look to the city fathers to lead us," he added and the approximate 90 persons present applauded.
 Commissioner James A. Phelan re- marked that the board had not the power to act on the matter but would recommend 1t to the board of aldermen.
 "Will you appear before themp" he asked the gathering.
 "We will," and Sure, came a chorus of answers, after MT. Me- Grath had said that he would ap- pear and that he hoped everyone else here tonight will, too."
 The recommendation of any re- lief possible was made by the pulp lie works commissioners for consid- eration of the board of aldermen.
 Sewer Project
 Alderman William -Kolbeck re marked that the special meeting of the aldermen was scheduled for to- niPht but various persons comment ed that another special call would have to be issued for considera- ton of the sewer assessment protest.
 Let's call up the president of the board of aldermen" suggested Eugene Sullivan, of 103 Woodtick road. He was informed that the mayor issues calls for special meet ings.
 "Then let's call up the mayor said MT. Sullivan.
 Gall the governor" woman cried.
 The rate for the assessment Is set by legislature on recommendation of the city, 1t was reported, and the Waterbury rate has varied in the last number of years, at one time calling for payment of $350 a front foot for sewer assessment.
 The delegation is expected to at- tend the aldermanic meeting tonight to seek some speedy action by the city fathers so that a bill may be devised before Friday.
 The situation assumes complexity from the political standpoint, what with the board of aldermen con- trolled by Republicans, the legisla- tive members from Waterbury being Democrats.
 Assessments
 Hearing were held on the follow ing street assessments last night:

In The Local Theaters
POLl'S

On the Loew-Poli stage this eve ming, at 9 o'clock for one performance only, is a gigantic headline vaude- vile show, brought to Waterbury di- rect from Broadway, and featuring such well known entertainers as Tom and Betty Waters, brilliant dancers who became the toast of Hollywoods Cocoanut Grove; Walter Walters, a ventriloquist who pro- vides real competition for the fa- nous team of Bergen and Mccarthy; Mackie and Paul, a versatile duo from New York's widely-famed In- ternational House; Ralph Fielder and Co., direct from a successful Broadway stage show, and complet- ing this star studded array of en- tertainers, dancers, singers, and comedians, are the Reeves Sisters and Morrison, presenting Varieties De Luxe.
 Furnishing the musical back ground for the show are Gus Meyers and the Loew-Poli theater orchestra. On the screen there are two superb attractions, and best of all-there is positively no advance in prices for this big combination event of stage and screen.
 Headlining the current screen bill is Charlie Chan in Honolulu, the latest of the very famous Earl Derr Biggers' mysteries.
 A challenge to Chan in his own home town!
 That's the case the famous sleuth faces in Charlie Chan in Hono- lulu" when a killer dares strike in the Pacific Island city-almost, as 1t were, on Chan's very doorstep.
 With Sidney Toler playing the Chan role for the first time, the mystery swiftly gets under way and the sleuth finds he is matching wits with a willy, ruthless murderer, who even goes so far as to make an attempt on Chan's life.
 Toler contributes an excellent per- formance, confirming the reports of Hollywood preview audiences. Fea- tured in the surrounding cast are Phyllis Brooks, Sen Yung, Eddie Collins and Claire DOdd.
 On the same program is Exposed" a daring story of a girl daredevil, featuring Glenda Farrell and Otto Kruger.

