From Franklin Square After Fight — Proposed Change in Zone Law Defeated on Roll Call—Psrk for East End —— Climating an argument which ex- coeded the’ common council limita. -tion of five minutes and paved the way ter defeat of a mone law change to permit gasoline filling stations on Franklin Square, Alderman J. Gus- tave Johnson, enlivened last night's eeting by declaring: “I want a roll _call Yote on -this question. I want to ~have it known who has the city's in- terests at heart and who is seeking high poiitical honor. You have heard of the Washington oil scandal for ‘which some are now paying the pen- alty. Is it possible that the oil scan- dal has reached the common council of New Britain?" Alderman Johnson had a prepared speech, which he referred to from time to time, Chided by Alderman David L. Nair, who led a movement to permit a gasoline filling station in preference to a lunch cart, for using ‘a prepared speech instead of coming in and. speaking his mind freely, the alderman answered: “I prepared a.speech because I the speech I wrote isn't the same-as the one I gave.” Easy to Rain N It was one of the few instances in which a report ‘of the board of adjustment was not accepted. The matter was just reached when Alder- man Johnson took the floor to say: “I am opposed to this change. The people who are members of the sev- eral churches in that neighborhood have contributed and built churches, and the city has a beautiful park nearby. It is more costly and takes more time to beautify a district than t does to ruj” it. A building that Goes not beautify a district spolls it, and it's a whole lot easier to put it in that it is to take it out. “We have enough gasoline filling stations now. For seven years, the people of these churches and the property owners have been protest- ing, and still we are trying to push | it over. The bill was vetoed by a ' former mayor who had the city's in- terests at heart and who wanted to beautify the district. There were only two at the meeting who favored al- o lowing a gasoline filling station on Franklin Square, one was the attor- ney and the other represented the Knights of Columbus.” “Gag Rule” Lifted Demands by Councilman Frank L. Conlon and Willlam D. Boyle at this point, that the “gag rule” be involied eince Johnson had already exceeded the five minutes’ limit, brought from Johnson a request that he be allow- «d to continue for one-half a minute. Permitted to do so, he concluded his talk with a demand for a roll call e and mentioned the oil scandal at Washington, “What is so beautiful about the eorner now 2" Councilman Charles O. Holt of the second ward asked. The councilman had reference to the northeast corner of Franklin S8quare . and Pearl street, the plot on which the Standard Oil Co. would have built a station had the ordinance change been adopted. Although this interrogation was considered as evi- dence of Holt's sentiments for a | change, he voted against it when the roll was called. | Further opposition was voiced by ‘Alderman Walter R. Falk of the sec- ond ward. He said that there are three stations nearby, and inquired whether it makes a difference who is looking for the right to sell gaso- line, or if it is the intention of the council to treat all alike. Nair Rebukes Johnson Alderman Nair, against whom many of the 'Johnson shafts were directed, faced the fourth ward al derman during the entire time of his Pebuttal, in which he said: “I don’t think much of the idea ©of coming in here with a prepared speech. Why doesn’'t the alderman come in and speak his mind freely? I believe it is better for the city to have a beautiful gasoline station on 1 this corner than it is to have a dirty lunch cart.-The alderman can’t cram this_thing down my. throat or scare me into voting his way with a long prepared speech. He is taking this matter altogether too seriously and | attempting to make it a personal issue. It looks like class legislation to me. We passed the zoning act New Spring Another colorful styled in Cardina to beautify the city and we have & board of adjustment composed of men of high calibre, Judge Cooper, Judge Gaffney, 8. M. Davidson and others. - It they are willing to have flu change ‘made, then I certainly Caulcllluu John E. Holmberg took ' Alderman Johnson's side of the argument and. refuted the claim that it is & personal measure. The councilman ‘said he has talked with ministers, church members and property owners and the sentiment is opposed. For the cldimed reasons that the’| station would be too near church buildings, would increase traffic hazards and would detract from the beauty of the district, Councilman Joseph L. Miynarski. of the ffth ward registered opposition. Calls Lunch Cart Camoufiage Councilman Walter J. Nelson ex- presséd a belief that the talk of placing & lunch cart on the site is nothing but camoufiage and that no such business will be established. He urged that the proposed change in the sone law be defeated. /When the roll was called, Mayor Paonessa exercised his option and did not vote. Alderman Pajewski sought to be relieved from voting, but was prevailed upon to register his sentiment and he voted to accept the change. When Councilman Boyle was he said, with a-fiote of “I want to be excused from sorry, but you must vote,” Councilman Samuel Sablotsky, the presiding officer, answered. Boyle replied: “I want to be ex- cused under the rules of the com- mon council.” ‘The rule was read, disclosing that a member may be excused it he has an interest in the matter under dis- cussion, or it excused ky the coun- cil. “T can’t say I have an interest in the matter, but I am not as fully in- formed as I should be before I vote. Now go ahead and make me vote if you want to,” Boyle challenged. Boyle Forced to Vote ‘The council voted to require him to go on record, and he favored re- jecting the change. ‘Those who favored changing the zone to permit gasoline filling sta- tions were: Aldermen Nair, Bart- lett and Pajewski; Councilmen Hu- ber, Hanes, Wilford, Parker, Curtin, Warner, Macora, Greene, Conlon and Sablotsky. Favoring rejection of the adjust. ment board’s recommendation were: Aldermen Falk and Johnson; Coun- cilmen Whitman, Scheuy, Ziegler, Holmberg, Goddard, Molander, Wil- limetz, Nelson, Landwehr, Mlynarski, Abrahamson and Boyle. Although opponents of the meas- ure outnumbered those who favored by a narrow margin of two votes, the result was not as close as appeared, since a two thirds vote is required to change the zoning law. Riley Case Goes Back Again The board of adjustment failed a second time to receive a vote of con- fidence from the commeon council when Councilman George A. Mo- lander was supported in his move to have referred back a report re- fusing George J. Riley's application for a change of zone on Carlton street. Riley. wishes to extend his business building into the portion of his plot which is zoned for resi- dence uses. Councilman Molander argued it is unfair to cut & man's property into two zones, and asked that reconsideration be given. Alderman Johnson agreed. Alder- man Bartlett expressed a belief that RELIEF FROM CURSE OF CONSTIPATION A Battle Creek physician says, ‘Constipation is responsible for more misery than any other cause.” But immediate reliet has been found. A tablet called Rexall Or- derlies has, been discovered. Thi: tablet attracts water from the sya- tem into the lazy, dry, evacuating bowel called the colon.

