ONE-DAY FLOWER
 SHOW SCHEDULED
New Canaan Country Club Scene of Event Wednes=
 day May }

The New Canaan Garden club has arranged a one-day flower show for it's 30th annual show, and for this year it will be held at the New Canaan Country club, on Country Club road.
 The date chosen for 1889 is We'd nesday, May 3rd, and the show will be open to the public, without charge, from 3 to 10 p. m.
 The Country club may be easily reached by route 123 from New Canaan, going north from the town, and turning left at Country Club road, or from Ridgefield on the same route 123, going south and turning right on Country club road. Ar rows will mark the route for visitors.
 Mrs. Jerome Selinger, the chair man of exhibition, and Mrs. Floyd c. Noble, chairman of classification, are being ably assisted by capable committees, so the show promises to be an interesting and attractive one.
 As this show is in the early spring, the flower of honor will be nar- cissus. but classes in tulips and hyacinths have also been listed.
 Glasses for dwarf iris, polyantha primroses, pansies, violas and flower ing shrubs, are included under the heading of Miscellaneous"
 There will be eight classes under flower arrangement, some of which will be of universal interest. The flower picture Interpreting the style of painter of the modern school, should be especially appealing now that modernism is the keynote of the Worlds Fair, and the after dinner coffee table, by way of contrast with a domestic touch.
 Mrs. Frederick T. Fisher, the president, and all the members of the New Canaan Garden club ex- tend cordial invitation to garden lovers to be present on May 3rd.

MAY ASK WPA
 MAKE SURVEY
Housing Authority Opens New Camaign to Improve
 Housing Conditions

A recommendation that the board of aldermen set up WPA project for survey of slum conditions in Waterbury was voted yesterday at a special meeting of the Waterbury Housing Authority. The project would include a study of existing laws and ordinances whose enforce ment would improve the local hous- ing situation and the preparation of any new ordinances that would be needed.
 The recommendation will be talk en up by the board of aldermen at a meeting Monday night. The Hous- ing Authority approved the reten- ton of Attorney Frederic c. Smed- ley to aid Chairman William M. Harris in preparing a formal report for the aldermen, as requested.
 Early last week the aldermen re- jected the Authority's recommenda- tion for a local housing project on Chase avenue. The project would have included dwellings for 250 low income families. At public hearing on the proposal, strong opposition was expressed.
 The aldermen instead recom- mended that everything possible un- der existing laws be done to im- prove sub-standard dwellings and that federal funds be secured if possible.
 In recommending the WPA sur- vey, the Housing Authority will point out that funds to make such . survey itself are not available.

Welfare Department Reports Increase In
 Applications For Aid
6,24O Persons Given Assistance During Month of March, Official Figures Reveal Today; Budget for
 Year May Prove Insufficient for Needs

which includes 184 cases in which institutional care is being given.
 Business Needed
 Only a sudden and sharp upturn in local business can prevent the Welfare Department from exceed ing the budget appropriation set up for it for the current year. The board of finance has been expect ing a Welfare Department deficit, but today's figures make it appear that the deficit will be considerably greater than anticipated.
 Funds in several Welfare Depart ment items have already been run ming low, and transfers from other items have had to be requested in order to allow the department to continue its work.
 The previous high for cases on full relief was established in March, 1885. The figure then was some what lower than the crest arrived at last month. And, since 1885, the WPA has been responsible for talk ing many cases from the Welfare De- partment rolls. There are now ap- proximately 2,000 local persons en- ployed on WPA projects.
 Partial Relief
 The relief figures will come up for lengthy discussion on the part of the Board of Finance, for the prob- lem of providing enough funds for relief for the remainder of 1889 must be met by the city.
 Other figures from the monthly report reveal that there were 4,372 persons receiving partial relief last month. The figure for February was 4,228.
