Cooley’s Auto Jdea Crabbed. Among other things City Electrician | George Cooley asked for an auto work car. Mr. Alling thinks it neces- sary, but Mr. Holmes did not think | it essential at this time. He also | wanted 5,000 feet of underground wire for the police signals and 10,000 feet of wire for the fire signals. This costs $100 and $200 respectively. Finish Police Estimates. Mr. Healey recommended increasing the incidentals $200 in the police de- partment, making it $700. He also moved that the $120 for care of quar-~ ters be strickén out. He asked that repairs for the building be increased. $200, making it $300. Thus, com- pleted, the police department esti- mates as prepared by the two mem- bers of the board were passed with only the above changes, making the total appropriation to be asked for $57,200. Whatever amount Dr. Reeks thinks will cover the cost of carting away dead animals not to exceed $150, will be added to the estimates. This year's estimates are $2,305 more than last year's.

He wanted the repairs increased to $700, Supplies were raised to $800. Build- ing repairs were boosted to §750. Insurance was raised to $250. Mr. Healey wanted to cut out the $9,000 pumping engine and Mr. Holmes con- curred with him.” They think the city service truck is the more neces- sary of the two. Additions of $500 for hose were made and the fire alarm repairs were increased to $1,000. The total estimates are now $62,395, or $15,000 more than last year, Other Matters of Business. Mr. Alling stated he wants the board to look into a civil service examina- tion for the police and fire depart- ments. If investigation proves this to be wise the council will be notified.

Any breaking out or irritation on the face, arms, legs and body when accom- panied by itching, or-when the skin.is dry and feverish, can be readily over- come by applying a little bold-sulphur, says a noted dermatologist. He informs us that bold-sulphur in- stantly allays the angry itching and irritation and soothes and heals the Eczema right up leaving the skin clear and smooth. Bold-sulphur has occupied a secure position for many years in the treatment of cutaneous disorders be- cause of its parasite:destroying prop- erty. Nothing has ever been found to take its place in treating the irritable and inflammatory skin affections. While not always establishing a permanent cure it never fails to subdue the itching irri- tation and drive the Eczema away and it is often years later before any’ erup- tion again appears. Those troubled should obtain from any druggist an ounce of bold-sulphur, which is applied to the affected parts in the same manner as an ordinary cold cream. It isn’t unpleasant and the prompt relief afforded, particularly in itcging Eczema, | proves very welcome, missioners who will look into the matter with him. The Chamber of Commerce notified the board that Dr. T. E. Reeks will take up the matter of a public morgue with the board. He will be given a hearing at the next meeting. MEETING FOR FARMERS. Dr. T. N. arver Will Make Address in Hartford February 26. The big meeting in the interest of the agricultural development o0f Hart- ford county, arranged by the Harford Board of Trade and the Hartford County Rural Improvement league, will be held at Unity hall, Hartford, on Friday, February 26.

On February 19, the annual meet- ing of the Hartford County Rural im- provement league will be held at which time it is expected a county agent will be appointed to direct the agricultural development of the coun- ty. Hartford county is entitled to $600 under the Lever bill, which pro- vides for a federal appropriation for agricultural development work. In or- der to get this amount, the league has to appoint a county agent by February 20. The agent who is appointed will be present at the development meet- ing on February 26 and will explain his plans for the agricultural expan- sion of the county. Other speakers at the meeting will be Mayor Joseph H. Lawler of Hartford and Governor Marcus H. Holcomb, while a number of speakers of national reputation are also expected. There will be morning and afternoon sessions. TO GIVE ENTERTAINMENT. Smith School Will Raise Funds Branch Library.

Word has been received here tell- in'g of the death of John Trotta, aged in the earthquake in Trotta was a for- Britain young man who was ving music aliroad. .He was to have graduated from the musical con- | servatory in June. On thé night before earthquake Trotta, the terribie according to ad- s received here, left Naples to visit some relatives in another city, He was overtaken by the catastrophe and never was heard frem again, SEEKING REAPPOINTMENT, Antonio Maseni, formerly a membey of the special police force, from which Jhe resigned in order to make a pro- longed visit back to his native Ttaly, is now seeking to be reappointed.

