 Michael Casey of Ward street asked that a drive near his house be surfaced. He said refusal of one resident in that section barred per- mission for the town to put in street connecting Ward and Cherry streets.

FIRE HOUSE ROOF
 CAUSES SQUABBLE
No Settlement Reached After Discussions at
 Burgesses Meeting

Naugatuck, Nov. B. The question of the fire house roof caused con- siderable discussion at the Novem- Der meeting of the Board of Warden and Burgesses last night but no settlement was reached on 1t at the time of adjournment and after the meeting, the members went into executive session.
 It is believed that at this session the members scanned the bids re- ceived in order to get an idea on what specifications for the roof will be. At the regular meeting, most members seemed to be in agreement with the suggestion of Warden John J. Sheridan that a competent man be brought in as an adviser to suggest the kind of mat erial that would be best for 8 roof to replace the one there now which leaks badly. The warden said that after this the members would be better qualified to act on the bids and if necessary more bids could be received.
 When the matter was first brought up, late in the lengthy session Burgess Leo Brophy said he thought specifications as to the type of roof should be determined by the board first before the bids (aparently there were quite number of them) were read. MT. Brophy said he did not think asphalt would last long enough to give the service sought.

not see why MT. Thurston should have to pay for it now.
 Many Lights Sought
 The street light committee of the board seems to have its work cut out for itself soon. Burgess Fellows said residents of City Hill road near the Pond Hill chool feel street light should be erected on pole 60043.
 Burgess Raytkwich said people on Lines court near High street have asked for 8 street light and that more lights are wanted in the neigh borhood of quinn street, where much new development has taken place recently. A request for street light on Cherry street extension was also received. The person making the re- quest sad women are afraid to re- turn home there in the evenings be- cause there is no light, there. All these requests were referred to the street light committe for invstiga- ton.
 A motion made by Burgess Eel lows was approved, ordering that stop signs be placed on the north side of Anderson street at the in- tersection with Spring street, and near or at the foot of School street where 1t meets Bridge street. Near accidents have occurred htere re- gently, MT. Fellows said.
 Melbourne Court Work
 Burgess Brophy recommended that a cable fence be put on Melbourne court to act as @ temporary safe- guard and that a sharp curve there be eliminated. He explained that to widen the street would mean a re- taining wall and would be an ex- pensive proposition. It is expected this may be proposed lates as a WPA project, but the fence and elimina- ton of the curve are to take place now. Near the Mangine property large boulders can be placed, MT. Brophy said. Warden Sheridan said some safety there is certainly need- ed. :,
 The warden said he contemplated work on Aetna street, Locust street and Melbourne court as part of a WPA project. MT. Brophy reported on the section of Scott street from Andrew avenue to Melbourne court and the warden pointed out waivers for agreement on grades and street lines must be obtained first.
 The board referred to the fire committee request by MT. Raytk- wich that fire alarm box be placed In the vicinity of Quinn and Fern streets. He said the nearest one to the new streets in that vicinity IS at the corner of Park avenue and Millville avenue, and explained there are many new houses on the streets. Sewer Repairs Planned
 The borough engineer was author ized to draw up a WPA proposal for storm sewer projects. Some of those which MT. Beardsley had listed were Spencer street, John street, May street south of Johnson street, sherman street near the Bristol home, Terrace avenue near the home of Mrs. Samuel Hopkins, Quinn street, upper New street or Grove street. Lewis street near the foot of Hunters Mountain, Noble street, Locust street, Shefiield lane and cul- yerts on Woodbine street, Union City road and on Mill street.
 Others may be needed and sug- gestions for these can be made later. It was explained they could be in- corporated into one proposal if 1t cost more than this.
 The warden said the proposal on Woodland street had been refused by the state WPA officials because

