NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 16, Epublicans Fail to Select Choics for County Commissioner. iartiord, Feb. 16.—No choice was pched in the New Haven republi- In county caucus on a candidate for minissioner although nineteen reg- ar, three irregular and one informal pallots were taken. The caucus ad- ed until next Tuesday. In its losing moments the caucus was so ¥¢ly that Col. Eaton, who presided, fuggested that it was time for it to bring in the oil can and smooth the 2mpest in New Haven county. The fotal number of regular ballots is how 4186. AS soon as the caucus came to- cther for its first ballot of the day Bronscn of Waterbury, moved n e session to the extent hat all persons nct members of the glegation, or newspapermen, should excluded. He sald that there had een much confusion in previous ses- jons through outsiders moving about nd more votes had been cast than vere required. It was immaterial to ini' whether newspaper men went or t2yed, as they did not interfere with fic ballot. He belleved that time ould be saved by an executive ses- on. The motion was carried and Il spectators loft the room. A laugh yent up when the first ballot was hrown out as, there were three more ptes than necessary. Col. Raton arned the members to be careful. tter ten ballots had been taken an xtrn vote crepe in and this balolt was mwn out. After the thirteench l, Ssnator Isbeil made remarks nting out that the caucus was be- hing o ‘‘continuous performance.” a party standpoint he sald the st ought to be settled without elay. No cnd could be reached un- . some one gave way. He said he “voted for first, second, third and h choices in the hope of settling matter. Peaseley Withdraws Motion. r. Peaseley of Chesire moved to ninate candidates by dropping the lowest after three ballots and then the owest after three more. Mr. Martin pf Orange was willing to adopt any ir »way, though he did not believe this was an equitable way to the can- date as they stood. Mr. Peaseley kithdrew his motion. Mr. Potter of Guilford said he had reamt that the four candidates greed to draw each a stick of differ- pnt lengths, the one drawing the long- st to be recognized as the only candi- fate before the caucus. He woke up efore the drawing was completed. : -s‘hkgested that if legal the candi- btes/be given sticks for such a draw- (5 | 1 ert’s Name Re-appears. i In ‘the fourteenth ballot Covert's fame re-appeared‘and Mr. Bronson arked: “This is the recrudescence pt Govert. .

Mr. Stanford of New Haven object- g to this plan as he did not believe ¢ members were called upon to del- ate their right of selection. Mr. onson believed that if the candi- ites could not agree among them- lves the members should take them the throat and’throttle them into agreement. He said that here were rty-six men wasting valuable time er an eighteenihundred dollar job. would be better to chip in and make conhtribution to each candidate.

Mr. Aaronson of Ansonia moved to eliminate the lowest candidate. Mr. Bronson and Mr. Smith eliminated themselves. A lively debate fol- lowed over the bringing in of other names in the ballot besides those of the four leading candidates. It was during this discussion that Col. Eaton suggested that an oil can be brought in. Senator Heineman said he did not believe it would be right at this time to drop any candidate. Adjourns Till Tuesday. As it was then time for the as- sembly to meet, motions and objec- tions and remarks flew fast on the question of adjournment, and the re- sult was that the caucus stands ad- Journed until ‘next Tuesday.

