We need not be so very old to rememher the day when we eved all advertisements and advertisers with suspicion. The advertisements we regarded as traps to catch the unwary and the advertisers as ‘“quacks” or “fakers.” Not 80 many years ago a woman picked up a newspaper and exclaimed: “Just listen to this: ‘Bland & Blank desire to call the atten- tlon of their patrons to their Fall importations of sults and wraps”’ 1 never saw Blank & Blank advertise before. 1 won- der if they are going to get cheap!” A few weeks ago the same woman said te a friend: “I had been hunting ull over for that Orlental embroidery and had siven up finding it when I just happened upon the very thing I wanted at Blank & Blank's, T told the man it was & pily they had not advertised it and saved me Gamping all over the city.” This is & true story, The same woman, the same shop, nething changed but the time and the point of view.

" KEPT CITY TAX T0 10 3-4 MILLS Long List of Extras Killed Off—Citizens Filled Town Hall to quent Use For Gavel in Lively Meeting—Tax Voted is Quarter Mill Less Than Council Recommended. the town hall on Tuesday evening, and lasted for about two hours, a city tax of 10 3-4 mills for the year was laid, a quarter of a mill less than had been recommended by the court of common council. Ttems in those recommended by the court of common council that were killed off were $3,500 for outside work in the public'works department, and $6,580.92 reappropriation from general sinking fund, the $18,000 rec ommended for street lighting was in- creased $1,000, and corrections were made in the amounts for gas and elec- trical sinking fund and depreciation account, which increased these by $2,712.18. These changes brought the recommended itmes to a total of $503,- 789.18, where they had been $510,- 096,92, To this was added $750 for cleaning the outlet of Loomis brook and $400 for improevement of Lake street play- ground, which were the only ones of 22 extra ltems involving $87,787.68 to survive the policy of economy adopt- ed by the meeting, so that the final amount to be raised it$504,948.18 on the gand list of $13,126.078. Practically every seat was taken and there was a rim of standing spectators when Mayor T. C. Murphy called the meeting to order at 8 o'clock. After Sity Clerk Stephen D. Moore read the call for the meeting Mayor Murphy said that the first matter was the ap- propriation for strects, $33,000 this vear, where it was $29,000 last year. The mayor sald that the committee be- lieved this amount would result in much greater satisfaction as to the condition of the streets as there was much needed for repairs. Tried to Speak on Gas Matters. Edwin A. Tracy took the floor and said he wanted to speak regarding the financial condition of the city, and he wanted particularly to clear away some of the misconceptions regarding the gas and electrical plant. Dr. Pat- rick Cassidy was on his feet to object at once, and the mayor's gavel came down with a bang as he ruled Mr. Tracy out of order. The latter claim- ed the right to speak as a matter of personal privilege, but was ruled out of order, and Dr. Cassidy moved to approve the appropriation. He asked if it would make the streets safe and protect the city from lawsuits for in- jurtes through defective condition of the streets. Alderman Gebrath spoke for the ap- propriation at the flgure asked. Gen- eral William A. Ajker thanked the mayor for explanatory words on the appropriation and asked for the differ- ence between the item of ordinary re- pairs _and macadam repairs. Alder- repairs were included in ordi- repairs. The aves had it on the vote after the first taking of the vote had been called for and doubted by the meet- ing on the volume of the sound pro- duced. For garbage and ashes $6, was $500 more than last yea of the department having to quit dumping in certain sections, as ex- plained by Alderman Gebrath, was voted. The alderman said covers for ash carts were under consideratign, when General Aiken asked abgut these. nary 500, which r, because il Costs More. For sewers and catch basins $2,500, same as last vear, was voted, and $6,- 000, same as last year, for macadam repairs. The sum of $6,500 for ofl- ing and sprinkling streets was $1,000 more thna last year. The reason was the increased price of oil, said Alder- man Gebrath. The amount was voted. For parks and trees the figure was | $1,500, same as last year. The sum of $733.52 not spent In widening Water and Shetucket streets was reappropriated, and the sum of $863.97 for Sachem street mac- adam also reappropriated, under sim- ilar conditions. This sum has since been spent in finishing the road, For relawing of Yantic street sewer $450, as recommended, was voted. For New Sewers. Thomas M. Shields spoke for the sum of $400 for a sewer on Broad street at the Slater property, where he said there was soon to be building on the lots. The sum would be as- sessed on the property owners, he said, and encourage building. The amount was voted. For Sherman