With the exception of two members, Alderman Ely and Councilman Lester, all the common council members were in attendance Monday evening at the closing session of the fiscal year, at which action was taken on several im- portant matters. The finance commit- tee recommended a _nine-mill tax, which was approved by the council, several reports to clear up the busi- ness were made, and petitions acted upon. ~ Department reports were pre- sented and approved and the accom- panying financial statement shows that the council has gone through the vear without the exceeding of an appropri- ation, except in street lighting, where- in the cost of production is responsi- ble, as it is impossible to tell until that is figured what the lights have cost. The showing made is one high- ly complimentary to the administra- tion. The council being called to order at 8.20 o'clock by Mayor Lippitt, the reading of the journal was unanimous- Iy _omitted. The hearing on the establishment of a grade on the northerly side of Ma- ple Grove avenue was opened and there being no one to be heard, the grade was ordered_established as rec- ommended, from Washington street, west. Hourigan Lane Improvement. John M. Thayer, William H. Shields and others reported that the way from Main to Church streets, known as Hourigan’s lane, is in bad shape and inconvenient for foot travel, and needs attention to make it safe, which they asked be glven it. It was referred to the public works committee, who re- ported that the way I8 of varving width, being 17.9 feet at Main street and 20.3 feet at Church street, hav- ing two angles on the westerly side and one ‘on the easterly. It is too steep for the safe passage of vehicles and the most feastble way to improve it is to discontinue so much of it as may not be required by foot passen- gers and construct sultable stairs and landings on the remainder. In 1871 a strip 3.5 fest wide was discontinued on the easterly side and sold to ad- joining property owners for $657.30. If any part of the remaining alley is discontinued it should be upon such agreement between adjoining property owners and upon such terms as will at least defray the cost of the im- provement., The report was accepted. Lillian S. Beckwith asked permission to connect her property at No. 83 Church street with the public sewer at thd foot of Church street, which. upon being referred to the public works committee, was granted. James C, McPherson asked the coun- cil for thé privilege of cutting away the deadwood from two trees in front of his premises, No. 26 Laurel Hill avenue. It was referred to the tree warden. $10,000 for Industrial Building. Edwin A. Tracy and 29 others asked for the calling of a meeting of the city to take action on the following mat- ter, or to incorporate it in the warn- ing for the annual city meeting: “To vote to exempt from taxation for a period of years any individual partnership or corporation, which may hereafter locate in the city of Norwich and expend a sum of money not less than $10,000 for land and buildings to be used for industrial purposes and in the employment of labor.” It was re- ferred to the corporation counsel, who reported as follows: Such action if taken at a city meet- ing, woukd be illegal, void and of no effect; if such action were taken It would tend to deceive peopls who might_erect plants relving upon the good faith of the community as em- bodied in a vote of exemption, while such action would be rendered nuga- tory upon the application of any tax- paver who might dissent from the ac- tion of the city meeting. He append- ed a clipping from the Hartford Cour- ant, which was partly as follows: No town has any authority to do such a thing. Taxation is a state function. not the town's. All the taxes levied are under the state law. If a town should announce that it would exempt any factory that settled there, a sin- gle taxpayer could stop the carrving out of the contract. ' Exempting one concern 1s, in fact, taxing all the oth- ers in the community to help support that one privileged beneficiary. Cit- izens who belleve their town will ben- efit by bringing in a new concern that cannot afford to pay its own taxes may meet the situation by personally guar- anteeing to pay its taxes for a fixed number of years out of their own pock- ets; but mot they nor a majority of the citizens can lawfully make the town agree to do this. It is primarily fllegal; secondarily, it is unjust under imaginable conditions, unjust enough to amount to persecution. The report was approved. The committee on fire department reported on the petition of Mrs. Ellen Murphy for permission to erect @ brick_building corner of West Main and North Thames street, that it had City Treasurer I L. Peck glves the been referred to the fire marshal with instructions that it be approved, aft- er the applicant has filed an appli- cation with the fire marshal and com- plied with the usual requirements. It was accepted. Nine-Mill Tax. The report of the finance committee including the estimated expenses for the ensuing year, which appear on page eight in the advertising columns, shows the total amount of the estimat- ed expenses to be $432,063.28. The es- timated expenses vary but little from last year, although there are some small increases and a few decreases. The amount to be raised by tax will be $115,453.355. The committee says: “To meet the expenditures called for by their estimates, a tax of nine mills on the last city list will be required, said list being $12,828,172. In view of the recent increases in local taxation for town purposes, your commititee have made every effort to reduce the rate of city taxation and the above es- timates are deemed to be such ae will fully and fairly meet the expenses of economical administration and of such permanent improvements as are at this time absolutely necessary, In addition to the estimated expens- es for ordinary purposes of the gov- ernment, the “commttee on finance have been requested by petition, com- mittee reports, etc., to bring before the next annual meeting for its action estimates of the cost of the following expenditures and improvements pray- ed for: New layout of Yantic street, $6,000; salary of milk inspector for two years past and one to come $2,700: drafiing, advertising and submitting to the general assembly a revised charter, $5,000: brick