Home-made, NORWICH BUCLETIN, FRIDAY, JUNE 18, sl HEARINGS BEFORE COMMON COUNCIL Permission Granted to Change Trolley Track Location—New Sidewalk Grade on Section of Sachem Street Established —A. S. Comstock Ratified as President of Water Board —-Alderman Cebrath Answers Questions About Street Department. ‘Two hearings which had been ap- Pointed upon matters contained in pe- titions to the common council were held at a meeting of the council on Thursday evening which was called tt;. order at 8.10 by Mayor T. C. Mur- phy. The roll call by Clerk A. G. Crow- ell showed Councilman Hugh Kind- er absent. In the spectators’ seats ‘were about a dozen citizens. Returns of notice of the hearing served upon the Connecticut company and the Shore Line Electric company were read by Clerk Crowell. The first hearing was upon their pe- tition for relocation of the trolley track in Sachem street from Uncas street to Lafavette street and Civil Engineer S. B. Palmer appeared for the Shore Line company, saying that the plan presented was practically the same as that prepared for the public works company. In answer to a_question from City Engineer George E. Pitcher, Mr, Pal- mer said that the poles were to be 35 foot poles. Mr. Pitcher said the pe- tition was to bring te track to the center of Sachem street from Uncas to Lafayette. Mr. Pitcher said there was an old turnout in Lafayette street that he thought the company should be obliged to take out. It had not been used for years. There are two poles whose location should be changed and Mr. Pitcher said that the public utili- ties commission all through the state is trying to get a joint line of poles and in this case this would require a 40 foot pole on the south side of the street and one 40 foot pole on the north side. The 35 foot pole would not properly provide for the fire alarm telegraph arm on the poles which the public utilities commission has now decided ought to be the lowest arm instead of the top arm on the pole, leaving the top arm for the high ten- sion line. Mr. Palmer answered that the com- pany intended to abandon the old turnout in Lafayette street and take up the old rails. He also thought that there would be no objection to moving the poles mentioned a foot or two as suggested. This closed the hearing and on mo-, tion of Alderman Henry Gebrath the petition was voted granted and the plan approved with the modifications suggested. Sachem Street Sidewalk Grade. The hearing on the sidewalk grade on the southerly side of Sachem street in front of the property of the Falls Company, and Mrs. John H. Wilson, was taken up. The sidewalk is to be 6 feet wide. City Engineer Pitcher explained that a grade had never been established from Yantic street to Lafayette street The grade was =established by vote of the council as recommended. Water Board President Approved. Councilman William S. Murray pre- sented the report of water comm sioners upon the election of A, S. Com stock as president. The election was approved by the council and the com- pensation of the president was fixed at $300 for the year. Petitions Presented. Alexander Shakun petitioned to con- nect 627 North Main street with the public sewer by means of a private drain. It was referred to the pub- lic_works committee. Petition for a street lisht Coit street was made by Leahy and three others. It was refer- red t» the police commissioners. Petition for an extra light near 98 Peck street. It was made by B. So- dinsky and others. This was referred to the police commissioners. Compensation For Injuries. The sum of $125 to Eva P. Jewett was voted for claim for injuries by 1975 stumbling on an alleged defective sidewalk on Broad strcet. The sum of $200 to Lyman W, Whit- ing was voted for his claim for in- Jjuries by a fall on Central avenue. To T. J. Kelly attorney for Mrs. Helen A. Moriarty the sum of $150 was voted to be paid for her injuries from a fall on Broadway. Special Constables.

Elliott, Benjamin F. Brewster, John D. Dono- hue, Kive Swartzburg, Charles C. Williams, Daniel T. Shea, Christopher Barry, John Duff, John D. Palmer, James D'Atri, J. A.

Con- nell. Clerk Crowell read the amounts that had been voted for the depart- ments in the city meeting on Tuesday evening, and it was voted to print them in the journal. They showed a total of $528,003.39. Aledrman Gebrath’s Statement. ‘When the street commissioners’ monthly report was presented it was read by the clerk, but before that was done, Alderman Henry Gebrath’s statement in justice to the street de- partment and in answer to a gentle- man, who, in the city meeting, had pointed out a discrepancy of $115 be- tween what was paid ten men in June 1913 and what was paid them in Au- gust of the same year. The alder- man said this was because there were five payrolls included in June but only four in August as the report did not go to the exact calendar month. Street Commissioners’ Report.

