Communist candidate, show en-
dorsement of Republican candidates
by the Union party; change the
listing Of the parties by placing the
Union party fourth on the ballots,
after the Socialist party, two down
from the Republican ballot, three
down from the Democratic, which
calls for the top lever, as usual.
Cost of printing the ballots, thus,
will amount to considerably more
than last year, it was predicted.
The question of obtaining money
from the contingency reserve fund
of the board of finance will be
raised at the finance board meeting,
but statute requires costs of cleo
ton must be met.
Disagreements
Mr.. Leary has had repeated diff
culties this year in the matter of
the ballots and the voting machines
following disagreement over con-
tracts for carpenter and electrical
work at the polls, let originally
through the controllers office to
union labor. The matters now
have been adjusted due to the trans
fer of the contracts for the work
to union labor.
But costs of the election have
been doubled, by one difficulty or
another, and the money allotted by
agreement of Griffenhagen g. Asso-
ciates and the economy committee
of the finance board was exhausted
some time ago.

Chances Fair

Chances Fair
 1naSmuch as a new system of hav- ing the Board of Public Works take recommendations from the city en- gineer, then pass the matter to the Board of Finance, which passes the recommendations on to the Board of Aldermen for action, is now in vogue, due to the delays occasioned by Con- troller Sherwood l.. Rowland and his refusal to cooperate in the mat ter of approving acquisitions for chance of success for these applicants is viewed as obscure by various officials today.
 Although the state WPA off, cials have been instructed to place , ,000 more on WA rolls immedi- ately, the question of Waterbury's share in this increase is problemati- cal because of Controller Rowland. Ordinarily, such an order would af- feet Waterbury to the extent of pos- sibly 1000 jobs, inaSmuch as the city is industrial in character and many employees have been laid off during the present busines reces- sion.
 City Meets Share
 Currently there are about 1,200 men laboring on WPA projects for which Waterbury projects can pro- vide work during the next five The city, after delays oc- casioned by the controller, was able to provide $1O9,000 from the approx innate $114,00O actually available from bond funds, to meet its share
