 Prosecutor Frederick w. Palomba issued the warrant yesterday on complaint of the Fire Marshal that suitable fire exit had been lacking since September Attorney Gager said the delay had been caused by the necessity of obtaning permis- sion from the owners of neighboring buildings to install the fire escape and the difficulty in obtaining structural steel.

The committee yesterday urged that repair work at the parish house be started as soon as possible 50 that the Center might be available for the summer months. It will be used for school-age children. Pres ent plans call for transfer of 35 children in this group from the Kingsbury Center with an addition of Il more from the kindergarten group in the fall.
 There is lengthy waiting list of pre-school children at Kingsb'lry and transfer of the school-age chii- 6ren will make it possible to ac- commodate all of them.
 Considerable plumbing and car pentry work will be done at the St Johns Center to make it available for children. These alterations were contemplated in 1944, but due to the fact that personnel to man the center was unavailable, it Waa decided not to undertake any of the repair work until such time as trained help could be secured. With assurances of adequate help now, it is believed that the work will be started as soon as the necessary ar- arrangements can be handled for the same by City Purchasing Director Henry J. Bowling.
 According to yesterdays discus sion Miss Marguerite Hammond, now assisting Miss Marjorie Rolfe at the Long Hill Center, will ba transferred to the St. Johns Gen. ter and placed in charge ot it. The present arrangement of Miss Paul line Moor continuing as active di- rector of all local Child Care pro- jects will also be in force, it IS be- lieved.
 A continuing nede for Child Care facilities in Waterbury has been demonstrated by an increase in at tendance att hose presently operat- ing. The Kingsbury Center is at capacity now, the Long Hill Center reporting new applications for ad- mission.
