PUBLIC HEARING
 ON RIVER LINES
Board of Public Works to Hear Arguments on
 Flood Control

Hearings on the establishment of river lines at the scene of the Nau- gatuck river flood control project will be held June 13, it was an- nounced by the board of public works at a meeting last night. The project principally affects residents of Riverside street and nearby sec- tions.
 A report on damage from flood waters was submitted to the board last night by M. J. Daly & Sons, Inc, of 541 Bank street. Residents of the lower Brooklyn section have for months been advocating action by the city to eliminate periodic floods in that section.
 Commissioners Albert Loeffler and James Phelan at last nights meet ing announced themselves as op- posed to the proposal for the trans fer of the city yards from Benedict street to the Isolation hospital property on Watertown avenue. The plan has resulted in many protests from residents of Watertown ave- nue and Bunker Hill.
 In a letter to the works board, Supt. of Streets Thomas J. Fleming who first suggested the transfer, pointed out that there is no room for expansion at the present Bene- dict street headquarters. The prop erty there could probably be sold in the near future for a substantial sum, he said, and more than enough space for the street department is available near the Isolation hospital and Brookside home.
 A complaint against the storing of pipes and other supplies near the athletic field on Watertown avenue was referred by the board to the committee on land and buildings.
 Sewer assessments were voted against owners of property on the following streets, where sewers have already been laid: Virginia avenue, Melbourne terrace, Auburn avenue, Academy avenue, Atwood avenue, and Herkimer street.
 Little opposition to the laying of the assessments was expressed.
 The board voted to install a sew CT on Delaware avenue, where, it is claimed, menace to health exists through open sewage. Residents of the street had oppose the sewer, but members of the board inspected the street earlier this week and decided that the sewer is necessary. . It was reported that water billings last month amounted to $36,488.

rough stuff. They carry their sticks

These boys are all right, but with

that's what makes the rough stuff
so easy. You can take chance Of
piling into the other fellow or the
boards when you know you are
padded all over.
But what I can't understand Is
why they carry the stick so high.
They ought to keep it down on the
ice where they won't run into penal
ties and where there won't be so
much temptation to use 1t as a war
club.
Rough Stuff No Help.
"Of course these boys are just get
