HAMMERS ARE USED AT BOARD MEETING Mayor and Safety Commissioners Make Several Knocks. Excitement ran high at the monthly meeting of the safety board last night | when the mayor and several of the | commissioners entered the session | armd with their “little hammers’ which they used to advantage. Th rapping and knocking ‘was so loud | that it could be heard on the street. | The cvening's first business con- sisted of a resolution from Alderman Lawyer and Councilman Anderson | asking for a regulation to modify the slaring searchlights on vehicl A resolution from the council was also | read authorizing the purchase of | i flannel chevrons for the traffic police. | The first item was laid over until such | time as the board may secure infor- mation, and the second matter will be taken care of. Concerning Police Boxes. A report was also made by City | Electrician Cooley regarding the lo- cation of police signal boxes at Stan- | ley and Allen streets, Stanley and West streets and Oak and West streets. The boxes would cost $281, | $215 and $215 respectively. As Chief Rawlings would rather have a box at Oak and West streets than else- where the matter was held up. Would Be Appointed. Application for appointment as a | substitute callman was received from | J. P. Currey, of Gilbert street, and O. F. Pelletier applied for appoint- ment as a special officer. Special Of- ficer Novak's resignation was read and | accepted. Physicians' certificates of illness from Officers James Skelley, | A. C. Malone and John Carlson were | received and accepted. Hotel Bill Paid. 1 A bill of $2 from Fred Beloin for room hire by the agent of the Kelle, Automobile company was ordered paid. The board kept the agent so late when he visited them that he | could not catch his train to New Ha- | ven. Without a further meeting Com- missioner Andrews will award the contract for the repairs at No. 4 en- gine house to the lowest bidder. More bids were asked for last night. Fire Damage $3,645. | In his report Chief Dame states that there were six bell and four still | alarms during July and the fires did | damage amounting to $3,645. Michael Butler's injury was the only one in the department. Whether or not the city will pro- vide ammunition for the new police service revolvers was asked by Com- | missioner Andrews. The matter will be considered. Additional Auto Expensc. From the perusal of a letter from the White Automobile company agent it appears that the new patrol will cost $3,175 instead of $2,900. The electric starting and lighting system | will cost $250 additional and §25 would be charged for changes in the stretcher. Some discussion arose as to what the $25 change consisted of, but rather than hold up the grder it wa voted' to accept the figures and ha the chairman investigate. THhe chair- | man will also see about purchasing | some cotton waste and rags by the wholesale, | cleaned up is almost as indispensible Police Monthly Report, | would be accomplished. He also sug- In his report Chief Rawlings lai great stress on the value of the mo | torcycle policeman. He reported 18 arrests last month, of which nine | were females, Twenty dogs were | taken and two were killed. The mo- | torcycle officer travelled 738 miles on seventeen gallons of gasoline and cight quarts of oil. Healey Wants Receipts. At this point Commissioner Healey | handed Chief Rawlings a knock. On not finding the receipts for the li- cense fees and being informed by | Clerk Cashmore that none had beeu | given in, he said: “Well as long as T am a member of this board I want to see the city treasurer's receipt. It has always been the custom for us to get the receipt and I should think it should be the order now.” On his motion Chief Rawlings will be - structed to send receipts hereafter. Officer Wagner Criticised. When the matter of paying for Of- ficer Wagner's khaki suit came up he was criticised by Commissioner Hea ley. Chairman Andrews told of being approached by Officer Wagner and f\(‘ advising him to buy a suit for him- self and then he would see what the | also a report on his monthly sheet. | viding a place where farmers could ! about was along the lines of his an- | ter of the city.

Commissioner Healey did not like the idea of doing things and then finding out how to meet the situa- tion brought about thereby. He did. however, make a motion that Officer Wagner be reimbursed by an amount not to exceed $12. Mayor Quigley Present. After the matter had been brought up by Mayor Quigley it was voted to have Chief Rawlings make a daily report on all lights that are out and Upon the transaction of all oth business Mayor Quigley took the floor in reference to the matter of pro- sell or exchange their produce be- tween the hours of 6 and § a. m. These people need a place to exchange their goods and should be instructed, | he says. ; Wants Lower Rates. { Saying that what he was to speak nual message, Mayor Quigley said that | what he now wants to do is to obtain | ower fire insurance rates in the cen- | thought that if the business men would unite and clean up their cel- lars and yards, for having refuse as having good fire fighters, a lot] gested that a fireman be assigned to a certain locality and have him re- ponsible for the conditions as exist- ng there, He also thought the fire escapes should be investigated and watched, as some of them would not hold a 150 pound person, Raps Special Cops. As a final word the mayor made especial reference to the appoint- ment of special policemen. He sala that he had heard of one supernumer- ary who had said he didn't care to get on the regular force, and such men as these are not fit fur appoint- ment, according to the mayor's View. He said: “There are some men o your spe force who are by no means fit for the position. 1 would not have them on the force for a minute.” After a few more comments Chairman Andrews explained that be- fore any special is appointed he s examined by a physician. “Well, that may be, but some of them are fine (?) policemen,” said His Honor, City Items The Office of The Optometrist and Optician of 321 MAIN ST., Will Be Closed Wed- nesday Afternoon and Evening During the j!
