CELL BLOCK NOT
TO Be UTILIZED
Koran Firm Still Seeks
Quarters for RevaIua-
ton Work

George B. Koran and represen-
tatives of his appraisal firm, which
has been granted the contract for
revaluation of all real and personal
property in waterbury, met last
evening with the city's revaluation
committee.
1t has been decided to abandon
the idea of utilizing the cell block
in the women's division Of the police
department as headquarters fol
Mr.. Horan's firm resulting from q
recommendation on the part Of po-
lice officials who pointed out the
occasional need for use Of this cell
block.
No other space in the city hall
or other quarters seemed suitable
and the question of renting office
space in some nearby building is
being given consideration. 1t is
understood that authorities looked
into such available space as the
report center in the basement Of
the city hall and other quarters
which for one reason or another
were ruled out.
Mr.. Koran showed the committee
the detailed and elaborate card he
has devised for adoption of all
pertinent information in the revalu-
alton program. II is believed that
he will soon undertake the hiring
of the extra help which undoubted.
ly will be needed soon.
