Theso are quite an addition to our subway system. Public Department “This department the past year has continued its work along practically the same lines as formerly, except its activities in the suppression of the violations of the Volstead act, which has brought in quite a revenue for the city treasury. A request for more men in the department this year was not granted, as our appropriation was limited, but there is no doubt that in the near future the force will be substantially increased. Fire Department “Last year the improvements quired for the overhauling of the fire alarm system, and headquarters for the same were completed. The new ehgine house No. 6 was completed and put into use 0 much needed repairs were made to No. 3 and No. 5 houses. In this year's budget a new car was provided for the chief's usc._ A double platoon system was authorized and appropriations made for it at the city meeting, which is to be put into effect next October 1st. This will, no doubt, increase the efficiency of the fire fighters. In Installing the system due eare should be exercised in formulat- ing the regulations, ordinances, etc. that put it into effect, so that expenses can kept down, and only a sufM- clent number of new men be put on to Insure satisfactory work Soldiers’ Memorial Association “This is an organization of all in- | terests for one object. which. while ferred temporaritly, due to more pressing requirements for funds, the time will come when it will be one of the first prpjects forced to the front the revival of prosperity.

The present method of city purchases each department with several ple In some of them, having auth l.u to be “The his clome purchase, togethper with dividing the so-called y does not tend towards or good business manage- ment On the other hand, is the amount of business of that char- acter sufficlent to warrant the em- ployment of an agent for that pur- pose alone? Can an agent famil- |larize himself with the various kinds of supplles required by the different departments, so as to fur- nish them with which is best prompt- ly, and at a lower cost than under ]l'l present method? As it is dis- 1 fonary with the common council about putting this amendment into ‘upvn\llnn. I would recommend the policy of tronage, economy appointment of a committee to ascer- tain the facts bearing on this subject, and report to the council their findings and recommendations. The Burritt Memoral. “The committee having in charge the providing a Burritt or Peace memorial have performed their task, and now desire to turn over to and place it in the care of the city. It would seem fitting that the acceptance of this work of art, in remembrance of our city’s most distinguished and world-known resi- dent, should be accompanied by some gervice of an appropriate and pub- lic character. Therefore, I would recommend that a committee of citi- zens bo appointed and authorized to formulate a program for such an occasion, reporting at a later meet- ing of this body. Also, 1 would suggest that the ordinances be amended to place Franklin square park in wharge of the bhoard of park commissioners. Clayton Road Crossing. “Recognizing the fact that this croming in the Town of Newing- ton, and that it is the business of the authorities of that town to take whatever steps they deem best to protect the traveling public, it s also a fact that most of the rapidly increasing number of victims caught in this dath trap have been residents of our city. Consequently, New Bri- tain should have an important standing in the case. “While most of us realize that the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad company has its financial troubles, to me it seems as though there should be a limit’'in counting the dollars first and human lives fur- ther down the seale. What is the toll to be for this crossing before it is eliminated? Who will the next suf- ferers b Our friends or relatives are liable to he caught as long as this place remains open. Shall we remain inactive in the matter 1 say em- phatically, No. Newington could take steps to close this road. The State Board of Public Utilities can order the building of a bridge, for which thoy ordered the railroad company to make and submit plans to them months ago. The press reported they were submitted, and since then there has been a complete silence. I rec- ommend to your honorable body that the proper city officials be instructed to take up the matter with the Board of Public Utllities, insofar as practica- ble. and also that our senator and representatives be instructed to use their Influence, as far as possible, in the legisiature to have steps taken at once for the elimination of this dan. gerous crossing, even to the extent of the state's appropriating for a money loan to the railroad company to bring it about. “In conclusion, a year ago I asked tor co-operation, expressing the opin- fon that it was necessary for success- ful work.

New Haven, May 19.—Pittsburgh University vesterday subdued Yale 6 to 3, through terrific batting and breezy fielding. The stops of Davies, and his timely hitting, divided tallying honors for his team with the slugging of Halloran. Aldrich’'s two three- baggers, and Kernan's rescue role hit- ting, were the chief factors in Yale's offensive. Barrett's pitching humbled Yale except in the eighth. Tom Jones, brother of Yale's fa- mous stars, Tad and Howard, was tried at third base and gave a fleld- ing exhibition of high quality.
