Board of Finance Informed By Mayor of Pending Transfer of Local Men Transportation Expenses
 to Southbury 10 Be Provided for By City

Two hundred Waterbury men will be taken from the welfare depart ment rolls and given WPA jobs, Mayor Frank Hayes informed the board of finance in communica- tion yesterday. Supervising En- gineer William E. Kennedy of the WPA had informed him, the mayor said, that 100 men would be given jobs at the state hospital under construction in Southbury, and the other 100 would be assigned to WPA projects in the city.
 At the request of Miss Grace White, supervisor of welfare, the board voted to transfer $3,000 from the contingency fund to pay for bus transportation of the 100 men to and from Southbury for the next three months. This action was ap- proved last night by the aldermen. Miss White said that removal of the men from welfare rolls, even with the cost of transportation, would result in substantial savings to the city and would send thou sands of dollars monthly into local circulation, through wages received by the WPA men.
 No-Action Taken
 No action was taken on sugges- ton from Acting Controllr James P. Purcell that street department items for wages and equipment be cut by $3O,OO0 for the remainder of the year and this sum encountered.
 The board voted a transfer of $818.34 from the contingency fund to the department of education to make possible pension payments to Miss Winifred A. Wood, retired teacher and school secretary. The legislature ordered payment of a pension of $1,025 yearly to Miss Wood.
 Transfer of $731.36 from the item for care of city property taken by foreclosure to the city pension fund was authorized. The funds are needed to care for increased pen- sions ordered by the legislature. The money is available because of the dismissal of watchmen at the isola- tion hospital and American Ring Co. property.
 Supt. of Streets Thomas J. Elem ing reported that 76 streets need re- surfacing and that no provision for
