Highway Safety Conference Arranged In New Haven
Bonding Companies
Served With Notice
Special Committee to File Suit Against Convicted CITY
Officials State Possesses Important Data

Several steps are necessary before
any suits can be brought against
former city officials convicted of
conspiracy or against others who
allegedly received funds from the
city illegally, the board Of finance
was informed yesterday afternoon
by a special committee which has
been Investigating the subject.
Commissioner Orion Camp, chair
man, said that city records still In
the possession Of States Attorney
Hugh M. Alcorn must be returned
before enough data can be secured.
These records, he said, must then
be analysed by qualified auditor.
He pointed out that claims have
already been made against bond
ing companies. ="
Auditors Needed
The committee indicated that It
felt that part Of the $4,000 appro-
priated for the cicil actions should
be used for the hiring Of auditors.
The committee report, signed by
Chairman Camp and Commits
sioners John s. Monagan and Thor
valid Olsen, stated:
Your committee appointed to
make survey concerning methods
of procedure to be followed in order
to bring action against those who
may owe the city money as a result
of disclosures made during the re-
cent conspiracy investigation and
trial, respectfully reports:
The committee, as a group and
individually, has met for discussion
on frequent occasions with the cor
poration counsel and with others
from whom information or advice
might be secured. ..'
A preliminary investigation has
been commenced with q view to
determining the ACCESSIBILITY Of suits
against certain individuals.
The report Of the grand Jury and
The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-03-08

certain Of the proceedings in the
trial OF the criminal case have been
examined and discussed. Necessarily
this examination was incomplete be-
cause nearly all Of the original
documents are in the possession of
the state. The time when such docu-
ments will be available Is indefinite.
Bonds Examined
All surety bonds covering defend
ants have been carefully examined
and surety companies have been
notified that claims will be made
against them. Your committee feels
that claims should be made against
such companies. However, the re-
cord is so complex and the evidence
so voluminous that the adequate
preparation Of claims against bond
ing companies or individuals re-
quires the services of a person of
special training who can give to
this task the time and energy neces-
Sary. f.-
Aat this time your committee is
not ready to make any specific re-
concentrations, but expects in the
very near future to present more
definite plan Of action.

Text. Amos 81, 1915, 21.24.

Amos was not the first OF II
Hebrew prophets, but he was Inc
first whose prophecies have colie
down to us in a book attached ~
his own name. He is a X lls-
IRE. and the interest of his prom
ecy lies in the fact that SO Ihucl
that he said concerning <his own
time applies with equal intensity ano
reality to our time.
Amos was a herdsman who tenoeu
his flocks in Tekoa, a little village
about 12 miles south Of Jerusalem.
He had something of the farmers
sense of values and ~clearness Oh
vision; and, when became into Je-
rusalem and observed what was nap
pening in the towns and cities, ne
was shocked and vas moved to pro-
test. Just as a plain, honest, hard-
working man might be disturbed TO-
day with much that he sees IN our
modern city life.
It was a time of so-called pros
peritv in Palestine, but what Amos
saw was extreme contrast of wealth.
and poverty. Some were living lives
of indulgence and luxury, while 9TH
ers starved. Amos saw not only this
contrast, but he also saw that be-
meath it., and in some measure aus
ing it, there yer real injustlces.
1t was not only that those who
possessed we're unwilling to share
with those who had not, but society
itself was full of materialism n
corruption. The rich and powerful
were exploiting the poor for Their
own ends and their own gain.
Amos describes what he saw In
vivid words, as the poor were being
trampled upon. He saw also corrup-
ton in political life, bribery and
dishonesty. He said that the man
