A large number of people were present at the musicale given by the Woman's club at the Camp auditor- ium last evening. Rose Bryant, who is very popular with New Brifain audiences, and Frarces Parker, pian- iat, of this city, were the entertainers. The first number on the program was a group of French Creoie rongs. Miss Bryant rendered these in a most admirable manner and she responded to the prolonged applause with an- other group of the same melodies. She was followed by Miss Parker and the manner in which she rendered the “Etude in I Flat” by Liszt made a very favorable impression on her aud- jence. Miss Bryant then rendered an- other group of songs followed by Miss Parker on the piano. The Jlast number “The Great Awakening” sung by Miss Bryant was the best on the program. This num- ber gave the artist & good opportun- ity to show the powers of her voice, her versatility of tone and her de- livery. In each department of her art, she showed that she is to be rated among those who are to be classed among the great in the musical world and the thunderous applause which was given to her at the conclusion of her numher left no doubt in the minds of anyone as to whether she had made a favorable impression. After the concert, an informal re- ception was tendered to the singer at the home of Mrs. William (. Hunger- ford on Russell street. There were 100 guests present and all had an op- portunity to greet Miss Bryant in person. She proved to he a great favorite with those present and it is throngh the @urtesy of Mrs, Hun- gerford that the Woman's club has been able have her here cach year, FXDCUTIVE MEETING.

On the other hand, it seems to me that their work is not more dangerous than the daily employment of most|and the absolutely necessary expenses| program. of our people, and that some modifi- cation of the two platoon should be adopted soon to the hours without greatly increasing the cost to the city. Thé patroimen have been advanced from $3.00 per day in 1914 to $5.50 per day or $2,007.50 per year. “Common labor, working on the streets has been reduced over 50 per cent. and calls for no action at this time. “Some employes of the city have had no advance since 1914 and should not be subject to any reduction. “Other employes and salaried offi- cials have had considerable increases since 1914 though averaging less than patrolmen and firemen. " “1f appears that most of our city employes have been paid at the war- time rate and for full time for over a year after most of our population has suffered cuts in both pay and hours of work. “It has seemed to me that with some exceptions a gencral cut of 10 per cent. would not be unreasonable. “We have capable men and women in the various city departments, prob- ably they average no better than the rest of us, and may be entitled to no more consideration. “If city employes are paid more than they are worth an undesirable condition arises. Men in the council and heads of departments are be- sieged to maintain the high pay and find easy jobs for friends. “To quite an extent the tax rate is a question of the nuniber of city em- ployes and the amount we pay each employe. **A lower tax rate helps to cut down the cost of rents, and everything we bu Directly or indirectly all of us are taxpayers. “Therefore, all of us are vitally in- terested in securing an efficient city government at the lowest reasonable cost. “It seems to me that no city job should be paid very much more than that price at which an equally good man is willing to accept the employ- ment, “The preference, however, should be for the man holding the job, and: he should be retained so long as he renders efficient service. I “The appropriations for next vear are being figured. i “Do you think they should be in- ‘oreased over last year, or do you favor a decrease? “With, the exception of providing work for the unemployed T there should be reductions in the cost of running the various cify depart- ments and that we should practice the utmost thrift and cconomy in every department. . “As one of your representatives in the council I am anxious to know your views on these questions, and re- quest that you make answer on the enclosed sheet and mail to me as promptly as possibl2 m the enclo: stamped envelope.” Yours very truly, H. S. HART, Councilman, DEATHS 'AND FUNERALS First Ward Jamos Fox The funeral of James Fox was held at 9 o'clock this morning at St. Mary's church. Rev. Raymond F.

Mr. Chamberlain ad- mits that there may be underpaid city employes, but the matter of payment, to whom and how much, should be left to the direct employing board or the Common Council after a ten per cent cut in the allowance has been made, “Newt Britain is not alone in the predicament that it faces, every other city is in practically the same financial condition,” he stated, "and a liquida tion must be made,"” The analysis of the budget as furn- ished by Mrp Chamberlain presents graphically the condition of fixed pay- ments and “personal service,” or sal- ary charge. Estimating on the basis of a $2,000,000 budget the salary item, including all regular employes who are paid out of city funds, amounts to $000,000 or 45 per cent of the total appropriation. As fixed charges thr city has interest and payments on principal amounting to $430,000 which cannot be cut. The state and county taxes, which likewise cannot be cut.

