COMPELLED CIRCUS PEOPLE TO GIVE PARADE. Norwich Officials Ihsisted on Parade If Afternoon Performance Was to Be Given, No parade, no afternoon perform- ance—was the dictum that Mayor T C. Murphy, President James C. Mac- pherson and H. M. Lerou of the Board ot Trade, First Selectman A. W. Lil- libridge and Town Counsel Thomas W. Shields issued to the Barnum & Bailey corcus management of the greatest show on earth Tuesday after- noon, after an announcement had been made here shortly before noon that| there would be no parade of the cir- cus. After a session in the tent at the| fair grounds, where the circus was to| show, which was not without some exciting moments in it, the circus management capitulated and agreed to glve the parade. This was necessarily somewhat ab- breviated because of the lateness of| the hour, but it came through _the| streets about 3 o'clock with three bands of music, a number of riders on horseback, a dozen camels and 21 elephants 'in line, and was seen by big crowds on the streets who had been waiting for it. Because of the late parade, the aft- einocn performance was also late as it| was held up until the parade returned in order not to detract any from the opening grand march of the circus pa- geant. Norwich has never had such a turn- out for circus day as appeared on Tuesday, when ii seemed that all the surrounding towns must have emptied | themselves to pour thousands of peo- ple into the streets of the city. ‘When the men named learned that| there was to be no parade, they went to the fair grounds in H. F. Dawley's automobile, where they indicated em- phatically to the circus management | that the parade must be given or tue license to give the afternoon perform ance would be revoked, aithough the evening show would be permitted. When the Norwich men reached the tent the circus management were not going to allow anybody but Selectmain Lillibridge and Town Counsel Shields to attend the conference, but the other men insisted, and when the major threatened to call Constable Myer Blumenthal the circus managemcat weakened and allowed all to attend. The Norwich men stated that their position was that it was wrong to have the visitors and the city disappointed | about the parade, which had been ad- vertised, rain or shine, and had been the means of bringing many people to | the city for all day. In the afternoon and evening per- formances the oircus had a full tent at each and gave a fine and varied per- formance up to the Barnum standard. The trolley company handled the traveiing crowds with about 30 extra cars on duty. The police department had a full quota of officers on duty Tuesday. There were regular day officers, the night officers and many supernumera- ries. Officer Myron O. Morgan was as- signed as traffic officer at the junction of Main, Broadway and Shetucket | streets, while on Franklin square were Officers Smith, Jacob Vetter, Charies | S. Ebberts, Patrick Murphy, Peter| Dombrowski and Charles Perry. Officer | Ralph Devito took care of the Thames National bank section. Officer John Dorovan was at the Merchants Nation- al bank section, Officer Thomas Mur- Phy was with Officer Frank Hender- son on West Main street, and Officers Edmund Maloney, R, Cowles, Henry B. Fenton, Patrick Murphy, Charl McFadden and Timothy Driscoll were doing yeoman service during the rush. Second Sergeant John Kane assisted at the bank corner during the rush hours and had general supervision of | all on duty. Officer Michael J. Carroll was on duty, both on his moturcycle and on f0o JOSEPH C. KEEGAN AMONG STATE OFFICERS.

They were installed under the guldance of Deputy Grand President James Tevlin of New London as repre- sentative of the grand worthy presi- dent. John H.

Runaway Started Up Central Vermont A horse owned by Hyman Frank of Montville was struck by a train and instantly killed on the tracks of the Central Vermont Tuesday morning at 11.48. The horee was standing in front of Hertz Brothers’ news stand on Thames square when the wagon to which it was attached was hit by an automebile, The horse started en a run (uv\l.rdl the station at the junction of C street, Tearing up the track the ane imal left the wagon caught In the frog of a switch and har reached the wash house near the tannery when it was struck by the train, The trein was rounding a curve and before the engineer saw the animal, the engine struck it, instantly killing it.

