out. The blaze had been started in trunk in the basement.

Declaring that the assesspents against property owners would be prohibitive if the project was car- ried out, the board of works last night voted to table the proposed plan to layout Lakewood road from North Main street to Wolcott road. It was estimated that the assess ments would total about $30,000. Considerable opposition was voiced to the plan by property owners and Mayor Frank Hayes asserted that in view of the fact that the road is not a main artery it would be an imposition on property owners to go through with the project. Even if the board approved the layout, he said, he would veto it.,
 Road PaSSable
 Representing the Warner family which owns approximately 1000 front feet of the 2,60O foot road way, Attorney Finton Phelau point cd out that their property would be assessed about $8,00O. Further more, it was explained, the WPA has done considerable work on the roadway and it is now in 8 pass able condition. Superintendent of Water Thomas J. Fleming explained that the layout was desired chiefly because the present water main passes through private property. He was instructed to shift the main out into the highway, proper.
 Action was also deferred on the petition for the discontinuance of the building line on the westerly side of Edson avenue from East Main street, 30 feet northerly. Three appeared for the discontinu-

Congressman J. Joseph Smith of waterbury, democratic candidate for reelection in the fifth Connecti- cut district, will speak over station WATR at 6:15 o'clock tonight on "The Advantages to Youth Derived from the Roosevelt Administration. " Congressman Smith has been speak ing over the "voice of Waterbury" since Monday night and will con- tinue to do so up to Friday evening. Last night he pointed to the sub stantial standing of the banks of the country today as compared with the situation when President Roose- welt took office three and one-half years ago. &f
 Tomorrow night Congressman Smith will go on the air over WATR at 6:30 o'clock. The time of Friday evenings address has not been decided as yet.
 Contrasting Figures
 In his address last evening Con- pressman Smith pointed out that during the three and one-haf years of the Roosevelt administration only eight national banks failed and that during the past Il and one-hat months none has closed its doors. During the four years of President Herbert Hoover 1,035 national banks failed, he told his eager radio audi ence.
 Last evenings radio address was devoted entirely to banking legisla- tion passed under President RooSe- welt. Attention was called to the federal deposit insurance act, a measure conceived and administer in behalf of the people of the en- tire nation. He referred to the measure as one which has amply proved its soundness. He called at tention, also, to the statement o1 Governor Landon, g. o. p. candidate for president, made at the conven- ton of the American Bankers as- sociation in September, 1883, ID which che Kansas chief stated ex- ecutiye predicted that the deposit insurance act, if enacted, would completely destroy the entire bank ing system or the naClou.
 The Record
 Congressman Smith pointed out that not only did 1,0S5 national banks fail under Hoover but that 2O7 failed to qualify as to sound ness so that they could reopen after the banking holiday ordered by President Roosevelt. Under .Presi- dent Coolidge, furthermore, 533 na- tional banks failed in four and one- hauf years, he asserted. During President Harding's reign 91 banks failed in period of three and one half years.
 Referring to state banks, Con- gressman Smith noted that less than 40 such banks have failed in the last year as compared with nearly

where July wheat advanced the full
5 cent limit.
At the end wheat was up 29s to
cents. July S79s cents, corn was up
" to "a cents, July 61B cents. Goats
was up " cent, July 25% cents.
All traders turned TO the buying
side of wheat soon after the open
ing, in response to reports of dry,
unfavorable weather conditions in
the northwest spring wheat sec
tions. Prices leaped upward. The
Minneapolis market led the upturn
when July reached the full 5 cent
limit set by the government. There
was good buying of all future by
commission houses. Steady buying
of wheat futures was the feature of
the bulge. There was no aggressive
pressure apparent and what offer
ings appeared were easily absorbed.
Corn prices advanced in sympathy
with wheat. The large receipts ov-
er the week END, however were a
check on the upturn. Fair local de-
mand was regarded as short cover
ing.
Dry, hot weather conditions in
parts of the oat territory stimulated
considerable interest in the oat
market and prices showed a firm

Rye advanced in sympathy with
