SMALLER COUNCIL FOUND ACCEPTABLE (Continued From First Page), sixth ward is in favor of making the change, At a reecent meeting of the charter revision committee, Councliman D, 1 Nair expressed Himself as personally in favor of reducing the number of councilmen, lawyer Elias T, Rlnnolo. a ffth ward councliman, expressed himself aa favoring the idea and announced that he is willing to relinquish his seat to see the change made possible, Councliman Howard 8. Hart of the first ward heartily epdorses the move, e amserted. He 'favored mich a change when the charter revision committee was holding sessions last year. Councliman Maxwell 8, thought the idea a good one. one of the third ward members, Councliman F. 8. Cadwell, also from fhq third ward, thought such a movement would be in the direction of improvement, but feit the best change would be in the form of adopting the city manager plan. Councilman Clifford Hellberg of the third ward favored a reduction in the municipal strength of the govern- ing body. The transaction of more business in less time was one of the benefits that would accrue in the adoption of the new plan, Councliman C. Adrian Carlson of the fourth ward felt. He favors its adoption. A board of aldermen would be the substitute favored by Alderman George H. Wells of the fifth ward. He has been a consistent advocate of a smaller council for several years. He finds that in committee work more is accomplished with smaller num- bers and he feels the same would hold true of the council. Expressing a belief that half the members of the council are nearly asleep before council meetings are over, Alderman Peter J. Pajewski of the fifth ward favored a reduction since it would tend to bring about the transaction of more bhsiness with less talk and waste of time. “Cut_down thé number of courgil members and you'll find that the men Wwill knuckle down' to business bet- ter,” Counciiman Walter Falk of the second ward advised. Copneflman Herbert P. Xnowles of the fifth ward felt the proposal a good one and one which warranted a trial by the: eity. Favoring the plan to cut, Council- Porter He 1y | POt man Stephen A, Lynch of the sixth ward suggested that the ‘“off year" election of council members he done away with and that one alderman and two councilmen from each ward constitute the governing hody. Councliman James J, Dunn, also of the sixth ward, was in favor of giy- ing the idea a trial, Councilman Howard A, Timbrell of the third ward endorsed the move- ment as a very good idea and favored its adoption by the city, Reasons for Opposition, Councilman George Molander of the fourth ward, chairman of the claims committee, is the only member 'approached who s positively opposed, He advances the argument that 80 men {s not too many for a olty of some 60,000 persons, He feels that the smaller council would bhe a move to place the city government In the hands of a “clique.” In the larger body he felt the masses would re- ceive bettér representation. Councilman Otto Schmarr of the sixth ward and Councliman ¥, Howard Smith of the fifth ward were ecided, Each was ready to ad- mit that in favor of both the large and small council there are many sound arguments. , TICKETS AT $10 EACK Speculators Reported to Be Reaping Rich Harvest Before Yale-Harvard Game. New Haven, Nov.,23.—Tickets to the Yale-Harvard game on Saturday were sald to be selling here at $15 each today. The police as well as the Yale tickef management did not believe that there was speculstion in the tickets and any quotations or sales were belleved merely to be those between individuals. On the street there was'no evidence of the arrival of speculators, although it had been reported that several of Boston and New York were here and offering to buy tickets and to sell at prices from $15 to $25 each, Manager Wood- cock of the athletic association said he did not believe there was much speculation. The demand for over-night agcom- modations both for Friday and Satur- day nights has exceeded any previous year. The basic: price is usually §5 per person for a room in “homes down town, and they are very scarce. The United States has not always preceded its entrance into war by a formal declaration, having begun hos- tilities against Great Britain in 1812 by invading Canada and seizing Bgjt- ish vessels in American ports.

A return from the Bristol town clerk’s office under date of September 30 shows Miss Pearl Walter of this | city to be the bride of Arthur Bar- rett of Bristol. A certificate from the Hartford town clerk's office un- der date of October 4, shows Pearl Waiter to be the bride of Frank Brown: of Hartford. The girl's age, birthplace and parents' names are identical on both licenses. Moday’s inquisitor asked if Frank | Brown of Hartford, had been married in this city in 1920, Perusal of the records showed that Judge F. B.

The 1920 license gives the groom’s age as 18, and the 1922 certificate as 21. OBJECTS 10 LECTURES Military Order of the Worlq War at New York Does Not Want Von Muecke's Speeches Permitted.

Noon—There was a marked ab- sence of recuperative power in the market during the morning, some of the liquidation apparently being based on the theory that if stocks could not be bid up they should be sold.