They were a the members of the hoard of public | safety who had just finished the first round of their annual bout with the almighty dollar and the eagle was beginning to look like a hungry spar- row when the gong rang for the end of the session. From 10 until 12:30 the board pored over the and poured perspiration and so in- tent were they on making nickle do the work of a dime that Monday had, crept into another day before it was decided to call a halt, The board does not know how much money it will need for the com- | ing fiscal year as the work of esti- | mating has not been completed. 1t is said, however, that the appropr tion to be asked for will be in exce: of last year’s despite the fact that the department was given special ap- propriations of $33,000 during present year. Comfort House Costly Proposition. a the combined isle of safety and a subterranean comfort station south of Central park were submitted by City Engineer Hall. The scheme would necessitate Main street on the west side of the park a one-way street for traffic and Commissioner John Kelly remarked Plans for from businss men on State Hartford, when that street was made a one-way. thoroughfare because, they claimed, it meant 3 loss of busines for them. He was not sure whether the same conditions would obtain in this eity. i Engineer Hall estimated the cost of the place at $7,500. This would be exclusive of heat, lights, attendants, etc. ! Commissioner Kelly questioned whether the south end of the green was not too public and Commission- er John Downes supported him in this view. Mayor Quigley, who was in attendance concurred jection and believed the proper place would be in the rear of the building. The chief objection to the plan was that it would establish a fixed charge on the city as it would not be success~ ful with less than four attendants in charge. » Mayor Quigley considered the cost prohibitive. It was decided to report unfavor- ably to the council, where the move- ment originated, on the house of com- fort as at present’ planned. In the opinion of the board the isle of safe- ty is needed at the south end of the park and the comfort station in the rear of the city building. Storeyards Come High. A communication was received from Alderman M. Irving Jester of- fering his land on Dwight Court for a department storeyard for $23,750 or either of the two parcels for $12,500. A piece of property owned by D. O. Rogers on Church street with a 300 foot frontage on the railroad was also available, Engineer Hall reported. No price was set on it but it is assessed for $18,000. President E. N. Humphrey thought the Rogers property ideal combination storevard for the street, sewer and water departments, as it contains 47,600 square feet. It would be possible to sell two lots on Church street at $1,000 each. Some of the board questioned whether the water department would care to enter into the plan. This department has a vard on Harvard street “with a nice iron fence around it.” according to Mayor Quigley. The mayor did not favor any $18 - 000 or $23,000 yard unless a railroad frontage was ential. > Engineer Hall of vard with a saying that several hundred dollars could be saved yearly by buying pipe and stone in large ‘quantities and stor- ing it at the yard. Commissioner Downes believed this situation could be met by estimating how much pipe and stone would be was in favor ture delivery. President Humphrey was opinion that the brick of the block the city suitable yard couid be torn down and a provided there. That Nervy School Board.

Accepted Streets, A communication was received from Corporation Counsel Cooper on the status of Dwight court. It stated that no hard and fast rule for de- termining the acceptance of pocket streets could be given and each case must be decided on the facts perti- nent te it The courts usually hold hat a passway that is generally used for public convenience is an accepted street. The said the corporation counsel i court was opened in 1895 and the city laid a water main in it. He considered it a public thoroughfare. City Engineer Hall told the board it would not require the expenditure of a large amount of money to put the court in shape. | Mayor Quigley said if Dwight court |is accepted it might be necessary to to take similar action with regard to Cemetery Lane, Wakeficld court, Emmons place and other short pocket streets. The Dwight court the table. Wants Scewer Lowered. Charles Glover, vice-president of the American Hardware comporation, communicated regarding sewer con- ditions on Tafayette and Myrtle | streets. He suggested that the Laf- ayette street sewer be lowered. Under present conditions the wheel pit of the Carbin Screw factory en- gine room becomes flooded occasion- ally from the High street sewer, en- tailing great financial loss and incon- venience not to mention throwing | many men out of empioyment. Mr. Hall suggested that another sewer be built in T.afayette street and run it down High street to Myrtle He estimated the cost at §760, Quigley Blames Corporation. This plan would accommodate the | toilets but Mavor Quigley believed the corporation was at fault by locating the toilets where it did after the Lafayvette street sewer had been con. structed. Mr. Glover's letter said that at the suggestion of ex-City En- gineer Cadwell the building was sewered into High street. On recommendation of President Humphrey, Engineer Hall was in- structed to confer with Mr. Glover concerning the expense and who will pay it. Enginecer's Assistants Praised. The following petitions far salary increases from assistants in the en- gineer’'s office were received: Carl E. Hagist, $60 to $75 per mont David Ellison and John K. Dunn, to $60 per month. “I think they’re entitled to an in- crease,” said President Humphrey. City Engineer Hall concurred in this view as he considers his assistants as valuable men “They do the work all right work overtime without a kick,” Mr. Hall. g Mayor Quigley al¢o favered the in- creases. Tt was voted to recommend all the i increases. Sonth Street Tmprovements. City Engineer Hall was authorized to secure waivers from property owners on South street from the railroad track easterly for a change of grade and also to secure bids for crushed stone for a macadam | pavement, ) ' City Engineer Hall proposed re- moving the watering trough at the south end of the green in Franklin {square to another position, prefer- ably to the north end of the green. The recommendation was adopted. H A 'petition was received for the macadamizing of Lincoln street from the English property to Corbin ave- nue. The department paved as far as this point last fall but stopped work there because it was found it would be necessary to cut down twelve | trees. No action was taken on the | petition, although the work has al- | ready been ordered by the common council. The for two unaccepted put in but more. Other petitions received were as follows: H Rockwell avenue, concrete walk on west side; hearing ordered. | Lawler street, extension of sewer; tabled.
