I |Mangan, chairman.of the board of park commissioners, at a meeting last night of the special committee {appointed by the mayor, to take up the matter of adjusting salaries which are in dispute in the public |works and park departments. “Wo |were a little nervous at first,” Judge Mangan said, “but Mr. Ellingwood |has more than made good and is |filling the position in a highly sat isfactory manner. In my opinion, the | position and the man are worth more than $3,000 per year.” Judge Mangan told the commit- {tee that Mr. Ellingwood's predeces- isor was paid $4,000 per year. Mr. | Ellingwood as assistant superintend- jent was paid $37 a week and was al- lowed for rent of a house which was worth $26 a month. There is no assistant superintendent under the present arrangement, and the work in the parks is being attended to satisfactorily at a saving of $3.- 00 per year. Judge Mangan seaid he cannot go to Walnut Hill park with- | out being approached by numerous patrons of the baseball games, who compliment him on the excellent condition of the diamonds. The cred- it belongs to Mr. Ellingwood, the chairman said. “1 want to brand as a malicious lie the story, that has been spread | that Mr, Ellingwood has not had sufficient education to hold the po. ! sition, and that he cannot read or! qualifications and experience. Mr. Ellingwood told the committee _he felt there was no need for adding an assistant superintendent, as the work is being done by him, with the assistance of four foremen who are in charge of 68 hands. Complaints to the office of the department are fewer at present than ever before, MP. Ellingwood sald he has been told by ‘the office clerk. Chalrman George R. Dobson, City Engineer Philip A. Merian and Street Superintendent Eugene Faselle were heard by the committee. No {action was taken on any of the mat- ters because’ of the absence of Councilman Bablotsky, who is ex- {pected to attend the next meeting | which will be held Monday evening (at Alderman Nair's office in the Leonard Building. Mr. Merlan said the present pro- {gram of street work is the greatest the department has ever put forward lin his experience of nine years in the city’s employ. He said the trects are in good condition and the | oiling is practically finished. Conn- {cilman Maxon complimented the public works department on the fine manner in which the oiling and sanding work was done. In reply to Alderman Nair, Mr. Merian sald he has made his home in Wallingford for some years but he would move to New Britain if he received the salary he felt the office of city engincer should carry. He reccived $3,000 as assistant city |engineer, while Mr. Willlams, the former city engineer, was paid $5,200. The board recommended $5,000 for Mr. Merian and the safary ommittea cut it to $4,500. The ouncil rejected the report of the |committec and Mr. M |been drawing at the rate of $3,000 per year. Mr. Faselle told the committee he worked for a Bristol construction concern when he was 17 years of (age and later served time at the {machinist trade. He worked as a ! machinist in the Stanley Works and rian has since | DICTIONARY TELLY ABOUT PHRASES It Delines Them Just as Others Do Words Lincoln, Neb., Aug. ¢ P—To do with grammar what dictionary writ- ers have done with words is the idea behind a book written by Maurice H. Weseen, associate pro- fessor of English in the University of Nebraska. He hag tried to make correct grammatical usage as easy as correct word usage. Alphabetizing the stumbling blocks in English, Prof. Weseen has taken the most accepted ter- minology in an effort to aid in standardization of Engiish, which, he says, “can be accomplished only through a long and slow process of elimination and survival.” The material for his latest book, “Crowell's Dictionary of English Grammar,” was gathered during 12 vears as an instructor of English in Towa State coliege and at the Uni- versity of Nebraska. He drew the illustrations avery day speech and writing. Quotations from Shakespeare and Milton often are of little value to the person who seeks to settle in his own mind some doubtful or dis- puted point of usage with reference to a practical problem of today. For that reason I have emphasized American usage, both in the giving of examples and in the citing of au- thorities, and have referred only in- cidentally to English usage for pur- poses of comparisol from Niantic.
