Reign of Claudius

Both lived during the reign OF
the Emperor Claudius; both died
on the same day; and that both
were buried on the Via Flaminia,
but at different distances from
Rome.
The association of the lovers
festival with St. Valentine seems
to arise from the fact that the feast
of the saint falls in early spring,
and is purely accidental.
But it is not accidental that the
postman will be more heavily Ia

job while continuing his work as
secretary of the Chamber of Com
merce with the help Of an assis-
tant.
Another big step toward the
city's improvement was made
when the council gave the "go-
ahead signal to architect j. B.
Lynch to draw up preliminary
plans for the city's auditorium.
1t was unanimously agreed that
the auditorium in Augusta, Ca,
would serve as an ideal working
model. This building, erected in
1910 at an approximate cost of
$435, 900, has all the modern fea-
lures of steel and concrete fire
proof construction.
The most notable feature is
the two-Way stage, which faces the
large auditorium on one side and
the smaller Emusic half on the
other. In this way, events attract.
ing big audiences may be held in
the large auditorium, whereas
events with smaller attendance
may be held in the ''cozier" music
hall.
Among the events which council.
men hope to see take place in the
auditorium are: conventions,
sporting events such as basket
ball games, stage shows, concerts,
and public addresses.
The basement of the building will
likely have a large hall for events
such as flower exhibitions, public
dances, and banquets.
Also included in the tentative
plans is a service kitchen which
will be used to supply food, through
a caterer, to banquets.

Lawyer Must Show Income On Property
 John Cassidy
 Also Ordered to Give
 Construction Cost

Common Pleas Court Judge Thomas J. Wall handed down a memorandum today ordering Attor- ney John H. Cassidy to make dis closures on annual gross and net in- come during the past three years on three pieces of property involved in his individual tax assessment ap- peal case.
 The court also ordered Cassidy to disclose the costs of construction of each of the buildings he erected. The property on which the appeal is based is located at 35-37 Leaven- worth Street, 21-25 Leavenworth Street, and 322-2S West Main Street.
 The disclosures were sought in a motion by the City of Waterbury.
 Judge Wall points out in his memorandum that Cassidy did not file any appeal to the Board of Tax Review, and that the issue before the court is whether the amounts are manifestly excessive, which means so out of proportion to it's value that it was arrived at by dis regarding the valuation law"
 He states that legal illnesses and examination with legal telescope as far as the disclosure motion is concerned should be kept within bounds, and it behooves the court to keep the parties as near to the center of the field as possible rather than place either of them on the one-yard line"

Superior Court Judge Thomas E. Troland today ordered an account ing on loam removed by John Gala bro of Waterbury from Cheshire property which he owns jointly with his wife, Mrs. Carmela Calabro, also of this city.
 The court set the price of 50 cents for each load or two yards of loam.
 The order was issued in connect ion was Mrs. Calabro's $7,000 civil action against her husband, the trial on which ended yesterday after noon.
 Judge Troland found the issues for the plaintiff on the first count of her complaint, in which she claimed that her husband had re- moved soil, sand, and gravel from their property, and caused it's value to depreciate.
 He also found the issues for Mrs. Calabro on her husbands cross complaint, in which he claimed that he bought the property but gave his wife part-title in consideration for her Hove and affection" He claimed the agreement was that title would revert to him as soon as the love and affection ceased.
 Judge Troland ruled that Mrs. Calabro is not entitled to an in function as sought in the second count, asking that operations on the property cease. He ruled also that she is not entitled to damages on the first count, other than recovery of the sums due under the account ing.
 In regard to a third count, involv- ing another piece of property, the court ruled that the property shouid be partitioned by a sale, and said the court would appoint committee to make the sale.
 Judge Troland pointed out that the accounting was limited to "a narrow compass" covering the period from Sept. s, 1945 to April 12, 1s46, because 'the plaintiff never intend- ed at any time, and 1t was not the intention of the parties prior 10 Sept. 5, 1946 that she should par ticipate directly in the proceeds of the loam removed from the prerni- ses."
 Mrs. Calabro will receive. pay ments only for loam removed during the specified period, according to the memorandum.

AVG. Plans Bonus Poll
 Meeting Indicates
 Opposition Here

Individual members of Waterbury Chapter, American Veterans Com mittee, will be polled by mail this week to determine their stand on the state bonus issue, Arthur P Greenblatt, chairman of the chap ter, said today.
 0reenblatt explained that the State Council of AVG. has asked each chapter to conduct g survey among it's members so that the issue can be brought before the General Assembly.
 At meeting of the chapter held at the Y.M.C.A. last night, the state bonus question was, placed before the members. The chapter as a unit took no definite stand either favoring or opposing a state bonus. Greenblatt said today that the chapter will not go on rec ord regarding the bonus until every member is polled.
 Opposition to the bonus by in- dividual members of the chapter was great at last nights meeting. Stating that the bonus would place a heavy tax burden on the public Greenblatt said that 1t is against the principles of AVG. He said it does not meet with the organi- zation's slogan, Citizens First, Vet erans Second"
 Members favored the relaxation of regulations controlling money in the state Soldiers, Sailors and Marines Fund. It was stated that veteran has to be "pauper" at present in order to obtain aic through the fund. The func should be available to veterans foi hospital emergencies or maternity cases, Greenblatt said.
