HOUSING LEFT

About all that's left Of the
original package is the housing
part, unconStralncd and unre-
Stricted. and the present program
is that the federal government
has gone into the commercial
housing business of building, and
playing landloard
While il may be gay fun and
a powerful political weapon for
the Fauntleroys. the Fountleroys
themselves are becoming unduly
expensive Injuries
SO far as ethics are concerned,

gram as authorized by Congress

lSm back in the mid-thirties,
rocked as vilely as anything that

Katherine O'Toole
Named To Grammar
Faculty By Board
Richard Kelly Of alpin Street Appointed JantOr; Pro-
posed Dept. Budget Highest in History; 5000 Over
Last Year Sought for Fairgrounds
CAT OK

Naugatuck, April IA two hun
dred dollar cost-of- living bonus for
teachers, principals and supervisors
and 10 per cent increase for school
department employees such as JAM
tors, outside workers and cafeteria
workers were approved by the board
OF education at its meeting Thurs
day afternoon.
The proposed budget is $263, 1893 or
$21,7 1893 higher than last years total
of $242, 100. The board would not
reveal detailed figures of the budget,
giving only the total. Supt. Chit
tenden explained that the board
wished to submit he detailed figures
to the board of warden and bur-
gesses first before releasing them
for publication.
Two appointments were made at
the meeting. Richard Kiely of Gal
pin street was appointed a school
janitor at salary Of $1,000 year
and he will be assigned by Mr.. Chit
tenden. It is assumed this action
was taken to fill the vacancy caused
by the resignation of Patrick Nc
Kean, Central avenue school janitor
recently appointed tax collector. It
was indicated Mr.. Kiely will not be
assigned to Central avenue school,
however.
Miss Katherine O'Toole of Manga
tuck, who Is teaching in Southbury,
was appointed to a grammar school
position here. She will start her
duties next September and a va
cancy is expected to occur before
then, Mr.. Chittenden said.
The budget sought is the highest
in the history of the school depart
ment and the increase Of over $21, 900
Is equal to more than a mill in the
tax rate.
The approved budget includes pro-
vision for 5000 more than last year
for Fairgrounds, Mr.. Chittenden
said, adding it is hoped to have
more supervised Fairgrounds here
this summer.
The budget request, particularly
approval of the pay increases, puts
the question Of final approval up
to the board Of warden and bur-
gesses. Fire, police and street de-
partment workers already have
sought increases.
Supt. Chittenden reminded that
June 10 is the final day of school
and said no holidays, other than
those Originally scheduled can be
allowed If schools are to make their
required schedule by that time.
