Scores Second District
Board For Not Giving>
Lowest Responsible Bid-
er A Contract.
The sale of bonds amounting to
8175.000 to complete the water sys-
tem improvements in South Norwulk *
was authorized at tho spei'al int-et-
ing of the Second District. in the
council chambers. last evening.
The district commissioners gverc
authorized to arrange for the sale
of the balance of the 3300.000 bond
issue granted the district by the
state legislature in 1917. amounting
to "0.000 and for the sale of the
balance of the 8300.000 issue grant-
ed in 1923 amounting to 3105.000.
The bonds will be dated from De-
cember 15. Bids on the sale will be
received up to and including De-
cember 1.
The district commissioners pre-
sinted a resolution requesting that
they be granted power to expend any
balances that might be left
of the water system. This resolu-
tion was passed after William H.
McMahon had talked on it.
Mr. McMahon said he hoped there
would be a balance left over and
that the commissioners would try to
save on the work. He then criti-
out a section oi the work to a con-
tlactor whose bid was $19,000 high-
er than the lowest bidder. when in
his opinion and the judgment of onl-
ers the lowest bidder could have
done the work. Mr. McMahon said
the firm was a reputable one. and
placed a bond that it could do thc
work. He thought this should have
been security enough. He said he
understood that the commissioners
did not investigate the concerns and
that the district lost 321.000.
"I hope. that this will not
scale." continued “Kiri"‘iiléfiba‘ifim‘u
and lfthe commissioners do not care
to conduct the affairs of the district.
efficiently they should unit. 1 feet
that it will be a shame if the com-
missioners do not investigate in the
to be given out."
Mr. McMahon was the only one
to remark on the motion. it was
then passed.
Charles Miller was
chairman of the meeting
ence Brown was the clerk.

four hour session of the Cabinet.
' Only one of the demands made by

legal traditions of Italy.
With the adoption of the decrees,

Not only Italy. but foreign nations
will be watched by the new political
police while suspected persons will
be compelled to remain within dead-

government will be watched. while
those known to be injuring Fascism
will be liable to trial in italy.
All passports allowing Italians to
leave the country are annulled with
the provision that anyone seeking
to leave clandestincly will be liable

All non-Fascist clubs. associa-

government to dismiss anti-Fascist
personnel from the civil service
ranks is extended another four

One indication of the Fascist de-
termination to stop nowhere in their
efforts to end the menace against
the regime is the provision turning
