CASSiDY’S OFFICE Owner Had Not Missed Them Until Police Asked if He Had Lost Any- thing of the Kind. Complaint was received on Wednes- day by Chief Murphy that a man was begging in offices in Shetucket street. He sent a man to look him up and there was found on him a pair of for- ceps, several knives, a new necktie and some stamps. He gave his name as John Smith, aged 58, of Hartford. It wag realized that the forceps be- longed to some doctor and the police were sent on a visit to the doctors’ offices. At the office of Dr. Patrick Cassidy, although he had not missed them, he found that his bag of tools was gone. The forceps he identified as belonging to him. A search was instituted by the police, and the tools were located where the fellow said he had left them, though it took much pleading on the part of the doctor and finally the third degree to get the goods. Doctor Casszidy a few years ago lost a bag of tools valued at about $125, which he never heard from. He knows the man who is under arrest, he having taken care of his horse Hap- py Doctor at one time. ¥he tools were taken on Tuesday and are worth from $50 to $60. The man had six cents in money on him when taken. Inasmuch as the doctor has taken pains to help him every time he has come to this city, his theft from twne office of the tools was at least ungrateful CONSIDERING PUTTING BOATS ON THAMES RIVER. Capt. Avery C. Smith May Have Two Power Boats if Rocks Are Removed from Shetucket. The lease of the municipal wharf at the foot of Rose place for a year from June 1st has been sacured by Avery C. Smith, and it is not improbable that he will have one or more boats on the river this summer. Captain Babbidge, who desired to run a boat on the river and-also wanted the wharf, could not be accommodated, as the wharf is lim- ited. Concerning the placing of a boat or bhoats on the river this summer, Cap- tain Smith stated that he has been considering it some time., He has re- ceived work from the govarnment offi- cials that the rocks under the Laurel Hill bridge in the Shetucket er wiil be removed this summer, and “as soon as they are removad I'll have the boats here,” said Captain Smith in speaking of the possibility of engaging in this business again. The time has come when the power boat is much tetter for such summer buginess than a small stzamer, as it can be operated much more econom- icaily. It is probable that the boats which Captain Smith would place on the river would be large power boats and that two would be run. Plans for carrving out this idea have not baen dafinitely a-ranged, and it was the opinior of the captain that it would not be advisable to use the municipal wharf until the obstructions are re- moved.

Accountunt Martin E.- Jensen, in compliasce with the request of the fi- nance cimniittee, presented a report of receipts disbursements and bal- ances for the month euding May 15, and the year ending the same date. In this report he says: In making the annual report it was found necessary to transfer certain receipts and dis- bursements from one department to another, because of errors in posting, and to make a correction in ths amount of one disbursement voucher. “Under receipts the fololwing trans- fer was made: Receipt No. 1917, No- vember 15, 1910, from ‘Licenses’ to ‘Street Department,’ $25. “There was found an éxcess of cash in safe for the month ending May 15, 1911, of $4.50 and a further excess of an amount of Septenilber 135. 1310, of 50 cents, making in nll due the es- tate of Ira L.

Finarce Committee’s Report. Mayoy Thayer presented the report of the finance commiftee stati the 1llness and death or Tity I'ceasurer Peck caused some difficulty in rea ing A repert, ewing to thz nec havirg the pooks balan ed. In ihis writing v of the pooks it was found tha: 2 $20,000 note, had nct been paid. He 1cfer:ed to the fact that al the eity mceting when the charter com- mittee reported that it was .recomn. niendel that the finating indebtedness be maid off, So in case the chartes w adopted ihe city woilla start free from a fuatng debt. The finani2 cummit- tea therefore felt it their Au:y to ap- propriate $20,000 to pay ofi ths float- ing debt. Sc in the estimatas it 18 fig- ured to receive $63,000 ia loans as s usual each year uatil taxes are col- lacted, and to pay that off altogether with (e $20,000. The greater part of the $20,00¢, he said, he presumed was not paid off be- cause of ihe expease connoctel with the water shortige and ths reduciior in water receipts.. The estimated re- ceipts from that department was $42,- 009, but it fell short 2bout $11,000. It was also found on this adminis- tration coming in that the $8,000 tak- en from the reserve fund was in the treasury and had not been used. This was returned to the fund, making a to- tal with the water shortage of $17,000 or nearly all the amount of the loan of $20,000. The committee deems it best to pay off this amount. The figures for the coming vear are probably the largest in the history of the city, said the mwcr ameunting in all to $841,687.84, o large part of which includes the $520,000 for the water works, with an additional $10,000 for interest.

This compluled the business and the council adjourned sine die. at 8.35 o’clock. In the repoert of the treasurer's ac- counts which foliows, the a.nounts to- taling over $26,000 for the reserve fund had not been turned over to the re- spective funds by Treasurer Peck but would have been before the close of the vear had he lived. It could not be done after his death and remains for the new official to accomplish. The amount of $7,276.61 has already been paid out in behalf of the Stony brook work, so that the remaining amount of the $320,000, or $312,732.49 is the amount which appears in the estimates. TEST FOR PIPE LINE X AT BACKUS CORNER. Reducer Has Been Received and Fol- lowing the Tryout of Pipes Ditch Will Be Filled. Supt. J. J. Corkery of the water de- partment nas received a 24-20 reducer whereby a 20 irch pipe is connected with a 24 inch pipe. and following the placing of this in position, which will be completed tcday at the More plice in West Main strest, the testing of the pipe which has been laid in that vi- cinity will be made with the Trading Cove brook water, and everything be- ing found satisfactory the pipas -wiil be covered. To make the test a 24 inch plug will be placed on the 24 inch pipe which Centractor Dodd has laid as far as Backus corner and a gate will be put on the 20 inch pipe which the de- pa ent has laid cityward a distancs of 75 fest. This will test those lincs of pipe as far as laid and if no trouble is found the trenches will no longer have to be kept open. The third boatload of will contain about all the light 24 inch pipe, is expected here today. The bringing of the pipe by boat makes it much handier than by rail, as it would be impossible to unload it fast enough from cars to escape the demurrage rate. - As it is, those unloading and carting the pipe are kept hustiing. the Huntington dock bzing a particularly fine place for the unloading of the pipe. Concerning the shutting off of Mo- hegan lake, Superintendent Corkary states that it was shut off only for a few nights in the nature of an experi- mant. It has always- been on during the day since being started this spring and is at the present time furnishing some wa! to the system. For a few nigate, to see if it would make any difference with Fairview, the water was shut oft at Rockwell street. Al- though it cannot be determin2d how much yet it is certain that water which it bcing puriped from the Tradlag Cove brook is going int> Fairview dur- ing the night in sufficient quantity to keep it at its lavel of 134 inches down. At Mohegan laka the water is 54 inch- es dow STOLEN BICYCLE TAKEN TO OWNER FOR REPAIRS.
