Mistaken for solicitors" group Of
Washington women who canvassed
offices of members Of the House yester-
day distributing copies Of "riemoran-
dunn" on the controversial "red rider, !"
ran into unexpected police interfer-
ence and found it necessary to get
approval from Speaker Bankhead's
office before completing the job.
Ten women, headed by Mrs. M. o.
Lorenz of the District League of Wom-
an Voters. had made fairly good prog
ress in both the old and new House
ONCE Buildings when a Capitol po-
iceman attempted to stop them. The
officer thought Mrs. Lorenz and her
delegation were soliciting, which is
against the rules. Her explanation
to the policeman was not satisfactory
She was required to explain her mis-
sion again to the sergeant in the
police department office in the new
House ONCE Building He, too. failed
to understand and Mrs. Lorenz was
warned to leave the building
Norton Secretary Told.
Instead, she went to the Office Of
Chairman Norton of the House Dis
trict Committee and told her story
to the only person there at the time
Miss Marion McDonough, niece of
Mrs. Norton, who also is her secretary.
Miss McDonough telephoned Speak
er Bankheads Office A few minutes
later an attache in the Speakers Of
fice relayed the information that Cap
itol policemen had been instructed not
to interfere with the women as long
as they didn't wave a red flag"
The memorandum" circulated by
the women was prepared by the Dis
trict League of Women Voters and the
Washington branch Of the American
Association Of University Women and
called attention to the various organ
izations that have gone on record in
favor Of outright repeal of the red
rider" Copies were left at the Offices

was made by supporters Of the COM
mittee and the ruling went against
the majority voters.
The motion to discharge the COM
n1ittee was a first step in a plan to
move Endorsement of repeal of the
red rider, as proposed in the House
by Representative Kennedy of Mary
land. That second step was never
reached because of the parliamentary
contest.
During the wind-up of the long
contest. Henry I. Quinn. who is
member of the Board of Education,
moved that the federation adjourn
permanently" declaring that by its
actions "it has lost its prestige"
Resolution Attacked.
A determined group attacked the
resolution to discharge the committee.
Leaders in the verbal battle in sup
port of continuation of the committee
were James G. Yaden, former presi-
dent Of the federation; Harry N. Stull
of Staunton Park, Sullivan, Fred S.
Walker and Miss Elaine Eppley.
Arrayed on the side of discharge Of
the committee were Quinn, Jesse c.
suter. who presented. the resolution;
Byrd w. Payne, Harry S. Wender.
M. M. Mclean and L. A. Carruthers
among others.
It was along about GAS when the
fight started. Suter moved that the
customary order be suspended to per-
init consideration of discharge of the
committee and Endorsement of the
repeal legislation. Yaden promptly
made q point of order and was sus-
tained by President Lodge.
The discharge Of the committee
was then moved and parliamentary
debate resumed when Stull insisted
khe motion was out Of order.
At one point in this encounter Stull
suggested Suter was insisting on ac-
ton on the matter at last nights
meeting because he has been check
ing on who is here" Henry L DON
ovan challenged the remark by de-
claring he had not been "polled"
Mclean insisted "the federation
delegates are entitled to vote on
this issue and we want to vote" He
added Il don't think this special COM
mittee has been properly representing
this federation-," but Sullivan
shouted an objection.
Motion by Carruthers.
The first real test of sentiment came

committee TO report. This finally was

fifty pupils registered. At that time the school was located in the Cros- by building and classes were small. Leavenworth, at that time. was not in a class with Crosby or Wilby. But the registration today shows that it is right near the top, with total enrolment of some 1,180 pupils.
 The chart shows that the school has been constantly growing in size. One of the important fea- lures is the fact that each new year, with the exception of 1935-36, marked peak year in registration at Leavenworth. There was slight drop last year, this being the only one on the eighteen year chart. Crosby and Wilby's peak years were in 1932-33. Since that time their total enrolment has shown a slight drop or has remained about the same.
 The complete figures are as fol- lows: 1918-19, 50 pupils; 1919-20, 110. pupils; 1920-21, 130 pupils; 1921-22, 200 pupils; 1e22-23, no pu- pills; 1923-24, 220 pupils: 1924.-25, 240 pupils; 1925-26, 260 pupils; 1926-27, BIO pupils: 1927-28, $50 pupils; 1928-29, 370 pupils; 1929-30, 460 pupils; 1930-31, 560 pupils; 1931-32. 760 pupils; 1932-33, $50 pu- pils; 1933-34, 980 pupils; 1934-35, 1,050 pupils; 1935-36, 1,040 pupils; 1936-37, 1,180 pupils.

