L.A.GLADDING ) 4 Chestnut Street Just Around the Corner Council’s Dignity Hurt By Grievance Publicity Quite Put Out Because Press Was So Cruel in Publisk- ing Mr. Cohen’s Charges Regarding Pur- chase of Automobile. Taking the attitude that discourtesy had been shown to the council by first publishing in the evening papers his charge of discrimination in chase of automobiles and the pur- auto sup- | | | | plies by city departments, that hody at | its July meeting last night refused to give the charges more than scant consideration and after a brief de- -~ bate the original motion to receive and place on file prevailed. When the matter was brought efter City Clerk Thompson read charges Alderman McCabe asked about the $25 Mr. Cohen received on the Oakland car deal. Engineer Hall said Mr. Cohen was then the agent for the Oakland and received the $25 as his commission although the sale was made through Mr. Hine. Alder- man Paonessa said it appeared that certain departments give work to their iriends and such a condition should not exist. It appeared that Mr. Hall first favored the purchase of the Chevrolet and Mr. Humphrey the Oakland and the sale went to the Hartford agent. He wanted to know *why the automobile was not bought direct when the local agent sold it Councilman Curtis at first was op- posed to shelving the matter until he was informed that Mr. Cohen had gi en the matter out for publication fore first bringing it to notice of the council. Mr. Cohen, he hald, charges that one dealer gets the supply busi- ness and he thought he should given a chance to make good his charges. Furthermore last fall after the trouble over the cars last vear the board of public works practically promised ‘the council that a central garage would be constructed and all the cars housed in the same build- fng. Nothing has been done about the matter although other machines have since been bought. The thing should be systematized, said Mr. Curtis, who then moved to amend that the mayor name a committee of three to investigate the matter Quigley TIs Peeved. Mayor Quigley, who had given way to President Pro Tem Jester, jumped up the | be- | be | | some i acter ., council, | results. | if the legal time for appeal had passed | ders thought it would to the defense of his commissioners It appeared to him that Cohen was a disgruntled dealer. Money was saved the city, said the mayor, by the repair work done at the Elm street house by | the firemen, probably between . $300 and $400. The mayvor concluded by stating that if Mr. Cohen has any def- inite charges to make he should make them and not publish the matter in | the newspapers fir: Councilman Landers also defended the commissioners against the auto- mobile dealer's charges. He thought line should be drawn by the council between charges of the char- presented to that body by Mr. and investigation of depart- matters by the council. The he declared, should not be a clearing house for dealers’ quarrels, Councilman Curtis then withdrew his amendment and the original motion to file was put and passed Cohen mental Andrews Strect Grade. Two petitions by Andrews street res- idents for abatement of asscssments of grade on Andrews to the on changes street were called attention of the council by Councilmae he did not want to criticiza the board of compensation and assessment, it ap- peared that the essment was made before the work was done and present conditions show an injustice has been done these two residents especially. He recommended that the mayor and board of aldermen investigate the matter and compare the figures with Councilman Curt inquired and was so informed. It was a ques- tion for abatement. Councilman Lan- be a dangerous precedent to change the work ofi the board of compensation and asse: ment and suggested that the corpora- tion counsel be consulted. About Crushed Stone. Curtis said he noticed by the monthly bills that the city buying crushed stone from several companies while the original contract went to the New Britain Trap Rock Councilman The Delicate Flavor of Malted Barley-- So rarely found in cereal foods—plays a val- uable and necessary part in the digestibility of Grape-Nuts Blended with prime whole wheat, there results the distinctive Grape-Nuts flavor so attractive to the palate. Full of sterling nutrition, food is twice baked (about Grape-Nuts twenty hours) and rendered easily and quickly digestible— generally in about one hour. Many physicians recommend Grape-Nuts— “There’s a Reason” Sold By Grocers Everywhere. n May. While ; is | Co. He was Informed by Engineer Hall that this company is unable to furnish the stone as required and that the city is buying from other companies on that account. Any dif- ference in price must be made good by the trap rock company. Comptroller’s Report. The monthly report of Deputy Comptroller E. F.

Music of a very different sort is Casals’ mar- velous handling of the ’cello in Saint-Saens’ «Allegro Appassionato” and Haydn’s “Minuet in C Major.” Also in the August List Kathleen Parlow’s inspired playing of two brilliant violin compositions by Kreisler and Svendsen, Graveure’s inspired rendering of two beautiful old-time hymns and Rothier’s great bas 0 in the immortal anthem “La Marsellaise,” rank quite as high in artistic interest.
