The coun- cil heard the much talked of rules for the first time and some of the pr wide-extended smiles. The physical requirement sheet covers cverything from bad molars, to flat- foot and touched upon many other | things which only a physician can un derstand, After hearing the clerk read , Alderman McCabe moved to table for.a .w; to give the council a chance to study them. A lot of dis- cussion and: expression of opinion fol- lowed, but in the end, the amendment of Councilman Curtis to refer the rules back to the civil service commission, | safety board and ordinance commit- tee for certain changes and additions designed to make eligible members of | supernume; police force, pre- vailed. The ordinance committee was instructed to prepare ordinances to be reported at the May meeting of the council next week which will make it possible to proceed with the examin- ation of candidates for the fire and | police department without needless | delay. Vote Auxiliary Patrol. The board of public safety reported the need of an auxiliary patrol wa- gon and presented a resolution asking | authority to purchase a five passen- | ger touring car to be used for th purpose at a cost not to exceed $600 Following explanations by Chairman | Babcock of the hoard of public safe ty, the authority was granted. The committee on supplies was authorized to have the minutes of the council bound. The cost will be $1.35 in each | case. | Mayor Quigley was again conspicu- ous in evening dress and after the for- mality of electing Messrs.

Councilman Richards was nominated by the repub- | licans as a member of the claims and, railroad committees and the democrats named Mr. Smith as a member of the committees on finance, supplies, claims and licenses. The council took formal action in both cases. No New Job. When the matter of the auxiliary patrol was reached, Councilman Cur- { tis wanted to know if it meant another job as well. Chafrman Babcock an- swered that the police would care for that and there would be no addition- | al expense to the city. Alderman Pa- onessa wanted to know what kind of a car could be bought for $600. Mr. Babcock said a four or five passenger car that would shortly be worth about | $850 would answer the purpose. Al- derman Jester wanted to know what | a Ford ambulance would cost. Clerk A. 1. Magrell replied about $2,700 Mayor Quigley remarked that it w. a case of refusing the Neow Britain General hospital the use of the patrol or buy the car. Councilman Curtis | as in favor of buying the car. Mr. Babcock said the police department | feels the need of the car every week. | Civil Service Rules. Discussion of the civil service rules followed a report of the commission recommending the passage of rules on | physical = requiremen: City Clerk | Thompson produced the physical re- quirement sheet and proceeded to | read. The sheet was full of medical | terms and jaw-breaking words and the colonel was a bu man while wrestling with them. Smiles became general when the disability sections | were reached. It was seen that a man would need to be a graduate of Ber- | nard McFadden’s school of physical culture to qualify for every require- ment. As soon as the clerk ceased reading Alderman McCabe urged the wisdom | of a period of study. He moved to | have the rules printed in the minute and copies furnished the members of the council and to delay action for a week. Councilman Curtis, criticised the commission for not providing the council with coples of the rules before. | Chairman Babcock said the board of safety was anxious for action so it could proceed with the mination of candidates and make some needed appointments. Councilman Curtis thought the board | of public safety should he consulted as to the rules and their practicabili- ty. He also wanted to know if the rules would affect the appointment of the present supernumerary officers. Mr. Babcock replied that it is posed to harmonize the exis to permit the present members supernumerary force to qualify | poration Counsel Cooper explained that the present force had passed the physical requirement test, but some | new rules will have to be made. He | suggested that the board of public| safety and the civil service commis- | sion get together and draft the need- ed rules and meet with the ordinance | committee before the next council meeting. Alderman Paonessa suggested re- ferring the rules tb the three commit- tees for action and report. Mr. Cooper | thought tabling for a week all that J. M. HALLINAN, Inc.

Councilman Curtis thought the | board of public safety should have the right of discretion in making ap- pointments regardless of the fact that | the applications had passed the civil s requirements.
