SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENT FAVORS CAMP HAZEN ‘While F. A. Stanley, boys’ work seere- tary of the state Y. M. C. A., was in Nor- wich Friday he visited E. J. Graham, su- perintendent of schools, at hig offiee, to acquaint him with the plans for the state Y. M. C. A. camp. Mr. Graham is fa- miliar with the standard type of camp which is proposed and was delighted that the boys of Norwich have the opportunity of attending sueh a camp. Under the right kind of leadership camp life is a most valuable experience to bring out the latent qualities of a boy ; the regular hours, the high standards of the group which make it popular to do the right thing, and the bey who does wrong unpopular, the outdoor life with all that it means in the way of physical growth and the good habits of eating that come from a healthy appetite and foed prepared by professional chefs. But greater than all the physical bene- fits of camp life, great as they are in a camp where the physieal activities are supervised by .a specially trained man, is the moral growth. Mr. Graham said that in his experience he had found that a pienic was a place where he ecould learn more about the real nature of a boy or girl than he could in many weeks in the class room. Camp life brings out and develops manly character and self- reliance. The whole camp spirit is that of trugting individuals and all boys are on their honor. In addition there is a picked virile Christian young man to every seven boys. The camp superinten- dent has much faith in the old saying that character is caught net taught. / w HEN the eyeball is too long and the ecrystal- line lens is too strong, This known as near-sightedness myopia results. is N.

The meeting was a very harmonieus one, there being but little objection raigsed to the appropriations on the list. With the town hall well filled with rep- resentative citizens of the city the meet- ing was ealled to order at 8 o'clock by His_Honor, Mayor Herbert M. Lerou, this being the mayor's firs. appearance in his efficial capacity. After the warning had been read by City Clerk William R. Frisbie, brief re- marks touching on the business before the meeting were made hy Mayor Lerou. The time has come, said the mayor, when we are to take up our finnacial problems. As you are aware, the esti- mates were made up by the outgoing ad- ministration. In looking them oyer I can not see how they will stand paring. The mayor said that if there was no objection he would take the appropria- tions up, item by item. There was no objection, and the appropriations were then acted upon. Lincoln Avemue Macadam. When the mayor reached the item of $14,000 for macadam repairs, under the public works department, Edward Kirby offered a suggestion that the improvement of Lineoln avnue from Uneas street to Oneco street 'be included in this appro- priation, The mayor said he was not famliiar with the program the department of pub- lic works has in mind and that the street commissioner might be able to enlighten the meeting as to whether or not.this work could be included in the appropri- ation. Street Commissioner Fox said he believed the work could be taken care of by the appropriation. The appropri- ation was.then veted. . Mr. Kirby then offered a motion that the work of macadamizing Linco!n avenue from Uncas street Oneco street be includ- ed in the appropriation and the motion was earried. Oil Situatien Not Encouraging When the $6,000 item for oiling and sprinkling was presented by the ‘mayor, Lucius Brown inquired what the pros- pects are for the oiling of the streets Street Commissioner Fox said the oil situation is very bad and that it is very difficult to get oil. The appropriation ‘was voted. The West Thames street improvement re-appropriation was down on the list as $6,403.90, On motion of City Engineer §. B, Palmer this amount was increased $800, owing to the cost of increased labor and the appropriation was voted as increased. Appropriations for the department of cemeteries, fire department, police de- partment, health department and all but the last item under the gas and electric department were voted withoyt question. As the item of $517,899 for the expense of operation, maintenance and necessary improvements to the gas and electric plant showed an increase of something under $200,000, fhe figure for last year being $342,510, a question arose as to why the increase is neceasary. Daniel T. Shea, one of the gas and electric commissioners, explained the mat- ter briefly. He said the receipts last year were about $454,000 and that the commissioners have hopes this year of swelllng this amount to $575,000. We ean’t spend more than we take in, said Mr. Shea, but we would like to have the privilege of spending