No One Wants Change, Councilman Landers remarked that he has not found any desire among the people for a change and he moved that any amendment regarding the as- sessors be rejected. This was adopted without debate. ¥ Retain Salary Committee. Councilman Dolan, chalrman of the salary committee, spoke against | placing the establishment of salary | {ncreases in the hands of the board of finance and taxation. He did not realize that salary establishments would ultimately be in the hands of the council by reference. Alderman Shine belleved it would be a good idea if an intelligent body, such as the finance board, handled He thought the salary com- mittee showed its lack of intelligence on Tuesday night when it decided in an unintelligent manner regarding in- creases ‘in salarifes for the city en- gineer’s assistants. Judge Cooper was called upon and ke said the purpose of the amendment was to.allow the hoard of finance and taxation to have charge of salaries Se 'that it can pass proper judgment on the estimates. * The amendment failed of passage. City Court Plans Adopted. /Councilman Danberg expressed dis- satisfaction regarding tne establish- meént of a city court and moved that it be referred to 'a speclal committee. Councilman Landers remarked that the amendent was purely tentative. | The amendment was adopted and re- ferred to a speclal committee to be appointed by the mayor. The matter of the salary for the city court judge ard the assistant judge was referred to the same committee. ~ Exit Safety Board. © A resolution was presented by Al- | derman Parker calling for the | abolition of the board of public safety | and the establishment of & fire de- partment commission and police de- purtment commission. It was adopted and referred to the corporation coun- sel for redrafting, it being understood that each board is to be constituted of four members. Civil Service Commission. Councilman Landers presented a resolution calling for the appointment by charter of a civil service com- mission of four members to examine applicants for the police and fire de. partments. Corporation Counsel Cooper stated that the council already has the power to authorize the appointment of a commission by ordinance and the matter was referred to the corporation counsel and the committee on ordi- nances. The ordinance regarding the pro- scription: of the erection of frame buildings to accommodate more than four families was taken from the table. It was amended by Council- man Teich to make it read that no frame building for tenement purposes shall be erected that shall be less than thirty-five feet from sill to plate. Alderman Shine and Councilman Paonessa spoke against the amend- On motion of * Councilman Landers Superintendent of Health Reeks explained that he was in favor of the ardinance. Alderman Parker said that in nearly every city of the size of New Britain such an ordinance has been adopted or is being adopted. This clinched the subject and the or- iginal ordinance recommendation was adopted.

No Alcohol or dangerous drugs. Edgar Rhaoades, for the sale of the municipal ice crop, was offered to the council for its approval. Rhoades is to buy the ice for $2,700. On mo- ‘tion of Alderman Parker the contract was approved. Clerk Thompson did not mayor's veto of the salary raise of Sanitary Inspector John O'Brien of the health department and a recess was declared while he went for it. Mr. O’Brien’s salary was raised from $750 to $900 at the last meeting ~when Mayor Quigley voted twice and it was on his own vote that the veto was bresented by the mayor. Councilman Landers made a mo- tion that the veto be sustained, say. ing that it probably put an end for all time to any double voting by any mayor. He also wanted the reso- lution tabled for a week and this was done. That High 'Cost of Living. The committee on the high cost of living received a blow between the eyves when Mayor Quigley vetoed fits report at the last meeting. Alderman Parker moved that the veto be sustained. Alderman Law- ver, chairman of the committee, op- posed the motion, declaring that it was not a ridiculous report, as it has been dubbed by Mayor Quigley and the newspapers. He went into eco- nomics deeply but on a vote he was all alone. A petition for a fire alarm box at the corner of Locust and Glen street was referred to the board of public safety. Resrolutions were adopted transfer- ring §1,000 from the street sprinkling fund to the general street department fund and $400 from the incidental fund to the gas light fund. have the LIST OF PATENTS.
