ceived one bid over S2O0 ,0o0.oo be- low our estimate. In the mean time a law had been passed in Congress authorizing grants for projects necessary to defense. However, no grant could be made on the pipe line unless we rejected all bids and revised our plans and form of bid to conform with new regulations under this new law. Because of the delay, the possibil- ity of much higher costs, and the uncertainty of obtaining 6 grant, we proceeded to let the contract on the basis of the favorable bid which we had obtained.
 We have been recently informed that the administrator of this pro- gram has recommended to Pres~ ident Roosevelt that we receive one million dollars from the Fed- eral Government for this purpose. We hope that we will obtain final approval but want to say now that the value of this project does not depend upon our obtaining this grant.
 On Own Merits
 The program stands on it's own feet on the basis of our original plans for its financing. l would like to refer to some of the crit- icisms which we faced. It was claimed that we should wait until the next depression to do this work as 1t would not be finished to be used in this emergency. I do not think that anyone would dare say now that our National Defense work will be finished in April or May of next year when we will begin using the new pipe line. A further criticism recently made by MT. Perriello has been that we are paying for the services of an expert in connection with this work. The special knowledge Of Mir. Pirnie, our consulting efl- gineer, has already saved the City of Waterbury many times the amount 1t will be necessary to pay to him. I would like to add that one of MT. Portfolios supporters, Mir. Warren Upson, stated that he was in favor of this project only if special engineering service were employed to expedite it's comple- ton.
 Let me say this project is the sort of issue that is Q proper Sub- ject for a municipal campaign. There Is a great deal of money ifi- volved and the interests of Water bury and It's citizens will be of. fected for generations. If this project is worthwhile, as believe it to be, 1t represents progress Of great and lasting importance. If it Is not worthwhile 1t is the sort of thing on which our opponents would De really justified in passing Q really serious attack. II is a good example of the basis on which I feel entitled to claim that my administration has shown energy and foresight as well as caution and economy In looking after tho welfare og our citv.

Abraham Katz, However, Served With Federal
 Warrant After Trial

Abraham Kats, S4, junk dealer, of East Aurora street, was found innocent yesterday on charges of stealing and taking a truck to Connecticut when arraigned in quar- ter sessions court in Philadelphia before Judge Clare Fenerty. No sooner was he dismissed on this charge when federal authorities outside the courtroom served a warrant on him charging him with transporting a stolen truck across the state line. The truck was later found on his property at East Au- rora street.
 Joseph Wooters, 26, of Shelton, was found guilty and given a sen- tence of 90 days in county jail Wooters was employed as a truck driver by Katz.

Cafe Meal Prices In Fairbanks
 Zoom Upward

Fairbanksans who dine in downtown cafes found new and higher price quotations on menus in most establishments.
 Former meal rates, almost standard throughout the city, were 50 cents for lunch and Sl for dinner. In some instances these have been boosted to 6o cents for the midday meal and S1.25 for dinner.
 Restaurant operators at large predicted rates eventually will find a new "standar dlevel' at ap proximately 30 percent over which prevailed until a few weeks ago.
 The boost in food prices was laid to the signing of an agree nent with local union members -alling for increased wages coupl ad with general rlSe III colil- nodity prices quoted as from l2 0 IS percent.
 Two eating establishments closed after operators refused to aeet the demands of the Hotel and Restaurant Employees Inter rational Alliance and Bartenders' International League of Ameri- ga, Local 379, were still inoperat we ard proprietors have given 10 indication they plan to re- :ume business on the AFL terms. These were Gerald's and the Tl- voli Cafe.
