Comfort Station Matter is Only Item Which Doesn’t Receive Meeting’s General Support. The issuance of $175,000 in sewer bonds, $100,000 in street bonds and city notes for the amount of $30,000 for the purpose of conducting a municipal comfort station, was sanctioned last evening at the Gram- mar school auditorium when the City Meeting board held its first ses- sion. With the exception —of the item pertaining to the notes, the is- sues went through with scarcely any adverse criticism. The meéeting was rather poorly attended, but about one-half the number of Meet- ing board commissioners qualified to vote being present. Mayor Orson F. Curtis was in the chair. P. S. Wants to Know. Following the reading by City Clerk AL L. Thompson of the city notes item, President F. S. Chamber- lain of the board of finance and! taxation moved adoption of the reso- lution. P. S. McMahon took the floor ‘and remarked that he would like to hear from the comfort sta- tion committee as to what plans had been made, where the building will be constructer, etc. The mayor in- formd Mr. McMahon that the com- mittee will be appointed when the funds are provided and the site de- termined \by the city plan .commis- sion. ) “Then this convention can do nothing but go blind into this thing,” Mr. McMahon replied. “I'm not in favor; we ought to see the plans first.” Leghorn Amends. Michael Leghorn arose and sub- mitted a motion to defer action until plans are drawn and submitted to the City Meeting board. Mr. Chamberlain spoke in favor of issuing the notes. He remarked that the matter had been up several times in the past but had been laid aside. He felt that the comfort sta- tion was desirable. The speaker ex- plained that the $30,000 figure was but an estimate and if the full amount is not necessary it will not be expended, he told board members. Alderman Angelo M. Paonessa stated that comfort station proposi- tions had been introduced every year for the past fline years and he felt it was time that action was taken. Legal Ruling Sought. At this point Mayor Curtis cut off the debate. ‘He explained that no amendment such as that offered by Commissioner Leghorn had been pre- sented in writing to the town clerk five days prior to the meeting ana hence, in accordance with the charter provision, it was not acceptable. He called upon Assistant Corporation The attorney informed the chair that' it was possible for the meeting to reject the matter if it felt so dis- posed. At the request of Commission- er Thomas H. Kehoe, the lawyer reaa the charter amendment concerning changes in the business to come be. fore a session. It was shown that proposed changes must be made known to the city clerk prior to the meeting. P. S. McMahon explained that the but to defer. Lawyer Camp told the meeting that such action was in order,| but he personally felt that the notes should be issued. The board should not concern itself in details, such as plans and location, he said, it being preferential to have that body appro- priate the funds and allow the com- fort station committee to care for their expenditure. Hatch Also In Favor. W. L. Hatch concurred in Lawyer Camp’s opinion that details should not be taken up by the board. Mr. McMahon then said: “Hatch wouldn’t do business that way. We're just at the beginning of this ‘city commission’ business and we ought to start right. Don't let us say, ‘Hurrah boys! Here's the money g0 ahead.'™ James O’Connor and Abraham Gor- Leghorn motion was not to change |' NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD. BOND AND NOTE ISSUES ARE GIVEN SANCTION OF CITY MEETING BOARD The question was called for and the Mayor asked those fn favor of defer- ring action to stand up. Sixteen members jumped to their feet. The number in favor of action at once more than tripled that number. Ac- tion resolved on the Chamberlain res. olution to issue the notes, which was carried. . : Parker Has Grievance. Mr. Chamberlain moved the adop- tion of the $175,000 sewer bond is- sue. Edward Parker took the floor and criticised the means offered by the board for the transaction of city business. No copies of the business of the meeting had been sent mem- bers, he said, and they were unable to properly express the wishes ot their constituentd. The mayor, rather heatedly, asked the speaker if he had ever heard of copies of the business of a city meet- ing ever being sent to voters before such a session. Commissioner Parker said he had not, but added that he understood the present plan was to be an improvement over the city meeting. Commissioner Leghorn took the floor and asked the mayor what meth- od he had used in determining wheth- er or not the City Meeting Board was in attendance. The mayor replied that he assumed those present were qualified to vote. Ex-Mayor Has Floor. Ex-Mayor G. A. Quigley asked-If the plans laid out for the expenditure of sewer funds called for a trunk line in Belvidere, and when the reply was in the affirmative he inquired if a pumping station was planned. City Engincer J. D. Williams explained a plan whereby.a pumping station would not. be necessary, the cost being $150,- 000. When he concluded his explan- ation the forger mayor compliment- ed him and P.'S. McMahon called out: “Very good, Mr. Engineer.” The sewer bond issue was then cap- ried unanimously Work for Jobless. Messrs. McMahon, Quigley and Chamberlain agreed, when the $100,- 000 street bond issue came up, that it was unwise to bond the city for temporary street works. Permanent works were felt admisable, but it was explained that the main idea in the bond issue is to provide work for the unemployed. If the money is not voted, the mayor said, the city must lay off 100 men. Action for the issu- ance of the bonds was unanimous. TAXES FALL SHORT.
