SMITH The Drug Man, Franklin Square, Norwich, Ct apres Council Moves For Vo Solution of the Franklin Square Trolley harter Express Ccngu; tion by Extension to Freight House Through Shetucket Street—Arthur E. Story Made a Member of the Eoard of Gas and Electric Commissioners—Petitions for New Work and Roads. - Although the April meeting of the court of common council did not last over forty minutes there was much business done, a number of petitions being_received and reports acted up- on. Mayor Lippitt presided over the session, at which all were present e: cept Councllmen Hopkins and Wood- worth. One of the important actions of the evening was the move made to- wards getting a new city charter, the finance committee to place in the es- timates for the next city meeting the sum of $5,000 to defray the expense of drafting, ‘advertising and - submitting to the next general assembly a new charter. This is the first move made to this end, which will require much preparation. ‘It was shown by the public works committee that the Con- necticut company believes the proper way to overcome the congestion in Franklin square is to build a spur track to the freight house of the New Haven road, and negotiations are un- der way to that end. The appoint- ment of a gas and electric commis- sioner for three years was made by the council in_the unanimous choice of Arthur E. Story, who_was nomi- nated by Mayor Lippitt. Mr. Story is one of the prominent democrats of the city and succeeds Gilbert S. Raymond, who has served as commissioner for a term of three years. Following the calling to order of the council, the reading of the journal was omitted and the monthly report of the street department was read, showing the expenditure of $1,975.56, which in- cluded $255.62 for the CIIff street im. provement, $309.47 for Talman street sewer and $14.75 for the School street sewer. The report was accepted. The report of City Treasurer L L. Peck was accepted and ordered printed in_the journal. Regarding the petition of Somers Bros. for a grade In fromt of their property in North Main street, the cor- poration counsel reported that the Status of the land title there is not such as will warrant the action prayed for. The report was accepted. Upon John Donovan’s petition for the abatement of a sewer assessment in Roath street, Corporation Counsel Briscoe reported that in his opinion the sewer was ordered and the asses ment is legal. The report was ap- proved. The finance committee, to whom was referred the petition of F. L. Chapman and other stationary engi- neers for an ordinance governing sta- tionary engineers and licensing them, reported that they had been advised that such an ordinance is not valid, as there is no power to cause the plac- ing of fees, They considered there was no good purpose in passing a com- plex ordinance which is also of doubt- ful validity. The petitioners were given leave to witharaw. Health Officer’s Report. The lengthy report of Health Officer Dr. N. B. Lewis was read by the clerk, approved, ordered printed in the ap- pendix of the journal and 300 copies will be printed for distribution. In it he _says: There have been a small number of serious contagious diseases scarlet fe- ver and diphtheria, though quite se- rious epidemics have been raging in the state. The minor diseases have been quite prevalent. The sewers have greatly improved the sanitary condi- tion of the city, but there are several unsanitary and unhealthy streets where sewers should be built. He referred briefly to the sewers in Roath, Cres- cent, Cedar and Talman streets, built recently. It has been mnecessary to close the public closets on the municipal wharf during the winter to prevent them from freezing, but they should be open the entire year. New no-spitting signs have been placed; three comvictions have taken place during the year for violating the city ordinances. Since the new law regarding tuber- culosis went into effect October 1, thir- teen new cases of tuberculosis have been reported and undertakers have re- ported twenty deaths in the past four years and the houses have been fumi- gated. There is need of a place for the care of consumptive cases. The streets were kept well sprinkled and swept the past year. There was much offensive dust from the rotary sweeper, however, the dust being filled with disease germs, and to overcome this he recommended the investiga- tion of the vacuum method of clean- ing streets. Nineteen barber shops have been re- ported by the state board of exami- ners as deflcient in sanitary arrange- ments and the proprietors promptly notified of the deficiencies. The school houses are now in a good sanitary condition, having been thoroughly cleansed during the spring vacatiton and three schoolrooms were fumigated during the year. Calling attention to the low water in the reservoir despite the expendi- ture of 313,000 for & . new dam at Meadow brook. he renewed his rec- ommendation that water be pumped from the north branch of the Yantic river. Public sanitation he considered should be more thoroughly understoad and he believes it should be taught in schools, being more beneficial to the pupils’ than physiology. as it is far more important that he should learn how diseases enter the system, the chief carriers, and how to aveld them by simple sanitary means at the command of mearly every family. Catchbasins with traps were recom mended for Broad and Ots streets to connect with Franklin street brook, and the completion®of the culvert at the Comstock pond. The land should be purchased and the sewer complet- ed. Because of cesspools which are of no avail because of the nature of the ground, he recommends a smail sewer in Laurel Hill avenue from Jen- nigs’ block southerly about 450 fegi. He also recommended & sewer in N Thames street from West Main to Cove and also one in White stroet. This last named section is very un- sanitary. He recommended the ex- tension of the Page's lane sewer to the river, the need of a sewer in Bos- well avenue, -mear the Yerrington farms, and the need of rebuilding the Yantic street sewer, The collecting and disposing of gar- bage and ashes in a manner which will not be offensive and dangerous to the health is a problem to be solved. It has been wsed to fill in low places in the winter but Comstock’s pond will be filled in in a few months, and the sec- tion of Central whart spiled last year is nearly filled. To take care of what would naturaliy be taken to Comstock’s pond he recommended spiling near Sturtevant avenue and bullding a bridge across so that it will allow dumping there for all ashe: There is an accumulation of sewage near the culvert of the Franklin streef brook where it enters the Shetucket ver. To overcome this nuisance the space ehould be epiled and filled in, and would make a small park. The city received an invitation to become a member of the National Mu- nicipal league, the fourteemth annual convention being held in St. Paul this summer. It was placed on file. It_was voted to pay $100 to William A Spivery, administrator of the estate of Albert Marshall, who fell and was injured on an alleged defective side- walk in Spring street, to settle all claims. Petitions. D. T. Roath and many others asked to have included in the estimates for the next annual city meeting the esti- mated expense of $2,400 for macadam izing Main street in the Sixth district from the present macadam _to the junction of Main street and Hamilton avenue. It was referred to the finance committee. Sarah J. Donohue and others peti- tioned for a new layout of Yantic street, making it of a uniform width of forty feet from Washington strest t0 a point near the first house situated on the westerly side of the street and includes in the estimates a sum suffi- clent to complete the city's portion of the jmprovement. It was referred to the finance committee. They also want a grade established for a walk on both ides of Yantic street. It was referred to the public works committee. Albert L. Potter and others asked that an estimate be made and submit- ted to the mext city meeting for a mac- adam or gravel road from the present macadam to the top of Bates' Hill. A state road is being bullt in Preston from the Norwich line to Preston City and from Preston bridge to the city line the road is poor. It was referred to the finance committee. J. E. Peterson and five others asked to have included in the next city meeting warning the esttmate for a sewer in Boswell avenue from Seventh to Bleventh or Twelfth streets. It was referred to the finance committee. The quarterly report of the fire mar- shal, Howard L. Stanton, showed that seven permits had been granted. The chief of police's Teport for the quarter ghowed 186 arrests. It was ap- proved. City Charter Expense Money. The finance committee was author- ized to include in the estimates to be submitted to the néxt annual city meeting a sum not to exceed $5,000 to defray the expenses of drafting, ad- vertising and_submitting to the next general assembly of the state of Con- necticut a vevised charter for the city of Norwich.

A very attractive musical offering is the sketch, An American Girl in Italy, done by the Clara Cook Somora tri whose melodious numbers get a b, hand and make them a strong feature on the bill.
