COP. MINORITY
REPORT TABLED
Request for Corporation
Counsel's Opinion on As
SCISSORS Office Put Off

Many are Of the assumption May
or John S. Monagan inveigled the
governor to veto the bill calling for
the reorganization of the assessors
office, says a report by the minor
ity of the committee appointed by
the aldermanic board at it's last
meeting to CONFER with the mayor
with regard to the critiscim of the
assessors Office made by Gov. Ray
mond E. Baldwin when he vetoed
the bill
AS expected, the minority report
signed by two Republicans, Burton
H. Walker and William Gerard, was
submitted at last nights meeting,
but was tabled when the majority
of Democrats voted against the Re-
publicans' wishes.
The report of the minority re-
quested the corporation counsel's
opinion before Aug 9, as to whether
it would be feasible to adopt by
referendum at this years city cleo
ton, charter change reorganizing
the assessors office. If the counsel
considers this impossible, it would
mean the present board of assessors
would stay put.
The Republican minority wish to
have the matter in the assessors
office intelligently considered in
view of the events of the last few
months as they were publicized."
However, the public heard the
governors veto message in which
he pointed out that there was wide
spread dissatisfaction with the con-
duct of the assessors office, but
that he believed the mayor and his
officials capable of taking care of
the situation"
The mayor. according to his judg-
ment, considered it necessary to
have the investigation conducted by
the state tax commissioners whose
judgment he considers most profess
sional.
During the course of the meeting,
Democratic Alderman Daniel Dris-
coll pointed out that the reason the
special committee, appointed to dis
cuss the assessors matter with the
mayor, had no report to make was
that it had agreed to set the issue
aside until after State Tax Commits
sioner Walter w. Walsh had made
his recommendation to the mayor.

COAL SHIPMENTS
ARRIVING HERE
Question of Labor to Make
Scheduled Deliveries May
Become Serious

A survey Of local retail coal deal
ers revealed today that Waterbury S
coal inventory is much better than
1t was few weeks ago, therefore
dealers will be able to make many
early deliveries.
The situation is a conflicting one
with many dealers having large sup
plies of coal on hand, but no hands
to supply the customers with coal.
And vica versa. One coal dealer to-
day suggested to the Democrat that
the dealers with and without get
together before fall comes around
or else the homeowners will be
without.
Another disparaging note in the
limelight is the fact that the per-
sons who were advised to convert
from oil to coal by the government
will not be supplied by local coal
dealers because they have become
new users to coal dealers and very
few dealers are altruistic enough to
accept new business in view Of the
shortage prospects this winter.
