in the amount of WPA help given the city on sewer work, which was contained in the original bill, was eliminated in the amended form. If both assessments are paid at the same time, a rebate at the rate of 4 per cent per annum is provided.
 Senator Egan Silent
 Senator Edward P. Egan, who yes- terday said he feared that the measure would injure Waterbury's finances and cause large-Scale WPA layoffs, did not seek to engage in any debate today.
 The amended bill, as passed, to- day, is considerably different from the original version. The original bill gave property owners year to pay, which meant that the city would receive no sewer assessments till next year.
 The bill was opposed by Control Ter Sherwood Rowland and the Wa terbury board of finance, who sought unsuccessfully to have Senator Gull hane amend the bill to make it ef- fective Jan. 1, 1940.
 Cause Of Controversy
 The Culhane bill has been the cause of a lengthy and heated con- troversy in Waterbury and Hart ford. In the Brass City, the fi- nance board claimed that the bill would deplete the revolving. sewer fund and would cause the closing down of WPA sewer projects em- ploying from 700 to HOO men.
 In Hartford, Senator Culhane some weeks ago succeeded in hav- ing the bill passed by the Senate in its original form. But the Sem ate later reconsidered its action, and voted to table the measure in- definitely.
 It was taken off the table yester- day when Senator Culhane offered the amended version, but action was deferred at the request of Sen- ator Egan. In 8 move to have the bill passed yesterday, Senator Gull hare lost by a 15-13 vote.

Mr. Roosevelt's request that the

Britain Assured of

LONDON, Jan. 27. (UP)
Italy assured Great Brit
ain of its absence of hostile
intention against any nation
today as the powers awaited
official declarations on the attitude
Of Britain and Germany in Eu-
ropes struggle for power in the
Mediterranean.
The Italian assurances were CIV
en- in connection with the calling
up Of 10000 reservists for February
re- training during a month which
many diplomats fear will see d
showdown in the quarrel between
France and Italy. France has OF =
dered up reservists in advance OF
the normal training date.
Great Britain did not ask for
any explaining in connection with
the reserviStS, it was understood
but the Rome government volun-
teered assurances through diplo-
matte channels that the action did
not signify any hostile intention.
1t was administrative but not
political, the British were advised.
Meantime, interest centered on
the speech which Prime Minister
Neville Chamberlain will deliver
Saturday in which he is expected
TO make clear Britains determina-
ton to foreStall a new crisis in
Europes affairs if possible. Cham
berlains speech is believed likely
to be a discreet warning to Nazi
Fuehrer Adolf Hitler, who speaks
to the ReichStag at Berlin on Mon
day, against any new totalitariar
adventure"
This stiffened attitude on the
part of Britain already had beer
indicated by public warning from
Sir Samuel Hoare, home secretary
that the strength of the British
empire was irresistible in event OF
a great conflict.
Hoares speech followed a firm
stand against Italy by French Pre-
mier Edoua-d Daladier, who de-
clared that Britain and France
would insist upon withdrawal OF
Fascist troops from Spain when
tn ecivil war is ended. 1t followed
too a staged demonstration by
FascistS in Rome where the shout
OF "on to Paris!" was raised during
