It would seem fitting that the ac- ceptance of this work of art, in re- membrance of our city's most dis- tinguished and world-known resi- dent, should be accompanied by some service of ©n appropriate and public character. Therefore, I wouid recommend that S a commitiee . of citizens be ‘appointed and authorized to formulate a prozram for such an occasion, reporting at i later meet- ing of this body.” Another jmportant matter dis- cussed by Mayor Curtis was in ref- erence to a purchasing agent for the city. His remarks on this subject were: “One of the charter amendments provides for board of . purchase and supplies. This has consideraion for =everal years. The present method of city purchases * * * does not tend toward economy or good business management. On the other hand, is the amount of business of that character sufficient to warrant the cmployment of an agent for that purpose alone? Can an agent famfliarize himself with the various kinds of supplies re- quired by the different departments g0 to furnish them with what is best promptly and at a lower cost then under the present method? As it is discretionary with the common council about putting this amend- ment into operation, T would recom- mend the appointment of a com- mittee to ascertain the facts bearing this subject and report to the oouncil their finding and recom- mendations.” A Purchasing agents have been tried in a number of cities and opinion is not unanimous whether they have been successful. However, .Mavor Curtis should have no fear about a agent’'s inability to fam- the supplies re- by the departments.

Judging by ‘the at- tendance at Sunday night services, New Britain contains comparatively few families who are not represented. In is an excellent recommendation.
