 Delegate

Nuagatuck. Aug. 7-No new mem- bers will be accepted by the Nauga- tuck Hose. Hook and Ladder associ. ation until after the war. it was voted recently.

 It was felt, Herbert C. Cockroft. foreman of the association eX- plained, that it would be only fair to them to defer action on new members until seryicemen had a chance for enrolment.

Correspondent. Larry shepley-Phone Naugaauek sSsS

Naugatuck. Aug. 7- Repairs on the Gem theater. before it may again be used as gathering place. will cost approximately s3.000 and no action toward the proposed re- pairs on the theater or other parts of the Town Hall can be taken un- tll the board of welfare meets Aug. ia. it was learned today.
 Comsr. Hickey. in notifying Eu- gene and Ralph Pasho. manager and lessee of the theater, and War den leo ]. Broplly of the improve ments necessary. said that if his recommendation were compiled with, a certificate of approval would be issued for the theater. This certi- ficate was cancelled after the the- ater was found hazardous.
 Whether the board of Warden and burpesses would approve the repairs to put the tlaeater again in use for public assembly remains to be seen.
 If the board should refuse it would mean the termination of the lease. But 1t would also mean that the upper part of the Town Hall could not be used for high. school gradua- ton. amateur plays or town meet ings.
 No appropriation for improvement on the town hall is included in the budget for the fiscal year. To some the recommendation indicate that the borough will soon have to plan erection of a new municipal build- ing, for the present one is well past its prime.
 A few "extremely minor" changes were required to be made at the Alcazar theater. mad these have already been compiled with, George Rabbott, manager or the theater, said today.
