Chapman Considers Many of the Present League Teams Cannot Afford the Salary Limit. John C. Chapman, formerly ‘manager of the Norwich ball team, was in town on Sunday and Monday on busine: and in talking over the baseball situa. tion was favorably impressed with the 1dea of starting a strictly state league. He inquired with much Interest as to the progress which had been made towards the formatlon of it and was of the opinion that a good league could be started with a salary limit of_$900. The salary limit is one great trouble with the present league; he said, There are less than half the teams which can afford it where it is and make money, but with it down to $900 it should be 'a good proposition and at the same time furnish good ball. He was much pleased at the success Jack Tighe is making in Rock Island, where they have named a cigar after him and have gotten out posters with fine picture of the genial Jack.

At a hearing which lasted over an hour on Monday evening and at which many spoke, the committee appointed by the court of common council heard those who it was claimed would be ‘benefited by the Crescent and Roath street sewers. With one exception, none of the speakers considered tgat there was any benefit from the sew- ers which they should pay for, and it was the general opinion that the city should meet the expense of bopth. The exception was when C. R. Butts stated that he would not oppose a slight as- mmeflt in the case of the Norwich ‘The entire committee was in at- tendance, including Mayor Lippitt, Al- derman Stetson and Councilmen ‘Woodworth and Lester. The Cres- cent street sewer was taken up first by request. This® sewer was built from Broad street through Crescent street to a point near the Free Acad- emy, at a cost of $2,05 Attorney J. J. Desmond appeared for the following: Dr. and Mrs. W. S. C. Perkins, Mary G. Osgood, Martha L. Osgood, Gertrude Browne, Angelina P. Fuller, Emma F. Carroll, Jennie L. Reid and Emerson P. Turner. He said that from investigation giv- en to the matter the claim is that they are not benefited in any manner. The property owners were all supplied be- fore the construction of the sewer, by Broad and Rockwell streets Broad- way and the old Crescent street sew- er, not only then put for all reason- able prospective use. The sewer recently constructed was built at a far greater expense than necessary, if a sewer had been needed by them. Such a tax as this is levi- able only where the owners of prop- erty are benefited. When there is sewage through one street and prop- erty abuts on another it can hardly be said it is benefited by the second, sew- er. Mr. Desmond was of the opinion that all the abutting property is not included in the list to be benefited. Mr. Chandler explained that Mr. Bard had a sewer on three his property and has paid for those Denefits and that is why he has not ‘been assessed. Dr. Lewellyn Pratt, president of the Academy corporation, said that the benefit that comes from the laying of the sewer is not for the Academy as an institution, but is for ehe benefit of those who attend the school. It is for the benefit of the city and not for those who represent it as a corpora- tion. They asked for it when extra advantages were to be given to the pupils of the city. For fifty years the Academy has stood in the place of a high school, which would cost not less than $15,000 to $20.000 a year. The betterment is for the benefit of the city. Principal H. A. Tirrell said that the Academy is being conducted for the benefit of Norwich at a cost of 375 to $80 a pupil, from which they get only from $15 to $45 each. The more puplls the Academy bas the poorer it gets. He considered that the Academy should not be obliged to meet an as- sessment, nor that the other property owners should. It was constructed as a benefit for Norwich, and the city should meet the expense. F. J. Leavens called attention to the fact that the Academy is spending $35,000 a year for the children of Nor- wich through its trust funds and re— ceives back but $7,000. The improve- ments there are being made because they are needed and will mean an ex- penditure of $100,000. While it is a necessity to have the sewer, it is a public benefit as it is for the pupils. Attorney John P. Huntington repre- sented_the Rockwell property, which he said is fully provided for by other sewers and is Dot benefited by the new one. He considered it should not be assessed. C. H. Butts, for Mrs. Richards, de- clared that her property is not bene- fited as the Broadway sewer cares for that property and there is not enough on Crescent street for another build- ing. Should there be, it would be easier to get to Broadway sewer through a shallow trench than into the deep Crescent street sewer. As to the Norwich club, J. Ralph Howe stated that it had a cesspool which meets all requirements. When Mr. Butts was asked about the Nor- wich club he said that he could not oppose a slight assessment there. Frank W. Browning stated that the church sewer is no benefit to Park v, touching only a corner of the The church and Osgood Me- morial into sewer. are sewered Broadway Roath Street Sewer. ‘When the Roath street sewer mat- ter was taken up, that having been constructed at a cost of $362.47, and eleven people notified that they were considered _especially benefited by It, ex-Street Commissioner John Donovan opened up strong, being fortified with a city charter, common council reports and legal decisions. He asked a long list of questions, some of which were answered and others were not. He wanted to know by what authority the sewer was built, if a detailed state- ment of the cost had been made to the city meeting, who _petitioned for it, what the assessment is, what the city will pay, how many there were not connected with a sewer and why the sewer should be covered up in the sew-- er and catch basin account. He was told, either by the mayor or corporation counsel, that it was in- cluded in the $4.000 appropriated by the city for sewers and catch basine, the laiter explaining that it cannot always be foreseen just what will come up_during the year. Mr. Donovan asked if it was consid- ered that the requirement of the char- ter had been met as to giving a de- tailed statement of the estimates, and Corporation Counsel Briscoe that it was so considered. e then said he would await the decision of the committee and if he was assessed he would take the matter to the courts. It was his claim that the council was never authorized by the city meeting to build that sewer. The $4.000, he maintained, was for work to be done at public expense, as