 Thanked By Pastor
lsnsoIal to The pernocratl

Prospect, July 20th-Rev. Richard P. Morrissey,, pastor of St. Marys church in Union City, officiated at the first mass celebrated in the Town of Prospect which took place yesterday morning with Grange hall being utilized as temporary church quarters until such time in the near future when suficient funds are available for the erection of 0 separate building. The premises were taxed almost beyond their capacity when more than 400 per. sons sought to gain admittance. Many were forced to remain on the steps leading to the upper floor of the hall where the altar had been constructed.
 Praises Spent
 Father Morrissey had high praises for the Catholic people of Prospect for their determination to have o church of their own. He expressed appreciation to Patrick R. Spellrnan for his donation of @ two acre tract of land on which the building Will be erected. The site is bounded on the south by the Prospect Union City road, and on the east by the new Waterbury Prospect highway. The land is directly opposite the summer residence of State Senator Joseph II. Lawlor.
 The enthusiasm being 50 great among the parishioners of the new church, members of the guild and staunch booster of the movement will meet tonight ct the home of MT. and Mrs. Emil Toscano to formulate plans to raise funds for the building @ structure suitable to the faith and devotion aS exhibited In yesterdays memorable turnout.
 Number Increasing
 Initial steps towards the estab. lishement of Q Catholic church in Prospect were taken several months ago when 0 delegation representing the town conferred with Most Rev. Maurice ?. McAuliffe, bishop of the Hartford diocese who designated Father Morrissey as pastor. Previous to yesterday more than 100 Catholic families attended mass In Union City, Naugatuck, Waterbury and Cheshire, selecting the church near- est to their homes. Parishioners state that there has been 0 great increase in the number of Cath ,olics in Prospect within the past few years and that the number is almost doubled ct this time of the year since many residents of other cities have summer homes here.
 According to on announcement made by Father Morrissey yester- day, mass will be celebrated in Pros- pect every Sunday morning at 9 o'clock,

LOCAL LAWYERS STUDYING TRIAL Unusual Interest Centered
 in Outcome of Accused Investigator

Members of the Waterbury bar were today looking forward with in- terest to the outcome of the trial in the New Haven city court tomorrow of Frank Cont, 32, former local resi- dent and field investigator in the current probe of activities oe lawyers here and elsewhere. Cont was ar- rested here over two weeks ago and taken to New Haven. He will face a charge of offering money to obtain an affidavit from Carmen Riolino, WPA worker, so as to bolster up a case he was preparing for his supe- riors against certain Elm City bar rister.
 Investigation of tactics of lawyers in New Haven county has been u1- derway for several months. Already two New Haven lawyers have been disbarred and 1t has been reported, unofficially, that evidence has been gathered by Cont and other if1veS- tigators against five local lawyers.
 The outcome of the Cont case to- morrow will have much bearing on the investigation here. Local lawyers feel that Conti's conviction will force the Investigators to start all ove7 again. It is claimed that Cont, on June 29th, last, offered Riolino $200 to testify or sign an affidavit against Attorney Daniel Pouzzner of New Haven, former city attorney.
 Cont was taken into custody here at boarding house on Hillside ave- nue. His counsel Is William F. Geen-

Shortage Of Skilled
 Laborers Not Likely
Upswing in Building Industry Not Expected to Af'
 feet Waterbury, Hartford Slower Than 1929

Using figures comparing the amounts involved In building per- Iiits issued here and in Hartford for the first six months of the year and 1920 as Q basis, there seems to be little danger of Q shortage of skilled laborers for Waterbury in the near future. Despite the fact than an increase of S72000 was re- ported in this line during the past month, the increase is not large enough to include Waterbury as one of the cities in the state which will face Q shortage because of on up. swing in the building industry as reported by the Federal Housing administration.
 Figures in Waterbury for the first six months this year show an amount of 9603,720 involved in building permits Issued ct the Charnb"r of Commerce, with the usual seasonal upswing in regard to the number of permits. Figures for 1929 show Q total of $i,ee0,S00 for the first half of the year.
 The fact that there are several skilled laborers employed by the WPA here and many more who have been forced to take jobs of 0 different nature because of the de- pression also seems to indicate that unless there is Q sensational and unforeseen rise in the building bus iness, there will be no dearth of masons, carpenters, electricians and the like in Waterbury.
 It is estimated there are some 100000 craftsmen in the populous centers of the country employed

 Tn Hartford the current building activity is about twelve times slow. CT than in 1929. Tn that year, for the first six months, permits were issued involving an amount of Q little over twelve million dollars, For the first half of this year they involve an amount slightly over the million dollar mark.
