eSAoAAS " Ae1AAW&J SSAAkeSAAJ " AS move trolley tracks on Main street here, Warden John J. Sheridan wal scheduled today to confer with 0 L. Chapman, 0. L. & R. O., of. ficial, upon the matter.
 The board meeting, although fair 1y lengthy, was a dull one with only routine business being discussed.
 Burgess Brophy brought up the matter of the trolley tracks here asking if the town has been ill. formed when the trolley company will remove the tracks. Buses are used here now instead of trolleys Each year the town has paid ap' proximately $2,000 for improvement, of the highway near the tracks and the state and trolley company have also cont 'lbuted to the cost of this work, 1t \ s brought out in the gen. eral discN sion about the matter.
 Warden Vohn J. Sheridan said hc took the matter up Tuesday with MT. Donnelly in Hartford and was referred to MT Hanlon, but said he planned to see MT Chapman today There is a trolley crew now working in Beacno Falls and the warden be- lieves 1t will come to Naugatuck
 Both the warden and MT. Brophy expressed themselves as being op- posed to the town paying any amount for the tracks as long as they have been abandoned. This would be regular state highway with the tracks removed or covered up, and of course the state woule then bear the full cost of repairs.
 Tn concluding the discussion, War den Sheridan remarked 1t would be an injustice for the town to have to pay $20o0 now.
 New Haven Road Job
 The burgesses talked for some time about the New Haven road sidewalk project. This has beer comp, ,ted in part but there is still 1,200 feet between where 1t now ends and where the property of the Peter Paul Candy company starts and 1,200' more to the end of the Candy company's land.
 Burgess Anthony Tangredi brought up the matter asking wher 1t sS planned to extend 1t to the Candy company. He latter revealed he thought that part of the project has been abandoned.
 Warden John J. Sheridan said that next year the rest of the work will be completed, that Is 1t will be extended to the Peter Pau e nk.~,, ETn avvIaiYaad it ia tAA io IA to 70 1t this year.
 I (e government has, since the proA ct started, ordered reduc. ton in government contributions to materials in WPA projects and as Q result the sidewalk project there was affected, MT. Sheridan told the burgesses. The town paid in nearly $l,o0o for materials on this project up to the present he said and only got from the government $250 worth of cement.
 It was brought out that If the town were to do the work now, it would cost about $l,00o, of which approximately $500 would be for materials and $350 for culvert work Tn this 1900 feet stretch therC would be no money returned from assessments.
 Burgess Tangredi, first believing no more work was planned, asked If the government is going back on It's promises. No, no, the Roosevelt administration doesn't dc that" the warden said. Tt must be, according to your story" MT Tangredi said. "The Roosevelt gov- ernrnent is Gods gift to the na- tion," the warden answered.
 Then the warden mentioned the work will be continued next spring with some low spots in the remain ing area to be filled in, and the matter was dropped.
 To Move Hydrant
 The matter of a hydrant there was discussed, MT. Tangredi feeling the present location is unsightly and Borough Engineer R. D. Beard. sley explaining that If 1t were placed back against the wall, Il would be difficult for use. It wal decided to move the hydrant which is near the Noble property, across the street. Burgess Tangredi said he has received some complainta about tree there but nothing was done about this, Burgess Brophy pointing out permission to remove 1t would have to be secured from the state.
 Fire House Bids
 The board called for bids on the repairs to the fire house roof. Some tentative bids had. been offered. The town plans to spend about Sl,b00 on this work. A slate or asbestos roof will be installed.
 The bids must be submitted before the next meeting, and the contract will be awarded ct that session 60 that the work can be completed be- fore winter really sets in. The new roof is badly needed. Burgess Brophy brought up the matter.
 It was decided to have the bor- ough engineer make Q survey of the property of condition of the sewer on Terrace avenue and on drainage conditions on Hillside avenue ex- tending down to Meadow street.
 He said in the recent storm the Terrace avenue storm sewer could not take the flow of water, and over- flowed into Mrs. Samuel Hopkins' property. It also ripped up part of the walk on the school property.
 He said the condition has existed for several years and after fixing the damages time and again, Mrs. Hopkins finally put in crushed stone. She now seeks to have the sewer condition corrected. 10th the warden and borough engineer re- marked 1t is unfair to Mrs. Hopkins to permit the condition to remain.
 NardeIlo Protests
 Charles Nardeilo made vigorous protest concerning the. placing of pipes across his lots on Woodland street 50 that sewerage of neigh bors may be carried to a nearby
