The meeting was called to order by Mayor Dunn at 8 o'clock and the min- utes of the last meeting were read and accepted. Attorney W. A. King was present at the meetips'and asked if anything bad been ddhe in resard to the purification gf the water supply of the city of which he spoke at a past meeting. He was told tnat tho water committee had the matter under consideration ‘and that a report would be made as soon ble. It was then decided that the fules governing the . board of aldermen should remain as they were during the past vear. The mayor then ap- pointed committees for the en- and they were the same ast year with the exceptibn of the chairman of the street committee.

Another res- olution in which the mayor was in- structed to call a special cify meet- ing for the purpose of having $15,000 appropriated for motorizing of the fire department was then read and accept- ed. Corporation Counsel Kelley ex- plained this resolution by stating that if_ money was to be Bppropriated for this purpose a special meeting was necessary as the date of the adjourn- ed city meeting was to far advanced to mak® this appropriation. The char- ter states that the meeting must be held within ten days after the decis- fon. The next resolution adopted was one in which the mayor should call a special city meeting for the purpose of appropriating $7,000 for the better- meht of the fire alarm system. The water committee was empow- ered to hire an engineer whose pay would not exceed $200 to lay out a plan of water supply that would in- crease the supply of the city so as to take care of 25,000 people. ‘The report on the acceptance of Potter street as a city street was then read and ac- cepted. It was then resolved that the city should have the land surveved and worked and_the new street should be known as Potter strget. A discussion of the fire.alarm sys- tem of the city was then held and much was said in regard to the money and how it should be raised for .the betterment of this system. After much discussion on this question it was decided that the board should adopt the resolution whereby the sys- tem will be improved and put in first class condition. The clerk was then authorized to go ahead and have notices printed for a special city meeting that will be held next Monday. At this meeting it will be endeavored to have $22,000 appro- priated for the purpose of fixing the alarm system and for.the motorizing of the fire department. It was first thought that $10,000 would be suff- cient to motorize the department but upon investigation it was decided that $15,000 would not be any too much if the work is to be done.completely. A mgtion was then made and adopt- ed whereby the police committee is. to investigate into the police signal sys- tem and report at the next meeting of the board. If this work is to be done at the same time as the fire alarm system is being fixed a special meet- ing of the board will in all probability be called_after the special city meet- ing next Monday night. It was then declded that the clerk should notify the American Thread company what is being done in regard to the purification of the water sup- ply of the city. The meeting adjourn- ed at 9.45.

Howard, Civil War Veteran, Died in Willimantic Dec. 2. Willimantic, Conn., Dec. 11.—Henry { A. Howard, a civil war veteran, whose name was engraved on a silver ring found on the battlefield of Cedar Creek, Va, and now in possession of Captain Fred G. Hastings of New Ha- ven, died in this city on December 2 of the present year. A story from New Haven was to the effect that the ring came into the pos- lsion of a Strassburg, Va, woman a {long time ago and that she had sent it recently to Captain Hastings with the wish that it be returned to rela- tives of Howard. Howard enlisted in Company G, 12th Connecticut Volunteers, served three years and then re-enlisted. He was wounded at Cedar Creek. After being mustered out in 1865 he came to this city and had lived here ever since. South Windsor——At the annual : , Syril k.

London, Dec 11. § p. m.—The Asso- ciated Press has reccived from Amstor- dam an “appeal to the Amsrican peo- ple” by the Holland section of the League of Neuiral States. The appeal is signed by President Niemeyer and Secretarics Delafaille and Walch. It follows: ‘Your president has said that sooner or later a moment would como when the war would make tie position of neutral nations ugbearable. For us Hollanders tha: moment has arrived; not through our own sufferings, but because ‘we canneot longer contemplate the ghastly r flicted by Gerany upon Belgium, our neighbor. “The eloquent protests of the Bel- zian government and of the Ligher clergy have acquainted you with the facts. A glance at tie section of The Hague regulations of 1937 wkich deals with the iaw of war cn Jand will nake it obvious to you that the sole reason why the prohibition of this modern clave-dealing was not included was because no delegate jmagined it could ever be necessary. “Indeed, one must turn 1o tho his- tory of the early ages of long past centuries before international law ex- isted to find a parallel to the enslaving of the Belgians. The fague regula- tions stipulate that ‘the homor and rights of the family must be rcspact- ed; but the German governmest lelib- erately drags the Delgian - families apart. To us this cruelty is more vivid every day. Every day numbers of fugitives, in spite of the deadly electric wire which the Germans have crected along the frontier, succced in escaping to The Netheslands. Jrom them we learn the painful details of the unutter- abie despair of the women and chil- cren who are left behind and of the agonizing scenes which take place when husbands, brothers and son dragged from their hemes and wome folk, are packed into cattle and freight cars, and thus transported siaves to an unknown destination and {o an un- known fate. “To put an end to this—to arrest this hellish scourge, what tiis moment lacerates the whole of northern France and western Russla—there is Jut only one way open, and that is collective action on the part of the neutral na- tions. “And for you, citizens of the might- fest of the neutral states, it is, in our opinion, the rizht and duty to take the leadership upon vou. Only if you! place yourselves at oar head can any success ccown our efforts. This tyran- ny is not to be borne in paticnce and the neutral nations can no _onger stand 1dly by while in western Europe | the most primitive laws of lumanity. nbserved' even by uncivilized races, are trampled under foot. “We appeal to you to urge your government to energetic and decisive action and to call upon the other neu- tral naticns to rally around you. That they will find faith ard strensth in your leadership is evidenced by the stream of messages expressive of sym- pathy and a desire to co-operate Which have reached us from the moment we published our intention to make this appeal to the American people. ~d do_not hesitate to take It wpon our- selves to speak with firm ednviction in the name of humanity and our hope is firmly fixed on that sense of jedtics which has always formed one Of the most cherished traditions of citizéns of the United States.
