If you find there Is a mecessity for extension of the sewer system this Year; then vou ought to encourage any and all such extensions. The cost of the extension of sewers would be a mere trifie as compared with the benefits deriwed. Cleaning of Catch Basine. ¢ gn)ooked for expenses is going to be added to the business of the city continually, which you have to take into consides with the mat- ters now in your and keeping: Street Department. The ever increasing traffic with mod+ ern vehicles creates a greater demand for a better construction and mainte- nance of the streets, which means & expense, corresponding _increase both for construction and maintenance thereof. Our main or trunk line streets leading to and from adjoining “towns are in the main macadamized, some of which are in urgent need of general repairs, and just as soon as weather conditions permits; should be given immediate and preferred attention; af- ter which all other streets in need of been first placed on the which strikes me as being exceedingly unsanitary. I hope and expect that you will see to it that this prac- tice is™discontinued at onte, and that the removal of this refuse is perform- ed in a clean and satitary mapner.

Our city | health officer receives an annual com- tion of $300, which I understand, mieu the ordinary expenses of t)!e office such as stamps, printing, ete. Bo T would recommend that the office be allowed all expenses incurred for materials used In the pursuance of his duties. Milk Inspection Important. The duties of this office also in- idndu that of milk inspector, which duty should be performed in a thor- ough and systematic manner. Which would pay a better return for the cos: [m any other public expenditure, so {4 thing it would be well to have the health officer give this matter special , collecting samples for an- te. City’s Financial Condition. Before we consider how the money | of the people may be best employed @uring the present fiscal yvear, it seems { proper to call vour attention to the financial condition of the city. Then you will be in a better position to ! judge what improvement may be be. lgun and completed without any ma- ! terial increase in the rate of taxation, | which later on might prove burden- | some.

The ater pipes were lald some thirty-three years:ago, apd in_ all probability, are showing some indica- reconstruction or general should be given proper treatment, of such a character as will not neces- sitate a repetition for some time to come. The situation of our,city is such that every heavy fall of rain badiy washes and gulleys many of our streets. I recommend that the method of resurface of such streets be given your early and careful consideration. I am in favor of continuation of block pavement, but in_ view of the present abnormal conditions, I feel that we should defer the laying of same for the present. Untidy Streets. Waste paper and litter is a matter which should concern each and every individual as well as it does our street department. This occurs by the plac- ing of loose papers, mot tied in bung dies, in ash and rubbish barrels, and other receptacles and promiscuous throwing of the same in streets and alleys by careless persons. Personal pride in the general appearance of our tion of decay and must of necessity be removed within a matter.of a few years. 'We have only one high service or main supply 14 inch pipe for con- ducting of water from the pumping plant to the corner of Jackson and Valley 1 would recommend your very cgreful consideration of lay- ing an auxiliary line, and while the present line "is able to perform its streets should have a.tendency to cause its discontinuance. Cutting, trimming and removal of shade trees on our street should be given careful and due consideration, and not removed only for geod and sufficient reasons. It takes a long time to grow a shade tree, and every effort hould be made to preserve them. For divers reasons, some trees have to be trimmed, which operation can be per- formed in such a manner as not to injure them. Spraying of trees has proved to be very beneficial and I rec- ommend its continuartce, Higher Salary Favored. The salary allowed and paid to the superintendent of streets is $1,000 per year, which amount is exceedingly in- adequate, and I recommend that you carefully consider the question of ar increase for this officlal. Police Department. The police department consists of a chief, lieutenant and five regular pa- trolmen, ang six supern ry offi- cers, which force I consider efficient and sufficient. I favor the installation of a police patrol telephone system, which system would materially aid the department by the facility it would afford to promptly communicate with police headquarters, and would also enable the patrolmen to make hourly reports from their districts throughout that portion of the city now patroled. There has been entirely too many automobile accidents within the city limits, and I recommend that you con- sider the purchase of proper Warning notices to regulate speed through our fanction, I recommend the purchase of an automobile truck of one ton ca- pacity for use of the water depart- ment. Pumping Station-Water Department. 1 have inspected the pumping sta- tion, and as a matter of safety, neces- sity and economy, I respectfully sub- mit recommendations as follows, to wit: 1. The supplanting of plank fioor- Ing, in water power and steam pump rooms, with cement flooring. 2. The purchase and installation of five (5) Chemical Liquid Fire ex- tinguishers, for immediate, use in case of fire. 3. The purchase and installation of two (2) metal oil tanke, with pumps attached, to be used instead of wooden barrels. . 4. The purchase of 100 feet of two inch hose, to be permanently attached to water supply pipe, and located in most convenient location in water power room, ready, for immediate use In_case of fire, 5. Painting of all pumps, iron and wood work, inside of the plant. 6. As a matter of economy and con- venienee, the consideration of the pur- chase and installation of a traveling crane, in both the- water power and steam rooms. ‘We ‘have no greater asset than our water plant, and it is of the utmost importance that you gentlemen see to it that he same, a all times and re- gardless of expense, is properly and sufficiently maintained, so that effi- ciency may be assured.

