There was a ‘meeting of the court of common council on Monday evening called by Mayor Lippitt for the purpose of taking astion on the death of Corporation Counsel Frank T. Brown. ’lhe meeting was called to order by Mayor Lippitt, with Aldermen Lillibridge, Potfer and ' Steison, and Councilmen Gebrath, Sullivan, Black- ledge and Hopkins in attendance. The reading of the journal was omitted, and Mayor Lippitt, after explaining that it was an emergency meeting, spoke of the death of Mr. Brown, which occurred late Saturday night, saylng that in his passing from the scene of his labors the eity of Nor- wich, as well as larger interests, has suffered irrevocable loss, and many, like myself, have lost a warm personai friend.” The mayor said he did mot know that a corporation counsel had ever been removed by death during the term of office before, but it is fitting that special notice ba taken of it, and he suggested a memorial. Similar ac tion had been taken by the Bar asso- ciation and will be done by other bod. ies. He submitted the following me. morial, which was adopted and order~ ed printed in the journal: The r announced the decease on evening last of Hon. Frank T. Brown, and it was the unan- tmous desire that this cowrt of com- mon council have printed in the jour- nal of t d ‘a copy thereof sent to the family of the deceased, their expression of regard and personal be- reavement. His long experience as | corporation counsel, his knowledge of the general law, as well as the charter nd ordinances of the and his un- erring judgment rendered his services of almost incalculable value—and his erful promptness and efficiency as I as his unfalling courtesy endeared m to ail of us. We commend as worthy of imitation his unswerving integrity of character and devotion to principle, his abhor- rence of ;mytblng questionable in life and practice, his admiration for all that is honorable and upright. His | successful life, _achieved entirely through his own efforts, the many hon- orable positions he occupied and the universal affection and estesm mani- fested for him in city, town and state | should be an inspiration to every | thoughtful man. His love for home, which caused him to refuse eonsidera- tion of political and soclal office, and | referment, mark him as a man of most rare and estimable character. We rejoice that it was our privilege to be assoclated with him and we ten- der our heartfelt sympathy to his stricken family, with the assurance of our personal grief. We will attend the funeral in 2 body, and will cause the clty flag to be dis- played at half-mast as a last tribute of respect and regard for our assoclate and friend. It was voted to attend the funml} in carriages and also to go to the cem- | etery, and the clerk way instructed to | make the arrangements for the car- riages, and also to procure a floral | form for the council. The members will assemble at the City hall at 2 o'clock. | That concluded the business of the | meeting, and adjournmerit was taken | after being In session about twenty minutes. COUNTY BAR MEETING.

The Hartford Courant has the fol- lowing: Frank T. Brown of Norwich &ed at his home Saturday evening. Many even of his All e friends were unaware that he was sizk. A sharp attack of pneu- monta. put -out his 1ife In & fow ays, It ail comes with the suddenness of an accident which has swept out of the activities of the state one of s most prominent and busiest citizens. Frank Erown was beyond question the foremost lawyer In the state east of the Connecticut river and ome of the leaders of the Conneaticut bar. }e had twice declined 2 position on the superior court beneh-—one offer co ing only rezently from Gevernor Lill He refused to take the nomination for congress when the Third i al- ly settled upon Mr. Higgins, He re- fused repeatedly to have his name mentioned in connection with the grv ernorship. Preferment of that sort was not to his . hut he was con- tinuously at the benefit of the &tate. as witne s labors in the constitutional convention, where stocd among the 'eaders, his rffort the commission on direct | and the corrupt practices a he | wkere he has been 2 member ever sin-c the beard was created. He was industrious, keen, straight- forward snd tactful. He fought his legal battles hard and usually {o suc- cess but whan he won cases e did not lose friends. FHe was person: poputr, as he deserved (o be, and (e news of his death will affiict a wide | circle. He was never busier than of late, and his plans looked far ahead into the future. No one who knew him imegined any guch thing as death when thinking of him; he was all life and activity. His going out is not only & private grief but a state calamity. Regarding Frank T. Brown, the New | Haven Journal and Courler has’ the | following tribute: The grim reaper continues his work in the traditional spirit of indiscrimina- tlon. One of his late victims is none | other than a comparatively young miu who has Auring the past tem years taken a distinguished plage amid the activities of Connecticwt, Frank T. Brown of Norwich. But a few days ago he was in the very zenith of his powers. today he is @ memory. Mr. Browrn became & state figure as a resuit of his services in the constitu- | tlonal convention.

He could have succeeded Mr. Brandegee in congress had he ciaosen to do so. Office holding was not, however, to his Jiking and he continued to puctlce his profession.

COUNCIL AIIBPTS A MEMORIAL should be _deltvered Will Attend the Funeral of Frank T. Brown in a Body o it as will the Bar Association—Loss Felt Throughout | of Main an? Shetucket streete by J. B. ‘The Hartford Times sa ¥renk T. Brown of Norwich had the gift of clear and compact statement. He could state a complex proposition 20 lucidly that the mere statement wus an impressive argument. Tlus, gift of luminous expression—the product of a trained mind and of systematic of thought—was one source of his great power at the bar and in civic life. He grespea fundamental principies. Passicnately fond of the law, he rep~ resented the Dest tions of the Connegticut bar. He scorned petty tricks which might win a tes advantage, and he had no use for the cynical theory that the exercise of con- science is inconsistent with the prac- tice of law. Mr. Brown's greatest tri- umphs at the bar weren't achieved in the center of the limelight. He never sought to command tne applause or listening multitudes. As an adviser connection with cases involving grem Interests and complicated features av was masterly. He could brush away the cobwebs and non-essentials and go straight and unerringly to the vital issues. But he was something more than a stinguished citizen, He took a positive interest in the welfare of the community and the state, and he was never too busy to serve. Ho avolded rather than spught office and publicity, but he was always ready to lend a hand. In him were the impulses of civic patriotism. Positive in his coavictions, he had a faculty for convincing others. Open, frank and aboveboard, he miade and held friends. for double dealing he operate¢ on thé theory that the shortest ddstance be- tween two given points is a straight line. Mr. Brown's death, at a time when yeurs of expanding usefuln Huence appeared to be his, loss upon Connecticut. ‘The New Haven Leader say That awful disease, pneumon again taken from Connecticut one of her choicest flowers of strong man- hood. Mr, Brown was the ablest attorney of eastern Connecticut and one of the blest the state or New England He was in the very prime of mental and physical strength. He was a tower of strength in 1 profession, in the civic lite of Nor- wich and Connecticut. High official honors might have heen his had he seen fit to accept them. Twice he was offered a judgeship o the superior court, declining becalise his private practice was' so large that he did not feel justified in _making the financial sacrifice necessary to assume udicial position. e could have been elected to con- gress had he consented to accept the nomination. He could have held many | other offices, but he preferred to de< vote himself to his profession, and no lawyer of the state had bigger retain- ers or more important cases. He represented some of the biggest and richest corporations in the state. He had a princely income and the highest confidence of bench and bar, his fellow citizens and all who knew him. A week ago he seemed one of the most fortunate and happy men of the state—today he lles cold in death, and those who survive are wondering is_useful, gifted 1ife has been suddenly terminated in the very zenith of its strength. Thers is no man in eastern Connec- infl ticut to take the place of Frank T. Brown. BUILDING NOTES. Bids for Shannon Building: Received— Other Work Under Way.
