A haif dozen women were numbered amonz those present. Mayor Allyn Erown called the meeting 1o crder at 8.10_o'clock. After_the resolution had been read, Mayor Brown said that the matter was one for the council to settle, but as there appeared to be some sentiment against the project it was decided to hold a hearing so that any interested would have a chance to be heard City Barn Property Valuable. The mayor said the ity barn is lo- cated right in the center of the city and really constitutes a very valuable picce of property. The city barn does not provide room encugh for all the azons and tools and the needs of the lepartment do not grow less as time goes on. The mayor said it was ap- parent that there is real nesd for a place where the city’s wagons, etc. can be properly stored. The matte: had been brought bLefore the council through the Thames street widening which is about to be started. The eity has purchased buildings there in con- nection with the widening and these buiidings will have to be torn down, and the mayor said it was felt that the material from these buildings could be used for the construction of bufldings to accommodate the wagons, etc., own- ed by the city. pointed out that the only two aviflable places are the city dump, Hollyhock Island, and the Lake street grounds.

FEDERATED PASTOR SPOKE AT THERMOS SHOP MEETING Rev. A. W. Burdon Discussed the De- velopment of Character. The Develonment of Character was the subject which Rev. A. W. Burdon, pastor of the Federated church spoke on at the shop meeting held at the Thermos Bottle Co, on Wednesday noon under the auspices of the Y. M. {C. A. Rev. Mr. Burdon pointed out fhat when a man finds himself Hving the wrong kind of life he has a ten- dency to blame his environments, but these do not necessarily affect a man’s character. Whatever & man is he is responsible fort it. A man can be what he wills to be i he wills to have his own Way his life will be a failure. If he determines to parallel his will with the will of God, his life wil be a success. Every man should strive to live at his best. Hugh Kinder in fine voice rendered two solos.

A, Local The delesates from this city who at- tended the state Older Boys' confer- ence which was held in New Britain last week met in the board room at the Y. M. C. A, and discussed certain phases of the conference which im- pressed the mthe most and discussed the reports which they will give to the organization which they represented at the conference. Rev. H.

PendletonfUr., left for New York Wednesday night by boat where Could Erect Wocden Buitdings. Mayor Brown said the building of sheds would be of no material cost to the city. Fe said he understood that the Lake street playgrounds are not in the fire limits and that wooden bui:d- Ings eould be erected there. That the city dump is within the fire limits and bulldings erected there would have to comply with the ordinance. He said the present city barn might far better be used for some other pur- pose. That the suggestion had been made that it be devoted to the gas and electric department, but that was not Ehe question to be decided at the meét- ng. The question was whether the property be used for the purpose set torth in_the resolution. Petitions Pro and Con. Clerk Arthur G. Crowell then read two commurications addressed to the council. The first was a communica- tion from the Central Labor union, signed by the president and secretary, and expressing the sentiment of the union members as against the resolu- tior to estanlish the city barn on thé Lake street grounds. The second communication was in the form of a petition from property holders jn the vicinity of the Take street grounds in which they asked the removal of the playgrourds to sorpe other site. It was signed by Lewis fi Church and a score of others. Mayor Brown said he takes consid- erable interest in the playgrounds movement and approves it, but that there was a question whether the ben- efit derived by using the property as a playground during the short play- ground period of the year would out- weigh the benefit to the public works committee, who would use the property throughout the entire year. At the request of Councilman Bab- cock, the clerk read the names of those wh» signed the petition asking the re- moval of the plavgrounds. Mayor Brown then declared the hearing oven. Arthur F. Libby suggested that those favoring the removal of the play grounds he heard first and those favor- Ing its retention last. The suggestion was carried out. Lewis R. Church was the first to be heard. He said he was not present to decide the placing of ‘he city barn, but was there to object to the playground, which he characterized as a nuisance. I don’t object to having the play- grounds, by any means, but I think there are other places for it, he said. President Stanton Heard. John B. Stapton, president of the Norwich Playgreunds association, was the second to be heard. He said he represented the officers and members of the playgrounds association who are not in favor of the project to establish the barn on the Lake street grounds. He said that when the playgrounds movement was started an attempt was made to have grounds on Franklin strec® park. The suggestion was made that they go to Lake street. There the grounds were not Jn_condition. With the co-operation of the pubiic works committee, the grounds have been placed in proper condition. Trees have been set out and some of them have from thefr homes. He said in_his opinion wooden buildings on Lake street would increase the fire hazard. He thought that the ity dump should be used. Wooden buildings could be built there as two-thirds of the dump is out of the fire limits. Labor Union Pfesident Speaks ‘William J._ Fitzgerald, president of the Central Labor Union and author of the resolution presented to the council favoring the retention of the playgrounds, said he was there to pro- test against the taking of the play- grounds from the children. He said the Central Labor Union has always given the playsrounds its moral sup- port. He talked with several mothers who told him the Lake stret play- ground was a God-gend for they know that when their children are there, they are properly cared for. He said the playgrounds movement is not a new one. He said the taking of the Lake street grounds would drive the children into the streets, possibly down to the railroad track and the river bank. Mr. Turner was next heard. He said he was owned property in_that section for years. He spoke of,the wooden buildings increasing the fire hazard. He sald the risk is bad enough at present and_that the rates have been increased 25 per cent. He thought a piece of property changed from a_sewer ground to a playsround ousht to be let alone. Greeneville Pastor For Playgrounds. Rev. Charles H. Ricketts, pastor of the Greeneville Congregational church, spoke of the support he has always given the playground mov ent. ‘Some years ago when play- ground movement was_started I did what I could to fosterithe movement. There are some sections where there is no place for the children but the street. The street is no place for them to play. Ten years ago the risk was great. Today it is far greater because of the automobiles. Every- one’s child is worth somethins, far more than all the barns this city can erect. He hoped the council would not pass the resolution. - Care for the Children. Following Rev.. Mr. Ricketts, Rev. E. S. Worcester, pastor of the Broad way Congregational church, spoke a few words. He sald no onme could speak more heartily than he on the re- moval of the ash carts and oil wagons from their present location in the street alongside the city barnm, but that the taking of the Lake street grounds would be returning the chil- dren to the streets. Let us care for the children by all means. Should Consider ng Generation. Charles D. Noyes spokc briefly in favor of ‘the retention of the play- ground. He said he has always had the interest of our playgrounds strorg- Iy ot heart. Mr. Noyes sald the coun- cil was deing something for the city’s good by removing the barn from its present location, but that they should pay due heed to the needs and require- ments of:.the rising generation. The boys and ‘girls of today are the men and women of tomorrow, he continued. In concluding his remarks he said he knew of no place as good as Lake street for a playground. Norwich ought to have civic pride enough to hold on to what it has, said Rev. C. A, Northrop, city missionary. and that he would resret exceedinzly 8s a citizen to have this good work killed. No Place to Play- Miss Mary McKay, supervisor of the local playsrounds, said that Lake street was the largest and most suc- cessful of the playgrounds. It is lo- cated in a very .thickly settied part of the city. The. childzen have 1o yards and must piay somewhere. Ske said they go to the playground early in the morning and returr after dinner, stay- ing until late in the afternoon through- out the season. It is the only place where baseball can oe plaved. Miss McKay said the records show that the daily attendance averages 120 chil- dren. Mohegan park, she said, is too far away, for the attendance at the ground is made up of children between the ages of 4 and 12 years. She said there had been no complaints of dam- age received. The associotion, che said, -would he very glad to receive complaints and to repair damage. In closing she suid she hoped the play- ground would be left for the children. Speaking in favor of the play- ground, Robert McNeely said: I am the r of four chiliren and I wouldn’t give any of them for aly the Aump carts or watering*carts in the city. Children are valuable. He said he hoped the facts related at the hearing would be given due consideration. Would Be Detriment to Property. James P. Sheridan spoke of the playgrounds movement as a _great thitg. He said he has three children, two old enoush to attend the play- ground, and he said he did not want them playing in the street. He said he thought the erection of a city barn on Lake street would be a- detriment to_the property there. Dr. P. J. Cassidy said he always had an_interest in the playgrounds from their beginning and he spoke of their educational value. Edward J. Graham, superintendent of public schools, said it seemed to him that as there is no other ground avail- able for a playground that it would be too bad to give up the present ground for the purpose in mind. He said very serious consideration ought to be glven the question and he hoped the M7A. BARBER, St « Engine Repairs. school auditorium this evening.

