City May Foreclose
 To Complete Project
Charter Prevents Payment of $l5O to Property Owner
 Who Owes City Tax Money; Program Delayed

1 the board of works asked the board of finance to instruct the controller to make the payment.
 While Mayor Frank Hayes, speak ing as chairman of the board of public works, described the condi- tion in EdgeWood avenue necessitat- ing the sewer and remarked that the city may get into serious trouble over the cesspools there if the sew CTS are not constructed, the board voted against the payment. Alder manic President Patrick M. Perriel- 10 asked If the city couldn't take the property for non-payment of taxes and the mayor said that this might have to be the method eventually of obtaining the right of way.
 The bond of Commissioner Tripp, as treasurer of the surplus resource sinking fund, was held up due to the fact that there is no appropri- ation to provide the $100 for the $10,000 bond. The matter will be held up until transfer can be made in December from some available appropriation.
 In the matter of turning in the more than $2,000 received as prem ium on the $1,085, ,OOo in bond, sold recently by the city, to the surplus resource sinking fund the board voted to determine legal procedure for using this money to pay for printing the bonds and other ex- penses undertaken by the city in the issuance of the debentures.

Although the city stands to lose the results of months of work in at- tempting preliminaries to the in- stalling of sewers on Edgewood ave- nue, and residents of the section, who have sought the sewers for more than year may have to wait indefinitely, Controller Sherwood L. Rowland, backed by some members of the board of finance yesterday, refused a cash payment of $50 to John B. Hull for the final right of way necessary to start of the pro- ject.
 'sIt seems a shame that the char ter keeps us from doing what we ought to do," commented Commis- sioner Harley w. Tripp.
 T wouldn't pay it. It looks like a hold-up to me-" remarked Con- missioner Major w. Judge.
 The controller, citing that MT. Hull owed several thousand dollars in back taxes, had refused to honor a requisition for the payment al- though City Engineer Charles A. Root had informed the controller that MT. Hull would not accept pay ment in any other form, had in- creased his fee for the easement to $500 when the payment was delayed.
 The board of public works had re- uuested the controller to make such payment but the latter had called to view a charter section which, he said, prohibited such disbursement when money is owed in taxes. Then,

TORONTO, CANADA, HAS TAXI STRIKE

Toronto, Ont, April 8+(UP)- Approximately 670 of Toronto's 720 licensed taxicab drivers were on strike today for higher wages and shorter hours.
 The strike was called by officials of the recently formed Toronto Taxi Drivers Union. Refusal of the Toronto Taxi Owners Association, to which most of the city's largest operators belong, to confer with the union before the Ontario labor and industry board or to negotiate with the union direct was responsible for the strike, union leaders said.
 The drivers sought $1250 minimum weekly wage, plus 10 per cent of all fares, a 6O-hour six-day week and union recognition. AS an alternative demand the union is seeking $17 as straight weekly wage for members.

By NEA Service
 Washington, April 8-The Civilian Conservation Corps, depression-born agency designed to take underprivi- legged boys from the street corners and make men of them, is entering it's sixth year, generally recognized as one of the most successful of New Deal experiments.
 Most people are familiar with the general accomplishments of the eco, its work in the forests, it's clearing of swamps and streams and the heroic action of its men in times of flood and fire disas- terS.
 Continued argument aver the eco in congress and elsewhere has focused attention on the agency from time to time as con- troversy continues over how it should be operated, whether it should be increased or decreased, whether 1t should be operated more, or less, along military lines.
 But now, after five years, comes the query: Just what is a CCC boy? Who are these young fellows upon whom the taxpayers have spent $40O,OO0,000 and who now find their best immediate oppor- tunity in the CCC?
 Fechner Draws One
 Director Robert Fechner has the answer. Using information compiled from mountains of statistics, Fech- ner now can paint complete DOT trait of a CCC boy.
 He calls this average young fel- low George Mason"-selecting name at random-and here is how the hypothetical George" shapes up:
 First, he is an American citizen, 20 years old, unmarried, free of communicable disease, and with a family that needs help. George completed grade school, but was unable to go to high school. He was out of work seven months be- fore he joined eco.
 Sends Money Home
 Soon after he joined, George started sending SPA per month back home to the three persons partially dependent on him, who in 55 cases out of 100, are rural residents.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-04-08

, Physically, here is how George shapes up now, after five years in the CCC: He is five feet eight in height and weighs 147 pounds.
 And what of Georges future? Well, he has an excellent chance for private job. Every month during the past fiscal year about $500 of his comrades have left the corps to take private employment. If not one of the lucky ones, George has served 10 months and re-enrolled, as many of his 100000 fellows are doing in these days when jobs are scarce.
 Gets Some Training
 Meanwhile, George is being given some additional training and prac- tical experience in the job of which he shows the most skill or inclina- tion-perhaps auto repairing.
 George watches with consider able interest the fate of appropria- tions and discussion of eco policy in congress. He knows that in 1940 the eco will go out of ex- istence unless congress decrees otherwise.
 George Mason" is typical eco boys. He is one of 100000 young men on whom Fechner says the agency has "exerted a mighty influence in conserving American manhood, a priceless national asset"

NAVY PICKUP
Discounting the bear stories,
you know that during the past
week there has been a definite
pickup on the Navy squad. The
men have mastered their assign
ments, and the attack is ready to
move. This is most encouraging
to Navy men, who are looking well
beyond the game today. Virginia
comes to Annapolis next week,
and after that game, Navy hurlS
itself into a succession of major
games from which there is no re-
spite for the duration of the sea-
son. Yale, Princeton, Penn, Notre
Dame, Columbia and Army are
the teams to be met.
Navy will start today with the
same lineup that defeated Will

flashed brilliantly at intervals last
year, is far better halfback now
than he was then. He and White
