Leonard Caine. Mayor Adam T. Mengacci polled each Burgess Individually and ail spoke in favor of readopting the present ordinance after some passages are corrected and others revised.

Leading the opposition to Atty: Games proposed new ordinance was First Ward Republican Paul Anderson, who stated that he had checked intp the matter, and with the exception of two or three ragraphs, the proposal was entical with the Waterbury 2 Jaw. Afty. Caine con- nded that the proposal tirdly" the same as the Water- ury ordinance, but Burgess An- rson countered that it was thg me, with the exception of two three minor changes. Burgess Anderson also said at 'he had received from the orough Attorney a second pro- sal which "with one paragraph opped off the end and one on ailers dropped," is the same as present ordinance. He charged that the para- dealing with trailers was ken, out, arid contended that provisions of the paragraph ere recently upheld by tlie juris in a case in town ol artland.

Atty.

Caine answered that he 'ould "answer any question, but hcn someone attacks my posi- lon as a lawyer in court, I will ot answer." Third Ward Republican Buress Malcolm Wilson asked Atty. 7aine if "you are being courteous ow?" "I certainly am," was the reply. Later in the meeting Mr. Wilon rephrased the question over vhich the dispute with Burgess arose, asking "Will the ppeal be filed prior to the May 5 deadline?" Atty.
