Naugatuck, April Although the surplus in the budget was an- nounced as about $860, the borough has to its credit at Hartford $2,800 of the state dirt roads appropria- tion for this town which was not used last year but is money that can be procured at any time by this town, so actually the surplus was about $3,60O, Warden John J. Sheridan said in a Democratic rally last night in the court room.
 The warden said the administra- tion knew about this money in Hart ford and stressed the fact it is still available but said the fact that the borough had this credit had not been announced before. Annually the town gets over 1000 from the state for dirt roads use here and this money was the unusued por- tion in last years appropriatlon) :. The warden said his opponents can talk about the WPA or about other things but simply put, the fact is the administration showed a surpluse in its budget, and in ad- dition reduced the towns indebted ness in the past two years by more than $54,000. These figures give are actual facts, matter of pulp lie record" He said it doesn't make much difference how much more his opponents talk, they cannot get away from that.
 He pointed out the administration has made worthwhile, we'll planned" improvements. A total of 21s miles of storm and sanitary sew CTS were laid last year, thousands of square feet of sidewalks installed, thousands of lineal feet of curbs and gutters were put in.
 Mentions Improvements
 He said Scott street has been im- proved as has. Aetna street, which was in poor shape for years, work on Hickory street and Burritt place is being done and Woodland street is being reconstructed. He pointed out another channel to Millvllle will result from the work on Millvlne avenue and predicted there will be much building in that vicinity. He mentioned widening of Water street and Rubber avenue, widening or Church street north of Division street and predicted the High street wall will be cor.pleted within eight months. All this work was carried on and still we were able to come out with a good financial condi- tion. Certainty some credit IS que for that, he said.
 Among improvements planned are work on Maple Hill ana Pond Hill roads. Noble avenue, Nixon avenue, Ward court, John, Alma and Morris streets, Arch street, Prospect street and work on Park avenue is still continuing. The lower sections of German street will be widened and a large project on School street IS planned. Other streets which will be improved are: Field street, Osborne Hill road, Hoadley street, Chestnut street and Tolles square and others. Warden Sheridan said.
 He said he expected within a few days announcement of the approval of a $65 1000 sewer project for vari- ious sections of the town.
 Urges No Change
 "We have spread into the four corners of the town and it is im- portant that the people continue the administration in office as 1t has been successful in carrying out the work for the past five years. He pointed out in event of change of administration, there would be changes in the engineering staff, the borough clerks office, and other places. He praised the present gar- bage collectors, pointing out there had been number of complaints in previous years over no-ncollection of garbage.
 He charged his opponents have promised so many appointments Ii they are elected, they will not be able to fulfill all the promises.
 By returning the present admin istration, the town will profit by the experience the ce-hoiaers have gained. It is a dangerous time to turn the program over to. inex- perienced hands, he said.
 He said he had previously stated WPA accounting was not done here and figures were not available here. that no money for the WPA is han dled here, but his opponents ap- parehtly did not take cognizance of this. Some of his opponents who have been talking are not candi- dates for election but are candi- dates for appointments, he asserted.