A pro- fessional lecturer, Colonel (', W, Bur- pee will lecture to the members at the Chamber of Commerce on current events on the 14th and 28th of Feb- ruary and March. Miss Mary E. the house committee, reported that several locations e been looked over during the past month and that possible new sites were presenting themselves every day. The committee expects to be able to have the club move into its own home by spring. An invitation from the Chamber of Commerce to attend ,the open forum meeting to be held next Wednesday, was accepted. ® It was announced that#the Hartford B. and P, W, club will have a banquet, Iebruary 25th. Tickets for this banquet are in the hands of the local secretary. Curtin, chairman of amount to $115,000.

The sum of $600,000 will not allow for any great spending in any of the departments, or for the development of much street work, evep taking into account the necessary regmirs. It. may rot be cut much, if any. With the $600,000 gencral 0xpf|ls€ and the $545,000 fixed payment amount, there is obviously nothing else left to cut but the salary item of $900,000 which makes up the total budget estimated at $2,000,000, On the present grand list, which stands at about $89,000,000, a twol, million dollar expense mecans ¢ tax of about 221% mills. SCOUTS CELEBRATE IN NOVEL MANNER Wear Cords " on (%at, (ueries Signal lor Untying A novel method of observing today as the 12th anniversary of the found- ing of the hoy scout movement was de- vised at a meeting of Troop 2 at the South Congregational church last eve- ning. The suggestion was made by Patrol Leader Willlam Christ. This morning, in following out the suggestion each member of the troop wore on his coat a small cord re- sembling a Manila rope. The cord was tied in a square knot. The first person asking the scout what the knot stood. for would be a signal to. untie the cord, which would be worn loose- ly until the boy had done his one good turn for the day. Then' he would be privileged to tie it again. Each time some one asked what the .cord stood for, the boy was expected to talk scouting for all he was worth. Another feature of the suggestion was the giving of an extra cord to every boy. The extra cord to be pre- sented to the first person asking a question. Robert Christ was re-elected troop scribe, Royalstone Williams, assistant scribe and Kenneth RBehnke, troop treasurer. Next Saturday the troop will go out for a hike in the woods.

Gondolfo Show,Dlssatlsiacuon Rome, Feb, 7.—Inhabitants of Cus- tel Gondolfo, about 16 miles from Rome, looking over the beautiful lake of Albano, are agitated and have ex- pressed criticism because . in these days of heavy taxation the popes have paid no taxes on the huge papal pal- ace which forms so large a part of their little village. When in 1871, the tees was passed, the ment assigned to the pope the. huge palace of the Vatican and that of St. John Lateran in Rome and the papal villa of Castel Gondolfo, which, since the days of Urban VIIL., had been a favorite summer resort of the popes. To all these three palaces the right of the exterritoriality was conceded. They do not belong to the Ttalian na- tion, no policeman, soldier or other servant of the Ttalian government can enter them unless invited by the papal authorities, and they were all ex- empted from any taxation., As the popes nevet leave the Vati- can, no one of them since 1870 has set foot in the Villa of Castel Gon- dolfo. Tnhabitants of the village re- cently threatened to invade and take possession of the villa if something were not done. Thinking to mitigate the terrible scarcity of houses, the late Pope Benedict turned the unused stables of the villa into living places for the people employed on the estate. Be- ing within the privileged enclosure, they pay no rates or taxes. ‘The people of Castel Gondolfo say that the papal authoritles owe the commune 1,560,000 lire (nominally $312,000) at least for rates and taxes since 1870, They claim also that if the villa is subject to taxation, so also wonld he the Roman palaces and (hP income of 3,200,000 lire (nominally | $640,000) which the TItalian govern- ment offers every year to the papal authorities but which the papal au- law of guaran- Italian govern- thorities never accept and that the| sum now owing by the Vatican would thus become something fabulous. The popes have nevet recognized the law of guarantees.
