borhood and eventually finding the owners. Two cars were parked di- rectly in front of an exit that housed at least 50 persons; these cars were removed by the order of the Marshal around 2 o'clock this morning. Later another complaint was received from another person whose property was endangered in the same manner.
 Ordinance Cited
 Section I of city ordinance reads in part as follows, to wit:-''When- ever, he (The Marshall shall find Instructions to fire escapes, stairs. passagevays, doors or windows, liable to interfere with the opera tions of the Fire Dept. or egress of occupants in case of fire, he shall order fhe same to be removed, and such an order shall forthwith he complied with by the owner or oc- cupant of such premises or building, subject to appeal to the Mayor"
 The law carries with it a penalty of $25.0O for each conviction.
 Tt would seem," explained the Marshal" that this portion of the Fire Code would give the Dept. ample power under the circum- stances as related. But we are not sure; we are not of the legal mind; we are only common ordinary in- dividuals, we of the Marshars of- flee and know little regarding the complexities of the law.
 There is no question but what parked automobiles obstruct and in terfere with the operations of the Fire Dept. in private passways, and block exits in apartment houses. How do we know just what inter pretation would be en~'o'd by the learned court; perhaps we should find out by bringing in one or two violators. And it looks as though we shall have to act in this manner, judging by the comments of the people who actually own these pri- vate driveways.
 "Our desire is to protect the peo- ple's lives; the law demands this of us. but we cannot do it if the law fails uS'
 "The situation complained of is serious. we admit; we sympathize with the ones whose lives are im- periled by the careless act of the ones parked in and about driveways, and block doors that are used in case of an emergency, such as fire; truck blocked the exit yesterday in Burial court to the rear door of the Chase building at A Bank street, and many of the office forces had to run back again upstairs and through the heavy smoke to make exit again by way of Bank street.
 "The question is one that must eventually be settled to preserve and safeguard the lives of occupants of such places. There is some legal question over the city's right to enforce a city made law on private property. But is the occupancy of a land by hundreds of people really private property, within the mean ing of the law. Only the learned can decide such a point"
 And the Marshal surely doesn't class himself as learned"

TEDESCO FINED
 IN CITY COURT
North Main Street Driver Found Guilty of Reck-
 less Driving

William Tedesco, 9, of 919 North Main street, who pleaded not guilty to a charge of reckless driving, was fined $25 and costs, in city court this morning when he was ar raigned before Judge John L. Gaff- ney.

The Fire Marshal of Waterbury is worked up;" he's sure he is not 'burned up", he says, because as he explains he doesn't desire to be- come too excited, although the fear and possibility of the loss of life, in case of fire, by reason of the blocking of exits, and doorways by parked automobiles in and about apartment buildings and bushes houses in private driveways concerns the office vitally, and frightens him to such an extent at times that his equilibrium, he admits, is some times upset by the conditions pre- sented, and thereby forces him the loss of much sleep during the regu- lar hours allotted man for rest.
 Exits Blocked
 So many complaints have been re- ceived by the Marshaps office against people who park their auto- mobiles right up against exits in various apartment houses that the Marshal has a hard time of it ex- plaining to property owners and tenants that he is almost helpless under the circumstances inasmuch as most of this occurs during the night season, and the inability of the inspectors to find the exact owners of the automobiles.
 Marshal" complained an excited property owner this morning, "the driveway on our property is filled with cars, parked there by people we do not know, and mercy me what would the poor firemen do should fire break out in the building during the night season; the people couldn't get out; the firemen would almost be helpless to raise ladders, and it might be that they couldn't get their water lines on the burning building on account of the great number of automobiles in the alley way; do something please"
 The Marshal and his staff did do something without delay; they went right out, and directed the removal of all cars, after securing the neigh
