shortly after eight o’clock. A great
amount of business came before the
meeting.

Thu report of City Treasurer An-
son F. Keeler was turned over to

al. '

'An invitation to attend the open-
ing night of the American Legion'u

cided by the Judiciary committee at
Hartford. He thought that this we.
a means of organizing the Charities
Department on a sound basil and
urged the approval of the amend-
merit.

Mr. Mills pointed out that at the
present time there was only o clerk
in the Board of Charities and while
she wan competent. he felt that there
should be somebody of uuthority in
charge.

Councilman Benton thought that
on long as the legality of the matter
had been questionedby Corporation
Counsel Cuneo the matter should be
gone into before being approved by
the Council.

Mr. Mills replied that the Cor-
poration Counsel “no not always
right and that he had talked with
other attorneys and that they had
tliOught it legal.

Cbuncilman Albert E. Pohlunn
thought that it should come up for
a referendum vote. in fact. that all
bills should come before the people.
John Menu-ion declared that the
people should be given an opportun-
lty to vote on the mutter.
Councilmun Jame: moved that
the amendment be approved. which
motion was passed.

The amendment in as follows:
"Resolved that the bill hereto au-

not better condition than it was at
the present tinie.~ He stated further
that the school house had been turn-
cd over to the city for "a mean of
pottagc."

Councilman Thomas James asked
that the city give the Community
club a. ten year lease on the building
the city reserving the right to use it
at any time for a voting place or for
any other purpnoe.

William H. McMahon took excep-
tion to the remarks of Mr. l’c-rrfs. in
that. the residents of Broad River
had turned the school house over to
the city for “a. men of pounce." He
said that in his opinion they had
acid the building to the city for u
new 840.000 building. He Wu.- of
the opinion that there who a. law
that. said. that. school building:
should homold after they were given
up tor school purposes. lie was not
in favor of establishing a. precedent
and turning lhil building over to
the club. 11. thought thut it should
be sold at auction and that the
Council should not give away the
citizen's buildings.

William him. did not think that
a lease of ten yclru was long enough.
l-ie united that the lease be made
out. for 50 you-a.

Councilman James then made a
motion which was ruled that in.
committee consisting of two num-
bers of the Council be appointed to
take the matter up with the Corpor.
ution Coumel and report back to the
Councu.

John bicliobou aid that there

School Board until they had been
turned over to the Council and that
this building had not been turned
over to the Council as yet. He did
not. think that the Council had any
right to lease the buflding until it
had been turned over to the Council.

thought that the city should ohnvc

the matter some consideration. as
conditions were very bad.

He declared that the government
had established a danger line extend-
ing from Mcention Beach 0- Re!-
sor'a Point and that no oysters iii-ore
taken north of this point. He stat.-
e-l that they had been allowed by
the government to take shell fish
out. at 48 degrel but thht they did
not like to do this.

Peter Mulrono urged that the
council take some action because of
conditions here.

Councilor-ta Albert M. Polhmln
said that th work if carried out
would cost about 81.000.000 and
that the money could not be expend-
ed at this time. He thought tho:
when new “Vera were laid that
they could be carried to a control
point where a sewerage dllponl
mum similar to that of other citie-
would be installed.

Councilman Michael Riordan was
of tile opinion I’Lt until the State
took some notion the City should not
tuite the matter up. He thought
that it was the business of the
Health Officer to come to the
Council on this matter and not the
Council to go to the Health Officer.
He suggested that the matter be
laid on the tab 6.

Councilmen Stacey Benton
moved that the relolution be posed.
This was seconded by Councilman
thlmnn and passed. The resolu-
tion follows;

"Whereas the pollution of our
streams rendered the use at our pro-
perties on shore: and bathing dun-
geroua to the health of the people;
'There’fore be it resolved: that the

"If I did not. think that the results

not ask that they be installed. The
installation of the four signals in
this city would cost about 38.000.
and the upkeep for a year would be
about 83.000. The saving to the ruil~

Councilman Thomas James asked
if one of the signal- could not be in-

that he did not think the company
would consent to this proposition. as
the algal there at the present time

ed out that what was needed was

should be placed on all erosion in
the city when there who none at the

matter be taken up with the Public
Utilities commission regarding the
crossing at. the Sorwallt Lumber
company in Jenny)“ place. He stat-
ed that he had written to the rail-
road company about the crossing at
Jennings 'placo. but had received no
reply.

Howard Holmes protected against
the removal of watchmen for the alg-
nalo. He said that he did not think
that the lights were dependable
enough.

Superintendent Bailey told of a
trip over the Donbury branch. dur-
ing which the wucbthcn at the va-
rious crossings failed to reach their
stations in time. He stated that the
man at the Cross street crooning did
not put the gates down until the
train was on the crossing. He in-
formed the council tint the company
had installed two of theoe lights in

Mr. Bailey said that he did not

Mr. Riordan aid that he did not

Patrick Drilcoll informed Mr.
Bailey that. he was of the opinion
that the railroad company. wanted
to be on the receiving end and wish-
ed to install the signals to save