Members of the social committee of the Kenilworth club are now working bhard to complete final arrangements for their annual ball, which is to be held this year in Booth’'s hall on the evening of March 17, Originally the St. Patrick’s dance was scheduled for this night but it has seemed expedient to have the big dance at this time instead of on April 5, as was previously planned. The members of the social committee which has this event in charge are Farold P. Smith, chairman, Henry T. Alpress, E. F. Brubbaum, Harry C. Jackson, DeWitt A. Riley, Willlam W. T. Squire and Clifton W. Wilson. Other social events planned by this club are a smoker on March 26, a minstrel show on April 26 and the final hanquet of the season on the night of May 20, which will probably be held at the Eim Tree Inn. CHARTER REVISERS ON HOME STRETCH Their Last Mesting is Scheduled for This Eveaing. New Britain’s revised charter as far as the revision committee is con- cerned is expected to be hammered into shape tonight when the last meet- ing of the committee will be held if the schedule is followed out. By mid- night, or earlier, the committee ex- pects to have the charter completely revamped, stretched and contracted so that it will be more in keeping with the government of a progressive city. Among the matters to come up will the establishment of a new basis for taxes. Corpor- ation Counsel J. E. Cooper will present the wraft of a resolution call- ing for the levying of taxes on the first district for its proportionate share towards the maintenance of street lighting, streets, police and fire departments and health. This plan has been accepted as a substitute for the original scheme to abolish the line between the first and second taxing districts. It is expected that a report will be received also on the proposed exten- sion of the city’s water mains to Ken- sington. At' the last meeting the cor- poration counsel and the mayor were delegated to investigate the status of, the Berlin Water company, which now has rights in the territory where the Kensington citizens want New Britain to lay pipes. They were also to confer with the officlals of the Ber- learn their be stand on the matter. The purchasing agent scheme be shelved by a resolution from the corporatoin counsel which will per- mit the city comptroller to pay bills on which cash discounts may be tak- en without first having them ap- proved by the common council, A number of other questions are expected to be settled, mong them be- ing the establishment of a city court. Mayor Quigley stated this afternoon that he did not intend to press his pian for a consolidation of the of- fices af the personal and property tax collectors. The mayor believes that Bernadotte Loomis, collector of prop- erty taxes, is too valuable an official to lay open to rejection at the hands ‘of the voters, which might occur it he were appointed personal tax col- lector and was as industrious in col- lecting this tax as he has been in gathering in taxes on property. will SECOND BIRTHDAY. Little Miss Mary Alice Mangan, daughter of Judge 2nd Mrs. William F. Mangan, observed her second birth- day yesterday at her parents’ home on Trinity street with a party given to a number of her friends. A delicious luncheon was served, hte favors being hearts and valentines. The color scheme was pink and blue.

This report, given out last night by the foundation, states also that clothing must be supplied to cer- tain communities where the people ‘have lost their clothing through the burning of their houses; temporary shelter must be provided for famili whose homes have been destroyed; and employment must be given, as far as possible, to the unemployed. These relief measures, the commission e timates, will necessitate an expendi- ture of about $6,600,000 a month, Of the total Belgian population of 7,000,000, the report states, eighty per cent, are able to pay for their bread; but the grain from which to make the bread must be bought in foreign coun- tries, transported into Belgium and distributed under the protection of the American government to the com- munes. About 60,000 tons of grain monthly are required for the feeding of the population, it is figured, and the purchase and delivery of the grain will cost about $3,600,000 a monta. 1,400,000 Without Resources. The remaining twenty per cent. of the Belgian non-combatants, or 1,400,- 000 people, are without resources, the report states. ‘‘Of the 750,000 peo- ple living in Brussels, 250,000 are now in the ‘soup’ line,” says the commis- sion, ““Of the 40,000 people now liv- ing in Malines, 24,000 are in the ‘soup’ line. It is estimated that one- third of the present population of Iiege is already dependent upon the ‘canteens.’ The chairman of the Bel- glan national committee has esti- mated that in the industrial towns and cities of Belgium about one- third of the present population is now being supported by charity. “In the rural communities condi- tions are better. Most of the far- mers have some resources. From the few remaining cows they get milk and butter. From the land they have some supplies of potatoes, tur- nips and other vegetables. In some of the more favored rural communi- ties, where the destruction of houses wholly dependent upon charity is at present small. In other communi- ties, where the desruction of houses has been great and the requisition of cattle and food supplies has been heavy, a much larger percentage of the people are dependent upon char- itable aid.” $3,000,000 a Month. In order to provide these destitute people with a daily allowance of bread, soup and coffee, and to supply them with clothing, shelter and medi- cal attention, a monthly expenditure of $3,000,000 will be required, says the repeort. Of this sum, the com- munes have undertaken to provide one-third, leaving $2,000,000 monthly to be supplied by the Belgian national commission and the friends of RBel- glum in foreign countries. Most of this fund must be raised outside Bel. glum, the commission says. In advising the foundation as to the means availlable for accomplish- ing these ends, the commission fur- ther savs: Two Distinct Agencies. 1 “For the purpose of providing re- { relief in Belgium, two distinct, but intimately related sets of agencies have been created. In their financial operations these agencies are interde- pendent; but in organization, in func- tion and in administrative control, each, while co-operating Wwith the Imhcr maintains ils separate identity | | measure up ta the requirements. |are satisfied as to the integrity, ability " 120) 1015, HUAST 1 lcl Y EF '}n |BEEF Ib 32c, 31 Ibs $1 Creamery Made b 2lc Potatoes, 151b pk 9¢ 10c 10c 29c; ..6 for 250 | | Best Pure Lard 21 29C ;fiEGTESFRESH 3 Ibs 25C RADDOCK 1 1C e qa 15¢] Igfsllllelws Cod N 1 5 c ] FRESH PORK LOINS k1230 | Loan SHOULDER?
