Sheridan Honored
Warden John j. Sheridan will long
remember the whole hearted, sim
cere tribute paid him by close to
300 OF his friends at the testimonial
dinner in Pythian hall Saturday
night. Warden Sheridan has done
an admirable job, and I and the rest
of the people Of Naugatuck admire
him, State Treasure Joseph E. Tai
bot declared. MIR. Talbot pointed out
additional duties have been added to
the office Of warden by the federal
government and the executive heads
of towns now have more responsible
ity.
Warden Sheridan is one of long
list Of Naugatuck wardens who CIV
en- administrations characterized by
their honesty and efficiency, and the
borough has been fortunate in hav-
ing such fine men at their head, the
state treasurer said. He said that
in 1843 a group of persons living in
the part of Waterbury called Salem
bridge decided they would like to
form a separate community and in
1874 the legislature gave approval
to the organization Of Naugatuck.
The centennial of this organiza-
ton is only five years away now and
1t should be fittingly observed, with
preparations being started well
ahead of the date, Mr.. Talbot de-
clared. For about so years Nauga-
tuck continued on a town system
with the first selectman being its
head and then 1t was organized as
q borough. Pointing out that the
warden has borne his many duties
