SWEENEY FACES
 MANY PROBLEMS
Legal Side of Debated Questions to Be Answer
 ed By Borough Atty.

Naugatuck. July 9-Borough At torney James P. Sweeney will have several problems to Wrestle with as the result of the borough board meeting Tuesday night It will be up to him and the police chief, John J. Gorm!sy, to determine whether or not commercial cars op- erating here should be given limited parking time, presumably to load or unload, but this was not unani- mously specified by the board.
 Some members felt such a priv ilege should be given. Burgess An- thony Tangredi opposed it, feeling commercial cars should not get any more privileges than the ordinary motorist, who has to pay if he parks near 8 store where he plans to make a purchase. In the ordinance submitted by the borough attorney there was no mention of commercial autos and the burgesses did not know whether 1t was left out de- liberately or by mistake. So they tossed the problem back at him and the police chief.
 Another question referred to Atty. Sweeney is whether or not the board has the power to make temporary appointment to the fire department. Some felt because of the charter amendment of several years ago, any appointed as a paid fireman Is automatically in for life, unless mis- conduct causes his removal. The question was raised during a dis cussion of leaves of absence for bor- ough officials who might be called into military service or be called by the government into defense work" :" Burgess Andrew OToole propounded a theoretical case of five men being called from the fire department and five replacements being needed. He asked If the men named in such a case would .'e in the department permanently. When Burgess Tan gredi first proposed the leave of ab- sence matter, he mentioned only the police and fire departments, but lat CT others suggested it include all borough officers. so called. It was then pointed out no leave of ab- sence was proposed for Burgess Jo- seph Dinneny, whose post was de- clared vacant after he was inducted into the army, and who later re- signed.
 There is speculation as to whether or not borough official, ordered by the government into some de- fense occupational work, would be granted a leave of absence. Un- doubtedly the borough attorney will only try to answer the legal side of the questions raised.
 Minor items transacted at the meeting Tuesday night included a report that Peter Perkowski of An- derson street, who had been ordered by the health officer to connect with a sanitary sewer, has indicated he will do so as soon as necessary ar- engagements can be made. Borough Clerk Charles F. Daly informed the board he has written to Joseph Bru- no of 34 Savings street, Waterbury, informing him beauty shop opera tor in his building on Union street here has complained that smoke from an incinerator on the property is a nuisance, and that Health Off, ficer Dr. Walter I. Baker, after an investigation, has found the com plaint justified. MT. Daly ordered the nuisance abated by August 3.
 Carl Lindahl of Park avenue was given permission to connect his eel lar drains with storm sewer, pro- vided necessary catch basins are installed, and the work be approved by the borough engineer.
 The board authorized the warden to name a committee to express ap- preciation to Joseph Dinneny for his six years of service to the town, and the warden named Burgesses Andrew O'Toole and Rudolph An derson.
