No reason has been given by Mr. Norton for refusing to run for office unless it is the know edge that he no chance to win.

The report has spre.d about town that William Schroede”, nominee for second selectman, does not want the office and will not run. He could not be reached this morning to get statement as to his intentions. It also been reported that William Fagan is going to resign from school board.

The report submitted by the committee follows “Your committee to whom was re- ferred the matter of procuring plans and specifications and bids for the erection of a city garage, has com- plied with said request and hereby submits copies of the plans and speci- fications, which shows that in the final decision they increased the size of the garage between 20 and 23 per cent more than was contemplated when they were appointed and have required practically a fireproof structure “On investigation by ensineers it found that the grades of the lot were some two or three feet lower than ap- peared by casual observation ‘and that the character of the soil demonstrated that a more substantial foundation was required than is usually puf under such buildings. Only a few days were available for producing these plans, leaving only a weuple of days for bid- ders to make up their estimates. These factors tended to raise prices much higher than thev would have been under ordinary circumstances.” The committee feels that the work can be done if it is kept within the appropriation. The garage will be a first class one and will accommodate about 16 cars. according to Alderman Paonessa. Councilman Gillen said that the garage should not be built too small. Councilman Steiner asked if the heating was included in the appro- priation and Alderman Paonessa said it was. Alderman Curtis asked what progress the water board was making in the work and Chairman W. B. Ross- berg said that the board was hindered by the shortage of labor. Alderman Curtis asked what pay the men were receiving and was told fifty cents an hour. With four men werking the al- derman wanted to know how long it would take to finish the work. Three vears was the answe Alderman Paonessa resolution calling on the board of finance and taxation to take up the matter of an appropriation of $10,000 for the development of {he north and south end parks and that the park hoard report the wavs and means at the next meeting of the council. Al- derman Curtis said that the legislature .pproved of the city's issuing bonds for $300,000 for the purpose. He said that the matter had been before the finance board before and this hoard <hould be impressed with the urgency of the work. For this reason, he said that the resolution should be reword- 1. This was done. Vehicle Ordinance, Councilman Charles H.

It was refer- red to the water commissioners with instructions to do the work. Alder- man Curtis in speaking of the resolu- tion, said that referring\it to the wa- ter board would not get the main laid. He asked the chairman of the water board when the work would be done. Chairman Rossberg s that they did have 17 men in the department but that the strike had taken many away and the board was in need of help. Alderman Curtis then asked where on the list the above mentioned street stood. Chairman Rossberg said that they were working on it now but that a big rock was in the road and he wanted to know whether the city or the property owners were to pay for its removal. Alderman Curtis said that as the board had gone on record to do the work the work ought to be done. Councilman King remarked that when the council had ordered the work dane it should be done and the board should not ‘“come in with a camouflage like a rock in the road.” Salary Items Passed.
