Bob Ott and his merry mirth offered Six Little Taylors as thore opening bill for the week at the Davis theatre Monday. Six Little Taylors is a very clever musical farce with just a thread of a story woven tozether with twenty musical numbers, some and some sentimental. Bob Ott somewhat different comedian and the droll comedian had the audicnce laughing on &1 of his appearances. His style is original. and his clean witty humor was enjoved from thé rise of the curtain fo the finish. Mw. Ott has a very fine singing voice which is rarely found among @>medic ans today. He is very well support. ed and the chorus sing well and dance well. The costumes by the lady princ tipals were of notice, and the feat- ness, and newness of the elaborate Item—Sale of Fireworks, At the May meeting of the court of common council in the council chamber on Monday evening Mayor Allyn L. Brown announced that he will recom- mend to the finance committee that the salary of the city treasurer be sum- stantially reduced, and that the sale. of fireworks, guns and all explosives will be restricted within the limits of the city during the duration of the war. The mayor's message to the coun- cil was as follows: Because of the state of war which exists in our country, and particularly Lecause of the location of a large arms manufacturing plant in the cen- ter of the city, I have come to the conclusion that the sale and use of firecrackers, fireworks ond all ex- plosives, upon the Fourth of Juiy, should be carefully controlled. I have been in communication_with the fire commissioner of New York city, and with the mayors of four of the larger cities of Connecticut, to ascertain what action 1s being taken in other cities along this line, upder the pre: ent conditions. I have learned that either the sale and use of these things have been entirely forbidden, during the continuance of the war, or at least largely restricted. That there may be no imisunderstanding upon the part of the local dealers particu- larly, I call the attentlon of all to the ordinances of the city which relate to this subject. Law Provides a Fine. Section 14 of Chapter 6 of the city ordinances provides, “No person or persons shall fire any swivel, musket, fowling-piece, pistol, or other gun of any description within sald city at a less distance than fifty rods from any dwelling house, or public highway, of street, without written permission from the mayor or one of the alder- men of said city; and every person %0 offending shall, for every such of- fense, forfeit and pay for the use of said city the sum of three dolars. * * * And Section 15 provides, “No per- £on or persons shall sell, or offer to sell. or have or sale, or give, or dis- tribute, to any person or persons within’ said city any rocket or rock- _-_— City Treasurer Charles S.

Under these provisions it is my purpose, if not to entirely prohibit the sale and use of guns, pistols, cannon, fireworks, firecrackers, and ' all exs plosives, upon the Fourth of July or wny other day, during the duration of the present war, within the sity lim- its, to restrict the same to such defl- nife permission as may be grante in writing and properly advertised within the next few week: 1 there- fore trust that no dealer will pur- chase any stock of these articles for sale, until he has communicated with me, 'to learn which, if any, of said ar- ticles will be allowed to be sold or used. i Reduce Treasurer's Salary. Another matter which I feel I should mention to the court of com- mon council at this time relates to a recommendation which 1 expect to: make to the finance committee when It is preparing its estimates of re- ceipts and expenses for the coming vear, to be submitted to the court of common council. This is as to the amount of salary to be paid to the city treasurer for the coming vear. As the city treasurer will be elected for the next year at the city election on the first Monday of June, and as no candidate for the office has been nom- inated as yet by any party, it seems only fair to publicly state the recom- mendation to be made with regard to the salary of this office before any such candidate is nominated. I be- iieve that the office of city treasurer can be satistactorily filled either by a man who has practically retired from active business and so is willing to do the necessary work at a ome- what lower figure than has been paid during the past few vears, or by a man who Is engaged in active work and can attend to the duties of the ‘reasurer’s office outside of his regu- lar business hours. With an incum- bent of either sort it would be nec- essary of course, as at present, to have a competent clerk in the treas- urer's office to attend to the office work. At the present time the treas- urer employs a very efficient clerk, a part by the city. I believe it would be better to have the treasurer paid | a straight salary and to have the city Jpay in full for the services of a com- petent clerk. An allowance of per- taps $15 a week for clerk hire would | <eem to meet the nceds of the situa- ition, if the proposed arrangement i were put into effect. | Compares Favorably With Other Cit- I find upon inquiry that the city of New Haven is paying its treasurer hut $1,000 a year, New London $1.000 a yvear, New Britain $500 a vear, Mer- iden $300 a year, Norwalk $500 a vear, Bristol $400 a year and Danbury |$200" a vear. I presume that there jare some cities in the state which 1§@ larger salaries than these but I sifmply cite those ziven to show that if the salary of the city treasurer in Norwich were very substantially re- duced it would still compare favor- ably in amount with many of the {other citles in Lonnecticut. 1 am ~onvinced that ®he salary now p.‘d of $1.500, if the clerk hire were taken | eare of as a separate item by the city {ns susgested, should be reduced to some $300 or $600. This is the rec- ommendation which I intend to make to the finance committee. Will Recommend Reduction. T might add that T would have r ommended this reduction in salary early in the present fiscal year, except for the fact that it would have been nnfair to the present treasurer who bad been elected under a proposed City Treasurer Charles S.

Fewer Passenger Train As a move for economy, it is quite likely that within a short time pas- senger traffic on the New Haven road will be somewhat eurtailed.
