He assured the members that he stood ready to work hand in hand with the council at all times. Alderman K., Raymond Gilpatric representing the majority members of the council, complimented the mayor on his message and assured him of loyal support Text Of Message The mayor's message follows: New Britain, Conn,, May 17th, 1922, Gentlemen of the Common Council of the City of New Britain: 9 Pursuant to the provisions of the charter, I herewith submit statements of the city finances, and my recom- mendations for the conduct of the various branches of city government: Financial Statement: Indebtedness 976,000,00 1.265,000.00 195.000.00 191,000.00 Water honds Scwer honds Street bonds Subway bonds .

This work is progressing rapidly and the commission is doing very efficient work. The policy of the board of assessors in the future will be to give more at- tention. to the assessment of taxable merchandise; and to land in the out- lying districts than has been given in the past. It is the opinion of the board that various tracts of land list- ed and assessed as farm lands are, in fact, not farm lands but lands which have been or are about to he develop- ed for building purposes. The board 1# at present investigating these tracts nd where, in . their opinion, said tracts are not being used for farm purposes they will list and assess them as building lots. Board Of Public Works Sewers At the present time the city is en- gaged in the construction of a truck line sewer in the eastern section of the city. This trunk iine is necessary for the convenience of a fast grow- ing section. It is a big proposition and some time will be needed to com- plete it. It is the intention of the board to push this work as fast as possible. Streets It will be the policy of the board in the future in all the main high- ways of the city on which there is heavy traffic to make the pavement permanent. This would do away with the necessity for yearly repairs and would work for economy. For sev- eral years there has been no perma- nent pavement laid in the city. There are many reasons for this, principally the high cost of materials. Conditions have now changed somewhat and I urgently recommend that the city construct at least one mile of per- manent pavement every year in the future, During the year just passed, owing to labor conditions and the high cost of materials a greater amount of s spent on our streets than ever before in the history of the city. Most of the work was in the nature of macadam, and these streets will require yearly attention, which the board of public works intends to give. Water The water supply is being planned along safe, constructive lines. This is a very essential matter for the wel- fare of the city. At the presen®time the water board is engaged in the drilling of twenty wells to be used in case of emergency, and will add to our present supply a maximum of three million gallons per day, or prac- tically one-half of the present daily consumption. This is the first instail- ment of the plan of water develop- ment which has previously been sub- mitted to this body. Future install- ments will ‘he carried on as expedi- ency requires. Owing to the nature of the soil some of the proposed dams cannot be built, and I therefore recommend that steps be taken to dispose of the land which is unnecessary for the protection of our water. In the pur- chase of farms for the develop ment of our water supply, it has been necessary for the board, at var jous timds to purchase entire farms in order to secure the land necessary for said protection and development. So much of thes= farms, unnecessary for protection of said water supply should be disposed of by sale. The land brings no revenue to the city, and those tracts where houses are standing cost us a goodly sum year- ly in taxes. Police In a city the size of New Britain . eriticism. there is an ahgolute necessity for an ambulance. In the past the manner purchasing of an ambulance to per. form this work in the future, Physical training has become an es- sentlal for the development and up- keep of policemen, and I recommend that some steps be taken to arrange for physical training for the members of this department, Fire Department During the past few years there has been considerable agitation for the two platoon system in the fire de- partment. This proposition has heen considered by this body; by the board of fire commissioners; and hy a for- mer city meeting. Nothing definite has been accomplished and T re- spectfully recommend that a commit- tee from this body work in conjunc- tion with the board of fire commis- sioners and devise a plan for the car- rving of this propesition into effect in as inexpensive manner as possible, The nature of a fireman's work re- quires that he be in good physical condition and in order that this con- dition may exist among the members of the department I recommend that steps be taken for their physical training and devilopment, Public Charities There is an immediate necessity for a new fire proof addition to the Town Home for the use of the female in- mates. The present building used by these inmates is of wooden construc- tion and is very old. It is a fire men- ace and unsafe. Most of the female inmates of the Town Home are either elderly or cripples, and in case of fire it would be impossible for an inmate to reach the fire escape without aid. The building as constructed at present would burn rapidly, in spite of the sprinkling system, and,there would be great danger of loss of hu- man life. There are many tires this depart- ment is called upon to take care of cases of mental disorders. The pres- ent accommodations for these cases tend to aggravate rather than to soothe these poor unfortunates, There should be a place fitted ups wWhere there is sufficient sunlight and veati- lation instead of the present dingy quarters in the basement. Health, The opening of the Rocky Hill San- itorium about a year ago has been a great success from a humamitarian standpoint. It has already provided comfort and aid to several afflicted patients. The work has Been most successful and should be continued, and the Board of Health should be al- lowed some money