He | complifented the gathering on the work it is undertaking, but warned that the success of the association will be measured by its willingness to carry on its work unselfishly and with the idea of benefiting the en- the story of his attemptsto be heard before the common council and of that body's refusal to listen to his arguments, and of how two civic ® clubs gave him the privilege of the floor to state his case. Until a systemn is devised for the #eparation of trade wastes fromn domestic sewage, no sewer beds will be successful, he warned. An ordinary septic tank will dispose of domestic sewage, as residents of small farming communities have found, but when the acids from factories, the oils from garages and the soaps and lye from laundries are thrown into the same system, ! issuance of the bonds. He related tive disposal is imposible, according to the ex-mayor. . “But, of course, if you are not go- +ing to be particular whom you send « “let elections go by without voting, it's your own fault. Go to your councilman, find out what he knows about sewerage and this bond issue, and if you find that he doesn't know about it, kick him out!” the speaker urged. Criticises Water Board Plan The plan of the water board to develop ‘a filtration plant on the Schultz farm near Shuttle Meadow ‘lake, was also criticized. The place rear the source of the water, where increas2d pressure can be developed, Quigley fnsisted using the Isracl Putnam school fire with the weak pressure found at that time as an argument ;’Mnort hip claim.

Mr. Rackliffe also warned |against criticism that is not con- structive, reminding how casy it is to condemn. | History of Tax Rate | Tracing the increase in taxes, the former mayor said the taxrate 10 years ago was 21 mills and today it |is 28 mills, while the grand list has increased in that period from $54,- 000,000 to $114,0600,000, | *“I have told Mr. Linder over in city hall that the grand list must be reduced by several millions, because the value is not there” he said. “I {have been in the real estate busi- , {ness for 30 years, but I haven't ad- they destroy the bacteria and effec- | sed anyone to buy a home in sev- eral years.

Indications were that the boys ware playing with their toy boats when the alligator put in an appearance, Golfers responding to the screams of a 4 year old brother of the hoys, retrieved the hodies of the two, and found the gator in the hazard. The four year old, told an in- coherent story to his father, Jeff Gold, a St. Petersburg visitor. Apparently, the big reptile had pulled John Freedy into the water, and Norman had gone to his rescue, and the three fought it out for several minutes beifore the boys succumbed. The younger brother had watched spellbound until the fight was over, his story indicated, and then had run for help, who understand the city government and work for the people. Only in this way, with the cooperation of all the people, the Citizer's Property Own- ers’ association will be a recognized and influential body, he added. Chairman Smolak was the con- cluding speaker of the evening. He stated that a cut in the fax rate was | inevitable. At least 5,000 people must become members of the Citizens® Property Owners' association, he said. The association will sponsor a pic- nic July 4 at the amusement grounds on Farmington avenue, Proceeds will g0 to cover the expense of the asso- | ciation, (GERMANY MOURNS TREATY SIGNING (Continued From First Page) day and prevented prolongation of the defense of the republic act, re-| quested by the government. The defeat will make it legal for for- mer Kaiser Wilhelm to return to Germany at expiration of the pres- ent act July 22. Papers in Mourning German newspapers appeared with borders of heavy black mourn- ing and one Berlin organ, Der Tag, surrounded scenes from Danzig, Posen, Kattowitz and Strassbourg with borders of chains. A huge sky sign in the west end of Berlin ad- 4 ‘nn:dm "’Ihc-i-lidhhn. more to preve our leadership wcueln—d-nmr .| festation of German offer is MM wd!". lthmdlmb jured German citizens to unite in repudiation of the “war guilt lie.” There was a tenseness in the situation which led the government to request that its functionaries, high and low, refrain from joining in the public demonstrations, the authorities fearing unpleasant con- sequences. President Von Hinden- burg himself refused numerous in- vitations to preside at meetings where the “shameful treaty” was to be held up to obloquy. Mueller Writes Article Chancellor Mueller, however, contributed an article to today’s Vossiche Zeitung relating his ex- periences as one of Germany's sig- | natories to the treaty. He said the moments of signing were the most terrible of his life. A great outdoor demonstration was planned for the Berlin stadium at 7:30 p. m., when the Reichstag ’\\'ill open its doors to a joint mani- patriotic so- cieties. One of these, the Kyffheuser Bund, containing 3,000,000 mem- bers and claiming to be the great- est association of ex-service men in the world, called on the govern- ment to have the confession of war guilt in article 231 of the treaty eliminated, thereby paving the way for real reconciliation of the peo- ples. Church Rells Tolled Church bells tolling at 3 p. . were the churches' reminders of the day of mourning. Even this demon- stration, however, was eliminated in the Rhineland, where the con- sistory decided to abandon the church program also after hearing of the Rhineland commission’s prohibition. Afterward the Co- blenz authoritics consented to ghe church celebrations but it was too late for reinstatemdnt of the pro- gram. There was a double coincidence in the date which was little stress- ed, it being also the 15th anniver- sary of the assassination of the Austrian archduke, Ferdinand, at Sarajevo, the spark which set off the FKuropean powder keg and brought on the world war. Although the legal obstacles to return of the former German kaiser from Doorn, Holland, will auto- matically disappear July 22 with expiration of the present defense of the republic act, there was no indication that the government's defeat in the Reichstag presaged | an event of that kind.

Revived in the hearing being con- ducted by the senate finance sub- committee assigned to consider that schedule, after arousing considerable discussion on the house side of the capitol, while the tariff bill was un- der consideration there, the proposal has brought from President Hoover the. first formal statement he has made on any specific part of the re- vision legislation, “The president has had sliding | scales of sugar duties submitted to him by members of the committees,” the statement said. “The object of these was to protect the consumer as well as the producers. He has not expressed himself on them, but of | course would be glad to see any ar- i rangement which would effect the dual purpose.” OUT OF TOW ARRIAGES Return certificates have been filed at the office of the town clerk in the following marriages perform- | ed out of the city: Harold R.
