COUNGL REJEETS CHOICE OF BUARD ONCONDUIT WORK (Continued from First Page) . of the work of the G. M. Gest com- pany under difficult traffic condi- tions on Commercial street. There were mo votes at the board meet- ing against awarding the contract to the Gest company, he told the council, Alderman David L. Nair disagreed with the city engineer and asked him not to take personal matters | into consideration in city business.| He declared the Gest company | blocked Commercial street consider- | ably. The fact that Suzio was ths low bidder and is a local man were | arguments stressed by him in favor | of changing the contract. ‘While he could not.agree with the board in this instance, Councilman | D. L. Bartlett would not question | the commissioners’ sincerity and de- «ire to do the right thing, he de- clared. Councilman 8. M. Cooper favored | accepting the recommendation be-, cause it is the board’s opinion it is for the best. “We do not alway: buy for price alone,” he declared After the council had rejected the | recommendation, Alderman Judd | was asked by Chairman Reginald Towers to introduce a new resolu-| tion empowering the commissioners | to engage Suzio. The resolution was | introduced and adopted. Alderman Nair and Councilman Sabloteky presented a resolution to have the ordinance committee con- sider establishment of taxicab | stands on Church street. Criticizes Snpernumersries | The same members recommended | that the police board method of | appointing supernumeraries and | instructing them be explained to the council by an investigating com- mittee. Alderman Nalr told of busi- nessmen being required to ride to headquarters after committing minor infractions of the motor vehicle law. He remarked that many actions of | policemen show lack of proper in- struction. The alderman told of one | policeman receiving word from headquarters that an automobile had been stolen. “I catch him,” the policeman is said to have replicd and when the desk officer asked| him to repeat, he again said, “I| catch him.” The patrol wagon was| sent at once to the officer's beat to take the captured malefactor to | headquarters, but when it arrived it was found that he merely meant ! ohe wWould try to catch him. Another officer, Nair made excepting that the street be put back in condition and kept so ifor one year, making it impossible for the papers to be produced. The alderman declared in favor of filing all papers stating: “If the bond is O. K. why hesitate! If there’s anything ‘shady’ about it we can find out ourselves, I suppose.” Wants Paving Investigated Councilman Sablotsky moved ap- | pointment of a committee of five to investigate the South Main and Stanley streets paving. He explained that reports as to who would pay the bill are in conflict and that this and other mattcrs should be in- vestigated. 1If the board of public ing the state pave the street it should be complimented, but if not | it should be censured for unauthor- | ized paving operations, the sixth| warder argued.

Recommendation For Airport A resolution from Eddy-Glover post, American Legion, recommend- ing establishment of an airport was forwarded to the board of finance and taxation. The claims committee recom- mended that Mrs, George Talbot who was injured by reason of a sidewalk defect on South Main street be pald $350 and it was so voted. Tnspector A. N. Rutherford's sug- gestion that garages outside the fire limits be allowed to carry non-fire- proof shingles was accepted made into an ordinance, The petition of Hattie T. Peterson and | “ Councilman Sablotsky questioned |the estimate of Judd as high. He presented the following arguments: | “In the city of Hartford, between {600 and 700 persons use the munici- pal golf course every day during the playing months and as many of 50 cars are parked every morning be- fore 7 o'clock. The gross cost of Goodwin park course in the 21 years it has been operating is $125,547.- 30, the Income $§1,664.10, making the net cost to the city $50.928.08. For the first five years of this term no fees were collected. Due to the increased interest in golf the revenue has jumped in recent years, and in 1924 and 1926 the links were more than self supporting, turning back seme revenue to the city. In 192 the cost to the city was $354.20.
