Step-father's Charge Leads to Son s Arrest Accused Borrow Auto to
 Get Married; Sentenced to
 Reformatory for Violating Parole

Dan Cupid took the witness stand in City Court this morning in behalf of 23-year-old Edmund Arm strong of 79 Kingsbury Street but 1t wasn't enough to get the accused an acquittal on charge of taking car without permission. Instead Judge John L. Gaffney sentenced the youth to an indetermlnate sem tence in the Cheshire Reform School after Prosecutor Frederick w Palomba informed the court that Armstrong, sentenced to the reform school last year, had violat- cd his parole.
 The accused, returned here yes- terday by Sgt. Charles McWeeney from Elkton, Md, told the court that he was picked up there by po- lice a short time after he called his mother here to request money with which to get married. He said that l., borrowed his step-father's car for the sole purpose of going to Maryland for the wedding ceremo- nieS. He intended, he said, to re- turn the car as soon as he was wed, and added he had told his mother 50 over the phone.
 His step-father, James L. Banks of the same address, however, had . warrant sworn out for Arm strong's arrest.
 Ex-soldier John Guerriero, 23, of 520 South Main Street, charged with failure to return lost goods, received a suspended sentence af- te- he pleaded nolo contendre to the charge. Teh accused, discharged less than two months ago from the Army, where he had served 42 months, was arrested last Tuesday by Detective Sgt. Charles McWee- ney and Detective Joseph Dunphy following a report by painter working at the home of Police Com missioner William Black at 63 Col umbia Backward, that his watch hnd been stolen from his vest pock- ct while the garment hung on rack.
 Guerriero testified that the watch, found by police in the compartment of truck owned by the firm for which the accused worked, had been placed there with the intention of trying to locate the owner later. EIe told the court that he discovered the watch on the basement floor when he spilled can of ashes which he was removing from the cellar.

Continued from Page D
 tached letter dated March 2S, l946 and, to date we have not had the consideration of a reply. According ly, we request that this matter be published.
 The Council of Community Clubs through it's delegates from member Community Clubs is not opposed to an Airport for Waterbury but we all know that there are many things more urgently needed right now than an expensive airport project at time of restrictions and high prices for building materials and land. The Waterbury Airport at Mt. Tobe and the Bethany Airport are not too busy and should be adequate to take care of our air travel re- quirements, at least until we get caught up on our streets sidewalks, sewers, water extensions, etc.
 The voters and taxpayers of Waterbury feel that we should all be ashamed of the condition of our streets. The roads and streets in the outlying districts of the city are even worse and residents there have generally received the highest tax revaluation increases.
 "The Mayors annual report did point out that the Bureau of Streets, Sewers and Water have been handicapped by shortages, however, we all sincerely hope that now we will have some real im- provements. Visitors report our streets to be the worst in the state. The way the streets were taken care of during the snow and ice storms cannot be overlooked. Had this been done properly, We would have had less accidents and dam age to our few remaining automo- piles, trucks and bllsses Although our Street Superintendent has stated that the sanding of icy streets has added greatly to his operating expenses this winter, his annual report indicates a surplus of $75, 66S for the Street Department this year. We pay our taxes-why can't we get decent roads.
 Our Street Department seems to lack either the know-how or the will to do. There are streets and roads that have been continually patched up year after year at the same spots. A few shovelS of "cold patch" is thrown in and in very short time 1t is just as bad again. The work is done over and over again with little thought or en- gineering behind it. Surely, it can- not be lack of funds when we con- tinually show surpluses. Why not get organized with proper man. power and equipment and do a real job the same as the State Highway Department. They. too, were 'handi- capped by shortages of materials, labor and a tremendous increase in the costs of materials but Con- necticut highways are maintained in fine shape the year around.
 'The business of building, repair ing and maintaining the streets of Waterbury surely warrants capable full time supervision. Our rough. worn out streets are beyond re- claiming by prediction oiling and the people will no longer be satis- fled with these make-shift methods. The city Is in no position to be thinking of expensive airports when our present services are in such a bad way If the administration is unable to take care Of essential services. how do they ever expect t0 build and manage on airport, Why not take care of first thingE first, and provide permanent up-t0- date roads ane streets in Wategs ". o.
