 Supt, Chittenden reported a fam fly living at the northern end of Hillside avenue, where children are now attending Hop Brook school, requested permission to transfer to Salem school. There are five or six children and the superintendent felt 1t advisable for them to con- tinue at Hop Brook school. The matter was left to his discretion by the board. Enrolment at the Hop Brook school is expected to be light and enrolment at the Salem school will probably be heavy.
 The superintendent reported a request from woman living on the top Of Field street. The woman asked arrangements be made so that a boy who lived at her home could attend school. The board ap- proved the superintendent's gug- gestion that the child could go di- reetly to Salem school or could wait at the Millville school and get the school bus there which would take him to Salem school. The bus does not go in that section of Field street.

Central avenue is because there are eight grades and a Kindergarten there and only eight rooms. The fifth and sixth grades will still be combined but with the transfer there wil be 24 pupils in the com bined grades. MT. Chittenden said he does not believe any great amount of hardship will be worked on the IS to be transferred to Oak street because the schools are not too far apart and most of the IS come from the High street section.
 Protection Asked
 The superintendent informed the board he had a letter from Mrs. c. J. Lindquist requesting protection for children ct the Cemetery street crossing, bu: said he had been in- formed by a board member that this has been taken up with the police chief and necessary arrangements made to Insure the safety of the children.
 Joseph Neal was re-appointed to do the enumeration work, without opposition. MT. Neal has done the work for the past several years and his work has been quite satisfactory, MT. Chittenden said.

ROAD NOT WIDE. 'ENOUCH FOR BUS
 SAYS HOADLEY
Former Burgess Seeks School Board Aid to Get
 Pond Hill Rd. Widened

Naugatuck, September B. Fremont Hoadley of the Pond Hill section, former burgess, requested the Board of Edu- cation at its meeting yester- day to ask the warden or street department to widen the Pond Hill road. He indi- cated 1t is too narrow now for a school bus to travel with safety. Although he said the Pond Hill people still feel the school should be reopened, he did not specifically request this. Chairman Emil Mannweiler in- formed him the superintendent would take up with Warden Leo J. Brophy the question of widening the roads.
 MT. Hoadley criticized the school department for what he alleged was no notice given to the janitor of the Pond Hill school. Since the closing of the Pond Hill school and the Millville school, janitors had been retained in part-time capac- ity to report any damage done to the schools. They were dismissed without notice last July, MT. Hoadley said. Superintendent Chittenden said, when asked what notice had been given the janitors, "Well, we stopped paying them" MT. Hoadley pointed out business firms usually given @ certain amount of notice to employees who are to be discharged and felt this should have been done in connection with the janitors. "The method of letting them go cer- tainly didn't appeal to me" Mir. Hoadley said. It was pointed out the janitors were kept @ year after the schools were closed.
 There were 7S handicapped chil- dren examined by school physicians during the i94O-4l school year, Miss Elizabeth G, Neary, school nurse, reported. Speech defects was the major handicap, 30 having these, and there were 24 with orthopedic defects. There were 5 handicapped children in the high school exam ined: 22 in Salem school; 10 in Prospect Street schhool; seven in Central Avenue: five in Hop Brook; l3 at Rubber Avenue, three at Oak Street, one In GroceSide, three at St. Hedwig's and at St. Francis school.
