McMahon of the Board of Estimate and Taxation and Councilman Mic- hael R. Riordan, featured the spe- cial meeting of the Common Coun- cil. last night. The action started when a petition signed by Robert Croner and five other property owners. asking per- mission to‘ lay a sewer in a part of France street. at their own expense. ' was approved of by the Council. Mr. McMahon said that he would like to say something on the matter. Upon this request. Mr Riordan said “I object to this man taking part in every debate of the Council. I think that the members of the Coun- cil are capable of handling their own matters, without any outside help." “I want to be heard and if the Mayor and members of the Council. wish to deny that privilege. I will keep my seat." Mr. McMahon re- plied. Mayor Robins gave Me McMahon the privilege of talking. Mr. McMahon then asked the members. of the Council. if they were aware of the fact that ,the proposed sewer would be in the Fifth District. He thought that they should be assesed for the rivllege of connecting with the sewe of the Fourth District. Both Councilmen Pohlman and Riordan spoke in favor of granting the permission; Attorney Jesse T. Dunbar inform- ed the Council that the situation came about because of the health conditions. He said that this work would cost over $600 and that about 200 feet of sewer would be laid. -SQUIBB'S PREPARATIONS. the complete line are carried in stock at The Clifford Pharmacy. South Main street.

The meeting was held in the city hall. and Dr. Osborn spoke to the local natural growthers in regard to the new sanitary regulations. adopt- ed March 16 and effective June 1. The code. which deals with the growth of oysters. chuckling. clean: ing. handling. and packing. was adopted after requests for the same had ‘been made by big oyster firms along the coast. The large houses are behind the desire for health rules. Dr. sborn said. and the ob- ject of his meetings at various oy- ster-growing centers is to explain them to the natural growthers. and to get their point of view in regard to the details of the code. Speaking of oyster raised in .this state. Dr. Osborn said: “Connecticut oystermen handle the health situation better than the Gulf or Atlantic states dealers. Connecticut can practically under- write its oysters as for as their be- ‘ in: free from disease is concerned. The principal purpose of the adopv tion of this code we have here to- night ls to be as sanitary as pout. bio. and to prevent diseases. parti- cularly typhoid. and paratyphotd gel-ms. from getting into our oy- sters." . . ‘ One of the principal points of discussion was the length of time ‘ that oysters ohould'be washed; and local: dealers held that the three minutes washingiprpvld‘od for in the (Special to The Evening Sentinel.) New York, Aug. 2!.—-The little domestic comedy in which Rudolph Valentino and Winifred Hudnut Val. entino are now starring cuts back to a time when a. young girl her heart set on “self~expression." over- turncd‘the plans of a wealthy fam- ity and defiantly set out to be an artist. ' In this gesture the girl anticipated by some time the vogue for -“free- dom' 'and ‘careers for women" and "self-expression" and all those things that no were common place. The difference was that this girl was deadly serious. This was no mere pose. Though she readily could have chosen a liesurely social life she actually went to work and has been working ever since, What is worse—she came to love work; to demand it as part of her life. So when you reodlof the separa- tion of the Valentines. or the "mar- riage vacation." or whatever they choose to call it. please bear this in mind—for it has everything in the worldto do with the temporary or permanent parting of the ways. It was the analysis that Winifred Hudnut. layely in a. white turban and clingy silk mornilig dress. gave of the background of their problem. "You see." she began. “as a wife I probably was perfectly satisfactory to Mr. Valentino"—she refers to him at all times as “Mr. Valentino"— “but as an independent artist—well that was something else. Now as an independent artist I was. perfectly satisfactory to myself, but as a complete wife—well that was something else. . "And as a. husband Mr. Valentina was perfectly satisfactory to me. but as a lordyof the roost—well. that was again something else. If you will digest this tangle for it moment you will begin to visualize something of the problem in our per- fectly happy. yet perfectly discon- tented menage. it is such .s. tangle as can be expectedprobably only in the lives of artists. both bent upon work. . .___.....

The new film tax which is causing war between film producers and the state. will not mean any advance in price to movie fans. This was the opinion of local the- atre owners.

"The tax will knock out the small fellow—the . independent producer.
