QUIGLEY WONDERS [FRIVAL S ‘Ll][}l]’ Hall Says at Same Rally Taxes| Gaonot Be Reduced | ‘Atterney P. F. McDonough, dem-| Ocratic nominece fér mayor, Wwas| roundly denounced by his republi- | can opponent, George A. Quigley| and a large group of speakers at o rally held at Norden bungalow las night. Among those who spoke on behalf of the republican candidate were his oppenent at the primary, Donald L.| Bartlett, Prosecuting Attorney Jo- seph G. Woods, Attorney Michael Sexten, Chairman Harry Ginsburg of the republican town committee, Attorney David L. Nair, George V. Hamlin, Harry Witkin, Councilman ‘William Huber and Willlam H. Day. | Quigley said he had hoped th campaign would be elean and clear- ly defined, that there would be no mud-slinging, but he has found it| has not been so. He said Bartleit and himself had conducted a clean primary fight. He lauded the defeated candidate with the statement that whether| Bartlett considers himself a good sport he was one. Quigley said he has never seen the good will of the party back of the candidate as it is back ef him. He said the republi- can party will win on April S. It was Quigley's opinion that th. party does not want the which has been in power left office. Speaks of Debt Increase “It taek 50 vears until 1920 to gain an indebtedness of $3.000,000 and nine years since that time the debt has increased £4.000,000, regime since he ifg the most extrav T tqry of the city but they one-tenth as extravagant stories he is telling.” He gaid he knew McDonough wa a.man who had been successful in a*financial way and that he expect- ed something different from the type | of campaign McDonough is con- ducting. Continuing he said “It's astounding and amazing.| ‘When I pick up the papers and read | his apeeches T ask, ‘Has this man gone loco? He sald my ccessor | in office spent one-half million in appropriations to cover indebtedness | incurred during by tenure of office. Ttlooked in all the records I could| fihd and I cannot discover where this is printed. +"Maybe after an exhausting day of handshaking he goes home that night, has a nightmare and drear 1hese things.” - #Mr. Quigley asked why it McDonough does not say what he 8 dene, will do or hopes to do. +“Mac thinks I am on the witn stand and he is prosecuting attorney T" don't regard him as a prosecut- iag attorney nor myself as a crim- Inal. He must wage a sane. honest fight er New Britain will have none him. The boys call it hokum and the democratic campaigm has been afwhole lot of hokum.” Cannot Reduce Tax Rate 90 P. C. of Taxes Paid in Wages inance Board Chairman Edward ¥ Hall assured the gathering that reduction in the amount of income necessary to run the city was 1M pos- stble unless the personnel of the po- | lice, fire and school faculties is re duced or their wages cut. *Mr. Hall saig 90 per cent of the lMll income is/paid for wages. “He said he was anxious to get the | evening paper o that e will learn | what Mac said about “Quig” and What “Quig” said about Mac, gardless of whether Quigley or.

The amount will increase as long as the Topulation increases, Hall said. The | population of the town is spreading 19 Plainville, Newington and Berlin bgrder lines, in the opinion of Mr Hall, who said these increases will make necessary additional roads swers, water works and additional pelice and fire protection.

The speaker dwelt on the criticism of the municipal potato crop. H said he got a lame back trying to cooperats quest for truck gardens to help sup- ply food. He said the ice house cost him $1.60 and he felt much more than that in the tion of ice prices. Both of these plans augurated by Quigley because he had the interest of the city at heart, Hall said.

Curtis, de- | ceasea comptroller, was a democrat. According to lectman Witkin the democratic standard bearer had nothing to bring out except the ice house and the frozen potatoes. The ice house was built Joseph M. Halloran, a democrat, Mr. aid. Quigley’s Character Lauded Thure Bengtson, who acted chairman, introduced Attorney Woods as the “silver haired, golden voiced orator.” Woods occupies the same law office with McDonough for several by as vears. e speaker lauded Quigley ful custodian of the people’s “He tried to do certain and was successful in lht.

There were two rallies last night, lone at Lithuanian hall and one at | Norden bungalow. Candidates who werc speaking at the Lithuanian hall vice versa. The last of the speakers | Mr. Bengston had was Alderman | David L. r who was instructed to zet up and talk until some of the other candidates arrived. He start- cd at exactly 9:31 o'clock and kept |on talking. He spoke of the com- | mon council, “Don” Bartlett, he told stories, referred to this one and that of the candidates arrived. Finally at 9:43 o'clock Chairman Ginsburg and Attorncy Sexton arrived. | Allec Interrupts Alderman Nair had been talking | for some time when he said he felt |as if he were in the common council. “Ovyer there is Mr. Allee, he's al- ways at our common council meet- ing “Cut that out.

He said he was finally able to find out what the democratic candidate's record was. Attorncy Sexton named them as follows:+ “Youngest com- | missioner,” qualification number 1; closely connected with city govern- ment for quarter of a century, “He | said he | long because members serve without a fee. He was on the board of com- pensation and assessment which | pays $200 annually. He was a mem- ber for 20 years and has received | $4,000 for his services.” | Speaking on the | question Sexton referred to Donough's remark: “I'll start with myself when I rcassess the erty.” “McDonough. George LeWitt and William Farley arc owners of prop- crty across from the Burritt hotel where a gas station now: stands. They hought that for $52.000 but it is d for $16.500." he said, | Continuing Sexton declared “We are led to believe that prop- | arty is assessed for 75 per of |its value. This property asscssed for about $60.000. | bill was $450 and it been $1,700. “Has McDonough become ron- science-stricken all of a sudden?” At this point Mr. Allee interrupt- ed with the question: | “Was it McDonough's fault | he has a low assessment?” | *I don't say it is McDonoush's cent Their intend to | was on the board of health | |but I do not think he stayed there | one in the audience and still none | “T am not | to be dictated to as to what | I am used to| be | | | | reassessment | Me- | prop- I should be | should have | (h:lt1 went to the bungalow to speak and |the crowd when Continuing the speaker teld of LeWitt's property on Washington street where the O'Neil Tire and Battery store is located. There was an agreement he said, that the prop- erty would not be sold for less than $ 00, it was sold for $52,000. He said LeWitt was assesed for $19,000. Again the speaker was interrupted by Allec who asked if Attorney Sex- ton was blaming LeWitt. Sexton brought a laughter from he said the ice house was built during the adminis- tration of Joseph M. Halloran by a common council committee of which Mayor Paonessa was a member and by a Edward Hennessy, all demo- crats. Sexton said he did not think the democrats would be rash enough to claim that the cows died of tuber- culous because Quigley built a new | barn for them. He said the potato venture was not a success, that was admitted, but iike Quigley he blamed it on an act of God and “Friend Curtis.” He said Curtis had “dug up an ordinance which prevented the city from sclling property without the pprovai ' of the common council. While they were arguing the law on the case, the potatoes froze in the cellars and store rooms and had to be shoveled out.” Bartlett spoke briefly and asked all who voted for him to cast their vote for Quigley. conten- | that most of the work in the | first ward was done by the republi- | although there was a demo- | fault but T am giving this to show | | the gross inequality of assessment,” the lawyer replicd.
