The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-09-05

OpAAAlS, GllLS UelIlS CduSeO py HIS 1C- marks Tuesday night that he is dis gusted with politics.
 In the spring primaries of 1889, Burgess Anthony Tangredi was de- feated by MT. Hoadley for renomin- ation and reports had it then that some G. O. P. leaders were dis pleased with MT. Tangredi because they did not think he was as staunch in his support of Republi- can motions as he should have been
 Tuesday night, MT. Hoadley did not vote to support an amendment made by Nygren to delay action on the fire chief, and it was alleged he voted with the Democrats on an- other occasion.
 Warden Sheridan's chances for the fire chief appointment seem slim now. Several months ago it was reported he had the support of Bur- gess Broder but Tuesday night Burgess Brcder seconded Burgess Fellows motion for the appointment of John Phillips and it is now re- ported he has cooled to MT. Sheri- dan.
 On the other hand the chances of MT. Phillips seem quite good. He seems likely to get the vote of the Democratic burgeSSes. If MT Hoad- ley did not vote and Burgesses Ny gren and Leo Smigelski voted against him the warden could make it a tie by casting a may" vote. But it is not at all certain that MT Smigelski would vote against MT Phillips, who has been a paid regu- lar driver here for about 10 years.
 Survey Report
 The uncertain factor now is the report of the representative of the fire insurance company. It is not be- lieved any action will be taken until after that report is ready, and prob ably action on the appointment will be deferred until the regular Octo- Der session.
 The insurance company expert will undoubtedly report that there is crying need here for new equip- ment, and may state that the fire alarm system could be improved. Just what his report on the person. nel of the department will be is not known, of course, and this may pro- vied teh feature of the entire survey report.
 MT. Nygren kept concealed the names of the prominent citizens" who are sponsoring the survey, and did not state whether or not any To- cal organization was backing them.
 Whether the board will feel t wants to follow any recommenda- tions that may be made in the sur vey report is question that only the future that will decide. MT. Ny gren conveyed the idea that the sur vey is of tremendous importance to the town, but did not go into many details.
 The news that an adverse report on local fire conditions had been made by another insurance com- pany here recently comes as a sur- prise generally to the public. Just why this has been kept quiet is not known. Apparently no report was made to the borough board.
 Enjoy It
 Despite the fierceness of emotion displayed by some of the burgesses Tuesday night, the audience in the courtroom got much enjoyment from the session, laughing or applauding at times, other times listening to the near-brawl with intent eagerness as i if the verbal fireworks were just what they had been expecting for some time.
 And it is true the outburst has been brewing for long period, with numerous factors entering into the situation.
 Whether this dissension will con- tinue after the fire chief matter i; disposed of is question that is now being asked and time alone will SUD- ply the answer.
