The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-08-03

OAOAA uko sO W4A0s AAAoy 6O tAOSSoSS AOA the fire chief appointment, or there is nothing yet to indicate definitely that teh appointment will be made Tuesday.
 However, there is sure to be some discussion on the matter, as action on 1t had been promised for the July session, and was again prom ised at a special meeting, and the meeting did not materialize because Democratic burgesses haranged on several issues so long the Republi- can burgesses would not wait any longer.
 It seems certain that unless a nomination is made by one of the Democratic burgesses, Burgess Jo- Beph Nygreli will again call for de- 6nite action on the matter.
 The chances of Warden John J. Sheridan to secure the post seem somewhat shrouded in mystery. Just prior to the special meeting it had been reported that the warden had the support of at least three bur- yesses, two Republicans and Den- ocrat, but whether he still holds this support remains to be seen. There Is no doubt he is one of the lead- Ing candidates, and it is quite pos sible there will be a definite show down on the matter Tuesday night. If the warden should lose out, then the field would be pretty wide open. If he should win, it would probably result in an interesting po- litical situation as Republican Burgess Leo Smigelski, would be acting warden.
 It is possible the fire committee of the borough board may pull surprise by suggesting a name. Bur- geSs George Fellows is chairman of this committee and he and his fel- loW-members have been severely criticized in the past by Burgess Nygren for the delay in the ap- pointment.
 The fur may fly before the ses- sion is over for the situation is re- ported loaded with political dyna- mite.
 Other Matters
 There are several other important matters which will require the at- tention of the board. The recom- merdation of Police Chief John J. Gormley on the amount of an in- crease for police supernuemeraries is expected to be heard. It is re- ported the chief will recommend Q per cent increase.
 It will be interesting to see whe- theg there will be any attempt to appoint regular or supernumerary policemen. This was reported one of the topics which the Democratic burgesses argued about prior to the scheduled special session last month.
 The board is also expected to in- spect the annual report as submit ted by the firm of auditors ap- proved by the state. It is probable approval will be deferred until the members have an opportunity to study the detailed report thorough ly.
 Then approval of sidewalk pro- jects on Quinn and Aetna streets is also expected from the board Tuesday night. Tn addition there will be a number of minor matters and the reports of departmental heads to be considered.

 Busy Session.
 That the board of education is bound to have a busy session at its meeting on August 29 is becoming increasingly evident. One of the outstanding features of the meet ing Is expected to be the protest of Millville residents on the closing of the school there.
 It is reliably reported that there will be large group from the Mill vile district in attendance at the session to tell the board why they think petition, reportedly signed by well over 100 persons, asking that the school be re-opened. And rumor has it that there is at least an even chance that the board may recon sider its decision about the Millville school.
