lt was brought out that the Boatd5
of Estimate during its last sessions:
made about 1l0 appropriations. This‘,
means that according to the charter
the city treasurer must each month
submit to the council a report show
big no balances. instead of, this
voluminous method, it is the idea or
the accountingxcolumlttee to have the
city clerk submit a condensed report
which will show intelligently and
concisely the condition of The-city
for each month, the details of the
tzhnsaetions to be round spread on
the books of the city clerk in his of~
fiee. .
To do this the mayor. called the
Board of Intimate to meat with the
council to express thelli views on the
matter. Each of the members. with
the exception of Louis S. Beers, was
in favor. and the pernlisoion .was
granted. Auditor William E. Keillor
addressed the members concerning
the‘pian. ..
Charles ‘W. Bell said the beat plan‘
was to have the most economical
system that would nbt Jeopardlre
safety. So far as he saw the plan.
as outlined above, was all right
William H. McMahon saw no cause
for objection. So for as the booka
were to be in the city clerk‘s office
he was satisfied.
Attorney Louis 5. Beers didn't'llke

and he would not endorse it.
Michael J. Riordan said that oaths
old City of Norwalk council the city
clerk each meeting night placedon
every councilman's desk the money
his department had spent and w
amount of the original appropriat
was left. This system was an excel
lent one. and is almost identical with
the special accounting committee‘s.
He therefore favored it.-
J. Wallace Marvin expressed him-
self as favoring the plan.
William J. Malone, of the Board of
Estimate. was not present at the
ting.
he council‘voted not to accept the
sale for the movable apparatus 'of
that district. This was upon advice
of Corporation Counsel Edward M.
Lockwood. who said-the council'was
not warranted to accept it. and it was
not in form.
Corporation Counsel Lockwoou said
that the phraseology of the bill of
sale read the apparatus of the district
would be transferred “in trust" This
would not give the city title to it, and

Tilt mayor wanted to know if the
mute" was to go on record sanc-
tioning any such action as taken by
the board of eductition, who counted
their chickens 'before they were
hatched.
Upon the motion of Councilman Ed-
gar G. Murphy. the mayor was naked ‘
unanimously to warn the'members of
the attending board. who, are to be
told future action of this nature will
not be countenance»
‘Corporatlon Counsel Lockwood said
that the membdrs of the board of edu
cation made themselves individually
liable by purchasing something with-
out having any appropriation. and ac»
cording to the charter the individual
members or the board could be made
to pay for the architect's work.
The corporation counsel received
from the Blue Ribbon Gal-agent com-
munication yesterday morning con-
cerning the much discussed mortgage
of $200 on the property purchased by
the city on Franklin avenue.
The company places the entire re-
sponsibility upon former Corporation
Counsel William F Tammany. Judge
Tammany said when the matter of
purchase was first broached he knew
of the warranty deed, but all there was
an extended interval between the con-
sum ation cf the deal and that time,
’ thought the matter was cleared
Corporation Counsel Lockwood did
not ugeee with the Blue Ribbon peo-
pic that the responsibility rested on
~ 'Mr. Tammany. He said it was up on-
tirely to the garage people. He was
authorized by the council to take
whatever steps he” sawmill. and to
bring suit if necessary, to clear the
deed up.
No action was taken upon an offer
received ‘from the first district com-
missioners regarding furnishing Nara
make Home with water. Mayor Han
strom says water is the only thing
lacking at the home. it is estimated
it will cost about $5,000 to lay pipes
from Westport avenue to the Home,
the city to pay an annual fhcome each
year of -.14 per cent. on that amount.
The matter will be taken up at a later
date.
Mrs. R. E. Morrison, of the East
Nor-walk improvement Association.
asked the council‘s permission to hold
an oyster supper, January 28th in the
Mayho‘war Hook and Ladder Company
house. As the property has not yet
been leased. the mayor said this in yet

will be referred to the third district

Captain Montgomery stated that the
object of the gathering was to femu-

organization that would prove bene-
ficial to the men. It had not been
determined yet whether this should
be in the form of insurance, sick or‘

ly on the social order. He advocated
having a baseball team and athletic
field where good wholesome sports
could be indulged in. and thought such
a thing would be helpful and appre-

General Manager Cavanagi appoint a
committee from all departments of

matter. and this. committee could aub-
out a report at some future gather-
