Plans for the hundreds of new homes were furthered today when Mayor Vincent A. Scully told this newspaper that he would do every- thing possible to seC that any new development of such size were as sured of adequate water and sewer service, as well as streets.
 The first wartime plan for erect ing small homes on a large-scaie basis was disclosed in The Democrat a month ago, when 1t was revealed that Robert Kosersky, member Of the firm of Morris Kosersky & Sons, was seeking FILA approval for con- strEction of 200 homes in the upper Fairlawn section, in the area be- tween Rockville and Mill Plain. The homes would be disposed of on either a rental or long-term pur- chase basis.
 Subsequently, the Waterbury Real Estate Board announced plans for erection of as many as 400 one family homes, presumably in dif- ferent parts of the city.
 The board said that it's homes would cost from $4, 400 to $4,50o each and would be either rented or sold on an a mortization basis.
 In addition, Mayor Scully said to- day, another builder has approached him seeking city cooperation in the construction of 50 or more one family units.
 The mayor said that any such arge-scale construction as indicat- ed in the three projects would do much to alleviate any housing shortage here and that naturally his administration would cooperate in every way possible.
