The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-05-08

Vt t1e urSC meeClng or the new board of warden and burgesses Monday night at g o'clock, daylight saving time, in the borough court room.
 The meeting is expected to be an interesting one and it is believed there will be the usual party lines drawn on the vote for the proposed candidates for oface, with the three democratic burgesses lining up for the democratic candidates, the three republican burgesses voting for the g. o. p. candidates, and the warden breaking the tie in favor of the democrat.
 AS the democrats hold the bal- ance of power, it is believed present officers will be reappointed. These Include Charles F. Daly as borough clerk; Mrs. Theresa Wilcox as as- sistant borough clerk; Jam e s Brophy as superintendent of streets; Andrew Bentley as build- ing inspector.
 It iS expected that Rep. Richard Durkin and William Mariana will be again named as members of the board of welfare for three-year terms, by the borough board. Their terms have expired and each year 8 democrat and a republican Is named to the board.
 It is not believed there will be any opposition to the suggestion that Robert D. Beardsley again be employed as borough engineer. MT. Beardsley is not appointed, he is employed"
 A plumbers examiners board will be named at Mondays session, 1t is believed. It is expected George Lambert will again be named to the board of relief.
 This would be for three years. MT. Lambert, Rep. Durkin and William Mariana composed the board last year, the charter providing at least one member of each party be on the board.
 To Name Assessor
 It is expected Rocco Mariana will be named as assessor for 8 two-year term, in the first year of which he would be full-time assessor. George Waite, part-time assessor, was naraed for two years last year.
 It is believed Mr.. Beardsley will be again appointed tree warden, a position which pays no money, and which he has held for a number of years.
 It is thought the board will de- termine what salaries local police men and firemne will receive this years. Money for this was provided in the borough budget, including 5% wage adjustments, but it is expected the board will have to specify or ap- prove the salary payments,
 The Naugatuck Hose, Hook and Ladder association will submit a list of its officers which the board will accept, it is expected.
 The appointment of the assistant street superintendent and the assist ant tax collector does not lie in the province of the borough board. The street superintendent names his as- sistant and the tax collector also appoints his assistant. It is be- lieved Harold Murtha will be re- tained as assistant street superin- tendent and James Brennan as as- Sistant tax collector.
 Financial reports and reports of departmental heads will be made at the meeting Monday and routine business wil be transacted. Much interest is being shown here in the attitude of the republican burgesSes at the coming session. They were unusually militant at the final meetings last year and were quite active in the past cam paign.
 No Welfare Meeting
 Although Monday night is the regular meeting date for the board of welfare, it is not believed any meeting will be held, it was learned today from Welfare Superintendent Leo Scully.
 The reason for this is that a lengthy season of the board of warden and burgesses is scheduled for Monday night and as the war; den could not attend the welfare board meeting, 1t seems likely that the meeting will be postponed until Monday, May 10.
 The appointment of the superin- tendent is scheduled to come up at the next meeting of the welfare board and committees for the year will be named.

 Some workers on other WPA pro- jects here will be transferred to the sidewalk job:
