CITY ELECTION
Lightest Vote In Years
Cast To Select
Three Aldermen

A squirt Of interest was shown
in the school election held Satur-
day, March Goth, when 4O5 votes
were cast to select two board men,
bers from among three candidates.
One ballot in this election was
spoiled.
J. H. Hansen, treasurer and SEN
elected with a total Of 295 votes.
He lead the ticket with 81 votes
over the second highest candidate,
Henry Rydholm, who defeated
Dewey OGara for the vacant posi-
ton on the board. Mr.. Rydholm
now will take the place of S. p.
Hansen, Jr., who declined to be a
candidate for reelection. Dewey
O'Gara received 1875 votes.
L. A. Walker was Judge of the
election and Mrs. Lauretta Fish
and Mrs. Lulu Deziel were the
clerks.
Possibly the lightest vote cast at
a city election since Sank Centre
discarded it's swaddling clothes was
recorded in Tuesdays election.
This was not an April Fool event.
as the light vote was caused by
little interest due to the fact there
was no opposition on the ticket.
There were only 125 votes cast
for the reelection of three council
men, who have given good service
to the city in the past. Fifty-four
votes were cast in the First Ward,
and II citizens voted in the Sec
ond Ward. The results were as

ADJUSTMENTS IN
 RENT INCREASES
83 Complaints Filed Here With Committee; Agree.
 ments Reached

Settlements satisfactory to both landlords and tenants have been made in q large number" of com- plaints by tenants of rent increases which they claimed to be unjusti- fled, Frank J. Green, secretary of the Fair Rent Committee. Addition al complaints against increases have been received and are now being studied. The committee, since its formation during the summer, has now received 6 total of 83 com plaints, many of which have been settled,
 The Bureau of Labor Statistics has issued a report at Washington stating that rents were increased in 62 per cent of the rented wdellings here between October, 1e39, and July IS of this year. The increases small to large, averaging l6 per cent. Most of them have been made dur ing the past year, the government agency reported.
 The rent increases were reported to be most numerous in dwellings renting for $50 or less Q month.
 HandIcapping the Fair Rent Com mittee in its work is the fact that any settlements must be voluntary. There is no law allowing the com- mittee to force any settlement or to order that rents be kept the same or reduced.
 An official of the Ofiice of Price Administration is expected here soon to discuss the rent problem with the committee.

Vatican City, Sept. 30.-UP)-A high Vatican source, commenting on widespread British air raids in Italy, said today that Pope Plus XII had sent a message to President RooSe- welt, urging him to use his influence to prevent the bombing of Rome.

 Another Vatican source said Tay- Tor brought a message from MT. Roosevelt, suggesting that the pope might find way to transfer his residence.

INCREASE ASKED
 FOR HEALTH DEPT
l042 Budget Made Show Substantial Boost Over
 Present Year

Recommendations for & large in- crease in the health department ap- propriation for 1942 were to be sub mitted to the board of public health at a meeting late today by Dr. Edward J. Godfrey, city health officer. pr. Godfrey said he pre- ferred not to reveal any figures un- til the board had received his recon- mendation but admitted that he would propose Q substantial" in- crease.
 Unofficial city hall sources re- ported that Dr. Godfrey would ask the board to seek an increase of from $l5,000 to the $20,000 in the appropriation. The ap- propriation this year is $57,926.
 Most of the added sum to be sought will be needed because of a charter change transferring the keeping and recording of vital sta- tistics from the office of the town clerk to the health department. At least four new clerks will be needed to handle the statistics, and much furniture and material will have to be purchased.
 The health department now has 34 employees, with e total annual payroll of $46,S38. This includes seven doctors who work part time as school health inspectors. They receive $500 year each.
 Taking over the bureau of vital statistics by the health department will involve expenses in addition to those to be recommended by pr. Godfrey. The health department office, now located on the third floor of the city hall, will undoubtedly have to be moved and .. vault ap- proved by the state health depart ment will have to be available.
 Appoval of pr. Godfrey's rec concentrations by the health board was expected. The proposed i942 must then, however, be approved by the budget director, the board of finance and the board of aldermen.

Work Of Volunteers
 To Be Coordinated
Women's Division of Local Defense Committee Hears
 Reports From Various Social Agencies

ing their services, in order to co- ordinate their efforts so as' to aid most effectively Waterbury's con- tribution to the national defense.
 Headquarters were set up at the Cham Der of Commerce building early in July. and during the sum- mer, Mrs. Arthur Mountain, execu- tive secretary of the committee, has been conducting interviews with prospective workers, and register ing them.
 Tn yesterdays session of the full committee, Mrs. Ralph Darlington, chairman of the Red Cross unit, appealed for additional volunteers whose services are needed in sev- eral different fields. The Red Cross, she said, needs staff assistants, production workers, motor corps helpers, nurses aides, cray Ladies'" home service and admin istration workers.
 Several quotas of surgical dress ings and knitted garments have already been filled by volunteer workers for the Red Cross, but the demand for more continues. Glasses meet several times weekly at the Medical Association building.
 The nurses aides and the "Gray Ladies' are both volunteer groups which can be of great assistance in doing routine work at the local hospitals, and thus freeing the professional nurses for their more important duties.
 The women's defense committee is particularly eager to receive the applications of any volunteers for a course in the daytime care and supervision of children whose moth CTS are employed during the day in factories or elsewhere. The course will be as comprehensive as pos- sible, and will include instruction in child psychology as preparation for work of all kinds with chll- dren deprived of other care. This work with children is one of the most essential phases of the com mittee's activity.
 Leaders of Boy Scout and Girl Scout organizations have requested the committee to compile a list of young men and women available to replace former scout leaders who have been called to other positions.
 Mrs. Edward Godfrey reported yesterday on the work being done on behalf of the blind by the Braille committee, of which she Is chair man.
 Since the women'S committee was first organized, Mrs. Mark L. Speg- ", Jrv has been elected president to succeed Miss Marion Hunt, who has left to accept a position with the New Haven Central Volunteer Bureau.
 Registration for any kind of vol unteer work may be made by call- ing Mrs. Arthur Mountain, execu- tive secretary, at the office of the committee in the Chamber of Com merce building.
