VETEMNT0 G SERES OF TALES Commander FV_ Emtsr Tells of 0d Time Soldiers. In order to bring before the pube lic the importance and significance of the G. A. R. state encampment | which is to be held in ‘this city next| month Commander F. V. Streeter is | to give a series of reviews on the life and work of the veterans, whose | numbers are fast decreasing. Here- | with is printed the first of the; series: | “It is not in the pravince of man to. set aside or defer the decree of nature; but it is in his power to per- petrate the memory of the nation’s indebtedness, and to so provide that the patriotic inspirations for which the surviving veterans stand, shall continue to exert their full force that the example given may not be lost to the republic of the United States or its lessons ignored. To the com-| rades of the Grand Army them- selves must be credited the inaugur- ation of the movement to secure perpetuity in the practice that has been fortified as an annual’custom of delivering patriotic addresses in the public schools, addresses that are all the more instructively impressive, be- ing delivered by actual participants | in the struggle for national preserva. tion. “With the heavy inroads that death is making in the ranks of the grand | army of the republic, and the in-] creasing feebleness of surviving com- rades, .as the weight of years press upon them, threatens this custom with a by no means remote obliter- ation so far as addresses by veterans are concerned. No matter how gifted with eloquence others may be who take up the work, there will be lacking the magnetic inspiration of the words, however simple and home- ly, of the old and valient soldier. “Men of the Grand Army wear upon the lapel of the coat constantly ‘The Little Brown Button,’ showing | that their lives were offered upon the fleld of battle, and that they may be identified by comrades everywhere. Badges worn upon the coats signify the position held as officer of a post or in the department of the G. A. R., or their former rank in the order. Comrades of the Grand Army of the Republic have bestowed upon others, loyal citizens, an attractive badge, designating them as members of the auxillary to the G. A. R., that when waorn, will .be a constant reminder of the deeds of the veterans and the respect due to those worthy of the same. Business men are successful largely by their unceasing efforts, circumstances, and eternal vigilence. But if not sustained by the conditions made favorable in some manner, suc- cess is not theirs. The efforts of the soldier to save the nation, re- sulting in one country and one flag, has made it possible for men to ac. quire wealth and the nation to be- come an -example for all the world. “A representation of that body of men of the state and nation will soon come to the city of New RBrit- ain. April 15 and 16 next, the state encampment of Connecticut, Grand Army of the Republic, will be held in the state armory on Arch street. Full particulars will be published later. The commander-in-chief and staff from the great state of Iowa will be present. Others high in the order from adjoining states are also ex- pected. We have a beautiful thriv- ing, prosperous and growing city, secand to none—except in numbers —of which we are proud. Let it be said by the large number of success. ful business men and others to visit us at the time of the encampment, that the citizens are courteous and hospitable and the hand of welcome was everywhere extended.. Great interest has been awakened among the comrades of the G. A. R. posts throughout the state. Let us give them a hearty welcome. : “Very. respectfully, “FREDERICK V.

