Developments followed fast today on the heels of criticism of the school committee on that the committee had disposed of school room desks and “junk” prices.

COUNCIL ACTION ON LOAN RUNS INTO LEGAL STORM; ETING DELAYED ‘Mayor Quigley Discov- ers Three Days’ Notice Must Be Given Before Notes Can Be Offered for Sale By City— Clerks’ Work in Vain. ;Finance Board Approves of $100,000 Issue for Public Works Depart- ment and $150,000 for Sewer System—Welfare Work Cost Up 200 P. C. After the city clerk’s office staff had worked at top speed preparing notices to the members of the com- | mon council for special delivery last night, so as to abide by the charter requirement of 24 hours’' notice for special council meetings, it was dis- covered today that tonight's special session cannot act on the proposed issue of $100,000 street fund notes requires that such issue be advertied three days prior to the meeting. The notices were delivered in time last night but to no avail, and it is necessary to call an- other meeting of the council, which will be held next Monday, Mayor Quigley said. Finance Board O. K.'s Notes The board of finance and taxation, at a special meeting in the mayor's office this noon, voted to recommend notes be issued and that they be paid off at the rate of $20,000 per year for five years. Chairman William H. Judd, who presided, in- formed the board that the $105,000 issue, which was approved by the common council on Sept. 17 had been held to be illegal by a firm of Boston lawyers because the legis- lative act of 1921, under which the 1ssue was made, specified that the ret grand list rather than the gross grand list must be used in estimat- ing the city's bonded indebtedness, and $105,000 would exceed the city's five per cent debt limit. The Boston lawyers, Chairman Judd said, would not commit them- |selves as to the legality of issulng short term notes payable out of tag- ation over a five year perlod, but |the state banking commissioner and the state’s attorney's office inform- ed him that they saw no reason why the issue should not be made, from the legal viewpoint. He added that President E. N. Stanley of the Savings Bank of New Britain s willing to have the bank purchase the notes in_view of the approval of the state banking commissioner. Rescind Action on Issue On recommendation of the chair- man, the board voted on motion of Commissioner Francis C. Kelly to recommend to the common council that the action e rescinded, and then Mayor Quigley informed the board that Assistant Corporation Counsel M. H. Camp had advised him of the requirement for three days’ advertisement of the $100,000 issue and the consequent necessity of holding a council session later.

He did not know what became of it after that. Reis testified also to having seen a “clip” filled with cartridges, sim« from the death gun, lying on a shelf in the cob- bling shop. Efforts by the defense to shake the boy’'s testimony were un- successful. Other witnesses heard today in- cluded Gus Beres, a notary public, who testified to having taken the acknowledgment on the patent as- sigment which has been introduced by the state for the purpose of prov= ing a motive for the slaying, and John Wooley, employed in the city building department, who testified concerning issuance of building per- mits to Russo for two houses on property owned by Chiarello.
