The resignation of two police su- pernumeraries, Beecher Woodside and Edward Jenzell, were accepted at the meeting. MT. Woodside sub- mitted his resignation Tuesday afternoon, giving as his reason his work in Waterbury war plant pre- vented him from carrying out his police duties.
 The application of Howard J. Sag endorf, B, of 60 Carroll street, to join the police force, was accepted and placed on file. The report of Tax Comsr. w. W. Walsh on the as- sessor's office was accepted with Burgess Anderson terming it satis- factory, but adding he had hoped it would cover more territory.
 A lengthy discussion on coasting places for children resulted in de- cision to block off Cherry and Wal nut streets for sliding. Burgess J. Francis Cullen made a motion to this effect and the vote was to 1, Burgess Cullen and Anderson ap- proving 1t and Burgess Domenick DeCarlo dissenting.
 MT. DeCarlo explained he was against it because the first ward burgess had said they thought a vacant lot at the SincerboX property, Louis St., might be loaned for slid- ing. He added residents of Cherry street should not be inconvenienced if nearby sliding lot Is available. The action will make things safer for coasting, MT. Cullen intended and expressed the belief residents of that street will be willing to make minor sacrifices.
 Sliding on the two streets will be permitted between the hours of 2 and 5 p. m. and and 9 p. m.