A | rey of the board of public works fea- tured the meeting of the board finance and taxation last night during a discussion of the financial needs of the public works department for The former criticized some of the acts of the department which found a staunch defender in Presi- dent Humphrey. The financlers disposed of the esti- mates of the board of public works and the city building commission anad adjourned to tomorrow night, The public works department asked for $196,694.25 and the city building commission for $3,800 as well as a re- appropriation of $3,000, which has not been expended. During the latter hearing Chairman C. H. Baldwin ex- pressed the opinion that the city de- partments should pay rent for their offices. 1f this were done, he it would show beyond all doubt that | the city building is a paying proposi- tion. Those present were Mayor Quigley, Treasurer Chamberlain, Curtis, Judge B. F. Gaffney, Humphrey, P. C. McIntyre, Schaefer; A. W, Abbe, E. N, 3. X Stanley, W. E. Attwood, August E. Wallen and , P. F. King. Bridges in Bdd Shape. Under the item of bridges, City En- | gineer Hall sald $8,250 would be need- | ed as repairs are needed on the Wells street bridge. the Clayton bridge and others. Tt will be necessary also to repair the bridge on Stanley street which was built to replace the old Gaffney bridge. Today it is in an un- safe condition and is growing worse because of the heavy auto trucks that pound over it every day. The city will be required to spend about : 000 for the erection of a bridge over the railroad track on Corbin avenue but this expense may not come on the city until 1916. A bridge on Monroe street was ordered three vears ago. Mr. Humphrey said, but the matter has been held up in the courts. This will mean an expense of $2,500. Judge Gaffney was of the opinion that the Monroe street bridge was not neces- sary. Many New Ostch Basins. For street cleaning $15,000 is want- ed. The board asks $3,700 for clean- ing catch basins. About thirty-five or forty new basins were put in this year adding to the maintenance cost. Minor items are crosswalks, $400; repair of crosswalks, $200: cinder crosswalks, $100: cinder walks, $100; engineer's expenses, $400; general re- pairs to street, $4,000, Opening New Streeta. I'or street grading $8,375 is This is less than the nnm\‘nn“k"d. lowed last year by about $4,000 _The Shepard hill grading will cost abeut $4,500, Mr. Hall said, and Park slreet extension is also to be graded. Another item will be Lincoln street extension. The completion of Shephard hill win mean that anto trafic will be diverted from Hartford avenue, which Is usually crowded with wagons, cars, and children. Judge Gaffney did not believe this result would be attained. The board asked for $24,873 for macadam to be used on Gold street, Harvard street, Keelseey street, Elm street, Booth street, Myrtle street, Park street extension, Ash street, Chapman street. It is theopinion that water-bound al- | macadam is proper for streets where there is not much traffic. There s ccnsiderable work to be done, ordered as far back as 1912 and many of the property owners have their curbs in and other improvements made. Judge Gaffney questioned the wis- dom of laying macadam on grades. Macadam repairs will cost $5,000, in the opinion of the board, and $23,876.25 will be needed for semi- Bituminous re- This will be spent on Franklin Square and on West Main street, west of the railroad Permanent pavement repairs will total $1,000. Removal of snow and ice will cost $3,000. Smaller items are: repairs of tools and ma- chinery, $400; storehouse and yard, $200; office expenses, $250; street signs, $300; auto and maintenance, $1,325; new tools, $2,800; 'care of trees, $1,600; waste cans, $200; oil for streets, $1,000: care of dump, Christmas tree, $75; rallings, $200. Semi-permanent pavement is to be laid on sections of Chestnut, Stanley, Dwight, Arch and Black Rock avenue. Mr. Atwood did not con- sider the work on Arch street and the north section of Stanley street neces- sary. Concrete Mixer Wanted. Mr. Humphrey sald the board pro- posed to buy an automobile for the city engineer. The cost of tools is high this year as it is expected to buy a concrete mixer. Two rolls for the squeegee machines. Mr. Humphrey told the commission that his board plans on setting out about 300 new trees this spring at a cost of $1,425. Gaffney vs. Humphrey, Judge Gaffney said the public works board is inconsistent. It wants to put out new ‘trees vet it kills off the pres- cut trees by ordering wider walks, Mr. Humphrey wanted to know if he would sacrifice the comfort angd health of -pedestrians for appearance sake. He sald Judge Gaffney would stop the growth of the city to save the trees. Two out of town criticized the policy of works board Judge Gaffney. k “Street specials” will cost 319,400, foresters have : the public in this respect, gsaiq of | said, | Cemptroller | Richard ! $3.