 ASKED BY BAKER
Health Officer Want s WOOIen Mill Site Cleaned
 Up At Once

Naugatuck, Aug. 6ISteps to clean up the Woolen Mill pond near Rub Der avenue are being taken now, Warden Leo Brophy announced at the borough board meeting last night. He said Borough Engineer Charles Hitchcock is making plans to extend storm sewers at the north and south side, which now empty into the pond, so they will connect with other pipes and empty else- where. He indicated Health Officer Dr. Walter I. Baker has requested some action on it. Burgess Joseph Dinneny said he felt something should be done as soon as possible.
 "A petition for bingo playing here was approved by the board. A re- quest for sanitary sewer on Rus sell and Francis streets here was referred to the street committee for investigation. Signing this request were: Nellie Leary, Daniel F., Thomas F., Evelyn G. Leary and AlpIloIlSe adppy.
 The Connecticut Light and Power company was authorized to extend a gas main on Moore avenue, and the Naugatuck Water company was given permission to install a water main on Woodruff avenue The board authorized preparation of a WPA project proposal for pointing masonry on the Whittemore Mem orial bridge. Permission for erec- tion of a fire escape on the block at the junction of Spring and Bridge streets, owned by Frank WiSinski and Walter Andizejinski was given. Fire Marshal Michael F. Shea requested it, saying the building has only one exit now and state law requires two. The fire es- cape will be over the Spring street sidewalk.
 Burgess George Fellows requested that the fire marshal inspect the fire escape on the former Kazeme- kas block, 399 North Main street, and the board approved this idea.
 A sanitary sewer was ordered in- stalled on North Church street and Field street, Health Ofhcer Dr. Baker having ordered that condi- tions there be remedied. The board voted to have the sidewalk owned by Miss Josephine Maher repaired by the town. It has been damaged by borough trucks which cross it to dump snow on the Maher prop erty there.
 The street light committee was ordered to investigate a request for street light at the corner of Hard and Spencer streets. Burgess Fcl- lows asked if repairs on the Mill street bridge arc planned, pointing out it :, extensively travelled. The warden said the town will have an added dirt road allotment this year because ot . million dollar increase in the state dirt road fund. but how much 1t will be is not yet known.

 1 salaries of certain officials but in dividual amounts are not specified Warden Brophy mentioned tha' the borough auditors salaries mus be considered to some extent as now certified accountants do much O this work. He said after the meet ing, however, that he did not mear by this that the auditors salarie! should be cut, but indicated tht board would have to decide whether or not it wished to give these off cials any increase. Apparently in. creases for some other officials may result as totals are higher than last year.
 Burgess Joseph Dinneny suggested giving increases to two yard mer employed by the street department who were not included in the gen eral five-cent-an-hour increase giver last month. However, Warden Bro phy pointed out these men were raised from .55 to .62 1-2 an hour near the end of the past fiscal year although there was no vote of the board on this at that time. If they were now granted a five-ent-in- crease, they would be getting .67 1-2 per hour, as compared with 50 per hour for the other workers, he said
 Burgess Dinneny said he had not been aware they received the pay boosts late last year and did not press the matter.
 Bridge Matters The board authorized the warden to enter into necessary agreements for paying the towns share of the cost of 8 new concrete bridge for Union street. The town will pay one-fourth the cost, or about $500, it is anticipated, and the state will pay three-fourths of the cost, this being in the form of a state aid credit. Burgess Ploski asked if there would be a walk over the bridge, and the warden said he would request footbridge be in- cluded in the design.
 The board also authorized re- questing a state engineer to exam inc the Union City bridge on Bridge oGICCOp SO dko " 0OVC4 AAA11C O4AO amount of weight it will support and its general condition. Warden Brophy said he did not doubt the bridge was safe but felt in case any army convoy should have oc- casion to use the bridge, the weight it can bear should be known. The burgesses agreed that this was ad- visable and Burgess Fellows re- QueSted that new planking be placed on the bridge walk because there are now spaces between the blanks which might cause 8 fall. Warden Brophy said the town plans to do this soon.
 Favors Plikaitis
 A communication was received from committee from the St. Georges Lithuanian society in which it was stated that the so- ciety had voted recently to request the board to give serious consid- eration to William Plikaitis when they next name a supernumerary policeman.
 Plikaitis' application was received last month. The communication was accepted and ordered attached to the application so that consid- eration can be given at the proper time.
 The Centennial lodge Building association, through its secretary, Henry Titley, requested the town to move to correct a condition which is causing a seepage into the odd Fellows block on Maple street during rainstorms.

Warden Brophy said he is not sure of the cause, but tests will be made and if the borough has an obliga- tion it will fulfill it.

Naugatuck, Aug. G. Considerable routine business was transacted at the meeting of the Board of Warden and Burgesses last night, the session being one of the quietest held in several months. Discussion of the parking problem was 8 feature and there was also discussion of traffic hazards here.
 Joseph Kenishea, president of the local 45, United Rubber Workers of America, asked the board to permit parking on the west side of Water street. He said many had their cars tagged by police in the past two days and 1t cost each hard-earned dol lar, and tagging does not settle the parking problem, he said. He re- minded employees of the U. s. Rub Der Company come here from a 20- mile radius and many have to use cars to reach their work He said there have been a number of com plaints from workers because of the agging for parking on the west side o fthat street The parking lot of the U. s. Rubber Company is not big enough to take care of the workers cars, he added.
 Burgess Joseph Dineny felt that permitting parking on the west side from the concrete building north would alleviate the condition some what.
 Chief of Police John Gormley re- minded that the police have to carry out the borough ordinance, and added the police department does not want to take money away from employees of the U. s. Rubber Com pany but it still has to enforce the ordinance. He asked whether a special few are giving considera- tion at the Rubber Company park ing lot or whether it is a case of first come, first served.
 Would Like Interval
 Those on the a. m. shift can't get into the Maple street parking lot, he said, and MT Kenishea agreed that this is for office work CTS. .Kenishea said he realized the police had to do their duty and said he was not criticizing the po- lice department but he felt the ordi- nance should be changed. Chief Gormley pointed out that one shift ends at 2::30 p. m. and another starts immediately at 2:30. If there were 15-minute interval between the shifts, it would mean those quitting work could get out of the parking places before the new shift arrives
 MT. Kenishea explained that thiE could not be done apparently be- cause of state laws governing wo- men working after certain hours. Il this were done, it would mean the women would lose some work, he said.
 Chief Gor1nley pointed out there is no-parking ordinance on one
