The only difference between New Britain’s charter revision committee and a babbling brook is that the | brook flows on forever, according to the poets, while the committee hopes to finish its labors some time. The meeting last night was the bona-fide last meeting of the present committee and was hailed as such but before ad- | journment it that | ‘there was always | meeting and the members hope that all business will be disposed of at a session a week from next Tuesday night. Last night's gathering the ordinary sort. There was con- siderable difference of opinion and several of the members skated on thin ice in their remarks concerning the means other members have of secur- ing their daily bread and butter and a little cake and while words alone were used some of the words were brief and to the point. Al spirit that Las been absent from other meetings was noticeable in the discussion re- garding the establishment of a city court and the extension of the water mains into Kensington. Those present were: Mayor George A. Quigley, ex-Mayor George M. Lan- ders, Corporation Counsel J. E.| Cooper, Judge B. F. Gaffney, Council- men Henry G. Voight, E. L. Teich and A. M. Paonessa, ex-Alderman E. W. Christ, Thomas H. Kehoe, Severin Johnson and Clerk E. H. Prior. Corporation Counsel Cooper re- ported a draft of an amendment to the present taxing system by which the first district will be taxed pro- portionately for fire, police, streeets, street lighting, health and special ap- propriations as shall be determined. It was adopted. ‘Another améndment was adopted iving the comptrollér authority to pay bills on which cash discounts may be taken without submitting such | bills to the common council for its| approval. His action shall be re-| pcrted in each instance to the com- mon council. This will apply to the school board as well ag other departments, “What would happen if the bills were paid and the council refused to ratify the payment?” asked Mr, Lan- ders. Corporation Counsel Cooper said he tried to draft the amendment so that the council could put its foot down on the practice if it found that the privileges were being abused. Mr. Humphrey beligved. that. all boards could anticipate any large ibMls and secure the' approval ofrthe gouncil_previgus. to their payment. ‘What we want are practical results | and ifiwe can secure them by this amengfmeént I am in favor of it,” said Mr. Landers and on his motion the draft was adopted. City Court Causes a Rumpus. ‘The establishment of-a city court was brought up in an amendment sub- mitted by the corporation counsel. The court would have jurisdiction over cases now heard before justices’ courts. - Should a judge or assistant jurge be disqualified a justice would be called in to serve. Corporation Counsel Cooper and Judge . Gaffney had some differences regarding the draft. “Now you’ll have an example of the courts’ delays,” remarked Mayor Quigley, as Judge Gaffney reached for the draft to read it. Corporation Counsel Cooper based the procedure of the city court on discovered another was room for was not of that of justices’ courts and Judge Gaffney wanted it based on the pro- cedure of the ordinary city court. Corporation Counsel Cooper - took the committee into his confidence and said that no lawyer would hold up his interest in a $10,000 case to at- tend to a $16.38 case. This state- ment was brought out by the charge that there is altogether too much de- lay in the courts. “Then the man with the big has the preference,” said Mr. son. “And always has had,” Mr. Landers. Pack of Dignity Assailed. Mr. Kéhoe did not think the coun- iry’s newest citizens are duly im- pressed by justices’ courts where the lawyer for the defense sits on the roll John- interjected “NON-SKID "Trusses Be Washed Adhesive---Will Not Slip p ins set, once work out from under Pad. ‘Will not collapse. lon or.germs to breed. nss in the world to fit. bad slipping or moving from Hernia and the Rup- Such an occurrence is impossible with a “NON- sunk checker surface of the Pad makes it adhesive. les and shapes in both Spring and Elastic Trusses. ¥or Sale by “KINSON UG CO., adjusted to person, Most trouble of Trusses 169-171 MAIN STREET .ing Kensington water Best Laxative For Children When your baby er and fretful instead of the happy, laughing little dear you are accus- tomed to, in all probability the di- gestion has become deranged and the bowels need attention.

Councilman Paonessa sugg that a_copy lawyers in the city for their opinion, but there .was a unanimous of disapproval. “Somecthing should vor uigley. “This is not a drive at the Jawyers,” said Mr. Kehoe. The cou of steg be done,” said Ma a case was traced through the various courts and Mr. Kehoe said case could be carried on Indefinitely if a man had enough money. “Don’t run away with the idea that money is everything,” replied Judge Gaffney, nettled. In order to dispose of the matter it was referred to Judge Gaffney and Corporation Counsel Cooper. Extension of Water Maius. Corporation Counsel Cooper was in favor of the extension of the water mains dinto Kensington if New Britain’s rights in Burlington would not be jeopardized. Mr. Landers was in favor of giv. when a major- ity of the voters in that town signl- fied their desire at the polls of being annexed to New Britain. Mr. Voight was of a similar opinion. He was not in favor of the extension. Mr. Kehoe moved that the matter be indefinitely postponed. Mr. Lan- ders said he would vote in favor of the motion but at the same time he believed that the committee was tak- ing an ultra-conservative position toward a progressive community. The question was passed over to the next charter revision committee, it being the sense of the meeting that a more careful examination and discussion of the possibilities of the annexation take place. A letter to this effect will be sent to First Selectman Wil- liam H. Gibney of Berlin, Selectman Fitzsimons and Dr. Griswold, who appeared in behalf of the project at the previous meeting. Subway Bond Issue Causes Stir. A resolution was adopted authoriz- ing the issue of subway bonds to the amount of $100,000. Judge Gaffney considered it poor fl- nanciering not to know the exact amount of bonds needed. Mr. Humphrey, who is president of the board of public works, took um- brage at Judge Gaffney’s objections and replied that the board could not state to the exact dollar how much would be necessary for the extension of any system for the next two or three years. Judge Gaffney described it as “wlla- cat financing.” The cdmmittee adjournea for two weeks and in the meanwhile the cor- poration counsel.and Judge Gaffney will look into the wording of the amendments. - ¥ ‘What Committee Has Done. A resume of amendments ‘which have been approyed by the commit- tee follows: Reducing board of assessors to two permanent members. Giving mayor absolute power to re- move commissioners for cause, he to be the sole judge of the cause. Authorizing board of finance taxation to pass on all mcrea\c& salaries. Giving board of public works power and in OUCH! LUMBAGO! RUB PAINS FROM SORE, LAME BACK Rub Backaclle away with small trial bottle of old, penetrating “St. Jacob’s Oil.” Back hurt you?

KIDNEY TROUBLE FROM OVERWORK T am a blacksmith by trade would like to say a word to all who v hard and suffer with I suffered for about ten vears and was treated by a Waynes- boro, Va. Doctor.

That was eight vears ago and if 1 ever feel the least pain about my kidneys 1 just take few doses of Swamp-Root and in a days I am all right. I feel today that I am a well man and would say to all who suffer with their kidneys, take Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, for it has done more for me than all the doctors and ved doctor’s bills. I can further say thai about vears ago my son was sick ih bed was taking medicine from doctors and got worse all the time.