- | sprinkling, $15,000, and permanent pavement, $12,000. The board would like to lay a block paving in Bigelow street from Chestnut to Church { streets. Mr. Humphrey said the rail- road was deeded this part of Bigelow strect so long as it maintained a three rod highway. It has not done this and Corporation Counsel Cooper says it is now a public highway. The board wants $8,000 for the purchase of a storeyard, $2,000 for | catch basins and $7,600 for the state highway account. The board has looked over a number of sites but may end up by taking over the prop- erty on Washington place owned by the city. In this case the appropria- , tlon will not be needed. | Expense for permanent pavement is ‘incurred by plans made for paving Lafayette street. Treasurer Cham- berlain pointed out that property owners would pay $4,600 of the $12,- 000. For street lighting $29,500 is want- ed. The board wants $1,670 for fits park work and $11,000 for sewer maintenance. This concluded the board of public . works’ estimates. The city building commission was then heard. It was represented by Chairman Baldwin and Clerk William G. Dunn. Charge Departments Rent, Chairman Baldwin made a state- ment in which he suggested that city offices be charged rental and al- low the commission to retire its bonds. In that case the commission would not find it necessary to ask for an annual appropriation this year, Mr. Baldwin said. He considered it a more scientific way of dolng busi- ness, Treasurer Chambarlain remarked ! that E. Allen Moore, former chairman ; of the city building commission, sug- gested that scheme some time ago but later abandoned it. Mr. Baldwin said the various de- { partments would not be so free with improvements if they were charged for the same. He has heard criticism of the city building commission and wanted to show that the building is a paying proposition. Clerk Dunn said he roughly esti- mates the rents that would accrue as $7,200. Commission Wants $3,800. Chairman Baldwin and Clerk Dunn explained that the commission would need $3,800 for 1915-16. Judge Gaff- ney said that the city would find it- self the defendant in a damage suit from snow falling from the roof. He suggested that a guard rail be in- stalled. 1t 1= proposed to put in rallings in the offfces of the hoard of publie works and city clerk, Mr. Dunn sald. There was no objection to the com- mirrlon’s estimates or to ite request for a re-appropriation of $3,000 for remodeling the city's tenement bulld- ing on Washington place.

FINCER PRINTS WILL BE TAKEN BY POLICE New System of Criminal ldentif- Gation (nstalied al Heacquarters. Following out the general policy of the safety bbard in trying to keep the police and fire departments abreast of the times, a finger print system was installed at police head- quarters today. While the system at local headquarters is not as elaborate as those in use in many other places it will serve the purposc excellently and will be suitable for use for many years to come. How System Is Used. The process which will henceforth be used on all criminals arrested in this ecity for any serlous offense a simple one to operate. A long piece of plate glass is given a thin coating of printer’s Ink and succes- sively, each finger of the prisoner is| the | pressed against it Likewise fingers are pressed in allotted squares on a piece of cardboard arranged in a special frame. For each finger on éach hand there is a special place. Below there is a space to put the fm- | pression of all of the fingers of each hand. On the to and bottom of this iden- tification card are blank spaces to be filled out with the Bertillion measure- ments of the prisoner and any other facts connected with his individual cage. In classfying the finger prints the operator sues a small magnifying glass which brings out all the pe- culiar marks on each of the fingers and in counting these marks for iden- tification a delicate steel pointer Is used. While it is extremely simple - (o take finger print Iimpreasions it is most difficult to distinguish them and ta become an expert in the art of identification by the finger print method requires long and painstak. ing practice. In addition to the new finger print ystem the local department has a set of scales as used in the Bertillion measurements, registering the prison- ers’ weight and heaght accurately. With the new shooting galery to im- prove the marksmanship of the offi- cers and the new auto patdol the de- partment is showing the signs of the times. Finger Prints Used Once. The only time tha tthe finger print system was ever used in New Britain was in the case of the man Vaughn, now serving a term in Wethersfield, for forgery. Vaughn was arrested by the local police and a sample of his finger prints were secured. These were taken to the detective burcau in New York, where it was found that ! 1 is | ‘ he was an old timer at crime and his | complete record was established, sulting in his receiving a heav: tence. Meriden Uses It Saccessfully, Not so very long ago the city of Meriden had a good example of the finger print efficiency. A murder was committed there and although the murderer escaped he was known, scme time sespects were arrested all over the country but as the murderer had formerly served in the army that re- sen- For | | tomorrow morning at department had samples of his fingcr prints and furnished them to the police, Thus, whenever a suspect was arrested a sample of these finger prints were sent and in this manner all innocent men were eliminated Finally the guilty man was arrested In Colorado, bu tbefore going after him the Meriden police had made positive Lis identification by the finger print # stem, Maple Hill News the Maple will o'clock meeting of society 8 The annual Hill Improvement held this evening at Puell's hall. b, in Mrs. G.
