Marland of the town school committee announced that “the.

City Charter Talked Of. Is Danielson to be the_baby city of Connecticut? In what are usually well informed quarters in Dlmellon it is being stated that an effort is to be made to secure a city charter for Duudsom N statement is available as to the benefits that may be derived. from changing to & ¢ity form of government from" the borough form, but some change that would benefit can be thought of. Danielson has grown very consider- ably during the past five years and there is more growth ahead of it, . It has developed mew sections, nnd its old eections have grown. ‘As to the expense of administering the affairs of Danielson under a city form of government, it is held that they need not be materially, if any, greater than at present. ‘Borough officials serve now without pay. There is no reason why city of- ficials should not do so. This is the rule in Putnam, where the mayor and members of the common council re- ceive no compensation. Danielson already has a paid ‘police department and.so far as the fire de- partment is concerned there need be no increase in cost under a city form of government.
