Naugatuck, Sept 11.--Warden John J. Sheridan met Mir. Parker, state highway department officlal this morning at 10 o'clock here for Q conference concerning removal or covering over of the trolley tracks here.
 Prior to the meeting, the warden expressed hope that the borough will not have to pay this year the annual amount 1t pays for state work on the tracks.
 Since the meeting of the board of warden and burgesses last Tues day night, the warden has been giv- ing the problem special attention. With the replacement of trolleys by busses here, there Is no longer any need for thetracks here and bur- gesseS felt at the meeting that the tracks should be removed.
 Since that time the warden has conferred with state highway de- partment officials, he believing quicker results might be obtained by this means. As a result of his work, MT. Parker was sent here to- day to 90 over the situation. Warden Sheridan explained to- day that there is Q crew of work CTS in Beacon Falls patching up the road now and they plan to come to Naugatuck soon.
 The warden stated today he has been informed that they will not patch the space between trolley kNa Alph HASA taAAaaaaA AR of trolleys.
 This will mean that the town will not have to pay the annual amount this year, he said. In past years the borough has expended amounts ranging from $l,500 to $l,e00 for work on the sections between the tracks. The state contributed a similar share and the trolley com- paily had the third share.
 Expense to End
 Indications today therefore were that this expense to the borough has virtually ceased. The warden and the state highway representative will talk about the possibility of having the tracks removed.
 At the Tuesday meeting, the bor- ough board recommended the state order the trolley company to Tee move the tracks. Autoists here will be pleased if the tracks are remov- cd. as in winter time they constitute Q t1afilc hazard.
 Of course when the tracks are re- moved the state will bear the entire expense of repair of Main street as 1t Is c state highway.
 Attending Conference
 walter Norwash, president of the Young Republican club here, Thomas Talbot and Edward Hogan are in Portsmouth, N. H., today attending the convention of New England Young Republican clubs. They will return to the borough tomorrow.

 The August meeting was @ quiet one. Some proposed Improvements in the Town Hall may be discussed at the session Monday. The super intendent vii lgive his financial re- port. This will show expenses of the department for the five months of the fiscal year ending August 3l.

Figures for all departments except the welfare one were contained in the report of Borough Clerk Charles Daly, announced at the meeting of the board of warden and burgesses Tuesday.
