A, Alken ask- ed explanation of estimated receipts on the other side of this account of $8,000, Alderman Gebrath explaining that this came from assessments from people on streets treated.

Asks About Gas Department Interest. The sum of $140,000 for operating and general expenses in gas and elec- trical department brought out a ques- tion from Edward Kirby as to whether the gas department took care of all the interest and where the interest was shown in the budget. Corporation Counsel Fanning re- plied that he thought the interest on the extra amount above the bond in- terest was Included in the $66,000 in the financial department estimate for interest. 5 Mr, Kirby said that he wanted to find out who was paying the interest and he.was after information, but not opposing the appropriatisn. Mr. Kirby figured out that the plant deficit was something over 00 and nsked if the citizens had got to dig down in their pockets to make up the batting average of the gas plant. He ‘wanted to know if the plant took care of the interest on $380,000. There was | applause for Mr. Kirby as he conclud- ed. Commissioner McWilliams Answers. | John McWilliams, of the gas and clectric commission, corrected th amount to be $302,000 and said that the payment of interest was made by | the city treasurer and came out of the | profits of the gas department. ‘, Albert Boardman claimed that ex- Mayor Thayer had stated that the city | had never paid interest on the $400,000 | in bonds which was on the plant when | the efty took it, but Mr. McWilliams stated that the interest had always teen in every report that was made. Mr, Kirby read statements which on inquiry from Mr. McWilllams were shown to be from the 1905 report of the plant. Mr. McWilllams read the last statement of the plant, showing a talance of over $25,000. $89,000 from the Gas Plant. Edwin A. Tracy stated that the gas piant had turned into the city avery year more money than was pald ou:, and that not one dollar came out of the pockets of the taxpayers; and trey never would have to pay out ex- cept in case of the total failure of the piant, The city now has in its hands in varfous ways $39,000 which has been electrical com- mission. Mr. Tracy was applauded as be finished his vigorous statement, J. J, Desmond spoke for not wast- ing time in this discu n, as this was no plece for a primary school in- struction on this matter, Mr, . Kirby denied that he was in- farring anything wrong in the doings | of the commission, but he wanted (o know if the plant hy made a net profit, Why $25000 More for Running Ex- penses. The appropriation $140,000 was then voted after an inquiry from Charles Lynch that brought out fact that the sum was $113,000 vear for running expenses and he ed for an explanation, Mr. Mc iams responded that the receipts w Increased a corresponding amount, and | any citizen could find out about the department by inquiry of the ecity treasurer. Mr. McWilliams also dis- cussed how the plant had been built up | until now it was worth $1,000,000 to the city., They challenged all the in- vestigation desired. City Treasurer's Statement Read. At the request of Mayor Murphy Clerk Moore read a statement from | City Treasurer Avery which shed light | on the inquiry about profits of the gas | and electrical plant and how interest was paid, For the year up to May 15 it show- od 3180,736.71 total receipts, $172,087.6 total disbursements, making $8,6 of balance. Of this sum in digbursements $27,916.66 came out of the 1 the reserve| regular disburse 94, which dedu e a profit of $3 614.77. This is not including interest | amounting to $9,080 on $200,000 in | bonds, interest amounting to $2,040 én $60,000 in bonds, nor interest amount- ing to 5 on $15,000 loan, making al- | togther a total in interest of 312,155, Deducting this, the real profit of $24 169.77 is arrived at. This interest paid from the regular appropriations | and not from the profits of the gas| and electrical plant, was the state- ment. Mr. Lynch again put the question | what the extra $25,000 was for, say- | ing that if it was not needed he pro-| posed o make the appropriation the | same as last yvear, but the vote 3 | assed without a direct answer to ion, e subsenquent the gas and electrical de commission and financial de were all voted without oppe the appropriation of $9.700 one- third of Water and Shetucket street | loan, Alderman Gebrath explained that this wa first of three payments, | according to agreement.

D- Noyes advocated the| sewer as necessary, as there was none | on the street, and on his motion the appropriation’ was made- The sum of $585 was voted for a sewer on Lafay- ette street. C, D. Noyes asked if the residents of that section asked for a sewer on Dunham street, when ‘the appropria- tion of $1,215 came up, and after an answer from Alderman Gebrath and the advocacy of the sewer by Dr. Pat- rickk Cassldy this sum was voted, $5.000 for Hassam Pavement on Frank- lin Street.

For several years noth- ing but temporary repairs had been done on the street. He mentloned| articular spots In the street that were | a dlsgrace, and there was a great deal | of heavy teaming, so that there| should be some action taken. How Much $10,000 Would Do- Alderman Gebrah stated that this $10,000 would do only part of the stres as $25,000 would be needed for the whole street, and he thought the! meeting ought to direct the commit- tee. In answer to Dr. Donohue, City En- gineer Pitcher sald that tl $10,000 might macadam the street pretty near- ly from Washington square to the top of the hill. Frank H. Smith stated that an esti- mate had been made that a Hassam pavement would cover from Riley’s block to Broad straet. Dr, Donohue advocated halving this amount of $10,000, and he made the amendment that $5,000 be appropriat- ed. L. O. Smith also spoke for th prevement, arguing that there w economy t meant loss, and said t the reason for low price of re estate here was because the city had not been kept up, and it woul joss to spend money now. Bvery vis- | tor to the city says our streets are horrible, and he would vote for any appropriation for the street, whether it came within half a mile of him or not. (Applause.) President J. D. Haviland of the board of trade also spoke for perma- nent improvements, and Mr- Fanning instructed the meeting hat $5,000 now 139 over with what extras had already heen voted. & J. J. Desmond spoke for comsider- ing the things the city really needs. and not consider another mill or a half mill If it stood in the way of progress. He was vigorously applauded. Withdrew Amendment. Dr, ment, remarking that all seemed to feel lib t and in favor of spending The 310,000 was vot- ed, with a few dissenting voices. Cut off $685 Expenditure. The sum of $685 for a retzining wall, sidewalk and grade on North Main street at the Burton property was vot- ed down, after Alderman Gebrath had been called on for an explanation and Ashley T. Boon had asked if it was customary for the cf to build re- taining walls, rking that there were many residents who would like valls if this were so.

A, Robinson upon the removal of the trees, saying that it would mean trees on both sides of the street. The trees stood in the street and leaned towards the center. Three feet would be gained by the re- moval of the trees, The appropriation asked for, Mr, Pit- cher said, would macadam a readbed 1-2 feet wide along Sachem street both sides from Washington to Yantic street and from there on to Lafayette street on one side. There would be $1,900 coming from the rall- road in addition to what the city was to appropriate. Withdraws Propesal to Widen Street. Mr. Rebinson described Sachem street as a cartpath which one could travel only in certain months of the vear, with tre sequent cong varrow and is complained of by the t're department, and wagons have to get up against the trees to pass a car in the street. Mr. Robinson told of getting up petitions for paving and lening.
