Inquiry Into Laborers Providing Liquor for Foremen Is Ruled Out By Mayor at Meeting of Council Quigley Bangs Gavel and Squelches Ald. Johnson— Public Works Board Called On to Provide Plan for Spending $100,- 000 On Streets. Angered by a resolution presented to the common council last night by Aldermen Johnson and Falk and Councilmen Holmberg and Ohlson requesting the board of public works to ascertain the truth of reports that laborers have been obliged to pro- vide liquor for foremen in order to! retain their jobs, Mayor Quigley speedily ruled it out of order and banged the gavel when Alderman Johnson attempted to speak on the subject. The meeting was one of the live- liest of the Quigley administration, a number of matters coming in for action in the form of resolutions and petitions. Conlon Attacks Johnson Alderman Johnson and others presented a resolution calling on the board of public works to present a budget of streets to be repaired when $100,000 is available through an issue of notes to be voted on at a special council meeting next Mon- day. The resolution also stated that an Inspection of the streets will be made Saturday afternoon and urged that all members take part in order to avail themselves of information of importance before voting on the expenditure of the money. Councilman Frank L. Conlon flayed Alderman Johnson and prais- ed the board of public works, de- claring that the board was deserving of the confidence of the council and politics should be left out of city af- fairs. He charged that the signers of the resolution were prompted by political motives, and Councilman | Samuel Sablotsky charged that it| was an attempt to block Mayoer | Quigley's drive to provide work for the unemployed. The mayor, he said, | was to be congratulated on his ef- forts and should not be hampered. Eddy-Glover boulevard in the sixth ward, is being put in passable con- dition and Alderman Johnson and the other signers of the resolution were attempting to prevent its com- pletion, Councilman Sablotsky said. Falk Denies Charge of Politics Alderman Johnson replied that he would not be so foolish as to at- tempt to leave a street job half fin- ished, and although he had confi- dence in the board of public works he saw no reason why council mem- bers should not be sufficiently inter- ested in their work to make a tour ot ipspection. “Either we can come | up here and be rubber stamps or we | can look into these matters before | we vote to spend the city’s money” | he declared. Alderman Falk sup-| ported him and added that there| was no ground for the charge that politics entered into the matter. The resolution was adopted, as was an- |adjustment has already recommend- other presented by Councilman Gib- ney asking the board of pub‘lc works to inform the council month- ly as to the work done and the con- templated program for the following | month. Councilman Gibney said no | criticism was intended but he felt} that the council and the public works board should work together | and be closer to each other than they have beén. Alderman Johnson presented a resolution to have the seating ar- rangement in the council chamber changed to conform to the layout in the old chamber, and a difference of opinjon was immediately provoked. Councilman Conlon wanted to know i¢ Alderman Johnson was finding it difficult to marshal his forces on the floor because of the present ar- rangement. Alderman Johnson re- plied that some members whose seats were in the rear of the cham- | bLer had complained of inability to | hear what was said in the front rows and he believed the old layout was best. Alderman D. L. Nair moved to table the resolution for one month for consideration and investigation, and Councilman Conlon amended to table it indefinitely. The amend- ment was lost and the motion pre- ‘vailed. Would Correct Salary List Councilman Hanes and Wilford presented a resolution calling on the ordinance and salaries commit- tees to act to correct the condition caused by carrying Deputy Building Inspector Thomas B. Fay and Miss Mae Butler, clerk in the building department office, as temporary em- ploye: The resolution mentioned that Fay's salary, which he receives monthly from the incidental ac. count, was slashed at the opening of the present administration and slightly increased since then, and the signers felt that it was not ad- visable to handle the office in that manner. The resolution was referred as re- quested and when the ordinance and salaries committee consider it, ac- tion may be taken to place the two employes on the regular salary list and pay them out of the salary ap- propriation.

