Before that date, there will be ample time to adopt or frame a charter that shall meét the requirements and be;down approved by the citizens. Two years ago, when a similar plan ‘was on foot for conselidation, and put in the form of an amendment to the city charter, it was found that too lit- tle pnbllcRy ‘was given, for the petition should have been published _three weeks prior to the ’Ruuns of the general assembly. is year ample leeway has been provided by advertis- ing as early as the last week in No- vember, City En‘ln.t.r Pitcher said Monday that he is surprised at the pecple who have expressed themselves in favor of GENERAL AIKEN ELECTED. Made Vice President of Connecticut Civil Service Reform Associataion in Bridgeport Monday Night. “Civil service reform is rolling on- ward and even though hypocrites ave behina it they are paying the saine kind of compliment hyprocisy is said to pay to virtue,” declared William H. Taft in a speech Monday night at the annyal dinner of the Connecticut Civil Reform association in the Strat- field hotel, Bridgeport. Preceding Mr. Taft's address were speeches by Mayor Clifford Wilson, Governor-elect Marcus H. Holcomb and Charles G. Morris, president of the state civil service commission. Arthur, R. Kimball of Waterbury, presided. “T am Mflnt tired of reform that isn't practical” he began. “Most re- forms are practical only for getting votes. - There are three distinct flelds for the meérit system. These are the federal, state and municipal. “Governor Holcomb says that he doesn’t want his appointments cur- tailed but I think that before his term is ended he will change his mind. Hec :lll tated that one of uv-u-mf of the petition agent to see the repre- sentatives in an effort to head off the matter. The chief difficulty here, City Engineer Pitcher says, is that the con- cern does not understand the proposi- ton, for as far as the rate of taxation is concerned it will be decreased in- stead of being increased. The question of consolldation has been before Norwich for the last 20 years and it has always been turned se the people haven't un- derstood the difference between con- solidation and annexation, the city en- gineer sald. In anmexation, as in the case of Sunnyside, the annexed dis- trict comes into_the c¢ity and pays the same tax regardless of privileges. but in eonsolidation the taxes are accord- ing to_the privileges received. Some cities have two rtaes, others three f|insialment. The leading role is well fix the zones or dividing lines between the taxation districts. CONSUMERS’ LEAGUE'S WORK.