The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-01-18

About fifty persons who appeared last night to protest against sewer assessments to the board of public works, to seek a moratorium on pay ment of such assessments, plan at" tending special meeting of the board of aldermen tonight.
 Whether the protest will effect that which was suggested by at least two spokesmen last night, introduc- ton of e bill before the general as- sembly to provide for Tightening the burden of Waterbury taxpayers m the matter of assessments for sew CTS, remains dubious.
 Funds Needed
 The special meeting Of the alder men tonight is to follow a meeting of the board of finance this after noon, both for the special purpose of transferring enough money to keep $50 men employed on sanitary sewer projects being constructed by the WPA. Although the board of fi- nance was informed last week that the work must end, the men be dropped from the WPA unless more funds were forthcoming, only $2l0o was transferred at that time.
 The amount sought was $29,250 for a three months continuance. The board did transfer $l5,750 for storm water sewer work on which about 60 men are employed by the WPA.
 The fact that the aldermen are called to a special meeting for trans fers Is seen to obviate possibility that the matter of intervention before the general assembly in behalf of the protesting taxpayers can be ef- fected.
 But such a bill, in some form, must be presented before conclu- sion of the general assembly's Fri day session, deadline for presenta- ton of bills. Thus, the time ele- ment is considered most important by the citizens whose protest was accorded attention by the works board to the point where the lay ing of the assessments was deferred for two weeks.
 No Time Extension
 The board informed James Mc- Grath, 92 Hinsdale avenue, that 1t was "powerless" to change the eX- tension of time set by law for pay ment of the assessments on the five streets for which hearings were held last night. The time limit is 12o days. MT. McGrath sought to have the board importune the legislature for reduction of the footage rate, $250 a front foot, and extension of the time for payment of the assess ment.
 q think that the board and other city officials could do something for the people," MT. McGrath said. "We

STRAND

Lovable Shirley Temple and a great cast of veteran performers will entertain theatergoers attend ing the Warner Brothers Strand Theater today and until Friday evening, for starting with perform ances this afternoon Shirleys lat est success Just Around the Cor her" will be the headliner of this popular theater's new show.
 There's so much to laugh at, so much to love, and so many things to be remembered after seeing the picture that even the most glow ing comment. can hardly do justice either to the youthful star or to the delightful picture.
 You'll simply have to see 1t for yourself. It has not only been hailed by critics as the best picture Shirley has ever appeared in, but also one of the most entertaining of the season. Shirley is cast in her happiest role, one which allows her an occasional outburst of that mischievous humor which has met with the unanimous approval of au- diences who have viewed her past successes.
 Popular favorites who appear in support of the star are Charles Farrell, Joan Davis, Amanda Duff, Bert Lahr and Bill Robinson, who does a new dance routine with Shirley that is said to surpass even

Long Prison Terms Given Local Youths
Ten to Thirty Years Given Frank Zastaury in
 Bridgeport Court

Bridgeport, June 15. :. Judge Frank P. McEvoy in superior court here yesterday sentenced three Waterbury men to long prison terms after they had pleaded guil- ty to robbery charges and been described by States At torney LOrin w. Willis as hardened criminals" Frank Zastaury, 28, was sentenced from 10 to 30 years in prison when he pleaded guilty to charge of being habitual criminal. Broth CTS, Joseph, 31, and Thomas La Selva, 28, were given terms of two to five years.
 They all pleaded guilty to steal- ing an auto loaded with cigarets from Bridgeport salesman, May g. Zastaury, who is wanted in Wa terbury as bail jumper and to face a charge of breaking and entering, and Joseph LaSelva, were arrested at gun point in Stratford about an hour after the theft. Thomas La Selya escaped in another stolen car which he later abandoned in An- sonia. He was captured several days later.
 States Attorney William B. Fitz- gerald of Waterbury has lodged a bench warrant with Fairfield County authorities for the arrest of Zas- taury, who was scheduled to appear before the superior court of Wa terbury in the September criminal term, but skipped a $2,50O bond. The bond was posted by Elmer Herbst of Waterbury, and civil action has been taken by the state to recover the amount of the bond. Herbst has offered $500 in compromise of the amount, claiming that Zastaury is in the custory of the state at the pres ent time.
 The three men sentenced have records in Waterbury. The Water bury bench warrant for Zastaury will have to await the mans release from Wethersfield for service.

 The Queen, charming in white, followed in the car with Mrs. Roosevelt. She was looking the other way but turned a little just before the car passed by, making that characteristic and utterly charming little gesture with her hand toward the wildly applauding spectators.
 The parade passed on. A dozen more grim rumbling tanks, cavalry from Fort Myers, field artillery, and overhead roaring beat of fifty-two planes. White gloved hands came down from salute; cheers grew fainter in the distance as the par ade rounded the bend by the treas ury building, and Washington's well come to Great Britain's reigning sovereigns was over.
