Meeting of the Washington Park Community club will be held this evening at the Community house at 8 D. m. John Cuddy, the incoming president, will preside. All members are urged to atten dthis meeting, as it is very important one. The committee who worked so hard and diligently on the ashes and rubbish removal, of course, natural ly, will be anything but elated over the report of the committee ap- pointed by the mayor to make a survey of conditions governing this in Waterbury.
 It does seem as though Water bury instead of taking steps for ward to improve, are standing still -cities and towns of smaller popu- lation have put in this system and it does seem as though the taxpay-. CTS of this city are just supposed to pay their taxes when due = and be satisfied.
 However, the committee will not give up so easily, although they would rather get this improvement without a battle, and then again, sometimes it is necessary to battle to get anything that is worth while.

 Considerable opposition to a municipal system of rubbish re- moval now in operation. Thomas F.. Moore, of the city plan commission, said that after an exhaustive sur vey in 1920 by the Chamber of Commerce it was recommended that no change be made in the method.

 The following subcommittee were appointed: Garbage collection and disposal, Dr. Godfrey, City En- gineer Charles A. Root, oJseph Will helm; rubbish collection and dis posal, Thomas Moore, John Savino,

the moment.
No one knows whether there
eventually will be one" they added.
They conceded, however, that both
Britain and the United States prob
ably would welcome Russian assur-
ance against a separate peace as a
condition for sending material aid
which might fall to the Germans
