 ROOTS REPORT
State War Commission Chairman Approves PrO-
 posed Sewage System

A letter was received today by Mayor John s. Monagan from s. H. Wadhams, chairman of the State Water Commission, in which the recent report submitted by Charles A. Root, city engineer and the local commission on the proposed sewage system planned for the city after the war, was highly praised and re- ceived the complete sanction of the state commission.
 The letter stated in part that when this plan is put into operation, "the city of Waterbury will have an excellent sewage system ard one which will meet the requirements of the city for many years to come. "
 The plan as submitted by the lo- cal commission calls for an extensive sewage system that will adequately dispose of all such waste. The esti- mate is based on costs for the pro- ject at figure of $1, 100, 900. MT. Root however, stressed, within the report, that these are not final figures as there is no way of determining at
  labor after the war, when it is hoped the construction will get underway.
 The estimate calls for $625, ,000 for the erection of the main sewage plant and $475, ,00O for the construc- ton of the Mad River "interceptor' which is the large conduit that will carry off the sewage throughout the rivers area.
 The sewage plant is proposed for construction on the 52 acre tract owned by the city and located rough ly between that area taken in be- tween South Leonard street and Platts Mills.
 The interceptor will begin ap- proximately at the Washington ave- nue bridge and will run through River street, under the Baldwin street bridge, through the Scovill Co.,, and out to Silver street. It is planned that this will take care oi all sewage in that ares except fo1 industrial waste.
 The letter from the State colm- mission requests that the city off, cialS start work now on the detailed plans and specifications of the pro- ject so that at the end of the pres ent war emergency the city will be able to take full advantage of all opportunities that will be presented to it at that time, for the purpose of getting the construction underway promply and under conditions most favorable to the city.
 It is estimated that this prelim- mary work alone will take many months.

plan. The number of workers a plant can hire also will be limited.
 Information Obtained
 Local labor leaders, who were in- strumental in stopping the con- trols operations from taking effect here as scheduled last Oct. IS, are reported to be disturbed by claims of state officials that there is no over-abundance of labor. John Driscoll. secretary of the Connecti- cut c. I. O. council, has revealed union members are collecting in formation to prove that workers in all industrial plants in the states central area are not fully utilized.
 The unions of the area have ex- pressed the sentiment the hiring controls are in reality 8 draft la- bor' plan and will jeopardize em- ployes' rights without securing the general benefits expected. No rev. elation has been made of any change in attitude or of the action to be taken by labor representa- tives of the committee at tomor- rows meeting.

Fire Marshal Lahey Pays Tribute to Splendid Work of Associates; Shortage of Water Blamed for Loss

coats melted in one of two cases, like that of Private Shea of Engine Company 10.
 We have always held high re- gard for the ability of the Water bury firemen. but after what we witnessed yesterday, our estimate of him has jumped considerably. Few were there to see 1t all, but what these men accomplished. and the punishment they took, shall always stand in the memory of the Mar Shal."
 The fire destroyed every piece of farm equipment MT. Gagliardi had in the barn, including various sets of harnesses, wagons and trucks one moving machine, blows for use in the field, hay wagons, dump carts, saws and wood piles.
 The distance between the barn that was on fire and the main or COW barn is about 25 feet. It was in this small space the firemen were confined and compelled to stand; ladders were raised under Lieut. Pagan, and Lieut.. Noonan then car- ried his small line to the roof, while flares of fire encircled him, as it did all of the other flremen called tc the scene.
 The smaller barn was totally de- stroyed, and also the farm equip ment.
 The marshal estimates the total damage at $2500. Only a small amount of insurance was carried on the stock. The building was not in- sured.
 The day shift was relieved by the night shift under Deputy Chief s J. Bloomfield at 6 p. m. Bremen were not able to get away until five or six hours after the first alarm, which came to headquarters at 3:0e p. m. The fire was discovered by Adolph Liebreich, who telephoned headquarters. The cause has not been determined.

When water is scarce. fire runs rampant.
 This was really the case Wednes- day afternoon, for awhile during the time Waterbury firemen were en- gagged in fighting a "head start" fire in an "open faced" barn or shed on the property of Rocco Gagliardi in the upper part of the Bucks Hill road. not far from the city bound ary line, and which threatened the total destruction of the main barn and silo only a few feet west of where the fire started. Bucks Hill road lacks water mains.
 We have seen many fires in Wa terbury," declared Fire Marshal Lahey," but never have we ob- served firemen take it. as they say as they did in this particular fire, The fire had secured such a start that flames were shooting outward toward the main barn when the f1remen arrived. Lieutenant Walter Clifford of Engine No. 2 came first, with Privates Bart Joyce, Thomas OCopnor and Edward Bowling They soon emptied the contents ot their chamical tank, followed by Engine 1 of Burton street with Acting Lieutenant William Burns in charge, and his company of Privates, Martin Crean Thomas Joyce, Anthony Muccinc and Edwin F. Traver. Engine Com pany 1 carries 8 booster tank oi 85 gallons and this was quickly laio on the fire. Lieutenant Maurice Noonan of Engine 10, Fire Head quarters, came along with his crew of Joe Droznick, and James Shea Truck Company No. 2 of Burton street had Lieutenant Joseph Fagar in charge and a crew of Thomas Bowen, Augustus Peck, James Grif- fin, James Salvatore and Edward Thibodeau. Acting Deputy Chiet Joseph J. Kelley had Privates Johr J. Woods and Jeremiah Griffin al his side Chief Thomas Cavanaugt and Captain George L. Holmes ane Private Frank Moore arrived to- gether.
 1 There are no water mains in the neighborhood and the small booster lines had to be applied to the soutt side of the barn, until each tank was emptied; then the engine hae to drive to the vicinity of the Buck: Hill school to load up again iron fire hydrant nearby. This was re- peated by Engine Company 1 ane and Engine Company 10 during tht entire afternoon, while in the mean. time, a brook was blocked and later water was received or pumped iron it by the booster Engine Company No. 10. And during all of this time the men we have mentioned above stuck along side, and in spite of tht tremendous heat generated by the flames of the burning structure poured their lines onto the COW barn, and even though 1t was badly scorched on the outside, prevented the fire from entering the interior The heat was so intense that al times water had to be directed al the men themselves; the rubber

E. Conway in city court this morning.
 The boys arrests came as an in- cidental result of the hunt which is still going on for the hit-run slayer of Francis Lynch, Jr., last thursday night.
 Motor Patrolman Joseph Tierney said he stopped car driven by Leonard Ferraro, IS, of B Surnac strete on Baldwin street Tuesday to investigate its damaged right side. Officer Tierney found the car was unregistered and its marker num- bers belonged to car which had been wrecked several weeks ago.
 Ferraro said he had gotten the markers from Joseph La Rosa, IT, PA Benefit street, LaRosa admitted to Detective Lieut.. Henry Johnson and Detective Joseph Dunphy he had stolen the markers and bat tery from car belonging to Mrs. Grace Watson, 33 Baldwin street which had been left at AIS Tire Shop on West Main street.
 Atty. Ralph Coppetto asked for leniency for the boys, explaining they had been on a Hast fling" be- fore joining the armed forces.
 Judge Conway pointed out La Rosa had a previous police record but granted the continuance with the hope army discipline would de- velop a sense of responsibility in him. T hope the army will make a right kind of man of you instead of what you are headed foc," he told the boy.
