The mayor's message follows: | “The ever increasing number of | gasoline filling stations being placed about the city is glving rise to a prob- lem of such moment that the common council should take official notice and erection of stations where they will mar the beauty of the locality, caus- ing fire hazards and property depre- clation, “Unless placed with proper restric- tions, the gasoline stations can create serfous fire hazards, particularly when they are located in small strips of {land in the business districts, as is |the case with many of the filling sta- tions being operated in this city at present, The fire hazard is an im- portant matter and in itself affords sufficlent reason for immediate con- sideration by this body. | “While this situation has ot as | yet taken on as scrious an aspect as in some of the other Connecticut :cm?u‘ I believe that the members of | the! council will readily appreciate that the possibilities are great and if New Britain is to be spared much |trouble, drastic steps should be taken at once to take carc of the problem. “I believe the council will find It | within its powers to pass many re- [strictive ordinances. Coordinating the 'work of the police, fire and bullding commissions will also assist material- {1y in bringing about the desired goal. “Gasoline flling stations admittedly, are an economic necessity under the present day conditions. They can, however, be a great hindrance to the | gou¢l, Main street for a short time, stabilization of real estate values, causing as they oftentimes do, great depreciution in property values, | "“Spanning the period that will lapse between now and the time the city Is effectually zoned, T think the |common council should take imme- diate steps to keep the filling station | problem under control.” | The above megsage was drafted o ‘pre-emud by the mayor after a o ference with the fire, police and build ing commissioners at his office.

By The Associated Press. Lakehurst, N. J,, Jan. 17.—~The Shenandoah, the largest airship in the world, poked her nose into her hangag at the naval air station at 4:24 o'clock this morning after completing the most remarkable flight a ship of her type eevr made. The flight wase one against the most stubborn eles ment of nature, a wind that blew a§ 72 miles an hour at time. This gale twisted the giant craft from her towe ering mooring mast at 6:52 o'clock last night and swept her on a mad chase up the Atlantic coast to Staten Island, New York city, where Captain Anton Heinen, in command when she broke away, turned her nose into the teeth of the storm and maneuvred hep back into her home port. Not One is Hurt Not a man in her crew of 22 wae injured, not a man was downhearted, Each of them declared it was the finest trip he ever made and each wa@ loud in his praise of the navy's pride, They took it as a joke and won the envy of their mates who had watched them drift away into the darkness. Ship Somewhat Battered The ship herself lay in her hangap like a naughty school boy whose truancy had brought him il luck. Hep nose was battered and she was some« what scratched up. A hasty inspec. tion showed that her front castells or gas bags had collapsed when she was torn away by the wind; the covering of her upper fin had been stripped off and wrapped around the rudder, making the craft exceedingly difficult to steer while there was stight damage to her outer covering, the material bes ing bent nearly up to her nose Captain Helnen who had seen the Shenandoah built and had tiied out more than a hundred other aircraft on their maiden voyages said after he had landed that without a doubt the navy craft was the strongest cone structed ship of her type ever made, Praise for “I do not bei which T bave flown would have suc- cessfully gone through the gale she did last night,” he said here is not 4 bit of doubt but what she will suc- cessfully complete her Polar region flight planned for next month, We will not likely expericnee such a tere rific storm as was raging along the Atlantic coast yesterday., 1If we de we can easly enough run around it “We had the ship under perfect control within five minutes after the nose cap was torn off. We rose 500 feet and continued flying at that ele- vation until we reached the coast neap Summit, N, J., when we went up to about 1200 feet . .OMOTERS, BOXERS AND MANAGERS AT SERVICES Who “Bud” Taylor Among Those Grieved Today at Funeral of Frankie Jerome New York, Jan, 17.—Frankie Jer-| |ome, the “Bronx Spider” was buried | | today while a throng of 10,000 paid | tribute to the memory of the ban- |tamweight who died after taking the count of “10" for the first and last time at Madison Square Garden last | Friday night.