John Poreda of this city was placed on trial in the criminal court of com- mon pleas in New London Thursday morning, charged with _intoxication and resisting an officer. The case was appealed from the city court here. Poreda was arrested last Januaery by Officer Matthew Delaney for intoxica- tion and when the officer attempted to take him into custody Poreda resisted. The accused was given a hearing in the city court and found guilty, from Wwhich an appeal was taken. Thursday morning, through a Polish interpreter, Poreda pleaded not guilty to both charges. The police officer was the first witness and told of seeing the accused stagger along the street above the Preston bridge between two com- panions. Later he came upon the three further up the street, and Poreda was staggering and hollering. They were blocking the sidewalk, and when he told them to move on the accused shed him with both hands, saving: Yourself move, yourseif move.” He took him into custody after some diffi- culty and with the assistance of two men Poreda was placed in a wagon and taken to the police station while he was yelling all the way. At the police station the captain of police had to help put him into a cell. The case occupied all day and wae not finished when court adjourned. Attorney Roderick M. Douglass ap- peared for the accused and the prose- cuting attorney was assisted by City Attorney John D. Hall of this city. . Capt. D. J. Twomey, Sergt. John H. Kane and Policeman Michael Carroll are witnesses in the case. The case against Abraham Bronstein of New London was nolled Thursday on terms, the same being the practical settlement of the fine imposed by the New London police court—$50.

The cropping out of several cases the city mection Dr, N. B. Lewis, the health officer, has gent samples of the city water from both Stony Brook reser- voir and Fairview reservoir direct from the reservoirs near the gates to the state chemist to be examined. Re- ports on the condition of the water are expected this week. In view of the poor taste and colot that the water has had lately, it was thought advisable to have the city wa- ter tested. There are eight cases of typhold fever in all, some on the West Side, some in Greeneville, one on Foxy hill and others elsewhere. A Greenjviile man, wife and 11-months'-old nujsing baby are confined in the tal, where they are receiving treatmerdt. One possible explanation of time is in the fact that so many peo. ple have recently abandoned city water and have taken to using water from springs or wells in their neighborhood or water supplied from outside the city. It is very possible that in this way water infected with typhoid germs may have come into use where it was not used before. The city health officer has also made the suggestion that the typhoid may have come from milk. He stated that recently there were several per- sons in a hotel affected because of the milk used and that the family being treated at the hospital used milk from the same dairyman. It looks probuble to the officer that milk is respongible for the disease now affecting Norwich residents, ilk Inspector’s Views. The statement regarding the sible infection from milk brought ift & rejoinder Thursday evening from Dr. D. J. Shahan, the milk inspector. Dr. Shahan said: “In tracing the source of typhoid i fection, there is a lack of system, method, and concerted action, among the health protectors, effi¢ial and otn- erwise of this c When such a gis- ease exists here, and the health offi- cer is notified to that effect, I believe the milk inspector should be notified, and that both get into immediate touch with the producers and their premises, and have the water with which they rinse or wash their cafs, examined at once. It is of no conke- quence to assert that our milkmen are the probable spreaders of the disease, and then forthwith hasten to examine the brand of our city reservoir, fn- stead of the suspected farms. Before making any haphazard assertion that a certain milkman is the probable cause of this trouble, 'twere much preferable and more charitable, to first analyze the water he uses in his bus- iness. 'Tis true that this man referred to on Thursday, was supplying the hotel concerned, with milk. But, the guests of that establishment had not been living on milk alone, but on other canned goods too. In fagt, the only individual there that was living on milk alone, supplied by this same peddler, was a baby, who wis not affected at all. However, to settle the question on May 25th (ult.) the hotel people sent the milk inspector a bottle of the suspected poison, and on the following morning samples were taken from four different cans of the same milkman, and, after proper pre- cautions, expressed to the state bac- teriological laboratory, for immediate analysis. This is the reply received concerning them: s “‘Such examination as we have been able to make has not been of a char- acter to put suspicion on any of these samples, although sample No. 5 was not a very satisfactory one.’ “Milk possibly is a great germ-car- rier, and many milkmen are not over- intelligent or discriminate in bandling it. Yet, I do not think that we shouid pronounce against anyone specificaily until we have solid grounds to stand| on. You may suspect any man of al: most anyvthing, nowadays, but you'd better, first, in the words of Davy Crockett, ‘be sure you're right, and then go ahead’ For the benefit of the public at large, I would advise all to pasteurize their milk before us- ing it as a drink, or as a food for bottle-fed babies. Milk s practically pasteurized by bringing it to a boil; ing point.” Dr. Shahan further said that he had been in communication Thursday ev- ening with the milkman referred to as supplying both the hotel and the Greeneville family with milk and the milkman stated that he did not de- iver milk any farther than Oakridge street while the family affected with typhoid lives a number of streets above. that in Greeneville. The milk-| man was asked by Dr. Shaban if any| of the families along his route had typhoid fever and was told that there were none. MUST STAND TRIAL IN SUPERIOR COURT Jacob Jones, Who Used Knife in New London, Is Bound Over. After being presented in the police court at New London on Thursday morning on the charge of assault with intent to kill, probable cause was found against Jacob Jones, a negro, and he was held for trial in the su- perior court in September. He went to jail to await trial as he could not furnish a bond. Jones was one of a party who came to New London Wednesday afternoon en route to Newport News, Va. after having delivered a lot of horses in England, the negroes returning by way of Montreal. He was charged with assaulting John Johnson, another negro of the party of hostlers, with the intention of killing him.
