S2.75 BEINU CRITICIZED Charter Revisiauigis_Want More Equitable Adjustment of Taxes The charter revision committee met | last night in the office of the mayor in City hall and work on the rev of the charter was taken up. Mayor Quigley presided in accordance with the provision of the resolution calling for the creation of the commission as presented by Alderman Curtis. Al- derman A. F. Spencer was chosen clerk, Meetings of this committee will be held usually op Tuesday nights. It was suggested by Mavor Quigley that January 1 be named as the date when all matters to be brought betfore | the commission should be at hand. | This suggestion was approved and | voted on favorably. Hearings to Be Given. At the meeting to be held Tuesday evening some hearings will be given to city commissions. The | matter of giving hearings to the board | of public works, the board of fire | and police commissione and the | board of water commissioners on next | Tuesday evening was voted after dis- | cussion, Public hearings will be held | later. The city court will appoint committees today so as to have isome changes made in the court provisions. The lawyers feel that the taxation of costs should be changed. At one time it was possible to tax half the amount of costs on cases amounting to less than $10 and which go to the superior court. In cases where the amount in- volved is over $100 the whole amount of costs should be charged, they feel. | Mayor Quigley suggested that if | citizens have any proposed changes in the charter they should file them in the office of the city clerk in City hall. Tavors New Haven Ordinance. Alderman Curtis brought up, for discussion only, a provision in the charter of the city of New Haven which makes the city liable only for falls on sidewalks where it is proven that the injury was received through a defective sidewalk. Claims are now frequently paid for falls on icy side- walks. With the provision of the | near-by city in New Britain's charter the city would save conslderable money in the course of a year. Judge | Cooper proposed the advisability of | selling city water to adjoining com- munities within one mile or mose of | the rcity’s bounds. This would rave to be done by means of an amendment and Alderman Paonessa questioned the status of the water bonds if such ! an amendment were put into effect. The corporation counsel sald tho question of the alderman was partly correct, but the city would be foolish next A change in the charter allowiag the chief of police to exercise discre- tion in releasing persons charged with misdemeanors was suggested by Sen- tho: v allows him to releasec only o charged with drunkenness and grancy. Approve General Tax Office. The matter of having a change made in the charter so that all taxes will be callected in the same office was brought up and met with approv- | al. One of the objections raised was because of the fact that the office of | tax collector is elective. | Senator Klett said that provision | ought to be made so that in case the | prosecuting attarney and 'his assist- | ant are absent a grand juror could be | selected to serve.
