ALDERMEN BLOCK
 $2,OOO TRANSFER
Republicans Believe C. K. & L. Should Do Work
 Without Cost to City

Republican aldermen last night blocked a proposed $2,000 transfer to allow removal of street car rails by the WPA, basing their action on a claim that the work should be cone without cost to the city by the Connecticut Railway and Lighting Co. The G. O. P. minority of seven was outvoted by the eight Demo- crats but won its point through an aldermanic rule that questions in volving city expenditures can be tabled until the next meeting by vote of one-third of the members.
 The total cost to the city for rail removal is estimated at $14.000. with $2,O0O to be spent this year and 9l2,000 next year. The city expects to receive that sum or more from the sale of the removed rails as sal- wage steel.
 Alderman George L. Kingston (R) declared that under the law the traction company should do the work of rail removal and should then pave the area adjacent to the tracks. He then made the motion to table.
 Printing of copies of the l94s budget recommended by the board of finance was voted. The budget provides pay increase of $500 a year for all city employees, and a tax rate of 30 mills.
 Sale of several pieces of city, owned property was voted.

that In nearly every case there Is trouble in the home. Many of the parents of these boys have them- selves been in court on charges ranging from nor-support Co statu- tory offenseA Tn many cases, the parents are So unconcerned with the boys future that they do not even take the trouble to come to court when their son is on trial. Others don't even know that the boy is In trouble until they learn 1t from us. "
 Judge 0affney's statement is suh- stantiated by police records which reveal that one boys father is serv- ing a life sentence in Wethersfleld State Prison on a murder charge, another's mother has been booked fer statutory offenses, other parents are separated or divorced.
 Commenting on the same situa- ton Chief Inspector Joseph P. Stevens of the detective bureau pointed out, Almost every boy whom we have had in here over the past two weeks, has record, and nine out of ten have appeared be- fore the juvenile court. This epi- demic of thefts is not something which just happened. We have known for some time that these youthful gangs have existed, but the punishment has never been severe enough to deter any of the young sters from further crimes. They start out on petty things, and when they find that nothing more than Q period of probation awaits them if they're caught, they just keep right on going until you have Some- thing like the Westport holdup. Most of the Westport gang have been let off with a minimum pun. ishment.
 The recent youthful crime wave began when three boys were brought in for an attempted holdup scheme in a North End gasoline station. The leader of the plot, Michael Celen- tano, l6, was sent to the Cheshire Reformatory, while an accomplice, Joseph La Rosa, also l6, was placed on probation. For Celentano it was Q second offense.
 This plot was followed by the armed robbery of a Westport tavern restaurant, perpetrated by five members of the Arcadian gang who were soon afterwards caught in Greenwich. Further investigation into the gangs activities disclosed that they were responsible for e number of gasoline breaks in Wa terbury, Prospect, Bristol, Torring- ton, and other cities, as well as tire and coupon thefts. Detectives pick ed up two other members of the gang here, and shortly after appre. hended two more who were attempt- ing a break at the Matatuck Rec reation Center.
 During the past week, five youths were picked up by local and state police in connection with breaks al a Woodbury gasoline station and a private residence at Newtown, while detectives cracked Q gang which had been cleaning up on telephone boz thefts.