strest sewer the sum of $400 was asked, and Dr. N. B. Lew- is, health officer, sald this was an im- provement which would be of advant- age to that section of the city. For cemetery department $7,600 was voted, same &5 last year, Fire Department Gets Sum Asked For. Alderman Beckley explained the need of $32,000 for the fire department, $1,- 000 more than last year. There was an advance in men’s pay aggregating over $700, no new fire alarm boxes, no new horses, $400 for new apparat ed on the figures of last year. On the us. He read a detaiued statement of things based on the figures of last year. On the last year appropriation of $31,- 000 ther was 58 cents left over. The amount asked was voted just as the fire alarm test for 8.30 struck. Mr, Jensen explained that he believed this failure to pay had been occasion- ed through shortage of money for pay- rolls and mnot through any intention to disregard the vote. Mr. Jensen argued to defer both this appropriation and the next of $6,563.04 for general sinking fund and when the vote was taken the first item was killed, but the second was passed. For salaries $4,750 was voted and $8,175 was asked for courthouse, be- cause the mayor said extensive re- pairs were needed and $1,000 would be the share of the city. The figure was approved. Corrections in Gas & Electric Figures. For gas and electric light sinking fund $10,615.02 was asked. Mr. Jen- sen claimed that the correct amount should he $11,935.38 and this amount was approved. For gas and electric department de- preciation fund the figure was $14,- 538.71, which Mr. Jensen corrected to $15,925.53 and this was voted after Mayor Murphy had ‘had Clerk Moore read a letter from John McWilllams in which he wrote that the commis- sloners before the board was enlarged had estimates prepared, but declined to give an estimate as they were the minerity members of the commission- ers and dldn’t suppose their figures would be worth while, John McWilliams Explains. Mr, MeWilliams was given eppor- tunity to explain further and when lie stated that the mayor had the com- mission enlarged for “purely political reasons,” the mayor's gavel descended with & bang and Mr. McWilliams was tolg te confine himself (o the sub- ject. He said he didn't wasl (o dic- lute to the hoard hy submiiting fis ures, AMr, Jensen teek part in troversy and told the mayer aeting enly as a private ¢ilizen was nel representing the former gas eommissioners. $61,000 for interest, $1,000 more than last year, was voted. Loans new which were once 4 1-2 per cent. interest were to le 3 per cent. For election expense $598, for temporary loans $65,000, which s $5,000 mere than last year were veted. Fer milk imspector §1,000, for enes Iy a lively city meeting that filled third Water and Shetugket street loan | were ‘voted. $9,700, and $8,669.68 for contingent This conciuded all the items recom- | mended by the finance committee. The sum of $627.06 unexpended bal- ance was voted for Stony Brook reser- | voir. More Pay for Policemen. | The sum of 327,945 for police de- | partment was asked It was $25,000 \last year. Mayor Murphy read the statement of Alderman McLaughlin of | | ihe police commissioners, which stated there was a_contemplated increase in salaries of 25 cents per day. There iwould be no more police signal sys- tems to install. John H. Barnes designated the polics as hardworking servants for the inter | ests of this community and a w |laughter ran over the audience. | Barnes said tbat the Norwich poli | were thie poorest paid in the state and he thought the figure ought to be ap- | |proved. The Aye vote for the motion la second time. “or eity court $3,800 was $1,150 more than last vear, voted. Street lighting was asked, recom- than last year, but an explanation from the police commissioners was rea. derstanding and the amount was mads $19,000 and voted. Health Department Needs More. For the health department $1,500 waz asked, $300 more than last year, and Dr. Lewis explained that extension of the work in oiling ponds and in_the | anti-fly campaign amounted to $13F, and there would be expense of abouf $150 in connection with the Sunnysida annexation. The item was approved. Less for Gas and Electric. e thousand dollars less than last year was asked for gas and electricil department operating expenses and $135,000 was voted, and also $20,000 in- terest on mortgage bonds. M. E. Jensen Finds $4,600. For park department $4,000 was the | estimate, and M. E. Jensen explained |that he wanted § to be used for a roadway. He said he {bad discovered $4,600 in cash that the |city had but didn’t krow about. This | was because the balance of cash on {hand was given at $4,06004 when it should be $8,722.06. Money Didn’t Reach Sinking Fund. In the finance department the re- | appropriation uf $6,510.92 for the sink- !ing fund brought General Aiken to nis | feet with the statement that he wishe.l | to speak along something of the same iline as Mr, Tracy had tried to bring up | earlier in the evening. He