lia yards. The cars ran away and with passenger trains.
 it's project for further erection of the rip rap wall here, WPA job, has been approved by the government, and work will start almost imme- diately, it was said today.
 The total cost of the work will be $53, ,953.40 of which the government will pay $41,38560 and the town, $12,567.80. As usual the towns share will include truck hire, equipment, etc.
 This project is most extensive. It is planned to build the wall on the west side of the river north of the Union City bridge for a long stretch and under this plan, land which is now used as a dump and which has encroached about 30 feet on the river will be dug up and eliminated so as to conform with the river line. The wall will adjoin property of the Eastern Malleable Iron company. | There has never been a wall on that | side of the river.
 On the east side from the end of the Naugatuck Manufacturing con- pany wall north to point well past Weber's corner, the wall will be erect ed. In the fall floods, much damage was done there and part of North Main street was flooded when the river came over its banks. A me- chanical crane will be used in this work.
 In addition the wall near the Mag iluaskas property on Hotchkiss street will be erected. It was washed out at one time there. At the borough board meeting last night, Burgess Anthony Tangredi brought up the matter of the wall as concerns the MazilauskaS property and during the discussion, Burgess Joseph Nygren said the Naugatuck Chemical con- pany is present dredging and widen ing the river and making higher its banks on the west side in order to prevent damage from floods. Steam shovels are being used. In the recent flood, the company's basement was damaged.
 Warden Sheridan said that part of the bank on the east side opposite the Chemical company plant will be cut away in order to widen the river.