SAFEST CATHARTIC FOR all, HAIR GETS THICK, WAVY, BEAUTIFUL SAVE YOUR HAIR! DOUBLE TS BEAUTY IN A FEW MOMENTS. TRY THIS! HAIR STOPS COMING OUT AND EVERY PARTICLE OF DAN- DRUFF DISAPPEARS Try as you will, after an applica- tion of Danderine, you can not find a single trace of dandruff or falling hair and your scalp will net itch, but what will please you most, will be after a! few weeks' use, when you see new hair, fine and downy at first—yes— | ?:t really new hair—growing all over | e A little Danderine immediately doubles the beauty of your hair. No difference how dull faded, brittle and scraggy, just moisten a cloth with Danderine and _carefully draw it through your hafr, taking one small strand at a tine. The effect is im- mediate and amazing—your hair will be light, fluffy and wavy, and have an appearance of abundance, an incom- parable lustre, softness and luxuri- ance, the beauty and shimmer of true hair health. A Get a small bottle of Knowlton's Danderine from any drug store or tojlet counter for a feéw cents and prove that your hair is as pretty and soft as any—that it has been neglected or injured by careless treatment— that's all. Danderine is to the hair what fresh showers of rain and sunshine are to vegetation. It goes right to the roots, invigorates and strengthens them. Its exhilarating, stimulating and life-pro- ducing properties cause the hair to grow long, strong and beautiful. . nounced from time to time as rapidly as it is possible to mature them. In view of the fact that so many of our young men have been called to the colors and as a matter of public necessity and convenience, I recom- mend that every person hereafter ap- pointed a member of the fire depart- ment, must at the time of his appoint- ment be not less than twenty-one and not over fifty years old, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of this city, and county for the period of time® prescribed by law. He -shall be able to read, write and speak the Snglish langwage understandingly, and shall make application in regular form as prescribed -by the gre committee, in his own hand wrifing to the chief of the department or to the fire com- mittee, stating therein the position he is an applicant for, his name, age, birthplace, residence and buslness oc- cupation, and certify to the correct- ness of the same, under oath, before a justice of the peace or a mnotay public. The new Combination LaFrance Au- to Fire Engine seems to be rendering very satisfactary service. I am of the opinion that it should be reseryed for use in case of large fires. I think it is not treating it fair to use it to an- swer still alarms, involving chimney, brush fires, etc, as a matter of tie utmost necessity, and strictly in th2 interest of economy and efficiency, T favor and recommend th~ nurchase of a small combination auto fire truck. We have one: Seagraves horse-drawn Hook 2nd Iadder truck at our so-call- ed Bank Street station.. T recommend that you carefully consider the feasi- bility of tractorizing the same. T am of the belief that we will not need mafdy additional alaym boxes, as the telephone has practically taken the place of the alarm box at the cor- ner. 5 Permanent Appoihtments Favored. Our city charter provides for the ap- pointment of a chief engineer and ot three assistant engineers. I recom- mend. your early consideration of such amendments as would provide for the appointment of a permanent chief and a permanent deputy chief only. Our city chatter also provides for the appointment of six fire police. 1 feel that for the benefit of the service, you should coumsider such amendments as would abolish these offices, and take such action as may be necessary to have their duties performed by the members of the police department. I recommend that an annual salary of $100 flat, be paid to the captains of the Hook and Ladder Co. No. 1; Hose Co., No. 1, and Hose Co., No. 2. + I recommend that an annual salary of $75 flat, be paid to the lieutenants of Hook and Ladder Co., No. 1; Hcse Co., No. 1, and Hose Co. No. .2 I recommend that an annual salary of $25 be paid to all other call mem- bers of the fire department, and in ad- dition thereto, the sums of $3 for each and every fire at which they report and where a stream of waier has becn turned on. I recommend the adoption and strict enforcement of rigid house rules pro- hibiting gambling, profane language, and having any spirituous or intoxicat- ing liquors therein. I recommend supplanting of the old fire bell at the Bank