A recommendation of the ordi- committee . to - permit two stores to be operated in three tene- ment frame buildings, went back to that committee for a public hearing. ‘The present ordinance permits one. ‘Alderman Johnson made the motion. He remarked that five or six cases are now pending and that decision should not be made without thor- ough consideration. Alderman Falk favored. the change. He belittled the claim that the amended ordinance would cre- ate a fire hazard, pointing out that the requirements for fireproofing stores lessen rather than aggrevate the fire danger. Idmit on Boulevard Street Alderman Johnson's move .to per- mit the police board to try out the boulevard system on West Main street, only, instead of on such streets as the board might see ft, was supported by the council. In the course of the discussion, Chairman Michael W. Bannan of the police board brought out the fact that a new state law, effective July 1, puts control of this question entirely in the hands of the police board. ‘When the police board's recom- mendation that Chief William C. Hart be permitted to attend the con- vention of chiefs at Atlanta, Ga., at a cost of not more than $300, was vead, Alderman Johnson moved adoption, Other members signalled him that Alderman Pajewski wished to make the motion and Johngen im- mediately withdrew his motion. Pa- Jjewski then took the floor, and mov- ed adoption of the recommeridation, which passed by unanimous vote. Pajewski was the defendant in a libel suit brought by Chief Hart, one of the charges being that Pajewski declared he would send the chief to Atlanta. After a verdict had been given for the chief, Pajewski was elected to the common council. A communication was received from 8ister Philomena, mother superior of the order of Mary the Immaculat, asking that interest on a sewer asscssment against the Po- lish farm, orphanage and home for the aged, be abated, and that these institutions be required to pay no more than the principal, $3,428.25, The petition explained that these in- stitutions are supported by volun- tary contributions and that payment of interest charges would work a hardship. Monroe Strect Situation ‘The board of public works asked lh.l of the Monros street district. | ferred to the ordinance'committee. Barnesdale common. council then voted to mn one month for study of the sanitary sewerage plan on which the board expresssd a desire to pro- ceed. Alderman Johnson also argued for a month to consider the need of the department for two additional cara, but upon being informed that the present equipment is in need of immediate replacement he agreed, and the council voted the board per- mission to buy. A public hearing was ordered on the, petition of I. Koplowits and others that the sale of fish from-ve- hicles be prohibited. The hearing will be given by the ordinance com- mittee, The garage commission asked per- miasion to increase the salary of its clerk, Walter L. Bell, from $250 to $350 yei The petition went to the salary committee for hearing. Park for East End When Alderman Johnson moved that a committee of three members be appointed to bring about the es- tablishment of a park in the eastern section of the city, Alderman Nair, who & few minutes previously had been in a warm dispute with John- son over the Franklin square matter, Jokingly remarke “You knew that mayor's message, you brought it in.” Johnson's only reply was: “I'm glad to see the mayor's mind and ::-lne are working along the same n Alderman Bartlett moved that a committee be named to determine the city’s coal needs and prepare contracts, The alderman had been chairman of similar committees for several years. Check- up on Gasoline Bills On motion ot Councilman Boyle, the board of aldermen was requested to study into the practice, by city employes, of using privately owned automobiles and billing the city for their use, and report whether, in the board's opinion, it is advisable to continue this practice or purchase automobiles. The councilman also moved that the ordinance committce consider Whether it is advisable to revoke its ban on carnivals, an ordinan adopted after several years of agita- tion. Councilman Boyle, explaining his motion, said carnivals noW play at the city line on Berlin road, and Willow Brook park suffers damage, the city receiving nothing in fees. By vote of the council, Joseph W. Roche was rec-appointed clerk of committees for a period of one year, The proposed ordinance to require that all gas heaters be piped into was in the Gus, that's why and was granted er:e month more | flues was taken from the table on for atudy of the storm water con- | motion of Alderman Johnson and re- A Special Offer For a Limited Time 13 ounce size A 63c value.

Councilman Samuel 8ablotsky, who introduced the resolution which resulted in introduction of the re- port, complimented the board, and moved that the report be referred and the recommendation adopted. At the suggestion of other council members he withdrew the latter part of his motion and the council took no action other than to forward the report to the finance board.
