PLANS COMPLETED
 FOR TESTIMONIAL
Chief Inspector Joseph P. Stevens to Be HOnOred
 Thursday Evening

Final plans have been completed for the testimonial banquet which will be held in honor of Chief In- spector Joseph P. Stevens of the Waterbury police department this Thursday evening at the Hotel El- ton. Several hundred friends and acquaintances of the popular de- tective bureau head are expected to be in attendance.
 The committee has received many reservations from out of town for the dinner which will pay tribute to the thirty-five years that Inspector Stevens has spent in the local de- partment. Honor will also be paid him on his advancement to his present rank.
 It is of interest to note that In- spector Stevens has served under four police superintendents in Wa terbury. When he was appointed a regular patrolman in 1904 the late George Egan was superintendent of the small force that enforced law and order in the city.
 He then served for years under the well-known and still highly spected George M. Beach. Following him Joseph H. Mclean headed the his death occurring only within the last few years. It was during the present incumbency of Police Chief William J. Roach that Inspector Stevens was named the head of the detective bureau the late Captain Will jam Keegan.
 Departmental honors will be paid the guest of honor by g large dele gation from the local police depart ment, as well as many members from departments throughout the state. Members of the Knights of Columbus, of which Inspector Stew ems is an old member. are also turning out in full force to pay their respects.
 Attorney Vincent Scully will act as toastmaster for the occasion.
