The City

In accordance with the recom-
mendation of the Ordinance Com-
mittee, at the meeting of the Com-
mon Council last evening, it whs
voted to drop the building permit
fee .starting September 1, if the
change in the ordinance met with
the approval of the corporation
counsel. This matter was included
in the report of the Ordinance Com-
mittee which also recommended that
one 11:11 king ordinance be enforced
by the city.

Councilman Benton stated that he
did not think that the fee should be

salary of the Building Inspector and
pointed out. that a fee was charged
for milk permits and to register dogs.
Councilman Pohlman declared
that there was a. difference between
the registration of dog licenses and
milk permits and the issuing of
building permits. He did not. be—
lieve a. man should be penalized for
wishing to build his own home.

Councilman Frizzell also expres-
sed the same sentiments and stated
that he knew of an instance where
a. man’intended to erect s. 550.000
home in this city. but would‘not do
so because he had to pay $100 for

*Commlttee Urges

to Abolish

a building permit. He also stated
that the members of the committee
in going over the ordinances, had
found flvo parking laws and that
they had eliminated four of them
from the records and left what they
thought was the best one to be en-
forced. He stated that the 1S‘Iealtb
ordinance had been referred back to
the Health Department, so that a
sanitary inspector might be included
in it.

Councilman Riordan in speaking
on the report of the Committee also
urged the abolishment of the build-
ing permit fee and said that he did
not believe tbe‘amount taken in
from these permits was needed for
the salary of the inspector as this
should be paid by the city, as was
the case in other departments.

Councilman Pohlman said that he
hoped a. strong ordinance preventing
peddlers from coming into this city
would be presented by the commit-
(ee. Councilman Frizzell replied
that such an ordinance would be
brought in at a, later date.

The recommendations of the
Committee also included the abolish-
ment of the $5 fee for the license
to do electrical work in the city. as
stated in the Electrical ordinance.

Goodwin’s Offer Too

rm 3 n Riordan Dc-

— The matter of widening North
Main street, was brought up at the
meeting of the Common Council last
evening, when Councilman Riordan
reported on the offer of Harry Good—
win, to give the city a. portion of land
in front of the Mahackemo build-
ing.

’lhe Councilman stated that .\
committee had gone over this matter
and that as Mr. Goodwin wanted the
widening of the street to go around
the building to he Golden store,
they did not think it advisable lu
start work. because it would take too
nmuch money because of the number
of coal pockets under the street.

He stated 'however, that a. plan
was being gone over by the Commit-
tee for the widening of the entire
section from the Palace Lunch in
North Main street around to a. point
near the entrance of the Mahack-
emo. He' stated thatvsll otrthe land
owners that had been‘ interviewed
were willing to give land to the city
for 3113 work. He said that Mr.
Temko, the owner of ,the Temko
building was the only one that had
not been heard from. Mr. (12ka
is in Chicago.

This is much needed improve-

COMPLAINTS

Conditions Deplorable
In Some Places Resi-
dents Declare—e
Mayor Gives Advice

Petitions were presented to the
Common Council last evening from
residents of Lorena street. W'lnsor
place and the lower end of Lexing-
ton avcnuefasking that sewers be
laid in those streets, as conditions
were deplorable. Residents of Hart-
ford place. also asked that this
street be put. in condition. -

These petitions caused consider-
able discussion as to sewer. sand
and sidgwalk conditions in the city.
Residents of the streets asking for
seWers sp 0 on the conditions.
They urged that something be done,
as sanitary conditions Were very
bad. The petitions were all re-
ferred to the Street. Department for
investigation and Councilman Rior-
dan’ stated that they would be ta.-
zien up today.

Mayor Robins stated that the ad-
ministration wouid like to lay a
great many sewers that were much
needed. but that no money was
av allable. He said that if the mo-
ncy was appropriated that the work
would be done. He urged the mi-
dents of these streets to be present
at the meetings of the BoIrd of E:-
timate and Taxation and ask that
the appropriations be made.

Councilman Wolfe urged that.
somefllinléms- Acne about the road
in Lexington avenue. He stated that
a. gas main was being laid there at
the present time and this put the
street in a worse condition.

Councilman Pohlman stated that
he had noticed that. in a number of
streets. in which the Connecticut
Light and Power Company had laid
gas mines that they had left the
street in very bad condition, leaving
large st ones on the top of the road
bed. He mentioned Spring street, as
an example. Councilman Riordan
stated that he would take this mat-
ter up with the Connecticut Light
and Power Company.

The matter of sidewalks in the
City was brought up by Councilman
Pohlman when he asked that anoth-
er catch basin be installed in Ohio
a1cnue and was informed by Coun-
cilman Riordan. that it was impos-
sible to put in another basin. as
there was neither curb nor gutter
there. He stated that most resident
of Fairfleld Park had laid sidewalks
but no curb nor gutter.

Councilman Benton stated that the
condition of sidewalks in the city
was very bad a. motion that an order
be issued for all sidewalks in the
city to be put in good condition.

Councilman 'Riordan stated that
this was a. very good idea. if the
mover of the motion meant business.
but. that it was nothing to fool with.
He salthat the city should stand
behind such a motion and if the
sidewalks were not; laid by the land
owners. the city should lay the side-
walks and-charge it to' the property
owners and that it would take con—
siderable money to carry on this
work and that an (appropriation
would have to be made.

Councilman Pahlman approved
the idea too and said that the police-
men of the city should inspect the
sidewalks and inform the owners
that they should be repaired.

Councilman Friuell stated that he
‘thought theprclty should fix its own
sidewalks before it ordered the
property ownersto repair theirs.
fie pointed out. that none of the
parks had walks around them and
that there was no walk around the
Washington school,

Councnman Benton then made a
motion that if the money was ap-
propriated for em? work by the
Board of Estimate and Taxation. an
order be issued by the city. ordering
the repair of sidewalks
