Councilman Clarence H. Maxon, chairman of the salary committee, moved favorable action on the report which would have been effective April 1, if carried. Alderman Wal- ter Falk moved an amendment that salaries remain as at present. There was no further comment and the motian was put, the affirmative side embracing nearly the entire council.

Burke to remove his car from No. 6 fire station, and ride to fires on regular apparatus, Corporation Counsel John H. Kirkham submitted the following statement: “To His Honor the Mayor, and the Common Council of the City of New Britain: “The following resolution was re- ferred to the corporation counsel for an opinion: * 'That the fire board be requested to instruct Master Mechanic Burke to discontinue the use of his auto- mobile for fire department duty and business, and remove his automobile permanently from No. 6 fire station.’ w1 powizss [CRAN (INFERENGE READY FOR ACTION Pan-American Envoys Geting Down fo Work Havana, Jan. 19 (UP)—The sixth Pan-American conference today got down to the wserious business of &rnnlzln' itael? for the work before Speaking of Sports Jerry Conway, Holyoke basketball (Tery star, made & great hit in his first appearance as a member of Vic Hanson's Syracuse professional team last Tuesday night, according to reports reaching here from the Empire State.
