Also it acted as a clearing house with the city charity department and dif- ferent local organizations, such as the Red Cross, Charity Organization, Boy Scouts, soldiers service bureau and others, ascertaining what people were out 6f work and those who required aid tand investigated the applicant’s circumstances as thoroughly as prac- tical; also solicited information from local factory offices, business houses and’ individuals regarding openings for those who were looking for em- ployment. This office was put into operation about the first of May. It embraces in its operation all city de- partments such as water, parks, streets, sewer and building depart- ments for school, in securing places for people who are out of work as well as availing itself of all other chances. Tells of Service Bureau. “A service bureau was alse estab- lished to aid ex-servicemen in securing national dues, state aid and lecal as- sistance for themselves and family, as well as employment when posstble, thereby entailing thousands of dollars expense on the city. “Only a small part of those who solicited work could be employed at one time, so a weekly or semi-menthly shift was made so that there was a frequent change for nearly everyone except those whom it was found neces- sary from the experience of the fore- men to keep directing the rest. . This system has been in bperation now for nearly six months, and on the whole has proved as satisfactory as could be expected. It affords only temporary relief but it inspires confidence in the unemployed that the local authorities are doing everything possiple to sup- ply ‘their wants and they have their welfare at heart. Employment Policy. “In furnishing work as above stat- ed, care is taken to employ residents of the place in preference to aliens or residentd of other localities and when those apply they are advised to return to their homes and be taken care of there. The city also has been put to the expense of deporting quite a num- ber of foreigners who came here with- in the last few months with the ex- pectation of securing work but instead became public charges. “Many of our merchants hava ‘been assisted insofar as their taxes due the city were concerned by the city charity department purchasing supplies from them under - favorable conditions, thereby aiding both the individual and the city. We have made provision so that this work can be continued .throughout the winter. City’s Plan Commended.. “We Dbelieve that this city has as good, if not a better system for handl- ing the situation as any in the United States considering its means and size. The unemployed have ranged from 2,500 up to 7,500 and 8,000 and at the present time it is safely estimated that there atre 3,500 to 4,000 persons out of work. The situation has slowly improved during the past few weeks and we hope that it will continue along the same lines although it can hardly be expected to be of a perma- nent character before spring. “In my opinion the aid which the government should give us ought to be legislation to curb the importation of manufactured goods from foreign countries at such low prices: as to bring them in competition with the goods manufactured here. Locally the working men on part time at pre- war wages and the continued high prices of food clothing and rents, only exist by running deeply into debt and are nearly as bad off as those who have no work. The government, also, by its advice to the business men and corporations throughout the country to forego any appreciable profits to increase the:size of their plants or add to their capacity and give other men employment at the present time would be of great assistance if it is acted upon. Praises (‘onlere'nce. “I feel tflat the recent unemploy- ment conference at Washington acted very judicicusly and gave commenda- ble recommendations and am only sorry that it could not have been held several months ago instead of on the verge of winter. Very sincerely vours. Orson F. Curtis, Mayor of New Britain.” LIGHTHOUSE T, 1S GOING BY AUCTION (Continued From First Page) entrance to New Haven harbor. Be- fore the building of the New Haven breakwaters @nd the lighthouses thereon, it was the old lighthouse at Lighthouse Point that was used to guide the mariners along the Sound. Historically, the site of this light- house is of some interest for it was on these rocks that an idvading band of British Redcoats landed during the early days of the revolu- tion to march on the town of New Haven. In later years the light- house itself was used as a United States weather department signal tower. Fort Hale is also well known to people in this vicinity. It is located in what is known as Fort Hale park, across the cove from ° Lighthouse Point and actually covers the inlet into the harbor proper. During the days of the civil war a rude earthen fort was constructed there,. with a moat and protecting barricades. At present the old earthern ramparts and mounds of the fort itself are in 4 good state of preservation, 'as is the old moat, which is used ex- tensively as a “swimmin’ hole.” COUNCIL SESSION SHORT BUT AGTIVE Governmental Body Authorizes Purchase of Park Lands In a short snappy session of the common council last evening authori- zation was given the park board to purchase two pieces of property for the north end tract; an ordinance re- stricting traffic on the north side «f Lafayette street was adopted; a cut in the salary of health superintendent from $3,500 to $2,500 was approved; the water board's suggestion that no fishing be allowed at Shutle Meadow was accepted; the payment of $4,840 for screens at the sewer beds was ordered, and various commiittee re- ports were accepted. The council adjourned without dis- cussing any business other than that on the table. As had been predicted, neither Alderman A. M. Paonessa.nor any of the other leaders in the two platoon fight introduced a resolution to reopen that issue. No action was taken to suspend or impeach Prose- cuting Attorney Albert A. Greenberg, now under arrest for accepting a bribe Property Purchased The property purchased includes the N. A. Hooker site, for which $1,600 will be paid, and the holdings of the heirs of Anne Gaffney, for which, ac- cording to terms of an option held by the city, $4,500 will be paid. The park board’s recommendation was adopted without a dissenting vote. Mayor Cur- tis explained to the council that the properties are the last to be purchased for the north and south end tracts. Bills to the amount of $42,266.39 were approved amd their payment ordered. In connection with its recommenda- tion that fishing at Shuttle Meadow lake be prohibited, the water board submitted correspondende between that commission and the state depart- ment, indicating that the latter body did not favor the granting of fishing permits. The action was taken on a petition of James Sloan and a number of others. A lenthy report was submitted on the method and benefits of sewage dis- posal. The screening method, it was pointed out, was satisfactory, and the pa.yment of the purchgise price on the screen now working, and the purchase of another screen, was recommended. The expenditures for this work will run to $4,840. Alterations in subway manholes, the cost of which will be $2,350, were ap- proved. Public Works The board of public works made several reports. The recommendation establishing fifty-foot street lines and fifteen-foot building lines on Hawley street was adopted. A favor- able report on the opening of Lakeview avenue, between Corbin avenue apd Mason avenue, was ac- cepted. follows: Preparing profiliz and edggv' lishing grades on Logan street, tween Brook and Mill streets; estab- lishing grade lines on Pond street, between Rentschler and Mill streets; Other favorable reports were as|: See that fellow going in‘to Hawker’s now?
