COUNCILNEN (LASH OVER BLEAD CASE Strict Law Interpretation and Seatiment Feature Discussion Two members of the common council were charged by a third with “partial negligence™ after they had admitted at last night's meet- ing that they had voted for a report in which they did not have com- plete confidence. Councilman William D. Boyle of the sixth ward hurled the accusa- tion at Councilman H. Stuart Hanes of the first and Councilman John E. Holmberg of the second wards, The discussion, which consumed more than half an hour of the two hours in which the councilmen swai- tered in shirt-sleeves, had to Jo with Mayor Paonessa's plea in be- half of Mrs. Eugene Bleau of Mon- roe street, who was made ill by =s- caping gas and whose claims against the city had twice been re- Jjected. The mayor urged that fur- ther consideration be given the case, opening the discussion. Councilman Hanes agreed with the mayor that something should be done for the petitioner. Hg said he would not have voted, as a claims committeeman, to make a recom- mendation that the ¢laim be reject- ed but that he was not at the meet- ing. Councilman Holmberg made similar observations on the case, favoring some compensation, These remarks moved Councilman Boyle to ask that the matter be ro- ferred back to the claims committes. “One of the things I can't under- stand,” Boyle commented, “is how any man can sit here and vote for a report such as this when he rcc- ognizes there {s a moral responsibil- ity. I charge Councilmen Hanes and Holmberg with partial negligence in this case! Council members should- n't be afraid to get up and express their convictions. We're here to do business, Let's vote with some shade of intelligence!” Mayor Disappointed In his introductory remarks, the mayor said he was surprised and disappointed that the claims com- mittee did not see fit to make some allowance to Mrs. Bleau, even though it be but one-half the amount requested. He related the history of the claim, which was the result of a broken gas line on Monroe street, the damage being done while a con- tractor, bonded to the city, was exa- cuting some work. Admitting the likelihood that there was no leg:l liability, the mayor urged that the moral responsibility of the city ne recognized. Councilman Clesson W. Parker, chairman of the claims committee, defended his committee’s action, H2 said the recommendation was made after several hours consideration and was based on the advice of the corporation counsel that there is no liability on the city's part. Councilman. Frank L. Conlon, also & member of the claims committee, did not favor referring the question back unless a definite recommenda- tion be made by the common coun- cil. He sald that the committee 18 limited to consideration of legal claims and cannot give away the taxpayers' money without proof of liability. Sentiment cannot govera the action of this group ot councti members and if it could the father of a family of 15 children, claimaut for damages resulting from injury to his son by a police motorcycle, should also be considered, the coun- cilman pointed out. Mayor Hints at Negligence Again taking the floor, the mayor hinted there was negligence on the part of a former city employe. Ha said Mrs. Bleau reported her illncss to him in its early stages and that he forwarded the complaint to a city department. The mayor left office shortly thereafter and when he next saw Mrs. Bleau he learned she had received nothing and that the time limit for suing in court had expired, leaving her without remedy. “B»- cause wi ave the upper hand and can sa ou cannot collect, there- fore we will not pay.’ are we justi- fied in doing so?" the mayor de- manded to know. After Councilman Boyle had asked Corporation Counsel Kirkham to give a “yes or no” answer on wheth- er there was actual liability on the city’s part in the Commonwealth avenue flood cases, settled last night with cash payments, and the legal adviser admitted there was a ques- tion, Councilman Boyle remarked: “Well, if there’s a question in that case, there might be in this; it should be studied.” Councilman William W. Greene ended the discussion with a motion to table the case one month, the council then to receive a report from | appears. the mayor, recommending such ac- tion as his investigation may find warranted. This arrangement was satistactory to all concerned. Bell Gets $100 Increase Members of the council who op- |posed grant of an increase of $100 {in salary to Clerk Walter L. Bell of {the municipal garage commiksion were in the minority, and the report of the salary committee, as outlined by Alderman Peter J. Pajewski, chairman, was adopted. The city charter required all salary considerations to be made at the De- cember meeting, uniess there is & vacancy or an emergency. Alder- man Nair and others objected on this ground, but Alderman Pajewsil said that the charter requirement had been considered and ignored ve- cause of unusual conditions. Tho present chairman of the garage com- mission was not in office last De- cember and no effort was made to get an increase for Bell. When the present head of the board considered the work being done, he urged the increase and his report to the samary committee was convincing, it was explained. Gas Heater Flue Law Tabled After brief discussion, an ordi- nance to require all gas heaters to be piped into flues was tabled. Dis- cussion centered on the question of whether heaters now in use should be included, Alderman Johnson, chairman of the ordinance commit- tee opposing. Referring to the draft of the ordinance as ‘“slipshod,” Councilman Boyle moved to table and it was so voted. The fight forecast on the move- ment to permit carnivals to play in this city did not materialize. Al- derman Johnson moved to adopt che negative vote of the ordinance com- mittee, and an almost unanimous vote resulted. Many Resolutions On Dumps Lengthy, and at times amusing discussion, canie on the report of the committee on dumps. On motion of Councilman Samuel Sablotsky, a rec- ommendation to permit dumping be- tween 6 apd 8 o'clock went to the ordinance committee; a proposal to cloge all but four dumps went to the public works and health boards; a request for $3.000 for proper care of the grounds, and a recommendation for an incinerator went to the finance board. Councilman W. 8. Warner oppos- ed acceptance, without further study of the public works department re- commendations to combat the Mon- roe strect storm water overflow, a program involving heavy expend- iture, Similar views were expressed by Councilman F. Willlam Huber, and on the metion of Councilman Warner, it was voted to table for one month and have further study given by a committee of five coun- cil m bers. t Main Street Extension Alderman Johnson sponsored & movement to extend KEast Main street to Washington street, explain- ing that the work must be done soon if it is ever to be accomplished. The city plan commission will receive his suggestion. Echoes of the Senior High school addition dispute, heard at almost every meeting of the council for the past year, entered into discussion of the protest by fifth warders, against the ahsence of sidewzlks in front of the Benjamin Franklin school. En- gineer P. A. Merian had explained the absence of an order to the school hoard after private property owners had been required to install walks, by saying that the board was with. out funds. “They can spend a half-million dollars for a high school addition, and 1 guess they can spend a few Lundred for sidewalks,” Councilman Joseph Mlynareki commented. On motion of Alderman Pajewskd, the school committee will be allow- ed until September 1 to do the work. Attorney Harry Ginsburg, counsel Aching, - Swollen Feet Money Back, Says Fair Drug Dept.

Y., June 20 (UP)—Paolino Uzcudun, who meets Max S8chmeling in New York one week from tonight, was nearly ready for the bout teday. Paolino weighed 190 yesterday, the weight he hopes to carry into the ring, and it is un- likely that he will work too strenu- ously during the final week for fear of going over the edge. Tony Canaoneri, former feather- weight champion who visited the Hasque here yesterday, said he con- | sidered Paolino almost too near the | edge and thinks the Spaniard may | find it difficult to keep in the best | of condition. Lakewood. N. J., June 20 (UP)— Max Schmeling's newly acquired left jab continued to attract the atten- tion of the experts who visit the| German in his training camp here. Marty Gallagher, who worked with | Jack Dempsey several years ago,| donned the gloves with the German yesterday and was surprised at the effectiveness of Max's left hand punch. At the end of the session Galla- gher declared he never faced a bet- ter hitter and indicated his belief that Schmeling would outbox as well as outhit Paolino Uzcudun when they meet in New York.
