The widening scheme was ap- proved more than a year ago and || was sent to the board of compensa- tion and assessm.nt for the fixing of damages and benefits, but that board neglected to give a hearing to the property owners west of Grand street. They protested against making payments when they were not heard and the common council referred th. report back to the compensation board for a new hear- ing. At last night's session, the ques- tion was raised as to whether it was possible to proceed with the work to Grand street and set aside the assessments below that point. Judge Kirkham was unable to answer, ex- plaining that the assessments might bave been inter-related, the proper- ty owneis beyond Grand strect be- ing assessed for whatever benefit would come by reason of the street widening in prox'mity to their hold- ings, or it might have becn intend- ed that the paymcut represent the actual beneit at their frontage, some Assessments Paid Attention was called to the fact that some of the property owners have already paid the assessment and other properties are now liened. Mayor Paonesca cited charter pro- visions which require the liening of properties under these conditions, but no payment is rcquired until the work is done and no interest is charged on the lien. After discussion pro and con it was decided that the project is properly before the board of com- pensation and assessment for hear- ing and it was voted to so inform the board. A resolution germane to this hichway betterment was introduced by Councilman William F. Huber of the first ward who proposed that the Connecticut Co. be requested to re- move its trolley tracks and over- head wires on Arch street. Mr. Huber pointed out that bus service has proved entirely sati:actory. Councilman John E. Holmberg moved that the park commission be requested to install lights at the NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1928, —_— contracts in which the priced were fixed by the council.

Walsh and Cantillon in 8an Fran- cisco last night said they had two affidavits to support their request for a sanity hearing and that they probably would present these to Hol- ohan today.

Boyle, Mayor Paonessa was in- structed to see that Chairman Thomas Linder of the board of as- sessors discontinues outside ap- praisal work during the hours he is in the city employ and devotes his entire time to municipal business. The councilman made it plain that he has no grievance against Linder but that he feels the privi- lege he now holds should be curbed. He argued that it was unfair to re- quire policemen and firemen to de- vote their entire time to the city and allow Linder to carry on private ap- praisal work, and he asked if there are any council members whose em- ployers would sanction such a prac- As the vote was being put, Coun- climan Holmberg interjected: “I hope this includes all city officlals.” Alderman Falk asked immediate action on his petition for improve- ments on Whitman street.

Merian for money which he claims became due him during the period when his salary was under discussion and in dispute, ‘was settled on motion of Alderman J. Gustav Johnson who suggested that $387.43 be paid to the engineer, $197.67 being taken from the street account, and $189.76 from the sew- er account. This settlement had ‘been agreed upon with the engineer and it was voted. Payment of discounted bills amounting to approximately $15,000 ‘was objected to by Alderman John- son, chairman of the finance com- mittee, on the ground that he has not seen the bills. Town Clark A. L. Thompson and Mayor Paonessa ad- vised him that the charter permits of paying bills in this manner to ob- tain discounts, and Alderman W. H. Judd added to the argument the ex- planation that all bills concerned PIVPLES ON FACE 2 YEARD Large and Festered, Healed by Cuticura, “J was bothered with pimples that were scattered all over my face.

IN PRISON POR 4 YEARS, CALLS IT HOME Aged South Carcling Negro Declines Freedom From Pemiten- tary Charleston, 8 C., Oct. 17 (UP)— Walls have not a prison made—but have made a home for Henry Scriv- ens, negro, now in his ¢5th year of confinement at the state peniten. tiary, Decrepit, partially paralysed, the prisoner who began his life within the walls in 1885 for “burglary and larceny” fears more than any other one thing—treedom. He runs away from outsiders and when granted & parole in 1924, came back tearfully after three months, begging to be allowed “to come home again.” No one knows what Scrivens stole—Scrivens himselt has forgotten in these later years for his memory has failed—but some sy it was an anchor from a boat. The prison record simply says: “Henry Scrivens, No. 19,389, Charleston county. Burglary and larceny. Sentenced to lite imprison- ment by Judge Watts in 1885, Sen- tence suspended June 11, 1924 and voluntarily returned Sept. 37, 1924.” It is the old negro's duty to keep the second floor of the prison in- tirmary clean. Prison officials say it 1s spotless. From the second floor of the infirmary to his ocell tier is Scriven's world. He will only venture into other corridors when ordered. He trembles and weeps when in any other part of the prison. Bcrivens has outlived all other prisoners who came here during the past century. ik it i Women drivers like our Service !!
