The proposed lifting of the ban against traveling carnivals in New Britain was frowned upon by the ordinance committee of the common couneil last night, a reselution to re- nll ‘the ordinance which prohibits them from playing in New Britain being defcated § to 3. Councilmen ¥. L. Conlon, Joseph Landwehr and W. F. Curtin voted to repeal the or- dinance and Alderman J. Gustave Johnson. Councilmen Joseph Mly- parski. W. 8. Warner, W. 8. Scheuy and C. O. Holt voted not to repeal it. A spirited fight on the insue will take place at the council meeting next Wednesday evening. it was predict. ed about city hall during the eve- ning. Sablotsky Favors Repeal Councilman 8amuel Sablotsky, who s not a member mittee, spoke in favor of lifting the ban on the ground that it would be better to have carnivals. in New PBritain where they could be prop- of the com- | ties, the purpose being to have the carnivals restrocted to some place other than the present grounds. He scored the carnival company playing in Berlin this week for advertising that it was showing at Willow-Brook Park, and remarked with some heat that nore of the opponents of carni- vals in the common council saw fit {10 raise a voice in protest against it. Ministers Oppose Change Rev. A. D. Heininger of the First Congregational church represented of New Britain as opposed to lifting the ban and said he could not see the logic of Councilman Sablotsky's argument to permit a nuisance which exists in Berlin to be trans- terred to New Britain. He said car- nivals destroy the very things for which civic organizations and edu- cational institutions work towards— namely the betterment of the city end community good, and to allow them to play in New Britain simply to bring $75 a day into the city treasury as a license fee would be “selling the morals of our young Mr. Heininger was asked by Counc"mnn Warner whether or not he had observed anything at the carnival which could be construed as morally wrong and contrary to state iaw. He replied that he had not read the state law relative to {the Protestant Ministers' association | NEW BRH.‘AIN DAILY HE’RM.D. FRIDAY.

Benson of the Chamber of Commerce represented the organization as opposed to lift- ing the ban. Councilman F. L. Conlon, one of the signers of the resolution to al- low carnivals to operate in the city, said he would not favor them in New Britain if they were kept farther away from the town line, but as long as they can show next to the park they might better be in the city where proper supervision could be given them. Failed to Shock Landwehr Councilman Landwehr said he visited the carnival and saw noth- ing shocking. He mentioned that churches frequently run affairs where wheels are played, and re- cently the Knights of Columbus conducted an indoor bazaar where there were wheels of chance being played in plain sight. He believed in allowing the people of New Britain to enjoy themselves occa- sionally and for that reason he was in favor of carnivals. Councilman Mlynarski was in favor of leaving the ordinance on the books but he thought Council- man Sablotsky's idea to confer with the Berlin officials a good one. Councilman Warner saw no merit in the suggestion and asserted that the park department should buy the property where the carnival is playing and then it would be con- trolled. The city charter gives the department the right to own and recommend appointing the commit. tee to comfer with the Berlin au- thorities he would bring in such & resolution and fight for it on the council floor. The suggestion that the city buy the property mentioned by Councilman Warner was ridi-|trial. culed by Councilman Sablotsky, who said taxes were sufficiently high already and the city should not buy property which was not needed, “just to help someone out". Alderman Johnson, chairman of the committee, spoke against the carnivals and Councilman Warner said he was surprised that the chair- man of the police board and chief of police were not in attend- ance to oppose carnivals. When the ordinance was adopted a few years ago, the chairman of the police board and the chief favored it on 'account of the difficulty of handling |carnivals, the councilman said. Mr. Benson remarked that the difficuity of policing a public dance hall was one of the outstanding arguments against it in this city. Dry Cleaning Code Discussed The committee hearing on a proposed dry cleaning and dyeing establishmept code and decided to defer action' until the next meeting. Morris Cohn, heavy taxpayer, said he was not in the business affected but he owned pro- perty in which such an establish- ment was located and therefore he was interested. -He objected to 2 provision which would declare a dry cleaning establishment as abandon. ed if not operated for 30 days. He said jt was unfair and unbusiness- like and would work a hardship in held a public] dition caused by.the dry cleaning place on Lincoin streef It was ex- plained that the proposed ordinance will not permit such establishments in any district of the city with the exception of those zoued as indus- It would not affect those ul- ready established, however, and a question arose as to whether or not the place on Lincoln street is ac- tually in operation at present, being in the handv of a receiver. A provision to require applicants for licenses to operate dry-ctleaning and dyeing establishments to pay for newspaper advertisements of the | hearings was discussed and met wlth’!udmoul figure of fame is favor.

Luryea spoke in favor of & resolution to prohibit the sale of fish from vehicles on the city’ streets. They said cenditions under which fish are sold from vehicles are insan- itary. The committes voted to rec- ommend to the council that the matter be acted upon by the board of health.

Objects to Land Purchase Councilman 8ablotsky replied that games of chance but he hoped there was a law prohibiting the games he saw played, and as for the moral irregularities observed on the grounds, if he gauged them accord- ing to the standards ot the “lowest people in New Britain” he would say there were no wrongs, but erly supervised than to have them on the lot adjoining Willow Brook Park in the town of Berlin. where a bad traffic congestion is caused and damage done to the park property. He favored having a committee appointed to represent New Britain in a conference with Berlin authori- cases where business men, on ac- tount of illness, death or because of financial reverses found themselves unable to open their places for thir. ty days. He doubted the legality of such a restriction. John Dunlay oi 464 West Main Covering Asa 109 Payment on Your New Purchase.
