that when Buffalo wanted to spicy
the trees. when Newburgh desired to
close a. street and repair it. or when
Syracuse wanted id sprinkle its
streets. all had to go to the state
legislature to obtain permission.
"in 1915." said Mrs. Emery.
"home rule was conferred upon the
state of Connecticut.
“The law passed- allowed that
cities and towns might make up
their own charters. present some for
referendum to the people and might
amend or change same. without go-
ing to the legislature.
‘ Among some of the powers of the
cities and towns under the Home
rule are:
1. Towns and cities may elect or
amend a charter with certain pro-
visions.
2. A petition for an election of s.
mmisslon must first be
made. all or to theorem». the burgv
cases or to the selectmon. The re-
ferendumelace at the
"time of a general election or else a
special I action will have to be held.

moisture of a charter commission.
then she“ .thogmembsrs of the com--
mission be appointed.
a. The body must be composed of
not less theme nor more than 9
members. The commission must
meet to moire up the charter and
report within a year's time. The
charter must then be voted upon
not lose t to nor more than 90
days after presentation to the mayor.
it must ,then be presented for re-
ferendum either at the general elec-
tl n or at a special election held.
l. Among the rights that ihé
towns and cities may have under
their own charters are: to organ-
ize government. distribute power.
name and elect officers. stating
their terms. duties and salaries.
name election times and places.
handle appropriations. taxes, borrow
money. issue bonds. provide for sink-
ing funds and divide the town or
city into voting districts.
5. The charter must be recorded
with the secretary of otatewithin a
given time. Lastly. municipal courts
are not to be effected by the charter.
Mrs. Emery here stopped to 08°
plain that I. town may do business:
First. under the general laws of
Connecticut.
Second. under a charter given by
a. special act of the legislature.
Third. under its own charter.
Other smaller on .glven the
towns and cities elude: power to

if Mrs. Charles Ursa lived in La'

of home rule was written in 1928.
Mrs. Emery said that in Ohio. the
cities ‘can own and operate all public
utilities except in the matter of taxa-
tlon.
in conclusion it might well be.
asked. why. if the towns and cities
are entitled to so many nice powers
under thelr own shorten slVen
under the Home Rule act. why so
few cities and towns have stalled
themselves of the privilege? ,
liirs. Emery explained that by say-
lng
First: it has been claimed that
the validity of the home rule set has
never yet ben tested in any court.
I. man appeared in the state legisla-
ture stating that his ten wanted a
charter and it~aiso wanted to sell
bones but that the party who tied
offered to buy tbe‘benda'did not
wish to do so until a special act of
legislature had been named giving

of artists from New York city.
Mr. Zen has an excellent mice.
a charming personality. and a pro-
gram of interest is promised. Home
idea of Mr. Zen's ability may be
gathered from the fact that for four
years he appeared in grand opt-re

er leis. says:
"in the future these fortnightly
affairs will probably be confined to
the membership which is growing
rapidly. btlt it is felt.thot the best
way for those who are interested to
acquaint themselves with the aims
and purposes of the People‘s Chorus
and the advantages it now offers
both musically and socially. is to
give them this opportunity to meet
with the members and see what the
chorus is doing; ‘
“From all reports. letters and
telephone calls our new policy is
meeting with the greatest interest
and approval from the people of
News“: and vicinity. The People's
Chorus is planned to offer the most
enjoyable meeting place to the great-
est number of people through that
meat universal of tilt interests —-
music.
“With the moat serious study and
practice one the one hand. plus a
hearty spirit of good time on the
other. the greatest success is as-
Young musicians will be
given- every. opportunity to meet
their public a. well as to develop
their talent and the newcomer to
lNorwallt will find in the People's
Chorus a splendid avenue for get~
ling acquainted.
"Everyone who loves music is in-
Him! to join the People's Chorus.
Visitors will always be welcome at
our rehearsals which are held in the
High School every Tuesday night at
3 o’clock.
"We have no limitation as to
membership. There will be chorus
singing for those who have to sing
by ear and those who do not sing at
all will be offered a new form’of
tut-inborship which is attracting
favorable attention from many who
approve of the general idea and wish
to take part in our special fortnight-
ly affairs. I wish to repeat: 'Eevry.
body is Welcome.’ "