Naugatuck, Nov. 3-The borough is not liable for any accidents which result on land owned by the bor- ough on which abutting land own- CTS have encroached, Borough Atty. Henry Freeman said in an opinion given at the borough board session last night. MT. Freeman was asked for an opinion at the last meeting when 1t was pointed out Residents of some streets had placed steps from the sidewalks to their homes and part of these were on borough property. The question of who would be responsible in case of an accident on these steps then arose.
 MT. Freeman said in such cases, the encroaching property owner would be responsible and quoted au- thoritieS for his statement. The town is liable for defective side- walks andN must keep the road in good condition, he explained. He pointed out the term street includes the highway, curbs gutters and sidewalks.
 Further steps to drawing up a parking ordinance to cover the town were taken last night. The warden said the committee appointed some time ago had made progress and made notes of places where no- parking signs>were needed. Burgess Brophy said he believed parking on Meadow street near Salem school should be restricted to one side. It is a narrow street and autos park there now on both sides. Warden Sheridan said he had forgotten the makeup of the committee and was authorized to name another group of three to finish the work. He ap- pointed Burgesses Brophy, Fellows and Raytkwich. They will make necessary changes and the borough attorney will then be asked to draft 1t.

FIND CLUES IN
TORSO MURDER
9th Dismembered Body Of
Woman Found in Cleve-
land in About 2 Years

CLEVELAND, Feb. 26. (UP)
A trail of blood leading to the
lakefront and a story OF two men
in rowboat last night gave po-
lice two clews in Clcvelands
eighth torso murder in the last
two and one-half years.
Detectives found zigzag line
of blood spots leading to point
on Lake Erie's shore near where
the dismcmbered upper portion
of woman's torso was found on
Tuesday. Reports Of two men
seen in a rowboat in the lake Sat-
urday near the place where the
dissected trunk of the 25-year-
old expectant mother was found
led police to theorize that the
murder was committed late Fri
day night or Saturday.
Detective Sergeant James Ho-
gan. who has headed the hunt
for the mad butcher" known to
have decapitated six Of the eight
victims, said the men in the boat
probably were there to sink
weighted portions of the woman's
body. The arms and head Of the
torso had been severed, as if with
a large knife.

Sheriif's deputies, police and

been waiting for more than two
hours to storm the factory with
tear gas and clubs, mopped their
brows in relief rs the men filed
out.
Spokesmen for the S;t-downers
had announced an hour earlier
that the men would set fire to Il
government plane and destroy the
entire plant rather than submit to
arrest without the promise of re-
lease on their own recognizance.
District Attorney Buron Fits de-
manded unconditional surrender
OF the entire force.
Nylander and Sheriff Eugene
Biscailuz pleaded long and elo-
ouently before they were able to
break down the workers determi-
nation to hold the factory at any
cost.
Nylsnder and Biscailuz took
turns in arguing with the men:
They pointed out that continued
resistance would lead to violence
and probably bloodshed.
After more than an hour OF
listening. the Sitdowners confer
red with their leaders and agreed
to surrender.
Four doors to the big plant were
thrown open and the sit-downers
streamed out, many of them
laughing.
The men voted to surrender
after Nylander pointed out that
their occupation of the company
premises constituted a violation OF
the Wagner labor relations act.
At the same time, the men serv-
ed notice that they still were on
strike, would picket the plant, and
attempt to enlist the support OF
the entire force OF 5000 Douglas
workers. who were laid off when
the sit-down was organized Tues.

The speaker discussed the two
types of the disease - acquired
and congenital-and asserted that
the disease has been termed the
great imitator" because the same
symptoms that indicate the pres
ence of almost every other known
disease may also indicate the pres
ence of syphilis. Concerning ac-
CURED syphilis, he said that per-
haps as per cent of the cases not
acquired through contact of the
sexes are contacted through kiss
ing. Concerning congenital syphi-
lis, he declared that fully 70 per
cent of the babies born to syphi-
litic mothers may be saved from
the disease if such mothers re-
ceive adequate treatment during
the prenatal period.
Early diagnosis and proper
treatment were urged by the
speaker, who concluded by saying
that "public health is so impor-
tant that Henderson county can
i'll afford not to have a full-time
health officer with adequate help"