paving, Main street, from Rose place to Shetucket street, $4,707.50: brick paving, Main street, from Rose place to Market street. $6,827.50; macadamizing Main street. east side, from present macad- am to Hamiiton avenue, $2,389; sewer n_Oneco street, $1,275. The sum of these estimates is equal to about two mills on the grand list. These items were ordered placed in the warning and a nine-mill tax was rec- ommended. The report was approved. Spraying of Trees. A petition signed by E. A. Tracy and others was presented asking that $500 be placed in the estimates for the pur- pose of spraying the elm trees standing on_city property. John D. Hall of the Board of Trade public improvement committee told of the action of the board and it was hoped something could be done this spring, possibly by using unexpended balances from some other department. Tt would do great good this spring. F. J. King also spoke on similar lines, telling of the ravages of the elm beetle. Mayor Lippitt explained that such a sum had been placed in the estimates as previously read for that purpose and the corporation counsel stated that the unexpended balances have been turned over to the city treasurer, 0 there remains no money to do any such work. The petitioner was given leave to withdraw. Milk Ordinance. Corporation Counsel Briscoe reported that he had examined the proposed milkc inspection ordinance and finds it within the chartered power of the city to provide measures for preserving the health of the city. The ordinance is substantially of the form adopted by at least one other city of the state and is intended to so supplement the stat- ute_on the subject as to ensure the quality and cleanliness of this fmpor- tant article of fo0d. Upon motion of Councilman Wood- worth the ordinance was taken up and ordered tabled for consideration by the next comncil. The sum of $41.35 was voted to At~ torney J. H. Barnes in behalf of C. F. Reynolds and others for costs taxed City Treasurer Peck’s summary of receipts from May 17, 1809, to May 15, 1910, is as follows Bal on hand May 17. 1809..

The' sum of $14,250.38 was voted to the gas and electric reserve fund and Mayor Lippitt warned the members to ‘e at the city hall at 2 o'clock Memo- rial day to participate in the parade. Street Lighting. Alderman Robinson in behalf of the police commissioners spoke relative to the street lighting and the overdraft. He said that there had been many pe- titions for lights which had not’ been reported upon. The commiesioners have guarded their appropristion care- fully, as it was cut at the city meel ing. ' Being unable to tell until the close just what the cost would be, as the city furnishes at cost, the excess was unavoidable. Owing to lack of funds no report has been made on pe- titions for new lights. Mayor Lippitt spoke on the careful way the commis- sioners had worked, only one bug light being added to the lights of a year ago. The committees of the several departments are to be congratulated on the way they have kept inside of the appropriations. “1 know the com- y is pleased,” said the mayor, bt Expression of Thanks.

There has been noth- ing ‘In any meeting to cause regret. The business has been carried on ex- peditiously and with good results, and you have my heartfelt appreciation. He thanked the clerk for his faithful work and assistance and also the corpora- tion council and the press. Alderman Robinson moved a vote of thanks to Mayor Lippitt, which was given by a unanimous rising vote, and the council adjourned at 9 o'clock. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE STREET COMMISSIONER Much Work Accomplished Within the Appropriations by G. E. Fellows. In the annual report Street Commis- sioner Fellows made to the commoan council, it states that two of the old horses ‘died during the year and one was sold. Two new ones were bought, and two others should be replaced by younger ones, and thereafter there should be one new one each year. One new watering trough has been placed at the junction of Boswell avenue and Franklin street and one reset in West Main street. The care of the new pub- lic comfort station has been added to this account for care, water and light. The barn has been remodeled for horses and the inside is at present in first class condition, but a new roof of some kind is needed, as the present slate is in bad condition, The sweep- ing of the block paving cost $4,573.41. and 11,432 Dbags of sweepings were carted awa Five carts and the electric sprinkler have done the street sprinkling. One lot of emulsion was used. but it was not up to expectations. On streets fit to receive it, it is recommended that a coating of tarvia B with sand or crushed stone be used. It can be put on for three or four cents a year and has been successfully used here, The garbage and ashes have been taken with very few complaints. There were 4,667 loads at a cost of $5,999.62, or an average cost per load of $1.28 Owing to the dry season the clean- ing of catchbasins has been light. The Spring street sewer has been renewed for about 75 feet, a new 12-inch sewer has been‘laid in Roath street, and nu- merous catchbasins have been built and several others are needed. The sewer in Yantic street should be re- newed, costing about $1,000. The Crescent street sewer was bulilt at a cost of §2,038.56. The new steam road roller was bought from the appropria- ‘tion and the old roller with a few dol- lars additional. TUnion square was macadamized and laid in tarvia, part of Laurel Hill ave- nue and Thy es street has been re- paired. Washington street, West Main, McKinley avenue and part of Broad- way have had the holes repaired. The coming year $6,000 will be needed for macadam repairs. Forty trees have been taken down and about 100 trimmed. The trees can be cared for for the same amount as last year, but to save from elm beetles an additional $500 for spraying should be appropriated. The School street sewer has been bullt and the public comfort station was built inside the appropriation. Outside of surveying and taking out some stone, nothing has been done on the Sachem street macadam, because an injunction was secured by the rail- way company. The widening of West Main street has been done as far as (Continued on Seventh Page.) Incidents in Socisty The Harmony Whist was entertain- ed on Monday afternoon ‘by Mrs. J. H.
