hard pressed population of the for

ern wing, advancing on a 16-mile
front, joined forces at Mga after
capturing q score or more local

Chief and the other administrative
officers was the effect upon ad-
joining homes, and other buildings,
for the sparks were large and
heavy and landed mostly in the
direction of Bunker Hill avenue
and highways leading therefrom.
But the heavy SHOWS of a few days
previous, we think, prevented and
saved many of the residences up in
that particular section of the city.
Property owners were Scary, and
they had just reason to be. For our
own part, Captain Legge and the
Marshal, in our close survey of
conditions almost from the begin
ming, we commend the excellent
work Of Chief Cavanaugh, and
every fireman in attendance.
Following the fire, as called for
by law, the MarshalS Office con-
Quoted an inquiry, during which
many witnesses were examined. in

the company. and various employees
and residents of the district. In
this investigation we were ably as
sisted by representatives of the
state MarShal's office, Lieutenant
Paul Lavan, and Officer James Par
rott, and Officer Jesse Foley. Our
inquiry disclosed that dry saw-dust
was used to soak up oils, that there
was a storage of kerosene oil, and
other oils, and that there was a
good sized container of SCOT re-
mover, of an explosive tendency,
located within the vicinity of the
first start of the fire. There were
conditions that might bring about
fire of itself.
The factory employed in all
about 70 hands, and was engaged
in war production at the time
These were some of the factors
that saddened us as we saw flame

matter of destruction. In addition,

Ambrose H. Wells, a high type citi-

was to commemorate a factory in

the evidence produced at the hear
ing showed a feeling of friendliness
and good will on the part of all en-

Conclusion - After a close study
Of the evidence presented, a survey
of the premises affected, and other
questions raised, it is our finding
that a Smouldering fire emanated
from conditions in and about the
premises, broke into flame at the
ignition period, and thereby
brought about the destruction OF
the plant. This finding is concur

Politics
III
Passing

It's more or less generally agreed
that only in Waterbury and Dam
bury did the Republicans fail to
show anticipated gains during 1943.
All Of which might indicate that the
Brass City and Hat Town might be
expected to play a prominent part
in the plans for the state campaign
this fall. Had the late Vincent Scully
not died year ago there's no doubt
but what he might at this time
be the hope of the party as its CUB
ernatorial candidate, If ne could
have been prevailed upon to divide
his interest between waterbury and
the state. The question now is, will
state leaders still gravitate towards a
Waterburian? Mention of Mayor
John 8. Monagan, who is gaining
politically, increases. And there's
ALWAYS the ex-chairman Of the state
central committee. j. Francis Smith,

The absence Of Mayor John S.
MOnagan from Waterbury this
past week is said to be the reason
the police board did not proceed
to name a head Of the detective
bureau. However, there are those
who claim that even If the mayor
hadn't been away at Chicago
conference the board might have
withheld action, because there
seems to be no unanimity among
Democratic leaders as to the best
nominee for the position. It's I'M
fortunate, Of course, that the de-
partment has not been so cOnsti-
tuted in the past that now there
would be a natural successor to
the late Joe" Stevens as head Of
the detectives. That was point
of the Zimmerman critique on the
police department; it's one Of the
things that Mayor Monagan would
like to eliminate and appears to
be aiming at in his frequent re-
