Naugatuck, Dec, B-Ample notice will be given residents of dates for any hearings by representatives of the public utilities commission on whether or not water meter rates lN force here now will be retained, Warden Leo J. Brophy announced at the meeting of the board of war; den and burgesses last night,
 The warden said he feels 1t is hIs duty to notify the public of such dates. He does rlov yet know defl- nitely when any hearing will be held. He indicated 1t Is possible there will be c hearing here as well as in Hartford to get public senti. ment on the matter. It is expected the hearing will be next month.
 The Naugatuck Water company was given permission nearly 0 year ago to install water meters here for c trial period of one year. The peo- pie of the borough will have ample time to discuss the matter before the hearing in Hartford, MT. Brophy said. There was no other discuss sion of water meters at the meet- ing.
 Parking Meters Discussed
 A committee was appointed to in- vestigate the advisability of inStall- ing parking meters on some of the principal streets here. This commlt- tee consists of Warden Brophy, Pc. lice Chief John J. dormley and Bur- gesses Joseph Dinneny and Rudolph Anderson. It will report at a spe- cial meeting of the board in two weeks. The warden pointed out aft- or January 1 the price of the meters is likely to 70 up SO he felt that e special meeting should be held.
 It was explained that there would be no cost to the borough for park Ing meters for 0 slx.months trial period. Twenty-Five per cent of the collection in this period would go to the town and 76 per cent would go to the company and could be ap- piled on the purchase price of the meters.
 The warden indicated he favored consideration Of the idea. but stressed he Is not trying to force 1t upon the town. There have been many complaints about the parking situation and sometimes an autoist will use up gallon Of gas trying to find Q place to park. He lndica. ted this has driven business else- where occasionally.
 The tentative plan proposed would have parking meters installed on: both sides of Division street, 2e two- hour meters; Church street from Rubber avenue to Maple, i30 S0- minute meters and i6 one-hour me. terS; Church street from the town hall to the post offlce, on the east side, iS one-hour meters; i2 i5- minute meters; Church street, west side, i4 one-half hour meters; Park place, 2i one-hour meters; Maple street, 48 one-hour meters: Water street from Maple to DalyIs store, 10 one-hour meters; South Main street, 32 one-hour meters; Maple street extension, l4 one-hour meters,
 The South Main street Reters would be as far south as near Ray tkwieh's garage. There are three companies whose agents have been here, the warden said one being lo- cated in Hartford, one in New Jer- sey and the third in Chicago.
 Burgess Anthony Tangredi said there Is a one-hour parking restric- tiron on South Ma.a street now, but the warden said 1t is difficult to en- force 1t because of inability to check on the time when cars park there When MT. Tangredi said 1t would be necessary to have policemen patrol areas where parking meters may be located to check parking violations, the warden said no extra policemen would be needed.
 Both BurgeSseS Dinneny and An- drew OToole felt 1t would do no Narm to try the meters.
