AZORS | FTER SHAVING 'CHARTER REVISERS Some Do Not Favor Making Citizens in This City Proposed changes in the jurisdic- tion and procedure of New Britain city court, as drafted by a committee of attorneys, were presented at last night's meeting of the charter re sion committee in the office of Mayvor George A. Quigley at city hall and discussed at length. Judge James T. Meskill, representing the committee, outlined the plans and was closel |quo.~'ti(mv(i relative to various detai next meeting of the committee. It was the last session for tion of new business. Several matters were brought up and fuil discussed while final drafts of other's were passed as approved, Judge B. F. Gaffney presided and others present were Representatives Richard Covert and F.

Cooper Opposcs Change. This feature was opposed with Cor- poration Counsel Cooper, leading the objections to this phase. He said that it should not be the idea of ac- ! tion to make citizens of New Brit- fain but citizens of the United States. Attenfon was called to the time when , naturalization within the juris- | diction of the local court and he con- tended that it was not a success. He expressed the be that much more dignity is-lent to the procedure, if carried on in a United States court. ! He further said that being made a zen only happens onze in a life time for a person and the applicant i should be willing to undergo the ex- i pense and siight loss of time con- nected with it. If necessary, it was suggested by another that the city help out in meeting the expense but not try to give the power to the lo- cal court. Judge Cooper called at- tention to the regulations relative to was ided that it can oni in the higher cour that giving the local jurisdiction to be for securing the ileges and that the standing of be accomplished J He believed court limitless only a subterfuge naturalization priv- it would not add to the court. He op- vosed idea of giving the local court unlimited jurisdiction on the court that it is not deserving of such a stand. It would only be subter- fuge to get around the real facts, he contended. If the court is to | made of a superior standing, he | make the salary of the judge, 00 a vear and give it other adjuncts in Keeping with the higher courts, Mr. Kehoe argued that, if ar ments can be made whereby can be naturalized in this city loacl court, the id, ange- people by the he favors the change. At- tention was called to the present sys- tem whereby applicants have to | to Hartford three times to get their papers, lose their pay for the time gone and, oftentimes, have to pay the expen: of two witnesses on two of the trips. Judge Gafftney inquired Meskill as to whether the | facilities are adequate to j business that would come before the tribunal, if the limitless jurisdiction should be allowed.” The latter ex- ed the belief that it has the fa- cilities. Judge ¢ ey called at- ,tention to the need of a special sct | of scales for weighing and meas {ing in the naturalization proceedin and was informed that the one now in the detective bureau of be used for st for a time.

DON’T FORGET TO LOOK AT OUR FURS | J. RUBIN ,_ 135 MAIN ST. It was suggested that the matter be | postponed until the next meeting. Representative Hall objected to the postponement and suggested that Judge Cooper draw up a tentative amendment providing for the pro- posed merger of duties and have it ready for presentation at the next meeting. Judge Cooper mildly ob- jected to the motion unless there was a likelihood that the proposed change would be seriously considered with | indications that it would be approved. The motion was made that the change be anpproved. It was defeated by an “aye” and ‘“nay” vote. where in the city, whether or not tho street has permanent paving, was adopted. Previously subways couid be laid only where there was permas nent pavement. Mayor Declines With Thanks. Mr. Kehoe wanted a change in tffe amendment previously adopted reld- tive to making the mayor an ex- officio member of all commissions { with a vote in case of a tie. He sald. there is a difference in a deadlock and tie and wanted the mayor to have a vote anyway, practically making him a member of all boards. There was 7 spirited debate over the techni meaning of a tie and deadlock. Mr. Kehoe explained at length and there was an interesting debate betwecen hiin and Judge Cooper as to the differenec in real meaning of the words., Com- | missioner Steele objected ta giving the mayor a vote in commission meetings, excepting in case of a tie, saying that it might. be used to political ends by some mayors. After suggestions of several terms it was voted to leave _the wording as it is, which makes thg mayor a member ex officio of commis- sions with a vote in case of a tle. The proposed amendment providing that the building inspector be ap- pointed by the mayor, hold office pending goocd behavior and receive re- muneration fixed by the common coun- cil was approved. The proposed amendment to the powers of the water commis- ' sioners was approved. It provides that the common council fix the pay of employes but that the commissioners are given the power to select their employes. Approval was given the amendment changing the end of the fiscal vyear relative Mayor Quigley approved of the originips al wording and objected to the adding of the mavor to the commissions with a vote on ordinary subjccts. from March to February.
