At present work is still progress ing on the installation of gas and electricity facilities at the site, and the roads are being laid. The long. continued controversy between the City Sf Waterbury and the federal government over the connection of project sewers to the city'S sewage disposal system has not yet been settled, the major said.
 When work was first begun at the tract of land off Long Hill road the engineers in charge were hope full that the first tenants would be able to move into the defense homes there by the first of Septem- Der, Since tho summer, however, ob- stacle after obstacle has arisen to delay the work, and consequently to postpone the opening date. much to the discouragement Of defense workers in the local factories who have applied for the homes.
 Construction has at times been held up by acrimonious disputes with the city over the standards tc be observed in the plumbing and other facilities on the government owned property, by such controver- sies as that over the sewer connec- tons. and by tho difficulty in get ting materials in many cases. Tn consequence of these various prob. lems, the tentative opening date has four times been postponed.
 Assuming, however. that some agreement can be reached between the city and the federal authorities in regard to the assessment of $22.- 900 which the municipality Insists the government must pay for the privilege of having project sewer. connected to the city'S. the first group of tenants are now expected to move into the homes allotted tc them by the first of December,
