Rev. Dr. Currar1 Protests
 Col. Lindbergh s Speech

Among the score or more of national leaders, who have taken exception to the recent address of Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh declaring that the British gov- ernment, the Jews of America and the Roosevelt administration are endeaVoring to involve the United States in war, is Rev. Dr.. Edward Lodge curran, president of the International Catholic Truth society. In a public state ment quoted in today's issue Of the New York Mirror pr. Cur- ran declared that he regretted and rejected the inclusion of the entire Jewish race in his sweep Ing statement and urged that the colonel would make proper distinctions in the future. pr. Curran stated that on minority, Christians as well as jews, are conspiring to lead the nation into war.
 pr. Curran's statement In full and as conveyed to Lindbergh is as follows:
 "As director of the Anti-War Crusade of the Internatlonal Catholic Truth society, regret and reject your inclusion of the entire Jewish race among those seeking to plunge our country Into war. Those working to get us into war are only a minority - Christians as well as Jews among them. Prominent among Christian war leaders are the Secretaries of the Army, Navy and Interior, and the inflamma. tory Senator Pepper.
 'SThe Anti-War Crusade of my organization calls on all our fel- low citizens, Jew and Christian, Catholic and Protestant, to unite in keeping out of war. We re- gret your reference to the en- tire Jewish race, and trust you will make proper distinctions in the future"
 Dr. Curran spoke recently in Waterbury under the auspices of the Waterbury Chapter of Moth CTS of American Sons. On that occasion he scored various fac- tons attempting to stir up war hysteria. He declared that the so-called gasoline shortage and the collection of aluminium were intended to make the American people war conscious"

property owners"
 He stressed the damage entailed to the lawns and other property along the road, and complained that his spring would be "just ruined".
 Mayor Scully interrupted to say that the layout already had the ap- proval of the board of aldermen, and that consequently the board of works had no authority to reopen the question. There were only two recourses for the property owners, he explained-either taking the case to the courts, or petitioning that the assessments be set aside
 Mir. DeBisschop got the floor again, to say that the city was charging assessments against the property owners, while 1t should be awarding them damages. He insist ed that there must be some action this board could take.
 Are you opposed to asking the aldermen to rescind their action?" he asked.
 Charley, said the mayor, "dont ask questions like that. You're fa- nous for that kind of question" He explained again that he sympa- thized with the delegation of own CTS which was present to lend moral support to MT. DeBisschop, but that there was no action the board could take. He went on to say that Q request from the board of works to the aldermen to reopen the ques- ton would be worse than useless, since the next meeting of the alder men was on Oct. 6, by which time the twenty days in which property owners may appeal from the assess ments would have elapsed, and they would thus lost their right by such delay.
 MT. DeBisschop asked if residents of the East Mountain section might be given a map, so they could see what changes were to be made. The mayor replied that he thought the city engineering department would be quite willing to furnish such a map in the event MT. DeBisschop brought his complaint before the board of aldermen
 Three bids for construction of chlorinating plant and control sta- ton at the proposed third West Branch reservoir were also received at last nights meeting. The Tur- bine Equipment Go. of New York city submitted a certified check for $l0,000; the Suburban Engineering Co. of New York city, one of $il,- 500; and the Kuchar Bros. of Mont. vale, N. J., one of $lly000.
 The bids were submitted to the engineering department for canvas sing. The contract is to be award- ed at 6 meeting on Thursday ct l2:iS p. m.

 Injustice Of Layout
Declares City Should Pay Damages, Not Levy Assess ments for WOrk-COurt Action Suggested as Solution

Asserting that property owners on and near Peach Orchard road were HOO per cent opposed" to the action taken by the city in the lay- ing out of the road, Charles J. De- Bisschop last night appealed fer- vently to the boards of works for reopening of the entire question.
 we feel', said MT. DeBisschop, "that the city has not done us jus- tice in laying the assessments. It is very funny, after all the hear ings held in the past by boards just as intelligent as you, that this board can just go right out and do this without even consulting any of the
