Dinneny Walks Out of Bmgesses Board Meeting; Dis-
 pute Between Sheridan and Fellows Features

Naugatuck, April 2-A bitter dis pute during which Burgess Joseph Dinneny, Democratic town commit- tee chairman, walked out of the meeting, featured the meeting of the board of warden and burgesses, which was the last meeting Warden John J. Sheridan will attend as warden.
 The conflict was mainly centered between Warden Sheridan and Bur- gess George Fellows, and was over the long hanging question of ap- pointment of two supernumeraries.
 Henry Poiski, Republican, and Frank Mariana, Democrat, were ap- parently appointed by the board, but Burgess Fellows contended both appointments are illegal on the grounds that no ballot vote was taken. The vote was a verbal one.
 Burgess Joseph Nygren brought up the matter about 20 minutes after the meeting started, moving MT. Ploski be appointed and reminding the police department needs super numeraries. Warden Sheridan re- minded he had committed himself on this previously in favor of hav- ing one Democrat and one Repub- lican appointed. Burgess Dinneney, without comment, quietly left the room, and later returned for @ short time, but did not resume his place at the board. Soon after he again left ti1A Ynaetinp rooff1
 Burgess Fellows said the board last month came to an understand ing that the appointments would be made by the next board and said in view of this, which was not included in the minutes, he felt the motion was illegal.
 Warden Sheridan and MT. Nygren said they did not recall any such agreement. Burgess Fremont Hoad- ley said he remembered. MT. Din- reney suggested letting the next board act on this, but said he did not know of any such general url- derstanding.
 If the board makes a, agreement 1t should abide by 1t, MT. Fellows said. He then told the warden that If the warden favors this motion T am getting up and walking out and my colleagues, Burgess Broder) will go with me or he should"
 I wouldn't do that If I were you for am going to vote for the mo. tion," Warden Sheridan said. He reminded the Democratic side oi the board was unable to reach ar agreement on this mad he felt Il ssould not be delayed longer he said.
 "Plot" Charged
 MT. Fellows charged that there was a plot" to put this through. T want to tell you now am not part of 1t. am getting out of here" Burgess Hoadley said he didn't know MT. Ploski was to be proposed at the meeting until MT. Nygren put the motion and Burgess Fellows said he didn't think Hoadley was @ party to the plot"
 The warden denied there was any plot. Fellows asserted nobody would get away with any "cooked-up scheme"
 "There is nothing cooked-up as far as l am concerned. You put up @ Democrat and will vote for him." the warden said.
 MT. Fellows was still talking as the warden put the Ploski motion and after the warden declared the motion passed, Fellows served no- tice he appealed 1t. Appeal 1t to the attorney-general," the warden said. T will appeal 1t to the bor- ough attorney" MT. Fellows stated.
 Burgess Broder then nominated MT. Mariana and 1t was seconded. Fellows then said he thought the appointments should be made by ballots, reminding Burgess Smigel- ski had contended this at @ previous meeting but implying that now that MT. Smigelski had got what Fellows said he wanted, Smigelski was not insisting on the ballot vote.
 A ballot vote is not necessary, the warden held. He told Fellows he would not let him remark on the motion all night. Don't think you caught me mapping" Fellows said. My man is Ray Goggin." He add ed the charter will show that Q bal- lot vote is necessary. MT. Sheridan said that this was a matter of opin- ion and as chairman, he ruled 1t
