Today's session, which opened the
April criminal term, was character
lied by the youthful appearance of
the majority of the accused, and by

cused were given guardians by the
court because they were under 81,
while all but three Of the 20 per-
sons arraiged pleaded guilty.

Murray girl, a former night club
singer in the Waterbury area, the
judge cautioned her to get away
from the notion of coveting an
other persons possessions. He
stated, IF you want something and
wat 1t real badly go out and work
for it. If you can't, then get along
without it." He added that the
country wealth was obtained by the
individuals who worked for it.

home at 20 Harriet street last Jan.

ion. He said, "She is rather young
to start off on the wrong path"
Miss Murray was placed on pro-
baton for one year and warned
that she must follow the orders of
the court officer. The court was

Naugatuck to a fictitious "Roose-
velt-Democratic ball" the court was
told.

out the accused had had an oper-
alton at the Newington Veterans

was trying to raise money for an
other one. He pointed out the man
had no previous record and held a
good reputation in his community

successful in saving money for the
needed operation.

months in jail was imposed on Fred
Brinknlan 81, of 60 Center street,

mendations. He asked that meet
ing be called by the group before
the next regular meeting of the
board, and it was indicated ar
rangements would be made. The
pay study was requested after 6

and men teachers was defeated.
The board voted to advertise fol-
bids for pointing brick walls, para
pet walls and stone work at Tinker
school, and for similar pointing ano
coping work at Barnard school, anc

cation was requested when a large

NEW POLICEWOMAN
GIVEN AUTHORITY
Aldermanic Board Makes
Her Constable; Black
Market Ordinance

One Of the busiest aldermanic
sessions in months was held last
night. Among the motions passed
upon was the sale Of the former
Novelty Company plant on Maple
street for $4,000 in lieu of all taxes
and other claims. The motion was
voted upon favorably by all Demo-
Gratis present and by minority floor
leader James w. Abercrombie (R).
The property was owned by the In
dustrial Properties Inc, now in re-
ownership.
Other matters handled by the
board at last nights meeting con-
sisted of the appointment of Mrs.
Mary Norgren as constable in con-
junction with her recent appoint
ment as Waterburys only police
woman. 1t was found after the po-
lice board had appointed her that
there were no provisions for giving
her full authority so the aldermen
were asked to appoint her as con-
stable thus giving her the powers
of policeman.
The motion proposed by majority
floor leader James NJ Lynch that
black market ordinance be put
into effect here in Waterbury was
referred to committee Corpora
ton Counsel Maurice r. Healey
drew up the ordinance which is
similar to the one drawn up by the
OPA and reported here.
