Common Council Asks Fire Board proval was voted. Johnson'’s Salary Set At $24,000 The salary committee was revers- To Reprt on West hd station ed by a close vote in its move to Barnesdale Sewer Project Also Given Impeetus— Franklin Square Gas Station Again Disputed. On motion of Councilman Samuel Bablotsky of the sixth ward, the common council last night requested the board of fire commissioners to present to the May meeting a re- port on progress made toward erec- tion of a Barnesdale fire station and wuggestions as to means of financing. The councilman said that that district is without fire protection and went on record as favoring early action to remedy the situation. Councilman William D. Boyle was of like mind, he declared, but ex- pressed himself as curious to learn what steps can be taken, since the board of finance and taxation has made no provision for the job in this year's budget. Alderman Donald 1. Bartlett also eonsidered the outlook dubious but was willing to vote on any motion which might bring to a realization | the hopes of Barnesdale residents. In further explanation of his mo- tlon, Councilman Sablotsky said the fire board's report will at least en- lighten the council on what has been done and what can be done with the council's cooperation. Sewers For Rarnesdale Another Barnesdale improvement was projected by Councilman W. Spaulding Warner of the third ward whose motion to bring about action on the construction of sewers in the district was approved by the coun- cil. The councilman moved for a re- port at the next meeting on the rea- sons for delay in beginning opera- tions. Chairman George R. Dobson, who was in the council room, ex- plained that the Sandberg estate has held up the job by refusing to sign waivers which would allow the sewer lines to go through its prop- | orty. Alderman J. Gustave Johnson de- fended the Sandbergs. “The Sand- berg family has been to see me,” he said, “and they have said the city engincer made no proposition to them. They own the land and have paid taxes on it, and it isnt unrea- sonable to ask for a proposition if their land is to be used. If the board of compensation and assessment wants to give them a fair price, they are ready to do business any time,” Johnson declared. Councilman Frank L. Conlon, a former public works board chair- man, ironed out the difficulty to the | satisfaction of all sides when he rec. ommended that the matter be sent to the board of compensation and assessment with power to act. Object to Dumping Grounds Protests against dumping grounds came to the common council from |Joseph G. Woods and William M property owners in the locality o Atlantic street dump, and from per. sons living near the Glen street dump. The first sent in a petition for relief, while the second took on the form of a demand for action. On motion of Councilman Sa- blotsky, the board of public works | was requested to bring to the next council meeting, a report on the pos- sibilities of widening Hartford ave- | nue, from 8pring strect to North street. Holding to the attitude which characterized common council ac- tions in two preceding years, a unanimous vote to table indefinitely the petition of shoe shining shop owners to bar atreet bootblacks, was passed. Councilman Conlon made the motion and there was no pro- testing votes. Falk Objects to Bills After Alderman Johnson had | moved for payment of a printed list | of bills, including election accounts, | Alderman Walter R. Falk addressed | the chair to say: “There are two bills include which are absolutely unfair. ‘There is nething we can do | about them, but I want to voice my | objections, anyway.” The alderman had reference to bills of $42 each sent in by the registrars for revising deputy regis- trars’ books. The cost was appor- tioned on a basis of $7 for each ward. Alderman JFalk originally | planncd to ask the council to refuse | payment, but it developed that ap- | proval by the selectmen is sufficient 1o reqpire payment. Such approval had been given. ! Shortly afterward, a resolution | was introduced by Alderman Bart- | lett and Councilman Warner, re-| questing the corporation counsel to | furnish the next meeting with a statement as to whether city em-| ployes are entitled to receive com- pensation from the city, over and above what is provided in the salary | list; also that the working hours of ciiy employes be defined. The mo- tion was passed. | Franklin Square s Station | Alderman Nair precipitated a long and at times heated debate when he moved to take from the table the | resolution by which it was intended to allow construction of a gasoline | filling station at the corner of | ¥ranklin Square and Pearl street. | The alderman said that present zon- | ing permits construc‘ion of a lunch | room or a dining car, and he point- | ed out that a well constructed gaso- line filling station would be much Of course, you've made the does once in a while.

Judge John H. Kirkham was elected corporation counsel, reenstein were named prosecu‘or nd assistant prosecutor, respectiv. ly., and Walter R. Falk was elected president pro tem. of the council. Standing committees organized at |the joint caucus were formally ap- | proved. Several bills paid by the comp- troller to obtain discounts were read for council proval. Alderman Johnson, chairman of the finance committee, gave his sanction to all but two originating in the police commiasion, and these he ordered held up on the ground that funds in excess of $300 had heen spent without common council consent One was for painting done by Crow- ley Brothers, in the amount of for $306.35, to Hart & Hutchinson, for bhe patd lockers. The alderman made it known he would not vote in favor unless Cor- poration Counsel Kirkham gave his approval. “Do you approve payment,” John- son asked Kirkham. “They're already paid,” the attor- ney answered smilingly.
