 Water Rates Jump
 It was brought out that the wa- ter rates at the town farm have jumped from SIS a year to $52 a year since the water meter rates went into effect but pending a fur ther adjustment by the water com pany, no action toward increasing the rental price of the town farm superintendent was taken.
 The town farm committee was ordered to investigate to determine whether the house rented by Jo- seph Hanley and owned by the town needs shingling. Supt. Scully expressed the opinion that if the board shingled the house, it should raise the rent to cover the cost of this, pointing out 1t is now SIS a month as compared with $25 form erly.
 After some discussion 1t was de- cided to let the town hall flag fly 24 hours and when necessary, get new flag. A proposal for an arm pole lower down had been found to be impractical, Supt. Scully re- ported. The financial report for the past fiscal year was not yet ready.

BURGESS NOT IN FAVOR OF
 SALARY, FEES
Remuneration for Bldg. In- spectOr Subject of
 Discussion

Naugatuck, April IA. - The question of whether or not the building inspector should be paid a salary of $315 in addition to the fees he collects was raised at the borough board meeting last night by Burgess Andrew O'Toole. MT. O'Toole held the opinion that the salary is a form of paying the build ing inspector for collecting his own fees. He favored either cutting out the salary and permit ting the collection of fees by the inspector, or having fees go to the town and the inspector get a straight salary.
 He contended the Inspector is only in his office two nights week. Burgess Anthony Tangredi asserted the inspector works also on week. ends. It was brought out that part of the $315 is used for purchase of report slips and permanent pads. T don't think any office holder should be paid to collect his own fees" MT. O'Toole said.
 It was stated that the building inspectors fees are $2 8 thousand up to $16,000 and $l Q thousand after that. Warden Brophy pointed out that a permit is supposed to be given before construction starts, with the inspector required to check architectural plans.
 Burgess Rudolph Anderson said he felt the taxpayers should know how much the building inspector or any other borough employe makes year and Burgess William Ploski concurred. in this. No action was taken but 1t was indicated that by Wednesday night, when the board meets again, on estimate of the to- tai fees collected by the inspector in the past year will be given.
 Supernumerary Item
 Warden Brophy and Burgess Ar1- derson expressed themselves strong ly in favor of pay increases for DO. lice supernumeraries but no amount was named. The supernumerariei now get 50 an hour as compared with .72 an hour for regular pa trolmen. Provision for such an in crease is not included in the pro

year (there were two social workers then as compared to one now); gem eral-$1 900, the same amount as ap- propriated in the past fiscal year; charities, $31, ,13254 as compared with $34, 4,31S.75; Meadowbrook home administrative, $2,910, the same amount as in the past year; other items under this, $1,413.46 as co11- pared with $1,71725 last year; in- mates expense, $1,075 as compared with $1,775 last year. The total of Meadowbrook home is $5,29s.46 aS compared with $1,775 last year.
 The board also approved @ $7,000 budget request for the town hall, which is 5000 less than las tyear. This includes $250 for new lights, ex- pected to be of the doureScent kind and to be installed in various offices, and also $500 for painting the in- terior of the building. The janitors' pay is listed as the same as last year $500.
 Richard Parkinson, who with Will liam Mariana and Supt. Leo Scul1y formed the committee which pro- posed the budget to the board, in- dicated that the borough board should not cut it any as the com mittee sliced it as much as possible, and felt it was pretty near "rock- bottom. He reminded that in 1855 the welfare budget was up to $75,- 900.
 The budget does not include a figure for painting Meadowbrook farm. An estimate of $2130 for this job had been secured and MT. Scully said he thought 1t was too high and that in a year or two a better price could be secured.
 Coal Contract
 The board awarded the contract for coal supply to the lowest bid- der which in three instances was the Naugatuck Fuel company, ana in one class was the Clark Fuel and Trucking company. The Fuel company got the contract for the following types: 75 tons of bitumi- nous coal, its bid being $7.95 per net ton as compared to an $8.3e net bid for the Clark company; 45 tons of stove coal, a net bid oi $1055 ton as compared with ne, bid of $11.85 per ton from the Clark company; 10 tons of nut coal, net bid of $11.01 per ton as compared with nea bid of $11.85 per ton from the Clark company. Ths Clark company got the contract foz the IS tons of coke with a net bid

Burgess Anthony TangreM urged more fire equipment if possible, pointing out that the matter of fire protection here now is quite a seri- ous question in view of the war. He said the department has only got one truck that can be depended upon to do a good job. He added, we have been lax on fire equip ment for the pas to years" There is a proposal for new fire bumper in the fire department proposal. If we can get this in the next year, we should, although it may take two years for 1t to come, MT. Tangredi said.
 Warden Leo J. Brophy pointed out that Waterbury, city six and one half times the size of Naugatuck, has only got II bumpers, seven of which are more than IS years old. Naugatuck has three now, he said, and when the new one comes in July, (this having been ordered last year(, it will have four. Age doesn't make much difference, he said, it is maintenance of the trucks which counts. According to the borough's number, Waterbury should have 25 bumpers at a comparative basis, he said.
 MT. Tangred1 said one bumper here Is 28 years old. We don't know what is going to happen" Bur- gess. Tangredi added, and pointed out factories and homes here must be protected. "Will one new bumper cover it?", MT. rophy asked. 'It will help" MT. Tangredi retorted.
 The warden asked Mir. Tangred1 If he wished to raise the tax rate to which the latter replied, ''Not il we can possibly help it." Warden rophy then said he would like tc see the various departments get im- provements adding there are many things needed here, but he wanted to know where the money for them is coming from.
 The total revenue for the new fiscal year will be about $575, ,482 as compared to the $563,1 ,177 appropria- ton for the present fiscal year, an increase of $l2,305, the warden said
