The head of the firm, Frank
 (Frankie Burns) Santalucia was one of the contractors arrested un- der the Waterbury Extraordinary Grand Jury charges which related, in his instance, to the accusation that he was "a favored contractor" |" Also. listed in payments approved by the controller is Phillip Coppeto, likewise involved in the grand jury charges, who, as head of Abrigador Diggers, Inc, was reported to have received about $660,000 in eight years for work done either for the city or in connection with the WPA program.
 Members of the works board re- fused to sign the sheets as the war rants bear writing on the back of each indicating that they are meant for consideration of the Board of Finance members. Similarly, the police and fire commissioners have not signed the sheets at recent meet ings. The sheets show expenditures made in the departments supervised by the various city boards and are referred to the board members for perusal, 1t was reported.
 Members of the Board of Public Works commented on the numerous June payments to be made to several persons on the so-called favored contractors" list of the grand jury and 1t was divulged that Santalucia, owning considerable equipment, now is doing a large amount of govern ment work, as well as that in con- nection with the Waterbury-WPA projects.
 Throughout the time since Con- troller Rowland has been in office (January 3 there has been no question raised regarding the con- siderable amount of work done by the contractors who were named by the grand jury. Nor have there been questions raised as to the amount of equipment possessed by these contractors, indicating that the controllers office is satisfied that the rates of payment and the equip ment used meet all requirements.
 Based on a six-day week, the amount paid to Santalucia this year at the rate of $200 daily, would be in excess of $30,000 on the WPA- city work alone. His company owns several compressors, trucks and steam shovels.

 A most important feature of the work accomplished by the Parent Teacher association is the annual roundup, Thursday, June 30, at l o'clock, in the gymnasium of Sprague school. An invitation is ex- tended to parents of children who will enter school for the first time in the fall, to present their children for 8 complete physical check up. The roundup is held in coopera- ton with the state department of health, and will be under the super vision of Dr. Martha Clifford of Hartford, and her staff of assist ants, aided by Miss Mary Farrar of the Visiting Nurses association.
 Dr. Edward Godfrey wll be pres ent to give vaccinations against smallpox. It is especially urged that children receive this treatment at this time, rather than wait until school reopens in the fall.
 The children, attending with their parents, will be given a complete physical examination, their eyes and ears tested, and their teeth cleaned by dental hygienist who will re- port any dental work which should be taken care of. They will be weighed and measured free of charge. Because of the roundup results show that each year more and more children enter school for the Gfirst time with their physical defects corrected, before any perma- nent handicap has developed. Con- sequently they lose less time from school, because of sickness and do better school work. Mrs. Elmer Wilson of the local unit, is chair lady of the roundup, assis4ed by Mrs. Louis Willard, hostess, Mrs. N. J. Lorraine to assist the dentist and Miss Mary Farrar to help the nurse.