the citizens were given to understand. but the sewer was_never authorized and it is there- fore illegally done and without au- thority, unless the city meets the ex- pense. He declared he would not pay an assessment and created some laughter when he said he had been through the new bar library scanning digest after digest looking for a ruling on such a case as this in this state, but could not find one. Ife, however, read some decisions on similar mat- ters given in other states. He sald he did not make the statement about his refusing to pay as a threat. but he was determined to get & decision on the matter that way. He maintbined that only one house needed @ sewer there. He sald he had two vacant lots on the street which he might convert into a cemetery and therefore they would be exempt. (Laughter.) A private drain o one house, he sald. would have satisfied all the demands {here as far as the resi- dents of the street were concerned, but the carrying off of tbe surface water was the chief point at stake thege. Mr. Briscoe informed him that by ::: gh-lner he considered the council ed purely within jts rights. James Hankins said §e couldn’t sas Many Appsared Before Comniittee at Hearing on Cres- cent and Roath Street Sewers—Considered that City Should Meet the Cost—John Donovan Declared Roath Street Sewer was lllegally Constructed if Assessment ides of | stated) 7 ' Tow he could get any benefits from the Roath street sewer. He is sewered in- to North Main street, and that assess- ment has been pald. The corporation counsel seemed to think he would not have to pay the assessment. John Connell said he w: getting along all right without the sewer The health officer required him to comnect with it. He did not want a sewor and it cost him $30 to connect with it. One man had told him he would build him a private sewer to North Main street for $25. John Cunningham sald the sewer is of no benefit to the Cunningham prop- erty. and Andrew Cunningham stated that the property now has a sewer in North Main street which was put down about sixteen years ago, which is suf- ficlent for their land. Daniel Foley raised the point that the sewer was built more for the city than for the residents of the street. He was of the opinion that the city had spent many times the cost of the sew- er in repairing the hill after it had been washed out by heavy rains. He idered the work was done for the city’s good. He represented Catherine ¥oley. and her property had been con- nected with the sewer, although it could have been connected with the CIHiff street sewer. Street Commission- er Fellows stated that Mr. Foley was right about the cost of repairing Roath street after storms. Mr. Donovan was anxious to learn it any more sewers were to be built out of the $4,000 appropriation, for he con- sidered the expenditures for the work of the year with the Roath and Crescent street sewers could all be met out of it. Street Commissioner Fellows, when asked, stated that it was first intended to cafry off the water in Roath street by connecting with the catch basins in Cliff street. but Health Officer Lewis state that there were two places which should have sewers, and for that rea- son it was built through Roath street. ‘This, he sald, was decided upon after the appropriation was made. The hearing closed shortly nine, and the commission heid a mect- ing thereafter to consider the mat- ters. OBITUARY. Dr. Charles E. Jones. Dr Charles E. Jones of Hartford passed away peacefully about four o’clock Monday morning, in this cit: after an illness of over nine month: The cause of death was a general ner- vous collapse, brought on by overwvork and excessive mental strgin. Dr. Jones was born in Best Hartford May 29, 1855. He was graduated from the public schools of Hartford and after devoting six years to life in- surance in connection with the New York Life Insurance company. he gave up a lucrative position and began under the instruction of the late D: P. D. Peltier, the study of medicine. He attended the New York Homeo- pathic Medical college and was grad- vated with homor in the year 1882, standing second in his class. During the last two vears of his cpllege course he was resident druggist of the New York Opthalmic hospital. Returning to Hartford Dr. Jones at once began the active practice of his profession, He soon built up a large and lucrative general practice, being especially successful in the treatment of children’s diseases and fevers. Dr. Jones was a member of the B. H. Webb council, Royal Council. He was 2 member of the Connecticut Homeopathic Medical society, and kept in closest touch with the leaders of his profession and with the latest developments of medical science. He ear] learned that a successful family physician could ill afford to make minute calls, and his general success was due to his care and faithfulness in the study of his patients combined with skill and fitness for the profes- sion. Like many who have attained a great degree of success in their pro- fession he paid the penalty of hard work and untiring zeal. In the year 1882 Dr. Jones married Miss Alice M. Towner of Jewett, N. Y. and to_this union were born two children, Charles B. Jones, Jr. and Marguerite Jones. all of whom sur- vive him. Frederick N. Fox. The death of Frederick N. native of Bast Lyme, who has | the last fifteen years at Gales occurred Monday evening at about o'clock at the Backus hospital. passed his 76th birthday last June. had been at the hospital several weeks, death following a general breakdown incident to his age. Mr. Fox enlisted in the Fourteenth Connecticut in August, 1862, the same regiment to which the late Maj. James Coit of this city and the late Col. Wil- liam Tubbs of New London belonged. He served throughout the war, being promoted to first lientenant, and saw some of the fiercest engagements and campaigns in the service, including Antietam, Fredericksburg. Gettysburg, the Wilderness and Petersburs. He came to Norwich in 1880 and re- moved to Gales Ferry about 1895. He is survived by his wife and five chil- dren, all residents here—Fred A. Fox, Miss Clara E. Fox, George B. Fox, Charles E. Fox and Mrs. Frederick Busch. He also leaves one sister, Mrs. J. W. Nopwood, of Short Beach, Conn. Mrs. Robert Larkin.

Mrs. Larkin was born in Massapeag All WhHo Would Enjoy good health, with its blessings, must un- derstand, quite clearly, that it involves the question of right living with all the term implies. With proper knowledge of what is best, each hour of recreation, of enjoy- ment, of contemplation and of effort may be made to contribute to living aright.
