Debarred from borrowing money in anticiupation of sewer assessment collections, the board of finance and taxation has been required to drop its plan for procuring $25,009 in this manner and now turns to the bal- ances in public works department funds as a source. Unless the board passes a vote to pormit use of these funds under the agreement that they will be returned later in the year when inter-departmental transfers are made, sewer operations must discontinue. i Mayor Paonessa is opposed to any postponement of sewer work, calling attention to the need for connections in several parts of the city, and! *ulso to conditions of unemployment which will be greatly * relieved if $25,000 s made available. | Three New Britain men, James J. tichie, Leo J. Lasky, and Andrew Zembko, were arrested at the Velo- drome in East Hartford, yesterday afternoon during the football game between the New Britain Nutmegs and the Hartford Giants. Zembko, it Is alleged. struck a peanut vendor, Lasky struck the police officer who tried to arrest Zembko and Richie was arrest for interfering. “You can't arrest me,” Richie is aid to have told the officer when he attempted to place him under ar- rest, but apparently he was wrong because the officer did arrest him. The cases came up in East Hartford court this morning, but the peanut vendor wus not present and the cases were continued until December 6. They are under bonds of $100 each. This wus probably the worst of several altercations which took place t the game. No other arrests were iade. Richie i8 29 years old and lives at 489 Main strect.

Cofiin Causes Free-for-All While fans were watching this event, another attraction was being staged in another part of the field. A group of New Britain fans at- tempted to bring a coffin out on the gridiron and their efforts were blocked by a large group of Hart- fordites. Another fight ensued, but the police put a stop to it before it could gain headway. 130 Men In Iight Although there were several fights on the field, the greatest fight was outside the grounds in a vacant lot in every avallable automobile and went to Willow Brook park for the bonfire.

They then fought side by side against fans from their arch rival's city. Peace Restored at 8 o'Clock By about 6 o'clock Saturday night Hartford was restored to its usuul peaceful routine.
