The foreign ministers expressed the
opinion that the Chinese cabinet was
willing to pay the necessary ransom.
but pointed out that the militarists
of China probably would intervene
and insist on continuing operations
against the bandits. The ministers
fear that the efforts to rescue the
prisoners will only endanger them
further and prolong the affair.

Councilman Mills. after Judge
Tammany said that. the ordinance

cil.‘ said that Chief rennington
should be asked to refrain from mak-
ing arrests on that day. He said that
the present. ordinance is about as
much use as two fails to a cow. but
that arrests were being made spas-
modicsll. He favored the "uo~ar—
rest" period for this day only. This
was voted on favorably.
Mao-or Burton then said that the
council had authorised something
that the corporation council had said
was illegal and Councilman James
asked why not vote to make the
suspension of arrests permanent. The
first actiui was then rescinded and
it was decided to request the chief to
instruct his men to be lenient. Judge
Tammany still insisted that the coun-
cil should not do this. but no furth-
er action was taken.
Accept lion's Offer
The report of the committee on
the matter of the acceptance of the
offer of John Sherman Hoyt of land
and a dock at Rowayton for public
use. was filed. It was pointed out in
the report that there would be a cost
of about 81.000. or less. to put the.
dock into first class condition. and
that William F. DcKlyn had offered
the city. gratis. a. float and runway.
the only expense to the city being
the taking of it to the new park
site. and the possible making of some
minor repairs. It was decided that
the Board of Estimate and Taxation
should be .. asked to appropriate
money sufficient to care for the re-
pairs to the dock. float and runway.
and it was stated that it was under-
stood that the Rovrayton Civic Asso—
ciation would take over the care of
the dock and. ofiat and the park. The
Civic Association reported that a
committee had been appointed. con-
sisting of Harry Bryan. A. B. Clev.
erley and William Jennings on this
matter.
The report of the committee was
signed by Joseph R. Tsyor. Clarence
R. Brown and Judge Tammany. and
it was accepted.
The resignation of Frederick H.
Quintard. as a member of the Board
of Estimate and Taxation was re-
ceived and accepted. Mr. Quintard
resigned because of pressure of other
business.
Dumps To Remain

but: that no action had been taken by
the council on the matter. It was ex.
pected to concentrate the garbage on
these dumps while the old dumps
were being covered over and the now
were also being covered.
By this method. he said. the dumps
can be kept in better shape. and
would not be any more objectionable
than at present and might be still
even lee objectionable.
Mr. Golden said that it. seemed a
peculiar thing to do. to take the gar-
bage from the outskirts and put it
practically in the center of the city.
and expect it to be is- of a nuhanee

used. He suggested Pent Swamp and
the old muons swamp as sizes that
should be tilled in by garbage and re-
fuse. so as to eliminate mosquito
breeding places as well.
Dr. Perdue said that an effort had
been made to better conditions. but
that he doubted the feasibility of hav-
ing two dumps used as suggested. 1.
e.. Orchard and 'Water streets. as
the cubic yard mileage would be
doubled. He produced figures which
showed that for a city having a popu-
lation of 42.500. the sum of 865,563
was appropriated for garbage removal
and disposal, while Norwalk only
appropriated 314,000 for an estimated
population of 26.000.
More money is need for the work
and Dr. Perdue said that he had no
doubt if the citisens appealed to the
Board of Estimate that the money
would be. forthcoming.
David B. Decker rose and spoke
and said that he had never allowed
any of his land to be filled in with
garbage by the city. and mentioned
that in 1921 he gave 65.000 bushels of
oyster shells to be used in filling in
unsightly spots. and that in 1922 and
so far this year ha. had given t5.000
bushels of shells for the same pur-
pose.
Attorney Davis said that the sum
of 84.500 for a truck was a small
amount. and that sufficient funds
should be provided to properly care
for the garbage situation. At the last
meeting an effort was made to pass
Councilman Mills' suggestion of a
spot for the disposal of garbage cues
aide the center of the city. but that
objection had been raised that this
was a matter that was up to the
Board of Health. Now the Board of
Health has said that the dumps had
not been properly cared for.
He also wished to know about a
meeting of the Health Board, a. "star
chamber" session, and said that all
of the members had not been notified
of the meeting.
The condition of Liberty Square is
a disgrace to the city. he said. due to
its proximlw to the Seas-low avenue
dump. He objected to dumping
grounds in the center of the city. The
members of the Board of Estimate
should realize the city is growing and
should appropriate funds enough to
meet changing conditions.
If garbage was not collected there
would be a mass meeting protest of
the citizens that would result in some
action being taken to remedy matters.
“Unis. something is done immedi-
ately to stop the dumping of garbage
in the thickly settled part of the
city." attorney Davis said. “there will
be legal action taken to make this
practice cease. Garbage should be
put on the outskirts."
Mayor Barton repeated that the
fewer number of places to be cared
for as dumps. the better attention
could be paid to them.

thought that the city should get two

He had lived near a. dump. which

The dumps should be covered over

cease and something can be made of
the dump property.
.John McMahon spoke about the
location of the two dumps. i.e. Orch-

the use of learn or gravel. or cinders

the dumps. He said there was no
