Mayor Hayes stated that Con- troller Daniel J. Leary and himself will await the best market for municipal bonds so as to save the city any extra cost in the undertak- ing. ,. ,~ .s, t1a aWatertOwn Section
 The bond issue will be for $250,- 900 and will take care of, mostly, the construction of that section of the second pipe line that will pass through the town of Watertown through the right-of- now owned by the Connecticut company. The section passing through the town of Watertown, proper, will measure ap- proximately 7,l00 feet.
 Mayor Hayes stated that he and Controller Leary, in accordance with their past practices, will start the pipe line job and pay the expenses out of current assets until it is deemed best for the interest of the community to sell the $25O,000 worth of bonds which the legislature has seen fit to approve.
 VPPUItuNC AulC
 It is the aim of the city adminis- tration to sell its bonds at the most opportune time, Mayor Hayes and Controller Leary stated. The board of aldermen has already set Up an item in the 1887 budget, by a spe- cial vote a month ago, providing for the expense of the second pipe line job through Watertown. The city will spend for this project out of this item until the new $250,00O bond issue has been sold and the receipts from the same deposited in the general fund.
 Permission Granted
 The public utilities commission has granted permission to the Con- necticut Railway and Lighting com- pany to use busses on its Water bury -Watertown line instead of the present trolley cars. The transpor- tation company has been given the right of deciding when it wishes to dispose of the trolley cars. When ,tlie trolley cars are done away with and when the trolley tracks are torn up the city will begin its second pipe line through Watertown.

 lowed the report made by Mir. Har- ris to the mayor on January 1, the original having beeh made after a two months Investigation by the members of the local department of welfare staff. ~
 Reports Findings
 The findings of Mir. Harris are in part as follows: .J
 In his latest, study MT. Harris finds that there are 326 Works Progress administration workers who arc physically fit for unemployment and are under fifty years of age. He finds that contrary to the general supposition there are only 75 labor CTS in this group, less than one quarter of the total. He also finds that the number of building trades men is not as large as has been generally thought. They make up less than 8 seventh of the total number of workers. Among the higher grade workers, or so-called white collar group, are 5 college men, who have developed no partic- ulap vocation or trade, IA salesmer1, 4 accountants and bookkeepers, IT clerks and 10 musicians. r'~'
 According to the monthly business survey of the Waterbury Chamber of Commerce, there are nearly five thousand more men working in the city today than were employed a year ago. Furthermore, the number employed today is much greater than the number working in the best days of 1928 and 1929. During all this increase in employment 1t would have seemed logical that ev- cry man who had had former in- dustrial experience would have been re-employed.
 Type of Worker
 The job analysis of workers as is- sued by MT. Harris today is as fol- lows: tl. .4.4. ...oM t,..-.

Late Registrar

hood. Like all of the boys of the section, he was bent on hopping" the numerous trains that once passed back and forth on the old Naugatuck division railroad. The New England road also wasn't far away, and the trains on this line, likewise were popular among the young folks of the district, includ- ing all of Brooklyn.
 One day, many years ago, Henry "hopped' one of the pass ing trains. He was with several other boys. They made" it all right, but young Henry didn't. His leg slipped down, right under the fast moving wheels. Henry yelled with pain, but of course the train crew didn't hear him. They couldn't on account of the noise. The freight passed on, until the wheels of several of the cars had passed over the mangled leg. After going some distance ahead, the train was finally brought to 8 Standstill. Henry was rushed home, and surgeons called. But nothing could be done, and Henry lost the use of one of his legs. He had been 8 cripple since that day, of nearly 50 years ago.
 Waterbury had no hospitals then. His wounds, therefore, were treated by the surgeons in the old family homestead. The kindly neighbors expressed sympathy, and prayed diligently for the boys recovery. And he did live. But in those days, people seemed to scorn crutches as much as was possible, and Henry used to hobble as best he could back and forth from house to house, seldom if ever leaving the neighborhood. Private schooling was afforded him by his beloved mother, and later he took a business course in one of the city's private institu- tions. He got to be an expert on figures, and so at the beginning of the century, entered the office of the city comptroller. under the leadership of the well known and well liked, Mike Russell, now of Cambridge, Mass. From that day, until comparatively short time ago, Henry was identified with the various democratic ad- miniStrations.
 Nearly everybody around town knew him. He was pleasant fel- low to meet, full of fun, and good hearted. His spendings were mo- ticeable to marked degree in all social gatherings. His part of the financial end of the affair was never lacking. Really, according to his close friends, he was one of the freest spenders of his time,
 All of Brooklyn liked him. This was evident by the large number of former Brooklyn people who turned out at his funeral. Nearly every family of olden days over there was represented, both at the funeral home, and also at the church and burial services. Brook lyn seldom forgets. Surely, 1t didn't forget Henry OConnor.
 All of Henry's family had passed on, and so Henry made his home in the center of the city for the past few years. But Brooklyn was home to him, he al- ways said. Brooklyn people, and many others will no doubt. miss him. He was good company. happy and jovial. and fine In every way.
