 Looked ''Upsonlike"
 Pinned on the estimate of deficit of $S17,047 as interpreted from the audit report of Griffenhagen & As gociates, the resolution for an in- vestigation of all city departments was offered from printed matter in extra-legal form commonly used by Republican Town Chairman j. Warren Upson by Republican Alder
 manic Leader George L. Kingston Reserve ammunition" evidencing presupposition that Democratic Leader Alderman Thomas P. Kelly would object, was a list of so-called sidewalk inspectors" whose salaries, top $35 weekly, were cited as exam ples of the economies which might be effected.
 Reminder by Alderman Charles P. Sciullo that Aldermen Kingston, c. Arthur DuBois, William Kol- beck, Republican wheel-horses, had voted for the budget, answering the contention of the resolution" that "actual receipts will fall short of estimates" unless there are reduced expenditure" failed to embarrass the side at bat much. Publisher William J. Pape strained forward from his spot in the second row to see how the boys were doing and, with most of the audience, got his share of laughs out of the tail wagging body ponderosity of the Re- publicans' legislative efforts.
 Rounds Given in Detail
 A round-by-round account of the affair would run somewhat as follows:
 Clerk John P. Fitzmaurice reads formal motions and descriptions of previously cited bond issues and these are passed unanimously, with clerk instructed to advertise for bids. They formerly had been approved by the board of public works and the board of finance.
 The board set up appropriations from WPA funds of $109,393 for projects in Town Plot, Mill Plain Robinwood, Fairlawn, South Main street, Delaware avenue, the golf course, and Chase park, to which the government will add about $4OO,OOO for the Waterbury WPA program of the next five months. Additionally, there were appropriated 312,O26 for a project on Abbott avenue, and $8,958 for project at Fulton park, these two programs to provide work for 323 men who were threatened with loss of their jobs when the project on which they are working is finished next week.
 Controller Rowland had held up WPA work pending this function of three boards, finance, public works and aldermen, refusing to honor acquisitions for materials in some instances. The form of appro- priations now satisfies all concerned, including the Republican control lei's office, 1t was reported.
 Kelly Is Still Mentor
 Alderman Kelly continued his role of mentor to the Republican mo- tions, correcting procedure so fre- quently that the Republicans finally presented their verbal offerings with heSitancy and waited to second the due form of their changed presen- tations as the Democratic leader re- phrased them. Aldermen Kingston, Dubois and Joseph Reiner fell most frequently before the charter stip- ulations with which Alderman Kelly dressed their motions for formal appearance of the parliamentary.
 Then came the rumblings of battle. The veto of Mayor Frank Hayes was read for the Alderman Thomas F. Bane delivered Republi- can motion of last meeting, seeking to canvass all voters in the city by delegating power to the registrars of voters to employ not more than 20 persons to complete this search for irregularities.
 Veto of Mayor
 The mayors veto, based on an opinion of the corporation counsel regarding the impotence of the reg istrars to appoint city employees" felled the Republican post-election attempt to obtain recount" so to speak, of the voting list. A sum of $4,000 was sought to provide for group visit to all persons whose names appeared on the 1887 voting list to ask them questions concern ing their births, naturalization, first and the like.
