S Lines Would Be Wiped Out and Levy Would Apply to| All Property Under New Plan, Reconsidering its action of last week, in which it was voteg: to extend the present limits of the second tax- ing distriet, the charter revision com- mittee at & meeting last night at the office of Mayoer A, M. Paonessa voted, on motion of Councilman D, 1. Nair, to recommend, to the common coun- il that there be but one taxing dis- trict in the eity. Civil Nervice Abolished, The com gate powers of agency to local banks in handling the city's sinking funds and sustained a previous vote abol. ishing civil service, Investment of Sinking Fund, Chalrman E, I, Hall favored an amendment to the charter to appoint a local bank agent of the hoard of finance and taxation with power to keep and invest the city's sinking funds. He suggested that the idea be adopted in such a way that it could | be made operative whenever need was feit, F. 8. Chamberlain, who retired as president last week, was in a position to watch closely the bond market while the present chairman’ is not, Mr, Hall sald, There I8 now about half a million dollars in the various sinking funds, a considerable part of which is invested in city bonds. I, 8. MeMahon felt a bank could make money for the city by careful handling of the city's sinking funds. He thought the delegating of agency to a bank would be a good idea. Mayor ‘A. M. Paoriessa approved of the suggestion. He-sald the retiring chairman of the board had suggested some such plan. At the request of the board, Cor- poration Counsel J. H. Kirkham sub- mitted a proposed charter change to appoint the New Britain National Bank, New Britain Trust Co. and Commercial Trust Co. as agents of the board. Representative E. W. Christ ob- jected to the use of banks' names since it would exclude any new bank that might be organized. - His objec- tion was responsible for a substitution of “banks or trust companies.”” On motion of P S. McMahon the resolu- tion was adopted: Champions Civil Service. Mr. McMahon brought up the ques- tion of retaining the civil service sys- tem which it was voted to abolish last week, -He felt civil service is an in- centive to study. He admitted it was evident that there was need for a change in the line of questions asked, but felt that it was a step backward. Senator Richard Covert felt the previous action should be sustained. Jew business houses use it and the state has discarded it, he argued. Also, oftentimes a young man, because the fact that he possesses better edu- cation, wins a high mark while a more experienced and valuable man fails of ‘appointment. Alderman J. F. Gill was oppoged to elimination of the system. ¢ felt it would injure the morale of the po- lice and fire departments. Senator Covert felt the two boards could pass better on the qualifications of the men. After a lengthy discussion it was voted to sustain the previous action. Councilman Nair proposed an amendment to have the entire city /made one taxing district. To an ob- jection that some farm land would thus be taken in, Lawyer Nair an- swered that land could be assessed accordingly. Owners of such land could appear before the board of re- lief if they felt the assessments were high. Mr. McMahon seconded the proposal. Senator Covert was in favor if as- surance was had that farm lands might be assessed lower than other sections. A. M. Rutherford told the commit- tee that the assessors have promised such adjustment. 3 It was voted to recommend that thére be but one district. WOMEN ARE POOR SPIES After Getting ‘Information They Feel It Is Unfair To Pass It Along, Thompson Says. New York, Jan. 16.—'The woman spy gets compunction at just the wrong moment is the real reason why women do not make good spies,” ‘said Sir Basil Thompson, former head of the British secret service. He was speaking last night at the Brooklyn academy of music. “She has obtained information from someone who should not have given it to her,” he said, “and then, when she should pass it along, she feels it would be unfair to her informant, and withholds it.” X There is a difference between the patriotic spy. he said, and what he called the “hireling” spy and added that none of the former was executed by his government during the war. Eleven of the “hireling” type were executed, he said. ngle Taxing Zone for City is Proposed by Revision itteg also voted to dele. | Committee Cooper President of Burritt Savings Bank J. B.

Would Also Continue Thoroughlare to Newington J. Gustave Johnson, alderman from the fourth ward and messenger in the house of representatives at Hartford, has had completed a plan of his ewn for the elimination of the grade orossing at Clayton which would alse climinate the crossings at East street and Allen street, Mr, Johuson does not expect to bring his plan before the common council but stated this morning that he will bring it before the hearing of the publie utilities commission and representatives of the state highway department with the New York, New Haven and Hartferd railroad company to be held at the capitol on Friday morning, January 26 at 11:30 o'clock, The plan is somewhat similar to the one introduced by the railroad com- pany at the hearing held in Hartford recently, It differs inasmuch as it calls for the continuation of Fast street from Lonsdale avenue to Weth. ersficld avenlie in Newington and the ercetion of a bridge at the East street crossing. It would eliminate the East street crossing and would block off the Allen street and Clayton crossing, He believes it to be a good arrange- ment inasmuch as it does away with two dangerous crossings within the city limits of New Britain in addition to the one at Clayton, Says Residents Favor It Mr. Johnson stated this morning that a canvass of a large number of residents in the eastern section of the city showed that they are in favor of his ‘plan. He also said that the con- tinuation of East street at lLonsdale avenue to Newington would make through streets out of many of the present pocket streets and would do Ladies' Union Suits; $1.75 to $1.98 Wednesday regul Ladies’ Seam Back Lisle Hose.
