from obsolete piano boxes or old orange crates. Another, he said was little more than tent of tar paper.
 Claims of the board of directors of the association were denied. They said that "by no stretch of imagin- ation could the trolleys be altered to conform with the building re- strictions in the deeds to the land"
 The association is said to be req dy to seek court injunctions to force the removal of the trolleys. It is apparent that injunctions will be necessary, for the three Water bury trolley owners are going to "hold the forts until there isn't any fort remaining" One of the troll ley owners is a member of the Wa terbury police force.
 No Action
 The Democrats informant, who requested that his name be with held for the present, stated that at a meeting of the association, pre- vious to the session when the board was ordered to take action against the trolleys, no mention was made of the possible action toward their removal. He said that at that meeting the trolleys were discussed but the majority of the members were of the opinion that nothing would be done about them. It was said that this meeting was held two weeks ago Saturday.
 Refutation of certain claims in regard to the size of the buildings, as made by the board of governors, was also offered by the trolley dwellers. The board of governors claim that the deeds restrain the owners from having buildings of size less than 24 by IS feet.
 Additions Planned
 It was stated today by one of the owners of the cars that his deed called for a building 18 by 20 feet. He stated that his trolley car could be very easily made to conform with that restriction, and he has plans to do so.
 An addition of 10 feet will have to be made for, according to Charles H. Chapman, manager of the local division of the c. R. & L., eight feet, six inches. The length the widest trolley cars were only is 40 feet.

RADIO APPARATUS
 TO BE INSTALLED

Work in the installation of broad casting apparatus at police head quarters for the new police radio system was expected to begin this afternoon or tomorrow. Sergt. George Chatfeld said this morning that a temporar set of towers would be erected and that after they had been vigorously tested the perfna- nent towers would be placed atop the City Hall.

 first became acquainted with chiropractic in my work as a news reporter. My editor assigned me to cover the story of a little girl, born blind, whose sight had been restored. On this tnveStiga- tion learned from the child's father that he had spent consid- erable sums on specialists with out any benefit to the child and their unanimous verdict was that the case was hopeless. Her sight had been restored by 8 chiroprac- tor who had been treating six months.
 met the chiropractor who had effected the cure and ever since that time I seek 8 reputable chiropractor. For the past ten years have been in Washington and for six of them he had been my friend, my physician and ad- visor.

Lightly
BY DAVIS J. WALSH

NEW YORK, Jan. 23.-Joe
Louis doesn't know it yet, and
won't, until a few hours before ne
goes in the ring with Bob Pastor
one week from tonight; so I'm
telling him now that the Pastor
people are going to give him the
business" on a private agreement
they made with him about bandag-
ing the hands for purposes OF that
fight.
1t will all come suddenly to a
climax at the weighing in before
the boxing commission next Fri
day afternoon, just as last sum.
mer the Schmeling crowd waited
until the official carpet was under
their feet before exposing their
hole-card.
The Schmeling crowd, I under
stand, had verbal agreement with
Louis whereby the rules. covering
the amount Of gauze and tape,
were to be waived.
Ran Ruggedly
But all that ran ruggedly 1or
E. Pluribus Sweeney as soon as
they got the chips down and Joe
Jacobs was even in Louis dressing
room with a tape measure before
the fight in order to be certain
the then maximum Of five feet
was not exceeded. He had been
backed up that afternoon with
a commission order, saying in
effect that rules were rules, no
matter who didn't like them.
Louis doesn't, for one. He proved
that afterward by having the Off
cial limit raised to seven feet OF
gauze, plus two feet of tape, for
the Jack Sharkey knockout late
in the summer, and, even with
this concession, he's still proving
it by entering into "side agree
ments," apparently with everybody
he boxes here.
The idea is that Louis has ten
der hands, which apparently need
more protection than the average.
1t is also apparent that the extra
two feet he got for Sharkey did
not suffice; otherwise, he wouldn't
be back now insisting upon off-the-
record agreements, by which he
supposedly is to be permitted to
put anything on his hands from
a washgoods necktie to a boiled
New England dinner.
Far As 1t Will Go
I say supposedly" because
that's as far as it will go. The
mo limit" clause is even in the
Pastor Louis contract, I under
stand; not. of course, the contract
that goes down to the boxing com
mission as chastely engraved
souvenir, but the good, old Mccoy
papers the boys are expected to
level with and for.
That's the one on which the
Pastor people are going to suffer
a lapse of memory next Friday
afternoon and Louis will scarcely
be in a position to call attention
to the lamentable oversight, even
less so after Manager Jimmy John
ston, jr., of the Pastor camp. be-
gins talking about his inherent re
spect for the rules. Violate the
laws of this, his own, his sovereign
state?
Nossir. He's never done that for
anybody, and he isn't going to
start now. NoSsir.