A petition from the Holy €ross Roman Catholic church corporation for rebatement of a sewer assess- ment on Biruta street was referred to the corporation counsel, the mayor and aldermen. The petition- ers set forth that the property is ex- empt from assessments on account of its use for church purposes. Adam Mierzejewski of 148 Farm- ington avenue presented a claim for $3070.90 ‘damage to his property, alleging that the city installed a catch basin but failed to connect it with the storm water sewer, with the result that floods occurred on his property. It was referred to the beard of public works. Buell Street Curbs and Walks Aldermen Falk and Johnson spoke on a petition presented by Buell street residents to have side- walks and curbs installed. The work was ordered done by October 1 and the mafjority of the property owners have complied, the aldermen said. “If the poor man can afford it, the rich man can, too,” Alder- man Johnson asserted. The matter was referred to the board of pubile works. Mrs. Mary Curtin petitioned for a change in zone of property on West Main street between High and Cedar streets and the matter was referred to the board of adjustment to hold a hearing. The section is zoned for residential purposes and the peti- tioner wants it changed to a busi- ness zone. Abraham Kolodney petitioned for a change in zone affecting property at Stanley and Allen streets. It was likewise referred to the board of ad- justment for a hearing. The peti- tioners want the section zoned for business, which aroused strong op- position when attempted some time ago. Alderman Johnson presented a resolution calling on the ordinance committee to hold a hearing on the proposed change in zone of property on West Main street. The board of ed that it be changed to a business zone, on petition of Fred Beloin, owner of property at Sherman Court and West Main street. but surrounding property owners have remonstrated against the proposed use of the property for gasoline fill- ing station purposes. The resolution was adopted and a public hearing will be given shortly. The petition of Paul and Emma Reale for a change of zone to per- mit the use of property at Arch and Monroe streets as a miniature golf course was referred to the board of adjustment for a hearing. ‘Wants Zoning Ordinance Clarified Alderman Nair observed that it was time the zoning ordinance was clarified to state definitely whether the board of adjustment of the ordi- nance committee shall hold hearings on zone changes, and Mayor Quigley agreed that there was room for dis- pute as the ordinance stands. Alder- man Johnson, chairman of the ordi- nance committee, said he had in- tended to have the matter attended to with the assistance of the corpor- ation counsel and he regretted that he had not done so. It will be done, however, prior to the regular meet- ing next month, he said. Alderman Falk, commenting on the quarterly report of Sealer of Weights and Measures Carl A. Carl- | son, expressed the opinion that something should be dons to correct the condition noted from time to time in coal dealers’ weights as re- | corded by the sealer. Mayor Quigley replied that the sealer has the power | to prosecute dealers found giving | short weight. The sealer's report | listed 14 dealers, 13 of whom were giving weights of between 5 and 110 pounds in excess of alnndard. and one was 95 short.

Alderman Falk petitioned for re—‘: pairs at the corner of Cherry and Whiting streets and the matter was| referred to the board of public works.

On motion of Council-| man Conlon, it was ordered prmtedj without reading and will be acled‘ upon at the November meeting. | Columbia Street Refund Discussed | The report of the mayor and aldermen and the corporation coun- sel was adopted as follows: “In the matter of refund of sewer | assessment paid by Arthur E. Mahon | and wife, $80.50 on Lot No. 10, Co- | lumbia street, in May 11, 1929, ve- | ferred to the mayor and board of | aldermen and corporation counsel by | the common council at its August | meeting, 1930, we beg leave to re- port that the city had a lien on the premises improved, which would persist for 60 days from the date of the second notice by publication, and could be continued thereafter by the | tiling of a certificate in the office of | the town clerk. | “The city's lien was an encum- | brance on petitioners' property, tak- ing precedence over all other en-| cumbrances, and the amount of the llen could have been collected by | foreclosure proceedings. Petitioners, however, quite properly paid the| amount of the lien during the 60 day | period, thus obviating the necessity of filing the lien certificate. “The opinion of the corporntlon‘ counsel given in certain cases as t the validity of liens for city im. provements was based solely on | whether the certificate of lien was | filed in proper time. The fact that |y property has changed ownership | before the lien is filed does not in- | validate the city’s right to collect the | assessment out of the land benefited. It this were not so the owner of the | property at the time of the comple- tion of the improvement might, if 5o disposed, transfer his property, conceal and hide his attachable pro- | perty and thus leave the city with- | out redress. The right to ‘assess benefits upon the proper parties or lands especially benefited by the proposed improve- | ment.’ *“We therefore recommend that the common council give the peti- tioners leave to withdraw.” On recommendation of the claims committee and cofporation counsel, it was voted to pay Otta L. Vater of Bassett street $200 in settlement of his claim for compensation for in- juries sustained in a fall on an alleg- | ed fcy sidewalk on Bassett street, in | front of the Erwin home in January.
