Special Session Of
Board Not Essential
No Matter Pressing Enough to Require Assembly This
MontIn-New Report Card System Inaugurated

Naugatuck, Nov. l0--No special
meeting Of the board Of public vel
fare will be necessary before the
December session, superintendent Of
welfare Leo Scully said today. Nc
melting was held last night because
Of q lack Of @ quorum. The super
intendent said that as far as he can
see at the present time there VIII
be no matter pressing enough to re-
quire q special session this month
The superintendent's financial re.
port Is still encouraging. It shows
that the net expense for the seven
months Of the fiscal year ending
October 81 was $S4,S36.24. This
leaves q total Of S30,l64.76 from
the original $66.000 appropriation
to carry on for the final five
months OF the fiscal year.
Thus far the average per month
using the 434, 835.l4 as q basis, would
be N,o76, which Is continued for the
final five months would mean an
expenditure OF e24,8e0. This would
leave balance Of about $4,000 In
the department.
However the department still will
receive two state aid grants from
the state during the present fiscal
year. One for the period July, Aug.
list and Septemer and Is expected
soon and the other for the October
November and December quarter
will be received In February, 1t Ia
Anticipated. It Is probable the jan
uary, February and March credit
will not come In before the next
fiscal year although the superinten-
dent will try to get 1t. The state
credit usually amounts to o little
more than 5000 each quarter. So
this gives the department the OPP
portun!ty to spend more than their
average thus far and still have
surplus.

NEARING HELD J
| ON REVOCATION
Referee Wolfe Reserves
Decision on Local Liz.
uOr Permit Contest

State Referee Isaac w. Wolfe to-
day heard testimony Of witnesses In
the appeal Of Pasquale Albini from
II action Of the state liquor con.
troll board In revoking his tavern
permit, but reserved his decision on
the matter. Referee Wolfe heard
the case at the request Of superior
court.
More than q dozen witnesses tess
tined that Albini had attended his
business at least the number OF
hours prescribed by the law. It was
the contention Of the commission
that he had failed to do this and
that he was unsuitable Of person to
be allowed to keep q permit and
maintain @ tavern. Albini claimed
he was In the tavern 10 or IL hours
each day, and denied he was unsuit-
able OF person.
Inspector Kenneth Boynton. who
reported Albini to the commission
for his alleged failure to attend his
business, took the stand In defense
Of the commission In revoking the
license. The decision OF Referee
Wolfe will be returned to superior
court probably within the next two
weeks.

Thanks, Peter. I'll need IT,"
And when the neat little electric
clock on her desk told Julia 1t was
20 minutes until 3, she did fel as
II she would need oil the luck In
the world. More nervous than she
had ever been In her life, she fitted
on her hat, glad that 1t was the
smartest and most recent In her
meager wardrobe. Then, with a
final and careful look into the mir
ror, she pocketed Peters letter and
left the Office by the side door into
the hallway.
Downstairs she decided on the
extravaganza Of a taxi. after ALL"
she thought, IT don't want TO be out
Of breath when I get there"
The taxi drew her up before the
Green Club some minutes before 3.
But Julia paid the driver hurriedly
and walked briskly into the build
ing. She had managed TO screw
ter courage to the sticking point,
and she wanted to face Henri Lamb
while 1t was still there.
The pastel-green facade Of the
building was familiar TO her, and
she found the wide doors closed
but yielding TO her touch. When
she had stepped inside she was
astonished at the sight that met
her eyes. The big room was de-
serted now, and illuminated eerily
