To Appeal Order
With members of the welfare
board seemingly in unanimous ac-
cord with Warden John ]. Sheridan
in agreeing that the department
should not be compelled to expend
$1,100 for new Town Hall vault
doors unless such action is irnpera-
tive, Warden Sheridan is prepared
to appeal an order by State Inspec-
tor Burke which would compel the
borough to install new doors.
Warden Sheridan. and Superin-
tendent Leo Scully informed the
welfare board at its recent session
that the doors of the local Town
Hall vault are identical to those
which were used in the Middlebury
Town Hall totally destroyed by fire
last year. Records in the Middlebury
vault were recovered intact after
fire had leveled the wooden struc-
ture, it was said. The local oficials
declared the Naugatuck Town Hall
vault doors were made by the same
firm and were the same In every de-
tail as those used so successfully in
Middlebury, and board members i'm
mediately approved the warden's
suggestion that the matter be taken
to state authorities to seek a final
opinion.
Inspector Burke, members said,
has visited the Town Hall here sew
eral times to insist that the vault
doors be replaced in accordance
with a state statute. Warden Sher-
idan declared the statute to have
have been adopted after door manu-
facturers had succeeded in a CAM
paign to accomplish this at Hart
ford. Efforts to have Inspector
Burke interview Borough Attorney
James P. Sweeney regarding the
matter were unsuccessful but expec-
tations are held that a meeting be-
tween the two will be soon arranged.
