New Contract Between
 Waterbury, Oakville
Better Water Service From This City to Oakville Drawn Up; Will Be Submitted to Ader-
 men for Approval

A new contract between the City of Waterbury and the Oakville Fire District, providing for better water service from this city to Oakville has been drawon up and will be submitted to the local Beard oi Aldermen for approveal at the boards next meeting, scheduled fol September IA. Drawing of the con tract was one of the last official acts of Corporation Counsel J Gregory Lynch before he left this week to accept an Army commission in Georgia.
 Supplementing a previous water agreement dating back to 1889, the new contract will allow the Oakville Fire District to connect with the city's 16-inch running along Main street in Oakville. Connection with this main will make possible much higher pressure and better general service in the district.
 A master meter will be installed at Adt's Switch. The Oakville dis trict will pay for the water at 10 per cent above the rates charged local residents, and in addition will pay $500 year for rental of the 16-inch main.
 The service will be started once federal approval of requests to se- cure the necessary parts for con- nections is received. It will be supervised by Superintendent of Streets and Water Herbert Scott- Smith ok this city.
 Chairman Henry J. Bowling said that the new contract has the ap- proval of the local board of public works.

Patrolman Cluney Has Hope
Hint Was Given Today That Report Recommending Such an End to the Case, Will Come Up at
 Next Meeting of Police Board

A member of the committee on men and discipline of the board of police commissioners hinted today that a report recommending the re- instatement of Patrolman Patrick Cluney will be filed at the next meeting of the police board.
 Patrolman Cluney, who will be eligible for retirement because of 25 years of service in January, was sus- pended several months ago for fail- ure to produce evidence that he Is a citizen, although he has been un- successful in his efforts to obtain a birth certificate supporting his claim to birth in Boston.
 He called the boards attention to a ruling by Director Paul McNutt of the War -Manpower board pro- viding that men and women work ing on confidential and critical wal materials may submit in lieu o. birth certificates, personal state ments that they are citizens. Int l penalty for falSification is 10, year imprisonment and 5000 fine.
 Mir. McNutt's ruling is accompan. jed by statement of fact which re. lates that many native born Amer jeans are unable to produce birth certificates because of inadequate health and birth records in many towns and cities throughout the country.
 Through his counsel, Attorney John F. Tobin, Patrolman Cluney contends that he was born in Bos- ton but canot obtain a birth certifi- cate.
 His case differs from that of dis charged Patrolman Anthony Stango who admitted he was not born in this country and whose army dis charge papers bear the statement that he was born in Italy. He also registered as an axis alien and filed application for citizenship just be- fore the charges were brought by the board.
 The police board is inclined to accept Patrolman Cluney's state ment of citizenship, according to re-
