Kennedy a permit lo erect a two- family 'house on Corbin avenue in spite of the protests of a majority of the property owners in the district was upheld by the common council at its special meeting last night, when by a vote of 19 to 6 ¢he re- monstrants were given leave to withdraw thelr appeal. Atty M, A, Hexton, who at various times waxed wrathful and eloquent in behalf of his clients, the aggrieved property owners, declared after the meeting that the appeal would be carrled to (%o city court, Haviley's 850,000 Offer Accepted Previous to the opening of the Kennedy case, the council accepted dn the recommendation of the board of finance and taxation the offer of B. A..Hawley, former park commis- sioner, to loan the city $50,000 for park improvement purposes, the noney to be repald without interest in sums of §10,000 a year for five years, The special committee appointed to confer with the corporation coun- sel relative to the Stewart building permit, reported that the applicants complied with all the requirements and consequently the appeal of the vroperty owners I8 not in order and should be dismissed. This was adopt- od. whereupon Councilman Donald I.. Bartlett moved that the building ¢ommission hold a hearing on the revocation of the Stewart permit. ¢‘ouncilman John O'Brien objected, psserting that the appeal of the property owners was too late, and should have been made before the termination of the five days as set forth In the ordinance. Should a hiearing now be granted, Council- man O'Brien insisted, the five days’ provision for appeal would be rob- hed of its significance. Councilman Bartlett put his mo- | tion in writing as follows: “I move | that the building commission give a liearing to all inferested parties on the revocation of the permit granted Mr. Stewart to bulld a two-family house on Corbin avenue.” Mr. Stew- art was then given permission to #ddress the councll, and he declared that were he refused a permit to build a two-family house on Corbin | ivenue, he would have no use for lots, and would thus suffer the losa of considerable money, After this, Councilman Bartlett's motion was passed, Want More Police in Fifth Alderman Stanley A. Karpinsk) presented a resolution for additiona) PoMce protection especlally at night time and in the fifth ward, where as the result of a fight a few nights ago, the father of a family recelved injuries which later resulted in ‘his death, Alderman Karpinski declar. ed .that at this time of the year, more than at any other time, such additional protection is absolutely vital. He asked that ths resolution be referred to the police commission, and this was approved.

Mr, Bradley is a graduate of Yale, Ph.D, and comes to New Britain well recommended. Mrs, Broxon will return to her home in Colorado. The claims committee recom- mended payment of $332.80 to Mrs. Bridget Murphy, 98 Commercial street, in settlement for a claim for damages for injuries recelved in fall- ing on an alleged lcy sldewalk on Center street. This recommendation | was adopted. Mrs. Amanda E.
