Office Re-Modeled
 On Borrowed Funds
Board of Works Gives Approval at Request of Con-
 trOller; Contracts on Bond Funds Delayed

Some days after Controller Sher- wood L. Rowland had completed re- modelling his office, request was re- ceived last night by the board of public works for use of an appro- priation for city hall repairs. Coin- cidentally, the controller wrote that he had found an appropriation" to cover the work and that, after Sept. l, he would transfer the funds back to the city hall appropriation Belatedly, the board of public works approved" such a procedure.
 City Engineer Charles A. Root re- ported that $5000 must be provided to replace pavement, manholes and culverts in Watertown which were torn up when the pipe line from the west branch reservoirs were in- stalled. Otherwise, he said, the state will likely do the work and charge the city for it.
 Approval Asked
 He asked, also, for transfer of two WPA appropriations to provide add ed employment for WPA workers by using materials already purchased by the government. The materials, he said, are worth $15,000 and he suggested transfer of $5000 for the Abbott avenue job to the Hamilton avenue project, and $3,000 from the municipal golf course job to the South Main street sewer work. The matter was referred to the board of finance for approval of the transfer.
 A delegation of Edgewood avenue residents made habitual appear ance, seeking to learn what had been done about sewer projects, sought for several months for the section. They were informed that Controller Rowland has refused to pay $l50 cash to John B. Hull, whose right of way is the last neces- sary for the work to start; that the board of finance had supported the controllers stand because the offer was made by tax delinquent who refused other tender than cash.
 Local Labor
 Vote of the aldermen that the S565 ,000 street improvement bonds be Used for work done by contract let by competitive bids, and that local labor be used except for supervisors, was tabled for study after Supt, of Streets Thomas J. Fleming reported that his department currently is doing work of Baldwin street which will have to be charged to the bond funds.
 Mrs. Mary Campbell offered to sell two lots to the city for $350 and Frank Campbell, representing her, said that this sum for the Burr

Waterville, April 20.-St. Michaels parish hall was filled to capacity last night as the parishioners of that church gathered to bid fare well and godspeed to Rev. Michael Heating, who had served as pastor the past three and half years. Father Heating was transferred to the pastorate of the Church of Sts. Peter and Paul April 1st. He was succeeded in Waterville by Rev. Francis Higgins who has been pre- viously pastor of St. MichaePs church in Beacon Falls. Father Heating came to Waterville to as- sume his first pastorate on July 28, 1884, when Rev. William J. O'Shea went to St. Margaret's as pastor. Previously, Father Heating had been an assistant at St. Francis church in Naugatuck.
 While the group was assembling Stuart Williams testers furnished several orchestral selections and played a march as Father Higgins and Father Heating, with their guests. Rev. Edward Morrison of the Church of the Blessed Sacra- ment and Rev. Peter Daly of St. Margaret'S curch, were escorted to their seats in the hall by John M. Lynch and George Heckleman, truS- tees of the church, and Mrs. George Goggins, president of St. Michaels Ladies' Aid society and Miss Mar garent Gunterman president of the Young Ladies Sodality of the Chil- dren of Mary.
 An enjoyable program of enter tainment was furnished with the following participating: Miss Joyce Andrea, dancer; Cliff Mirsch, bass soloist; Miss Cecile Deary, soprano soloist; Miss Barbara Rogers, dancer; Cliff Doolittle, guitar solo, ist and yodeler; five-year-old Ray mond Ahrens, soloist; St. Thomas Girls quartet in hill billy songs; George and Eileen Byrnes in an Apache dance speciality; Julia Cava- naugh, dancer; Sheehan and Gren- fer in guitar and manic selections; an Marcel Doucette, tenor soloist.
 Following the entertainment pro- gram the clergymen, church trus- tees and presidents of the various parish organizations took seats on the stage. Father Morrison briefly addressed the gathering and paid a graceful tribute to Father Heating with whom he had been associated throughout many years of study for the priesthood and service as priests. c.

street property might be deducted from taxes he owes tIe city. The land would provide outlet for a sewer on Burr street and the matter was referred to the committee on sewers
 Report was made that no money is available for a requested layout of Plank road between Englewood avenue and Knoll street and a pe- tition for the job was tabled.
 Mrs. Mary Luddy, of 11O1 High land avenue, returned to request building of fence between her property and neighbours and was told that this was private matter, nothing that the board could settle.
 Seeks Improvements
 Adolph Liebreich sought repairs on Cemetery road on Bucks Hill, rera airs on Bucks Hill road, lights and widening of the latter thor oughfare. The first matter was re- ferred to the superintendent of streets and the petitioner was told to file written petitions on the other matters so that layouts and assess ments might be made.
 A complaint of Leslie Rood, of 1rvington avenue, concerning crack ing and sinking of a sidewalk in front of his property was referred to Supt. Fleming.
