 Is Accepted

London, Dec. 1.-(UP)-Italy will accede to the 1886 naval agreement signed by the United States, Great Britain and France, it was an- nounced officially today.
 A protocol attached to the treaty made possible the adherence of other powers at any time. The pro- tocol will be signed tomorrow at the foreign office by Dina Grandi, Ital- ian ambassador and David Man. tague Scott, undersecretary of the foreign office.

 In this connection Britaitn will notify Rome that the three overs have decided to invoke the treaty,s escalator clause to permit construc- tion of 10000 ton battleships. Bri- tain will add, however, that she will not build above 10000 tons provided other European powers respect that limit.
 Tfo reaty provided maximum ton mage of S5,000 tons for capital ships with l4-inch guns.

Delay ACTION
/ ON VACANCIES
Fire Board Not Expected
to Name New Captains
for Several Weeks

with two captaincy vacancies in
the ranks, several members Of the
Waterbury fire department are look
ing forward longingly to being Sc
lected by the fire board for the posts.
However, 1t does not appear that the
board contemplates early action and
It may be some weeks before two
captains are named.
The vacancies exist because OF the
deaths Of Capt. william @. Russell
and Capt. Thomas Mcmahon. Capt.
Russell, q member Of the fire mar
shal's staff, had held his rank for
some time, while Capt. Mcmahon
who died only few weeks ago, was
promoted only last spring.
Another vacancy among Officers
was caused by the death Of Lieut.
John Leary, but it is not believed
that a new lieutenant will be APP
pointed, since Lieut.. Leary, who was
seriously injured in answering an
alarm some years ago, was not on
active duty.
Numerous names are being men

cal subjects:

lotments for needed municipal build
ings, up to limit of $ls,150 900, on
the same terms allowed all other
cities. namely, IS per cent grant and
IS per cent loan, repayable in Is
years. The District Is now held to q
1910 ratio.

ing Authority probably will lend the
Alley Dwelling Authority at least $l0,-
600, coo and which also authorizes the
Treasury to lend the A. D. A. 81 .00O.-

possible a more comprehensive slum

poses In the last deficiency BILL this
session appropriated $48.l70,0O0 to
meet the expenses of the District for
the coming fiscal year And, with
the Federal share held to the St. .OO0, 900

new $5,l00.000 tax bill on District
residents, to avoid a deficit.
