CT has been shown from time to time where his interests are and how they have been protected iu town hall by thos officially in charge, and those supposed to use their authority in the right way. But, now, again, 1t is: Stop-Look- Listen.
 The constables were appointed to assist in traffic on the main high- way where the Waterbury water mains are being put in Two gooo men, but uninformed as to the fact that they must furnish a $1 QUO bond to the town, according to state law. If this Is not done within 30 days, Section 369, tells them their job is vacated and they have no authority. If, failing to comply with the above requiremtnts, they make any kind of an arrest or use their authority in any way, the town is liable for civil suit.
 There are enough civil suits against the town now, but they keep coming. The Home Owners Loan Association, interested in their holdings on Cherry avenue, 1t is rumored will shortly file claim for damages resultant from the dyna. mite blast which ruined the Me- GoWan homestead and Is still Ia process of settlement.
 The claim is made that five years experience fits persons for cer- tain job in town hall. Then, sure. ly after five years, one should have laerned that special constables must be bonded and stay on the job, keeping out of Oakvilie tavern, where the town car Is parked for an hour at time, and keeping out of distant dance halls asserting authority which special constable does not have.
 After five years of receiving mall directed to yourself as selectman, 1t looks as though you might be giving the orders. This rumor has been current for five years, However, we have enough civil suits against tn town right now. So, whoever is giving the orders Please Do It Rightl
 Despite any rumor to the con- trary, the voter Is warned that 1t Is absolutely impossible for anyone to tell ho whe voted. Current rumora saying 1t is, are wrong and calumnles of the worst type. Every voter Is always guaranteed the free dom and secrecy of his own vote, which remains his or her own busi- ness.