Estimates On Street Paving
 Job Underway
Critics of Paving Bond Issue Criticized Bill
 Protects City

Considerable time must elapSe be- fore the estimate of the cost on the city's monster street paving job is ready, according to City Engineer Robert Cairns. The engineering department is now working on plans for the program, the biggest of its kind in the history of Waterbury. Critics of the administration for its proposed plan to repave practically every main street in the city are in turn being criticized for making the huge improvement program a polit- tcal issue.
 Under the administration plan, a bond issue will be floated to meet the cost of the monster paying un- dertaking. The g. o. p. opposition is claiming that this will merely in- crease the cty's bonded indebted ness. The republicans, those of them that are opposed to the bond issue plan, are claiming that the paving should be done out of cur- rent revenue. 2,
 It was pointed out today that such move is not impossible. How ever, If the work was financed out of current revenue 1t would be nec- essary to impose a number of mills in, taxes on the property owners whereas the cost of the paving can be spread over 8 long term of years by financing the program with a bond issue. 4.
 Leading civic and business men of the city have joined the admins tration in the move to have the streets paved. The need of repaving the main thoroughfares has been apparent for many years but with the sudden decision of the trolley company to abandon the trollies and use buses, has opened the way to have the work done, hence the city, wide demand that the huge program be undertaken at once.
 Republicans are claiming that Mayor Frank Hayes had introduced in, the 1887 legislature blank pav- ing bond bill in anticipation of the demand of. the city's civic and bus iness leaders for the repaving of the main streets. The mayor pointed out that he merely introduced the blank bond bill so as to protect the city should it be decided to proceed with the paving program. Had he not introduced the bill before the final filing date, February 9th, the city would have been deprived Of a chance to sell bonds if the need arcse and the administration, it is pointed out would be termed negli- gent. The bill is on file in blank form and may be used and may not be. However, the city is protected no matter what happens.
 March 4th has been set as the date for the hearing on the street improvement bond bill. However. If the city engineers estimate of the cost of the undertaking is not ready at that time, the hearing will be de- ferred until a later date.

TWO BRIDGEPORT
 FIRMS ARE SUED

Two Bridgeport contracting firms are named defendants in 8 $20,000 civil action entered in superior court , today by Joseph Egan of this city, who claims he was injured as re- suit of negligence and carelessness on the part of employees of both companies. Egan was struck by 600 pound plate which slipped from a crane hook, while working as bricklayer on a construction at the Eastern Malleable Iron Company, Naugatuck. His injuries, which in- cluded a concussion of the brain and other severe abrasions and decorations, are claimed to be the cause of permanent physical impair ment. Attorney William B. Fitz- gerald represents the local man.
 At 3 o'clock in the afternoon of July g, 1936 Egan was engaged as bricklayer, and employees of the defendant companies, F. Ballantine and Edgerton & Sons of Bridgeport were at the work of installing heavy pieces of structural steel in and upon the same building. A crane was used to hoist the large and heavy plates. Through the alleged negligence of William Johnson and his instructor who was named Mo Cir, one of the plates slipped oil the crane hook and struck the plain tiff, 1t is alleged in the complaint.

Water Supply Group To Meet Again March 8
Study of New Pipe Line Project Urged By
 E. 0. GOss

Action on City Engineer Robert A. Cairns recommendation that the city construct 8 second pipe line from the third reservoir on the west branch at an estimated cost O. between $2,225, 900 and $2,250, ,0OG was deferred yesterday afternoon at a meeting of the committee on ad- ditional water supply. Another meeting of the group will be held March 8th and in the meantime an investigation will be made to ascer- tain whether or not WPA aid can be obtained. The proposed new pipe l.:1e would reach the city via Wa ttltown.
 There is only one pipe line now and that comes into the city via Reynolds bridge. The line is A years old. The second line would safeguard the city against a water famine should the line through Rev. holds bridge ever burst. In connec- ton with the second pipe line dam would be built at a third reservoir in Morris to impound many millions cf gallons of water.
 City Engineer Cairns pointed out yesterday afternoon that when the new line is completed the city can sell water to Watertown. The peo- pl, of Watertown and Oakville are now calling for water service. The revenue would be of value to the city, 1t is claimed.
 It is advisable to do the job now, MT. Cairns pointed out, because the trolley company soon will be rip- ping up its tracks to Watertown. The right-of-way could be used for the new pipe line, 1t is figured.
 Mayor Frank Hayes said that the responsibility fors ordering the job done is up to the committee on ad- ditional supply. E. o. Goss of the z ovill Manufacturing company, a member of the committee, advocat- ed further study before going ahead. The mayor informed the committee hat there is now a blank water t~nd bill before the legislature that can be filled out providing the work l: authorized.