for necessary re- pairs. The collection of refuse by the City has been before this body on several occasions, and has met with your ap- wproval. There is even g greater ne- cessity for this work now than there has been in the past. The dumping situation has attained serious propor- tions. At the present time the var- ious dumping grounds in the city are not only unsightly but also unsani- tary. The municipal abattoir is practical- ly self-supporting and the amount of benefits recgived in the protection of the health 8f our citizens cannot be estimated. | Transportation. For the past year or more there has heen considerable agitation for better and more adequate trolley and jitney| service, and for more reasonable rates. | The City Government has done cverything in its power to secure these improvements. A committee of the Common Council; your State Senator | and Representatives, in conjunction with other citizens have appeared once hefore the Governor, and three times before the Public Utilities Commis- sion in an effort to better these con- ditions, without success. Under the present State Law all trolley and jitney transportation has been placed under direct control of | the Public Utilities Commission. I would most urgently recommend that the City of New RBritain, so far as it lies within {ts power, use every effort | to have the legislaturc grant/us tome | authority to regulate transportafion within our own limits. Charter Revision. | There should be some changes in our City Charter. These changes should not be acted upon hastily but should have plenty of time for con- sideration. I would recommend that a committee be appointed to draft amendments to our present charter go | that they might be presented to the | next legislature. | Court of Honor. At the present time we have in HERALD, THURSDAY, 3 between meals eatisfy that craving for “something to chew on” —yet they never dull the appetite’s edge. Prove it yourself, today! Walnut Hill Park what is known as a “Court of Honor.” The pillars in this Court of Honor are deteriorating and something should be done immediate- ly. Railroad Crossings. Ther is a very dangerous, unpro- tected cressing within our city limits at South street. There is another poorly protected crossing known as the “Clayton Crossing,” which is used very extensively by the citizens of our City. At this particular erossing there have been a number of fatal acci- dents. T would recommend that this body uge its efforts to have the Public TUtilities" Commission order gates for the above mentioned crossings, or eliminate the crossings entirely. Publicity. The citizens of New Britain are en- titled to know how the affairs of the city are being conducted, and for that reason, I believe that the meetings of all boards should be open, except in the case of some very important mat- ter requiring secrecy, when the boards should have the right of going into executive session. Parks. ’1‘}\:-. board of park commissioners are working on plans for the develop- ment of the North and South end parks. The plans are practically con- summated and the work of developing will begin in the very near future. The present city building, known as city hall, is not adapted to the pur- poses for which it is used. It is a very valuable piece of property, and would be of much greater value if used for other purposes than it can ever be as city hall. The building at the present time used for the city and police courts is not in keeping with the dignity of these courts; as a court house, the bullding has long outlived its usefulness. The sessions of the court are often interrupted hecause of the noise of trains which pass and repass in the immediate vicinity. The construction of the building and ven- tilating system are poor. It would be for the best interest of the city, both from a standpoint of finance and convenience if the pres- ent building used as City Hall could |be sold and a new building construct- ed, which would be used for the sole purpose of ¢ity business, T submit this plan as worthy of a careful study and consideration, One of our city do;\artmr‘ms, name- ly the water board, is having a set of books installed in their department in order that they might conform with the regulations of our state depart- ment. 1 recommend that all depart- ments which have not now a com- plete set of books be instructed to work out a plan whereby all informa- tion and data relative to their par- ticular branch of government can be obtained from books of account kept by them. There other are several depart- THE UNDERSIGNED 'mflnrn which T have not mentioned gpecifically, but each one of them forms an important cog in the ma- chinery of government. 1 ask that the members cof the council become thoroughly acyuainted with the work and problems of each branch of our government so.that we may benefit by the full force of your intelligence. The brunt of the work of munag- ing our city falls upon the shoulders off the common council and the com- missions and boards; and it is my de- sire that it be thoroughly understood that I, as mayor, hold myself ready at all times to recelve suggestions from them or to help them in their duties. Respectfully submitted, A. M. PAONESSA, Mayor.

The tragedy fole lowed a dispute over work. Pimples, blackheads and boils—fresh yeast rids you of them Itis well known that pimples and blackheads (acne) and boils are often caused by errors of diet. Fleischmann’s Yeast is now be- ingrecommended for these embar- rassing and painful skin troubles because fresh yeast corrects the errars of diet which cause them. The surgeon of one important New York hospital states: “I have used yeast extensively and found it invaluable in curing boils.” When 17 cases of pimples were treated with Fleischmann’s Yeast at hospitals in New York and Philadelphia the results were re- markable. A typical case was a young man who had suffered from pimples for three years. He ate threecakesof Fleischmann’s Yeast daily. In five weeks the eruption had cleared completaly. If you are troubled with pimples or boils, begin at once to correct themby eating 2or 3 cakes of Fleisch- mann’s fresh yeast daily before or between meals.
