Truck Driver
Found Guilty

Continued from Page y
Connecticut without proper braking
equipment runs not only to the
driver but to Arthur Infeld and to
Joseph Christiana, living at 2 East
Waterbury Road, Naugatuck, and
employed by Mr.. Infeld as his fore
man and repair man. How long this
truck was allowed to operate on the
highways Is uncertain but there is
no question that 1t did so operate
from the 30th Of May until the mo-
ment Of the accident and that 1t
was so opearted at all times to the
knowledge Of both Mr.. Infeld and
his foreman.
"On the morning in question 1t
was operated along Falls Avenue,
Watertown Avenue, Huntingdon
Avenue and Thomaston Avenue, all
public streets. After the truck en-
tered the machine shop gate the
driver was directed 20 proceed to q
bin located on the westerly edge Of
the Metal Works grounds or on
the banks Of the Naugatuck river.
Having picked up a portion of his
load there the driver proceeded
northerly along this road, inside the
Chase plant, until he came to the
road first described as crossing at
right angles the instant railroad
track. The distance from this bin
to the point Of crossing was about
600 feet. The driver. in high gear
passed over several other track:
and proceeded to cross the instant
track. He did not bring his truck
to a stop. He did not shift to ans
of the lower gears, He did not looh
to the north or the south to see Il
there were traffic upon the rail
but proceeded directly, at a higi
rate of speed, on to the tracks.
AT the same moment the steam
locomotive, owned by the ChasI
Brass a. Copper Company, was pro-
ceeding southerly along the track
Dryer was the man in charge o.
the movement, and his engineel
ard only other member OF the crew
was Louis Nichols. The evidence i
that the engineer proceeded south
erly along the track and as tn
locomotive approached the inter
section, Dryer, riding the righ
front eoW-catcheF. left the engine
proceeded down TO the intersection
indicated to the engineer the RICH
to proceed across the roadway. re

100000. Members Of the City
Housing Authority and City Hous-
ing Advisory committee generally
feel this cost to be excessive.
Heights Feasible
Considered the most feasible site
is the Hamilton Heights Federal
project where a strip Of level land
now exists. This is located near
Rawley and Neil Streets. on the west
side Of the project now established
there.
City Engineer Charles Root last
week reported that preparations fol-
this site, to hold i3 buildings and
l04 units, would cost $52,.
$50. Mr.. Roots estimate was, ST..
600 for landScaping, S24, 280 for sew.
ers. water pipe extensions, etc, ane
5000 for grading.
Few other sites are available L
T. Scott-Smith. city plan engineel
said today, except those which woulC
have to be leased thus adding Il
the overall cost. Other city lant
available would be even more ex
pensive than the Hamilton Height
project, he said.
