as borough engineer. The engineer is not appointed for a regular term but hired by the borough which as- signs projects to be undertaken by this officer after his being vested with the title of borough engineer. No salary is stipulated when the en- gazing of the engineer is voted upon, although the engaging is by vote sim liar to an appointment being made.
 Action to secure the property on Rubber avenue now covered by the so-called Woolen mill pond, as a new street department yard site, may be taken. A report of a board sub committee requested to investigate possibility of obtaining new site for the street department garages and yard is expected to be submitted at the session. Draining of the pond, owned by the Naugatuck Mills which formerly was the old Durham Mills, Inc, would be necessary before the land could be filled in for establish rnent of @ street department depot. A second site has also been under consideration.
 Reports of the borough clerk and other department heads for the month of July will not be available for presentation to the board be- cause today is the final day of July and sufficient time to complete the reports in time for presentation at tomorrow nights meeting will be lacking. Reports for June are ex- pected to be acted upon for there was no meeting of the board keld in July and June reports have not been con- sidered as yet. Warden Sheridan will preside over the session.
 Tax Collections
 Until complete check of figures can be made in few days, the total amount collected of the $396, ,327 .84 due the borough via the 19-mill July tax assessment, will be unknown. Tax Collector James Fitzgerald re- ported receiving a large number of checks in the mails today, including several from large industrial corpor- ations. Today's receipts are expected to boost the total amount collected to above the $300,000 mark. A con- siderable number of taxpayers, par ticularly auto owners whose debts were small, paid both the 19-mill July and the five-mille December as- sessments this month rather than to wait until December to pay the smaller bills due at that time. The tax offlce will remain open until g o'clock tonight for the convenience of last minute payers.

SIX APPOINTED
 FOR CONFERENCE
Unemployment COmpensa- ton to Be Discussed at
 U. of New Hampshire

Durham, N. H., July 3l - Six Connecticut men have been chosen by their state administrations to participate in the Unemployment Compensation conference at the University of New Hampshire, July 31 to August II.
 Selected by James J. Graham, chairman of the Connecticut Unem- ployment Compensation division, the representatives are Emil Bsullak, G. Mack, Thomas Murphy, James Rosen, Phillip Trombley and George M Ewing.
 A pioneer venture in the direction of training administrative executives in the field, the conference will ex- anime detailed technical problems confronting the agencies, including major objectives, past and present United States laws and movements toward simplification, compensation and its relation with relief and other insurances, and organization and administration of state and fed- eral boards.
 Direction of the conference is with Dr. c. A. Kulp, consultant with the Social Security board and member of the Social Science Research Council. Other members of the stan are Dr. Eveline M. Burns, Social Se- curity board consultant; Dr. Mere- dith B. Givens, bureau of research and statistics director in the division of placement and unemployment in- surance, New York Department Of Labor; Raymond c. Atkinson. senior research staff member of the corl- mittee on social security, Social Science council; and Franklin G. Connor, acting director of the Pennsylvania State employment service

Naugatuck, July 31-Althcugh Re- publican members of the board of warden and burgesses may endeavor to force the issue, Democratic ma jority members may block any at- tempt to rame a successor to the late Borough Engineer Robert D. Beardsley at their regular August meeting Tuesday night at 8 p. rn., in the borough court room. Various factors tend to indicate the Jeffer- sonians may decide to defer filling the vacant engineers post, which is temporarily being filled by Charles Hitchcock, who was named by War den Sheridan.
 With the dismissal of 100 employees having greatly curtailed the Millville avenue improvement with other WPA jobs, the need for filling the post immediately may not be im- perative enough to warrant naming a new engineer immediately. Charles D. Curtis, who has served as bor- ough engineer several terms under appointment. by Republican regimes, is best qualified for the post for which the Democrats are said to lack 6 candidate, Because of Mir. Curtis past experience and service, he may be favored for appointment by c. o. P. board members.
 A report by Warden Sheridan on the status of WPA forces and the curtailment of local projects caused by the recent disrnissals may have much to do with the naming of an engineer at this time. Should ne- cessity compel the board to act irn- mediately to name a new engineer, the board may name MT. Curtis, who has been operating a private en- gineering business since his last term