C. Murphy called it to order shortly after 8 o'clock. Within a few minutes after the meeting opened this number had been increased by about 50 men. The tax laid is one mill more than the common council had recommended and is one-quarter of a mill more than the city tax of last year. Of the amounts in estimated expenses rec- ommended by the common council all were voted and one was increased by $1,500. This was the appropriation for fire department which was raised by the meeting from $34,500 to $36,- Of the extras which were included in the call for the meeting and which in_fifteen items, only These totalled $11,- five were voted. 298. After Mayor Murphy had called the meeting to order and the call had been read by City Clerk Stephen D. Moore, the estimates were taken up separate- Iy on motion of Corporation Counsel Joseph T. Fanning. As the various items were brought up Mayor Murphy had the last year figures at hand, usually giving the fig- ures for each year as the items came up in order. The first was for $32.000 for ordi- nary repairs, last year $33,000. Wanted Ordinary Repairs Cut. Frank T. Comstock asked what the appropriation was two years ago and was told it was 29,0000 He sald he understood the extra money was for the side streets and he thought these could wait a year, while something to show be done on the main streets. He amended the amount to $29.000. but it was not seconded. Samuel Crooks of Oak street spoke for the side streets saying that they had to pay taxes and were choking with dust while the main streets were being watered. The $32,000 was voted. The item of outside work, $2,000, was opposed by Samuel Crooks, who amended to make it $1.500. Alderman M. H. Hourigan explained that $3.000 would be received back for this outside work and the mayor and Alderman Gebrath also sald that that $1,500 had been appropriated for qutside work and $1,900 had been re- ceived back in this department Mr. Fanning asked for an explanation of why the amount was made $1,500. The amendment was lost and the original amount voted. No Opposition to These. The following amounts as recom- mended were voted without comment: Garbage and ashes 37,000, last vear $6,500; sewers and catch basins $2,500, same as last year; macadam repairs $7.500, last vear $6.000; oliing and sprinkline $7,000, last year $6,500; parks and trees 32,000, last year 1,500: widening Water and Shetucket streets, unexpended balance $482; re- laying Yantic strcet sewer, $840; new Thames street sewer. $230; department of cemeteries, $7,500, same as last year. Increase for Fire Department. When the appropriation of $34,500 for the fire department, which last year received $32,000, Alderman Thomas H. Beckley, who has been chairman .f the fire commisstoners, made an ex- planation of the reasons why the ad- vance was asked. He said that_the fire commissioners had asked for $36 - 000, which the finance committee had cut down to $34,500. He sald that the men were asking for an increase in pay which would mean about $3,000 more in the expenses of the depart- ment over last years' payroll. They want to be put on a par with the policemen’s pay. Alderman Beckiey went through the estimates and ei- penditures last year, showing how each expenditure had been ithin the amount estimated for it, -although sometimes by a margin of cents. If we get the $34,500, he said, we will deal fairly with the men, but if we get the $36,000 we will increase the wages more nearly to the schedule of the policemen. Former Councilman John H. Ryan seconded the motion, and Edward T. Burke moved to amend the amount io $36,000. John H. Mussell spoke in favor of the increase, as did Mr. Burke in favor of placing the men on the same basis a8 the policemen. Mr. Barke spoke of the long hours of the firemen and described how one man lost his fingers which were frozen to the line of hose at the Marguerito fire and Low the Falls company had to walk to the Swedish church fire be- cause it was dangerous to drive. Albert Boardman seconded the amendment with the understanding | that increase in pay be made. This | proviso brought forth applau W. ‘W. Beckwith spoke for the $86,000, and t was voted with two voices crying ° Appropriations Voted. These department estimates were voted without remark: Police depart- | ment, salaries and expenses, $27,915, same as last year; city court, $3.890, same as last year; street lighting, $19,- 000, same as last year; health depari- ment, $1,600, same as last year; gas and electrical department, $148,000, last | vear $185000: Interest on $400, "OD] bonde, $20,000; park department, $5,- 000, last year $4,500. provements—Franklin Street Widening Voted—$1,500 Added to Appropriation for Fire Department—Will Give thmwhe Firemen Increased Pay They Asked. lowing recommended amounts were voted: General sinking fund, $6,857.5 salaries, $4750, same as -last yaa courthouse, $5,000, last year 38, courthouse insurance, $2,561; -(nkln: fund, gas and electrical, $18,388.48; de- preciation, gas and electrical, $15,10 interest, $60,000, last year $59,000: election expenses, $800, same as last year; temporary loans, $65,000; milk inspector, $1,000, same as last year; one-third Water and Shetucket street loan, $9,600, last year $9400; contin- gent, $9,965.56. Extras. The consideration of the so-called extras was taken up after the items recommended by the common council had been disposed of. Widening of Franklin Street. The first was $8,300 for the widen- ing of Franklin street, which the mayor said he thought ought to be done