Looking ahead, the com- mitice urged “purzing ot the law of 1915 into which were introduced ob- cctionable features’” through recall of ; the original law of 1913, The state commission was complimented on its in of the law in spite of weak state.

The mecting was presided over by President Henry . Farnam, who ubmitted the committee report, from | which the following are excerpts: The war put an unprecedented train wpon all machinery of govern- ment. It increased the work of the Civil Service commission. The num- | ber of persons examined by the fed- cral commission increased from 211,703 in 1917 to 551,391 in 1918; the yumber of appointees increased from to 2145 These increases nt only a small part of the dif- ficulties.

Resignations amounted recently to 5.000 a month. Since the signing of the armistice conditions have been re- versed and many people are leaving Washington Tn spite of difficulties, important ps have been taken by the admin- raifon for the extension of the merit stem, The report cnumerated these b include; aminations for pres- lential postmz and where in- eases of salaries are made under the presidential order of March 21, 1917. The report said the effect has added rurdens to the commissions and these e so serious that the National Tivil Reform league undertook an investigation into this department with the result that the league report- ¢d that the commission had failed to dapt itself to new It is now using of the league in i The report says further perience in war indicates which to progr in the fu cannot rest content with politics from appointments to office.

We excluding put in its place the spirit of lexibility and efficients to Connecticut, the report the need of ‘“purging” the | state law, summarizing the ‘“objec- tionable features” in it, and gives credit to the commission for its func- tioning. It points out the difficulty which has existed in securing efficient candidates for offices because of with- of thousands of citizens into | the army and because of the demand for thousands of others in war indus- | tries where high wages were pald, | “while compensation of state officials is still on a low scale.” | Because of absolute impossibility to | scoure men through the ordinary | channels, the directors of the state prison asked for exemption from the law, In spite of these handlcaps, the | commission has done its work effi- | ciently. Some of the best maintained | departments have continued under it, and the Council of Defense, which | might have felt justified in asking ex- { emption, went to the commission for many appointees. The report states: “Now that de- | mands of the war are a thing of the | past, we believe the law should be re- | stored substantially to its former or- | iginal form that the state may not be | put in the humillating position of only | wanting mediocrity, and to make it | the duty of every public offical to ad- minister his ofice In accordance with the merit principle.” The report referred to a conditien in New Haven brought about by the | adoption of an ordinance making the | mayor ex-officio a member of all com- | missions, and how Mayor Fitzgerald, recognizing the force of the argument that the civil service commission’s duties are semi-judicial, had tha or- dinance modified so as not to apply to this commission. On the matter of veteran prefersnce the report said: ‘““We belleve a rule | should be adopted which, while recog- nizing the claim that returning sol- | dfers have upon the gratitude of the country, will, at the same time, mot forget the claim that the people have | to efficlent service. It recommends the following draft made by Charles C. Morris. of New Haven: ‘“In rating the candidate’s ex- perience and training due credit will be allowed upon proof of service in the army, the navy, or the marine corps in time of war. in every case where such training ! we must | progress, to | the | taxpayer | transactions. NEW BRITAIN will be of value in the posit' 0 the candidate seeks to hold. In like manner due credit will be allowed upon proof of vocational training furnished by the government fol- lowing enlistment. Double the usual credit will be allowed where the candidate has been wounded or otherwise disabled by reason of service and has completed the government's rehabilitation course provided the wound or its after- effects have not produced incapa- city to perform properly the dutfes of the position which the candidate seeks to hold.” The remainder of the report made a brief survey of the progress of the civil fee reform movement in the country. CHARTER REVISION UNDER DISCUSSION City May SelT Water to Kensing- ton—Several Changes Advised The first public hearing charter revision committee w last night and as only present it indicates that interest not great. Lawyer P. F. McDonough appeared before the committee in objection to proposed ediminatian of one of the taxing districts. He is opposed to the elimination of the one district and is one of the largest property owners in that district. The objection by the s held one citizea was was { he raised was that it was impaossible |to get des aot improvements fire protection could cause therc is no water suppl highways in the district are bad condition. As a taxpayver of the firgt district, Mr. McDonough said he had greater benefits than he did as a in the second district. Mr. McDonough seemed be williag to have the increased taxes if the district could but have the improvements asked for. TFor some time the people in the district have been trying to have city \water improvements but have failed thus far. Mayor Quigley stated that the prop- erty was not assessed at such a high value as in the other district. Mr. McDonough replied that it was nol the matter of payiag taxes that ha was protesting, but what he wanted was the improvements. Water Commission Heard. The board of water was represented at the representatives some changes. Changes proposed are the securiag of authority from the city to sell water along the pipe lines; the clearing of Roaring brook; trans- missian of bills through the council before payment instead of after, and the payment of compensation to members of the board. Corporation Counsel J. E. Cooper made an important suggestion for the bettermoent of the city’s financial He suggested that the approval of financial transactions might well be left to a committee of the common council instead of going before the entire council. Water Commissioner Kehoe sug- gested that the charter be changed in regard to the mayor's authority to break tie votes. The members expressed themselves in favor of securing an amend- red. Full be The also to commissioners the hearing and were heard on as | ment to furnish water to people alo pipe lines and within reasonable lim- it. This provision will probably al- low for the extension of the water mains to Kensington. The vote w to supply water within two mile lim- its of the city and along the pipe lines. Other Matters Taken Up. The advisability of haviag a revi- sion of the whole supply and purchaso | pravisions of the city will be con- sidered later.

The reason Vinol was so successful in Mr. Harder's case, is because it contains beef and cod liver peptones, iron and manganese peptonates and glycerophosphates, the very elements needed to build up a weakened, run- down system, make rich, red blood and create strength.
