Scott-Smith. Al breakdown on the repair costs is revealed as follows: labor. si,93s; hired trucks, S47o and materials si,- aes.
 The heavy storms which ripped up sections of streets, washed out gravel and buckled road ways necessitated postponement of the street depart- ment's regular maintainsnce work for two weeks and meant the use of all available departmental men.
 A flight of steps running from Marley Place, to Shelley street. both dead-end thoroughfares present a problem to the city and the private property owner over whose land the steps have been constructed.
 The steps were constructed by the city some years ago on private prop erty but it cannot be determined at this time just how or why the city took the liberty of building on this land.
 Today the problem is that the steps are becoming decrepit and present a serious hazard to pedes- trians. The private property owner last night appeared for the second time before the works board and requested that the city either rec pair the steps or tear them down. He pointed out that he was Of the opinion that since they were orig finally constructed by the city they should be it's responsibility in a manner that would present no ob- ligations to him.
 It was likewise pointed out that these steps are in constant use as a shortcut convenience for resi- dents of that neighborhood. Mayor John s. Monagan, present at last nights meeting. raised the question as to whether public convenience and necessity makes it obligatory" on the city's part to maintain these steps.
 The matter was referred for fur ther study by the city's corporation counsel.
 Great brook and Little brook may be channeled and covered by con- crete as result Of a review of the matter at the works board last night. The engineering department will make further study as to the possibilities.
 Great brook runs from the Wa terbury Mfg. Co along the west side Of North Elm street and under the State and Loew's theaters, down Brook street. South Main and under the Farrel Foundry to empty into the Naugatuck river at the Brook lyn bridge. Little brook starts al Fulton park. runs across Grovs street, along the east of Cooke street. down North Main street and under the Brown building in the center joining Great brook under Brook street. Both brooks are enclosed from Naugtauck river northward to north of East Main street but above that are unenclosed,

guage barriers between German
prisoners of war employed in
New York state canning plants
and those who must instruct
them in the unaccustomed york
have been largely overcome by
a simple German primer pre-
pared for plant foremen.
The pamphlet, prepared by

illustrates each operation in the
canning process, with both Eng
lish and German commands for
performing it.
The former receive no special

nunciation is haphazard, but