and that the price was reason- able. J. J. Corkery spoke for it, recalling the time ten years ago when the Bul- letin company gave the city of Nor- wich about 465 square feet of frontage for the widening of Franklin street in the near future, in accordance with a building line from their building down to the Bath street corner. Mr. Corkery described what had already been done in improving about 200 feet of the street and this was an import- ant public improvement wi the ty is obligated to make, moraliy and legally. He said he would present a motion later which would make the pavment fall lightly on the taxpayers. Mr. Hoelck, who lives on the oppo- site side of the street, sald he w: willing to give land on his side of the street to straighten the building line there, and spoke of a building which protruded bevond his anad of the way the sidewalk was blocked. Civil Engineer George FE. Pitcher expizined that the sidewalk on Mr. Hoelck’s side of the street was no- where less than § feet wide. k ~ was voted. Killed Thames Street Improvements The item of $8,533 for Thames street and Thames square pavement and $5,533.80 for West Thames street pavement, were laid on the table af- ter Willlam W. Beckwith had made & vigorous speech against them. He called attention to a postal card he had seen inviting automebile owners to support the measure. He declared this s trying to vote away the money of the middie and working class for the benefit of the trolley road and asked why not let the elec- tric road bear the burden as it was not known yet what could be done in this street. On the last city tax rate he figured that the automobilea owned in Norwich. over 200 in number and valued at $102,105, would pay a tax of $1,097.62, which was about one- eighth of the proposed appropriation. He challenged the knowledge of the Board of Trade as to roads and par- tlcularly as to Hassam pavement and instanced a number of cities in the south and west which are putting in block pavement. He referred to the way had exceeded other sections of the city in the building of new dwelling houses, which had been built to the extent of $150,000 in the last few years and declared that even Heaven would be reached by passing through some most unpleasant ways. As he con- cluded by stating that this was the opening wedge for the expenditure of from $100,000 to $150,000 in this street for the benefit of the railroad, he was applauded and the meeting voted to lay both matters on the table. It was a viva voce vote, which the mayor called for twice before he declared the result. Sachem Street Improvement. The sum of $1,618.20 was voted for cortinuing the Sachem street improve- racnt from Uncas street to Yantic street. F. A. Robinson made the mo- tion Thamesville tien and Civil Engineer Pitcher ex- plained the conditions in regard to this street. Mr. Robinson said the ETOperty owners were anxious to lay granolithic pavements, but this street improvement needed to be done first. When Mr. Ryan learned that t sums already voted were fast ap- proaching an eleven mill tax, he moved t> have all the other items indefinitely postponed. He was the only one who voted for it and it was declared lost. Five hundred dollars was voted for La street playground, but $2,876 for revement on Broad street from Me- Kinley avenue to Warren street was indefinitely postponed. Drain Fanning’s Pond. Civil Engineer Pitcher explained the item of $500 for draining Fanninz’s pernd, which was approved of by state, ccunty and city health officers, and described how a property owner there is to build a private sewer to dra‘n Fanning's pond, and it will be economy now for the city to do this work. The som was voted. The sum of $380 for Harrisen ave- nue sewer was voted after Civil Eni- neer Pitcher had shown how some | ccllars In that sectlon received sew- age and that the six inch sewer pipe will be replaced by a ten inch pipe, Indefinitely Postponed. Indefinite pestponement was the fate | of $5,877 for continuing culvert at Lake street playground, $460 for band con- certs, $860 for wall for Charles Burton on North Main street, $815 for Rose place pavement, $1500 for extending In Finance Department.

Would Not Hear Reconsider Claim. Thomas M. Shields was on his feet to put a motion regarding the Burton matter, but was not noticed by the mayor until the vote had been taken ; on the matter. Then he wished to put a motion to reconsider, but was mot allowed to on a point of order raised by Willlam W. Beckwith and Corpora- tion Counsel Fanning. Later Mr. Cor- | kery made a_motion for reconsidera- | tion, so that Mr. Shields might have a chance to speak on the matter, but the | meeting voted against it. On the Union street macadamizing Felix Callahan spoke and said that| there were just as good arguments for | it as could be made for many of the things that had already been voted and | he moved that it be the sense of tae mecting that the matter be put in next vear's estimat Corporation Counsel Fanning offered the resolution authorizing the appro- priations, and a tax of eleven mills wes laid. The compensation of the tax collect or was made one per cent. of the amount collected. Tax abatements totalling $188.50 a.d 33 for street sprinkling were abai- ed. There were 33 names in the first list and § in the latter. The meeting sanctioned a deed from the city to George E. Fellows of mall strip of land on Lake street, then adjourned about 9. cl MEETING AT WILLIMANTIC CAMP GROUND. Woman's Home Missionary Socisty of Norwich District of Methodists.
