Warden Leo J. Brophy during the week-end broke 'the silence, which has existed since the December meeting of the board, claiming there are only two vacancies to be Illiod on the regular police force, which would bring the department up to its quota of 36 members.

A check of the police roster today revealed the force at present totals 33 men, 15 regulars, which includes four officers, 38 supernumeraries. Authorities of the police department state there arc three regular vacancies and the need for the appointment of an additional regular for which an appropriation was made at the lust freemen's meeting. The warden today said he feels "the people of Naugatuck have been led to believe they are not fretting' proper protection." He em- phaticafly denied there is lack of protection in the borough by cither the police or fire department, where onp vacancy exists. Questioned as to why the board members wrangle each month ovei' the appointments if there no need lor regular policemen and firemen borough as long as supernumerary patrolmen and a' part-time fireman arc covering the: disputed jobs, he said "the board possibly (eels it should make formal appointments." Warden Brophy asserted it'is bis belief that as long as "all the po- I lice beats established during- the pnst several years are being cov creel or manned, there is no im mediate need for board appoint ments." However, in a portion of nib statement issued during the weekend he said. "I have several times urged the board to promote three supernumerary police to regulai duty and to consider the promotion of an additional regular who would do relief duty on the days off, illness periods, and vacation .....10 iiiio.vanui; to which uli regulars are entitled and for which tunds were appropriated last May."