Received Federal Appointment. lived, and ‘he value of the land has been enhanced. Mr. Stanton said that no complaints have been made to the association for damages resulting through the presence of the playgronnd on Lake street and no claims have been presented, The playgrounds association has measure would not be pasred. Arthur F. Libby said he did not think the playground association is asking too much when they ask the city to devote about two acres of ground for the children. In his opinion it would be a serious mistake to try to build a city barn in what is really a residential section. To. John E. Fanning, wm-u.;'m{pm holder, favored the retention of the | iy ‘vlayground. g and he spoke very vigor- in tavor of the playground. ng wds declared closed at by Mayor Brown and the counci] took a recess at 9.50 to con- sider the matter. A few minutds be- fore 11 o'clock they took ‘their places’ in the council chamber again. % er moved to inde. initely postpone the resolution and his motion was carried. New Resolution Adopted. Allen then introduced the solution which was adopt- Ald follon ed Resolved, That such -part of the tract of land known as Hollyhock Isl- and belonging to the city, as it sees fit, be hercafter devoted.to the uses of the public works department, and said department is hereby authorized to use the same and erect thercon such structures as it may deem neces- sary in the usual course of the busi- ness of its, department. OFFICER MORGAN CAPTURED SLICK SNEAK THIEF Man’s Actions on : Franklin Street Aroused His. Suspicions Early This Morning. The quick eye ofvOfficer Myron O. Morgan landed a sneak thief in a cell at police headquarters about 1 o'clock this (Thursday) morning. Officer Morgan saw the man on Franklin street and as he acted suspicious he followed him down to Main street. The man headed for Shetucket street and Officer Morgan notified Captain D. J. Twomey at police headquarters. Captain Twomey ordered Officer Mor- gan to place: the man under arrest. At police headquarters he gave the name of Fred Farrell, his age as 26 years and his home as Providence. A search revealed”the following articles concealed on his person: iwo stick pins, pearl handled knife, gold cuff links, a gold watch and chain, fancy souvenir axe, two razors, a shavinz brush a ladies’ pocket book, small red stamp book. Most of the articles have been iden- tified as property of John L. Gillan of Main street. They were taken from his room Wednesday afternoon be- tween 2 and 3 o'clock. At the same time- several stick pins and a ring and other articles were taken from the room of Mrs. A. J. Blackburn who re- sides”in the same building. The pock- etbook and the small red stamp book have been identified as her property. The man also had a pair of gloves on his person which it is thought were taken from a local office on Tuesday. The capture of the man who is classed as a slick worker, was a good move on the part of Officer Morgan. TRINITY M. E. CHURCH LADIES HOLD SALE.

Judge Brown Favored Resolution. Judge Lucius Brown spoke in favor of the passage of the resolution. He said the city barn as it now exists is & noisance. It is at the front door of Broadway church, It is extremely in-. efficient. There is an immediate de- mand that this nuisance be removed end now is the opportune time.