said the net lde\)t of the city was now about $1,- | 386,000, and this meant a burden of | about 3300 to $400 on every voter in | Norwich, or about $64 on every man, woman and child. A question from [ General Aiken brought out the fact | that this appropriation had been voted i but never applied to the sinking fund. General Aiken presented a resolution of disapproval of such action, claiming that it was an obligation to use the money for the purpose for which it was voted. | Dr. Cassidy remarked that this was evidently meant to blame somebodv, and he would like to know who was meant. Voting Down Extras. Jensen, as a ‘“private citizen,” Patrick Cassidy that Mr, answered Dr. thereh ad now been voted about 10 1-2 mills, and the doctor went on to speak of the need of economy and asked the citizens to vote down every one of the :2”rema1nmg extra matters in the call. At the Tequest of Dr. items were read in order. F. A. Robinson spoke for the | of 31,600 for continuing improvement on Sachem street from Uncas street to Yantic street, btu was the only one to vote no on the question to indefinite- ly postpone. Band Concerts Voted Out. After the appropriation of $400 for ‘band concerts had been voted indefi- nitely postponed, A. S. Spalding tried to rescue it from the general slaugh- ter by a vote to reconsider, but this was decisively shouted down in a viva Vvoce vote. | Father and Son Disagree. George W. Pratt spoke for the sum of $3,377 for continuing culvert at Lake street playgrounds, and Dr. P. J. Cassidy argued for it cn the ground of menace to public heaith. Dr. Patrick Cassidy raised a laugh when he said ‘“father and son disa- gree.” He argued agalnst the appro- priation on the ground that there was no knowing what land demages there might cost. A. A. Browning moved to indefinitely postpone, and M. J. Kelley said there was need of disinfectants from the board of health if the appro- priation was not made. The vote to in definitely postpone prevailed. Alderman Gebrath moved approval of $750 for cleaning outlet of Loomis | brook at the West Side depot, and Dr. | Lewis argued for it on the ground of | public heaith. The amount was vot- | ed. $400 For Playgrounds. J. B. Stanton, president of the Nor- wich Playgrounds association argued for the $400 item for Lake street playground, saying that this appropri- ation was a very necessary one and public comfort stations were positive- 1y necessary at the Lake street play- sround. Richard W. Tobin claimed that the chlldren that used the grounds were not Americans and Al- bert Boardman spoke in the interest of the children and the amount for the TLake Street playgrounds. Dr. Patrick Cassidy asked how near this playground was to the terrible pestilential spot spoken of and some one in the audience shouted 50 feet That decided Dr. Cassidy to vote the appropriation, he sald. John M. Lee explained that the nuisance complained of was a much farther distance off. Dr. Cassidy with- drew his objection and the amount was voted. Alderman Beckley spoke for the item of $500 for fire alarm boxes which he said were really needed. Former Councilman Barry, a former fire com- missioner, told of the distance which separated boxes in various parts of the city, which made more needed. The vote was against the appropriation. William H. Shields Urges Economy. After this the ifem of §3,500 for out- slde work In public works department was taken up, $1,500 more than last Cassidy year, William H, Shields eame to his feet to declare vehemently that the meet- ing had fergoiten its idea of econ- omy, was now near 11 mills, and this would make it 13 nfills. Mr, Shields noved to indefinitely postpons, Aldermun Gebraih stated that money more than came baek. Mr. Shields said he couldn’ see the logic of this. Why tax the people to gol it back? Yewll never get it back ag , but it will ceme out of the kets of the taxpayers where there is little emough moeney at present. (Laughter M, Jensen elaimed that the meet- ing had new apprepriated emough to make a 10 4-4 mill tax. He and Mr. ields discussed their greeing ures, and it was feund that Mr, Bhields had ineiuded one amouat that had net been veted, 2 It was yeted to indefinitely pomte this l *| Ph | Was doubted and had to be called for | and was | jmended at $15.000, which is $3,000 less | stating® that there had been a misun- | 500 more, which was | the | item | pone after the vote had called. A vote to approve the appro] ions and to lay a city tax of 10 3-4 mills was passed by Corporation Counsel Fanning casting the affirmative bal- lot. . The compensation of the tax col- lector was made one per cent. sApproval was noted of a deed ex- changing land with Charles Bard in relation to the Washington street en- trance to Mohegan park, and of a deed for a remote portion of the La- re farm for land lying near Meadow Brook reservoir. The meeting adjourned a few min- utes after 10 o'clock, TO ACADIA UNIVERSITY. Joseph A. Ambler, of ‘Norwich, Will Be Member of Faculty of Nova Sco- tia College.
