HARTFORD BEGONES PART OF THS Y — Yartford 18 no more. It has passed out of existence. At an ex- traordinary session of the “General Asseinbly” at noon today It was voted upanimously that Hartford shall be annexed to New Britain as a suburb and the city be known as “Greater New Britain." It was New Britaln day at the Hartford Rotary clyb and 86 mem- bers of the ocel olub went to the Bond hotel te take charge of the meeting. the New Rritaip delegation was a comyprete surpriss to Hartford and provoked considerable fun. The only thing which did not go through according to the program was the presence of Governor John H. Trumbull of New Britain Rotary It had been planned to have Gov ernor Trumbull preside. In his ab: sence Representative Fred O, Rack- liffe presided. The Now Britain meff resolved the meeting into a session of the “Gen- | eral Assembly”’ with Mr.. Rackiiffe acting governor. Dr. R. W. Pullen offiicating as eclerk of the house, sprung the surprise when he read the following resolution: “To the General Assembly. Petition. “Whereas; It has come to our at- tention that the City of Hartford would profit by a closer relation with the adjoining Great Metropolis, the Hardware City of the World, we wish to petition your honorable body as follows. BE IT RESOLVED: that; the general assembly now con- vening, take actlon in accordance with statute to the end that the City of Hartford be granted a franchise and corporate rights as a_suburb of the city of New Britain, Conn.” There was considerable discussion on the resolution, T. P. McAuliffe, exchanges mapager of the. New Britain branch of the Southern New England Telephone Co., pointed out that there would be a blg advantage to residents of the two cities in a consolidation because it would do away with toll calls between New Britain and Hartford. He could not help but wonder, though( he stated, where the telephone company would get off. Harold G, Shepard, secretary of the New Britain Lumber Co. pointed out the great saving to New Britain businessmen by the elimination of the inter city toll lines. Hartwell Taylor sald that because of the fact that many New Britain boys go to Hartford for thelr wives, the Romeos of the future find less difticuity if there was but one town instead of two. Louie 8. Jones, a real estate man, remarked that after the New Britain men find thelr wives in Hartford they have no place to take them in New Britaln because of the housing shortage, ‘but if the two cities were consolidated they could live in the many vacant homes tn Hartford and stil] be in New Britain, Claiming that it was Hartford's only chance to be part of a city which had a champlon high school football team, Max J. Unklebach | adi ‘The program in charge of | might | called attentjon to the fact that by ‘becoming part of Greater New Britaln, Hartford school chlldren would get more calentific education- ol facllities. J. R, Andrews, president of the New Britain Chamber of Commerce, asked if this Included West Hart- ford, and was told that Hartford had already settled that question. George Hildebrandt spoke of the fact that most of the workmen's compensation cases come from New Britaln now and that the commis. slon hight just as well sit in New Britaln, Al Jourdan spoke on the ship- ping advantages and the beneficlal nts of freight rates by making New Brtiain a shipping point on the Connecticut river, E. W, Bennett and Al Volz spoke on the question, John C. Loomis ob- Jeoted 'to the annexation until Hart- ford llquidat ity debts, but eug- gested that the golden dome on the capitol be sold for this purpose and an ivory one substituted as more fit- ting. D. K. Peary spoke of the heautles of Hartford's parks and the Hog River and the advantage of hav- ing them in New Britain, Mayor Stevens of Hartford point- ed out that two representatives will be lost by the annexation, but ad- mitted that eventually New Britain may gobble up Hartford. It ‘'was voted unanimously to an- nex Hartford and a resolution was | adopted, creating the city of Greater New Britain and creating two tax- atlon dietriags, that section compris- ing what now is Hartford to be | taxed double the amount of the New Britain dlistrict. Dr. Van Duzer peinted out an- other advantage, The annexing of Hartford to New Britain would give |'the champion foothall tearn a home 'team which was easy to defeat. Harold Clark called attention to | Hartford's lack of a good place to | train football teams and said if it | were part of New Britain the ath- letes would have the use of Willow | Brook stadium.
