Flood Relief Estimates Reach $538, ,OOO
IVAGRANT SEIzED' BOTTLE OF WINE
Captured in Exchange Place With Evidence
 Given 30 Days

Having ignored a warning given in city court yesterday to leave town by 6 D. m., John Wesley, colored, 54, of Boston, was given a 30-day jail sentence by Judge Edward Mascolo today. He was picked up last night after stealing a bottle of wine from an Exchange Place package store.
 In court yesterday on vagrancy charge, Wesley agreed to leave the city by o'clock last night.
 But it was after 2 o'clock when Patrolman Albert Dereskevice arr rested him as he weaved through Exchange Place, pumping into ped- estriars. In his hand was a bottle of wine.
 The wine was traced to the pack age store, and later it was learned that Wesley had attempted to take a bottle of liquor from a North Main street package store and g handful of cigars from an East Main street tobacco store.
 Wesley claimed he bought the bottle of wine in the North End, only to have the court shown . la bel on the bottle which bore tht name of the Exchange Place pack age store which reported the loss.

City Engineer Plans
 For Condemnation
 Of Several Properties
Eleven Buildings to Be Razed If Plan Is Accepted; Riverside St. Residents Protest Excessive Cost;
 Legal Opinion Asked on City's Duty

Condemnation of property and the laying out of the Naugatuck river flood area formed portion of a plan considered yesterday at a spe- cial meeting of the board of public works to attempt finding some permanent panacea for the flood con- ditions complained about by prop erty owners and residents of River side and Bank streets. Finally, the matters were referred to Corpora ton Counsel Charles s. O'Connor for opinion as to procedure and whether the city is obligated to do the work.
 The plan submitted by the en- gineering department would cost about the same amount, $538, ,000, which was estimated earlier and to which the petitioners for relief ob- jected as excessive. It calls for wid- ening of the river, taking property on the north side of North Riverside street from Summit street to point opposite the gas works.
 Properties Needed
 Taking of all or part of properties between Summit street and the gate of Riverside cemetery, 16 properties in all, with tearing down of II build ings, acquisition of the other five land properties, would be required under the proposal. In this case the city would have to pay damages to those affected but the charter pro- vides that other property owners would have to pay an equal amount for benefits, making the damages and awards equal.
 City Engineer Charles A. Root has insisted throughout the controversy over ways and means to provide re- lief for the numerous property owners and residents of the area that the only permanent aid would be a general widening project, and that dredging the river, which drops only six inches in a 100 feet, would be money wasted.
 The matter of damage by the river oFerfowing it's banks is only one part of the problem as the waters back up, in some cases, and storm

Ruling On Interest
 Lessens Tax Boost
Two Mills Possibly Saved By Charging Amount as Part
 of Current Years Deficit-Teachers Attend Meeting

Two mills of the anticipated tax rate increase next year was carved from the prospect of heavier taxa tion last night by the board of finance. The method outlined by Commissioner John H. Goss, ap- proved by Griffenhagen & Asso- ciates and Corporation Counsel Charles s. O'Connor as to procedure calls for elimination of $266,000 in bond interest payments from the budget for 1889, charging this amount, instead, as part of the current years deficit, thus payable immediately after the first of the year from the surplus resource sink ing fund.
 Current Changes
 Commissioner Goss explained that the bond interest charge actually has been accruing during this year and it was agreed that this accrual during the last four months of 1888 properly represents current charges, hence will be chargeable to the surplus sinking fund after Jan. 1. The $266 900 rep SentS almost mills in terms of grand list of $167, 100000, and prospect now is for about a 3-mill increase to provide for payments o1 $953, 900 in maturing bonds, part o1 this amount to be provided by various economies now being devised in the 1889 budget preparation.
 Under present conditions, Com. missioner Goss stated, the surplu! resource sinking fund has frozen assets and the charter makes i necessary that the city provide ir subsequent budgets for payment al. ready provided in fund by collection of back taxes but untouchable due to the charter stipulation. Hence it was advocated that the General As sembly be asked to change this DOT tion of the charter affecting use ot the surplus resource sinking fund.
 So long as the bond interest charges are not paid this year, and the last payments were made in July, they will remain obligations of this year in 1939 While large sums are available in the surplus resource sinking fund. only that part paid into the fund between January and May can be paid out during this year, it was pointed out. The estimated deficit of $383,00o which is being carried through this year can be cancelled similarly after Jan 1. Commissioner Goss explained his stand on the matter.
 "The surplus resource sinking fund is an accural of funds, but they are frozen under the present act the practical effect of which is tc require the city to make appropria- tions for expenditures which have already been made"
 The controller was instructed tc enter on his books all interest &C.,

cruals as of Dec. 31, as charges against this year.
 Teachers Present
 A large delegation of teachers, with Superintendent Thomas J. Condon and John J. Walsh, presi- dent of the board of education, at- tended the meeting per agreement that they would be allowed to be present when the school department budget was considered. The board went into executive session for this matter but it was reported that the controversial recommendations of the audit firm, calling for cutting of personnel and closing of several school houses, is due for rejection in the most part.
 A petition signed by about 100 merchants and opposed to the drastic cuts in the school depart ment was presented to the board and Mayor Frank Hayes asked Miss Daisy Lord, president of the Tea chers' association, whether the teachers sponsored" the petition, referring to the matter in humorous tone, Miss Lord denied that this was the case, saying that the peti- tion was entirely voluntary"
 Fire Changes
 A protest of the fire board against proposed cutting of personnel anc closing of three firehouses was re- ceived and Commissioned Goss re- marked, "Too late"
 The fire department budget ha. been tentatively approved and it was reliably reported that the recom- mendations for dropping personnel eliminating offices and closing fire houses have been discarded.
