A Freeze-Out? Court Attaches Don Wintry Apparel Judge Refuses
 to Remain.

The old question of "To be or not to be" was raised again today in the county courthouse where heat has been promised as of the first of October for several pre- ceding weeks.
 Althought fuel has arrived and two burners are said to be in a reasonable state of repair, the element of doubt is raised by ob- jections of various officials to a certain painting job which is pre- sumed part of the contract.
 Judge Edwin c. Dickenson of the Superior Court has taken 8 definite stand against holding of court tomorrow unless there is heat. Various employees have con- tracted colds and attribute them to working under Arctic conditions since the first of the month.
 While fall styles indicate var iety of color in sweaters, coats and clothing not always mentioned in the same connection, the employees feel that the condition at county court house should not dictate the vogue SO earl yin the autumn. Necessity of using the sweaters of other seasons has caused various attractive misses to remonstrate and the completion of heating ar arrangements has no real bearing on later styles developments this year where they are concerned.

Early reports were that an oil lamp might have been knocked over or even exploded, but Chief Edward Francny of the Wolcott Volunteer Fire Department has maintained from the first that ther ewere no oil lamps used in the house and 8 burning lamp did not cause the blaze.
 There was considerable discussion today on the question of Q stove, but firemen who were engaged in fighting the blaze Sunday night said that there were traces of one in the ruins. Both Chief Pracny and Deputy Chief Edward Theriauls affirmed today that they had seen a stove in the blazing cottage while they were engaged in fighting the blaze.
 Wolcott officials are of the opin- ion that MT. Meyer was engaged in burning rubbish left from clambake that he had held Sunday afternoon and that he was evidently just pre- pairing to leave for Waterbury at,the time. A bundle of clothes, clasped in his arms, lends credence to this latter theory. Whether or not ne was overcome by smoke or in some way was SO blinded that he could not grope his way out of the cottage will probably never be known.
 An official finding on the tragic fire has not yet been filed.

|NO NEW CASES
 | OF PARALYSIS
Number of Patients in State on DecIine-LOCaI
 Victim Isolated

With no further cases of infantile paralysis reported in Waterbury to- day, Dr. Edward J. Godfrey, city health officer, remarked that he felt the danger of disease is at mini mum here.
 "The occurrence of the disease at this season is unusual because the fall weather is not conducive to spread of the germs" the doctor said today. "As in most diseases where epidemic is possible, the catching of the germs depends on proximity of those infected and, inasmuch as there has been only one actual case of infantile paralysis in Waterbury this year, the concern of this department is with persons who take their families on visits to towns where there are many cases of the ailment."
 Although the report of last weeks figures by the state board of health showed 8 decrease from 16 to Il cases of infantile paralysis, there were numerous cases reported dur ing the latter part of August and during September. Residents of Waterbury should exercise care, Dr. Godfrey indicated, in visiting cities where there are cases of the disease.