Street house, on with an elec- tric fire gong. Judicious economy must mark the conduct of the affairs of the city gov- ernment wthout crippling its efficiency. The people of Willimantic have shown fit. to choose us as their agen:s and employes and with it the respon- sibility of managing their public af- fairs, You are here to serve with me dur- ing the next two years, for the scit purpose of giving to the people of ‘Willimantic the best possible city gov- ernment. A successful term can re- sult only from hearty co-operation of Reports of Pepartments. It was voteq to accept the message and place it on the minutes .of the meeting. Reports from the different departments/for the month of Decem- ber were then given, the police report- ing 26 arrests and the health officer 21 cases of contagious diseases. The expenses of the street department were $966.80. A petition to have the sewer extended 500 feet morth from Walnut street was referred to the sewer com- mittee. A petition for a firebox on the corner of High and Washburn streets was refe to the fire com- mittee. A clyaim of $403.50 by Wilfrea St. Martin was referred to the claims committee. This amount was spent for medical attention as the result of his son receiving a fracture of the skull when the limb of a tree which city men were cutting fell down on him. The accident took place on Oct. There is more catarrh in_this-section of the country than all other diseases put together, and for years it was sup. posed to be incurable. Doctors pre- scribed local remedies, and by con- antly failing to cure with local treat- ment, pronounced it incurable. Catarrh is a Jocal disease, greatly influenced by S0-CO-NY was, . New York. Burns with kerosene. New York Buffalo heads ang folders with lists of the city officials and their positions printed. The sum of $5,000 was appropriated for current expenses. A bill for $126.0¢ was received from the Torrington Building Co. for the . construction of sidewalks in front of the Jordan block as $69.70 was agreed upon as the price the bill was referred to the street com- mittee for investigation and report. Nominations for Officers. Mayor Gates then made his nomina- tions for officers which were voted on by the aldermen and only a few votes were cast against them and all were elected. They are as follows: Superintendent of streets, Alphonse L. Gelinas 6 to 1, superintendent of wa- ter works, Henderson S. Moulton, 7 to chief engineer of the fire depart- ment, fire marshal, inspector of build- ings and superintendent of the fire alarm, Wade U.

The sewer committee nominated John Collins as superintendent of sew- ers, but he was defeated 2 to 5 and Jeremiah Lyons was elected 4 to 3. The charter was amended to prohibi vehicles from parking on Bank street between Meadow and Main streets so as to give the engine company free access to the street from the Bank street house. It was voted that all of- ficers appointed ir® Hook and Ladder and Hose Co. No. 1 and eight call men from the positions be declared vacant. The following men were made call men and assigned to the different compan- ies: Arthur E. Taylor, captain, an® Loyal E. Plaisted, lieutenant of Hook and Ladder company; James F. Mc- Glone, captain and Bdward J. Flynn lieutenant of Hose Co. No. E 8 Cyr, captain and Rufus Rood, lieuten- ant, of Hose Co. 2; Ovilla Martin, un- assigned. It was voted to purchase 274 packages of tile at a cost of $540.23 for the sewer department. A resolu- tion was passed allowing the trapping and shooting of squirrels on permis. sion of the mayor or chief of police. The animals are very numerous in the city and are doing much damage. The meeting adjourned after 11 o'- C!o(&k after the bills had been all voted paid. German Society Meets. A meeting of Die Besserung was held at the high school assembly hall on Monday morning. During the méeting Principal Case gave an interesting talk on Thrift Stamps and War Savings Certificates, advocating their purchase most strongly. Subscriptions will be made Tuesday at the school. The following programme was car- ried out by members from Mansfleld: Vocal solo, Louise Gardiner and Fran. ces Davis; recitation, Mildrea Davol; piano solo, Dorothy Allen; recitation, Rose Anthony; vocal duet, Allen and James Eaton; recitation, Anthony Cerveny; recitation, Dorothy Jenner. One of the unusual features of the programme was the vocal duet by two young men which was much appre- ciated. constitutional conditions. and therefore requires constitutional treatment.
