Naugatuck, May 26-Some obser- Vers at the special meeting of the board of warden and burgesses Fri day night believe that the attitude of the republican burgesses at that session is an indication they will assume more aggressive style at the board meetings during the present fiscal year.
 The hints dropped by Chairman Harris Whittemore, Jr., of the re- publican town committee who sev- eral times. during the past political campaign stated it was the duty of the minority party to object strong ly to any move it thought would be detrimental to the benefit to the town, were borne out in the actions of the republican board members.
 All three republican burgesses took part in. discussions on contro- versial matters with Burgess Joseph Nygren precipitating the major arg ument by asking for a 10c increase for the street department workers instead of Sc an hour as suggested by the administration.
 MT. Nygren was not successful but he indicated he will not again quit a meeting of the. board as he did last year for when Burgess George Fellows accused him of being in- sincere, the same charge which caused the g o. p. burgess to stalk out of the room at meeting in the past fiscal year, Burgess Nygren only smiled at the accusation.
 Burgesses Anthony Tangredi and
The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-05-26

Joseph Raytkwich were also active at the session. One of the Signifi- cant things was that the republican burgesses, especially MT. Nygren and MT. Raytkwich, studied for about 12 minutes the reports of the borough clerk and the monthly reports of departmental heads before any vote accepting them was taken. Usually in the past the burgeSseS have merely scanned these reports and acceptance was a for1nality which often occurred within two minutes of the opening of the meeting.
 Of course the democratic burgess es and the warden were just as ac- tive at the meeting but they usually have been whereas last year there were few sessions where the three republicans adopted an aggressive attitude.
 Political observers believe the re- publicans are preparing now for the next borough election two years hence, and will be on the alert in the future for finding holes in the democratic plans. Interesting seS- sions of the board are anticipated now.

Naugatuck. May 26. = The property of Leon R. CorDiss, To- cal music supervisor, on Walnut terrace, is "beesy" place these days. A swarm of bees has light ed in the yard and in tho garage and are making them selves to home.
 Mrs. Corliss told the Demo- crat today that the bees were still there this morning and said that no plans are being made to drive them away.
 When it was suggested that probably MT. COrIiss might in- struct the bees in singing. she said they seem quite affable and might be apt scholars.
 MT. Corliss is keeping his car in the driveway until the bees finish their vacation. He is not worrying about it being stolen for the bees furnish ample pro- lection. He has always believed in the policy, Tive and let live" and believes it applies particu- Iarly to bees, especially since suits of armof have passed out. of fashion.
