The Cottage Or ‘‘Castle”
The Italian cottage, which could

"castle,” Is a beautiful structure
made of stone and stucco with a
tile roof. Such famous Italian ar
chitects as Brunelleschi, Michelan

ly ba proud of this modern struc
ture which adhere to Roman ar
chitecture. It was designed by Ar
chitect Joseph DeLarutes of this

Architect Gerard J. Sitters who, i
Incidentally, has drawn the plans
for all of the buildings at the set
tlement.
There are three rooms in the
Italian house, a kitchen, with Its
huge fireplace and cooking range
or oven, and two bedrooms. Two
massive beds are featured among
the hundreds of novel, but authen

cious cellar with olive oil and wine
making equipment which will in
vite considerable Interest. Ijt
might be pointed out that the
“Casa Itallana” has a touch of the
Phoenicians, the Egyptians, the
Greeks and the Etruscans, and
makes one visualize a picture of
that dominant country of the Medi
terranean world, Italy. Houses like
this one at Settlers’ Village are to
be found in various sections of the
well known European kingdoms
which stands in the middle of the
Mediterranean peninsula. One of
the biggest features of the Italian
house is the balcony which graces
the front of the building.

G.O.P. Primary Dates
May Be Set Soon
Palomba Finally to Take Action—Scramble for
Places Sure as Sections Ask Representation
Chided by members o£ his own
party for his failure to get the
g. o. p. primaries underway, Town
Chairman Frederick W. Palomba
has at last decided to swing into
action. It is expected that he will
call the g. o. p. town committee
together this coming week to set
the dates for the republican pri
maries and the city, town, and
dchool conventions.
Setting of the date for the pri
maries will, it is reliably reported,
set In motion a large group op
posed to the Pape dominance in
the party. Already the right of the
Pape group to dictate who will go
to the conventions and who will
be nominated on the election tick
et has been questioned.
Now, with the date for the pri
maries about to be set candidates
for places on various parts of the
ticket are starting to rush to the
front and the Pape-Palomba-Lar
kin combine strongly fears an up
rising that will shake their organ
ization considerably. Demands are
flying in from all sides for places
on the board of aldermen. In other
words, it is felt that the present
republican aldermen have held of
fice long enough and should give
way to new facts.
Those being prominently men
tioned as candidates for the board
of aldermen Include William Cur
tis, Albert LoeffJer, William Kol
beck, Pasquale Perriello, George
Towle and Burton Walker. The
latter is said to be after the place
on the board held by Simeon Nich
ols, inspector of the state liquor
control commission.
Bunker Hill has come through
with a demand that it be given the
town flerk’s nomination. It has
also been learned. The Pape fac
tion has already proposed Mrs.
Elisabeth Coe for that place on
the ticket.
Elias Robert Stevenson, manag
ing editor of the American and
Republican, is being groomed once
more by Publisher Pape for a
place on the ticket. He is expect
ed to go on as a candidate for the
board of education. Two years ago
Editor Stevenson was a candidate
for the board of education. Out of
the ten candidates nominated by
the democrats and the republicans
Mr. Stevenson turned out to be the
low man so he was not declared
elected. There are only nine mem
bers on the school board.
The four local republican con
stables are also on the defensive.
There is a decided scramble for
these four positions.
Therefore, when the primaries
take place the Pape party will And
that It has ndt got all clear sailing
ahead. Already, the Pape organiza
tion h s begun to make up the
slate of delegates to the city, town
and school conventions but there
are many protests being heard be
cause nobody is approved by the
Pape forces for the post of dele
gate until he or she pledges sup
port of the hand-picked candi
dates of the "steering committee."
BIDS ASKED FOR
P. O. SHRUBBERY
Waterbury’s climate, or then It
may be the carelessness of passers
by and youngsters, just doesn't
seem to agree with the shrubbery
and hedges at the front and side
of the postoftice on Grand street.
Though new pieces have been
added from time to time during
the past year and a half, and tile
shrubs and hedges given good
care, it has been found necesShry
to landscape the postoffice prop
erty entirely onoe again.

MOTOR TESTS TO
START NEXT WEEK
Freight Street to Be Site;
Engineer to Describe
Inspections
Inspection of automobiles, made
mandatory by a law passed at the
recent session of the general as
sembly, will begin in Waterbury
next week. The tests are expected
to start Tuesday, but no official
announcement has yet been made
by the state department of motor
vehicles. Nevertheless the first
tests, to be taken voluntarily, will
probably begin Tuesday on the
testing grounds set up on Freight
street.
Next Wednesday night garage
owners and service men will meet
at the Hotel Elton to hear the new
inspections and tests described and
explained by Wilbur L. Cross, Jr.,
chief engineer of the motor vehicle
department, who is in charge of
the tests. The session is being
sponsored by the Connecticut Au
tomotive Trades association, the
Naugatuck Valley Auto Service
men’s association, and the Water
bury Automobile Dealers associa
tion.
Temporary buildings, needed for
the handling of the car tests have
been erected on Freight street.
Permanent structures will be
placed there later, as soon as
enough funds have accumulated.
The funds will come from the 26
cent fee that each driver must pay
to have his car inspected.
The tests are now obligatory
twice yearly all over the state. Per
manent inspection forces will prob
ably be retained in each of the
larger cities as soon as the test
ing set-up is found to be In full
working order.

be presented Mrs. Mary Mellon,
mother of Hugh Mellon who was
killed in action in France, and to
George Banfe. B. Mellon and

ument at the Green to the Village