nearly the total amount asked for if we find it necessary. The apprepriation was voted. The park department amd water de- partment appropriations were then voted and the finanee department taken wup. The $5,500 apprepriation for salaries and tax eommission was voted and the court house item of $9500 came next. More Money for Court House Joseph J. Fields, janitor of the ecourt house, said the court house building is in bad shape and that there has been but The putty is gone frem the windows little repair workefor a number of years. and ceilings down stairs, (beneath the town hall) are ready to fall down. Three cellings in the annex are down now, and metal workers are coming along to fix them. " Mr. Fields said he thought it would be a good idea to have the bar library and the roem off the library done at the same time. He called attention to other needed repairs and sald the painting question of the building is another item that needs attention. Coal will cost $563 more this year than last, - He said he didn’t think it possible to take care of all these items with an appropriation of $9,500 and offered a motion that the appropriation be increased to $10,500. . Mavor- Lerou, called attentionetosthe: matter of on the building, amounting to $2,400 which was not in- included in the $9,500 aapropriation’ and which must be paid. The mayor said there was no way to take care of it ex- cept by a special meeting or by the con- tingent fund and he felt that the con- tingent fund was not in shape to take care of this extra item. g Who has charge of the court heuse? asked John MecWilliams. Isn't there some committee? It is my belief that the ecourt house comes under the mayor, selectmen and county commissioners, answered Mayor Lerou. Mr. Fields moved fthat the court bgise appropriation be inereased to $12,900 to take care of the $1,000 extra and the $2,400 insurance item. The ap- propriation was voted as increased. $1,300 for Election Expenses. The fext increage voted was for the item for elegtion expenses, which was made $1,300 instead of $1,000 as listed in the estimates. Touching on the matter of election expenses the mayor said there has been an overdraft for a number of years. Last year the over- draft was $80 and he said he under- stands that this year the bill will be about $1,300, Charles S. Holbrook, town clerk, mov- ed that the appropriation be made $1,300 and it was so voted. All the items in the finance department with' the exception of the contingent fund item, were voted at one time, the loomingem fund being taken up separate- % Joseph T. Fanning, corporation coun- sel said a petition had come to his atten- tion for an appropriation for the play- grounds and he suggested that $500 might be withdrawn from the contingent fund to provide the apprepriation asked for. It is settled in my mind that the present amount of the contingent fund is not sufficent said the mayor and he add- ed that he would entertain a motion to increase the amount. Mr. Fanning moved that the contingent fund be increased to $12,000 and the increase was voted by the meeting Increase For Firemen and Police. The regular appropriations being dis- posed of the meeting took up the extras. The first on the list, $30,000 for the North Main street and Boswell avenue roadway, was indefinitely postponed. A motion was made to indefinitely DPostpone the $7,000 appropriation for an Elgin street sweeper. Charles F. Wells wanted to know what the reason for the motion was. “You will save the price of that Sweeper in two year: he said. “If there Was ever a time you need a sweeper, it is now.” A vote was taken on the mo- tion to indefinitely postpone, and the motion was lost. Mr. Wells moved that $7.000 be appropriated for the sweeper and the motion was carried. An appropriation of §10,455 was voted to provide an increase of one dollar a day for the policemen and :yother ap- propriatien for $9,855 provic.ag an in- crease of §1 a day for the firemen was also voted. On motion of Joseph A. George an ap- propriation of $1,200 was voted to pro- vide a public comfort station for women and a motion by Joseph T. Fanning to the effect that the sum of $500 be used {?ra maintaining playgrounds, was car- ried. Jobn Barry raised the question as to why the supernumerary policemen do not receive the same pay as the regulars when they perform exactly the same duties in’ substituting for the regular men. Mr. Barry said that heretofore the regular men have been receiving $4 a day while the supernumeraries received but $3.75. He felt they are entitled to the same pay as the regular men. John McWilliams moved that the in- crease for supernumeraries be the same as for the regular men. There was some discussion on the motion and as to Whether or not an increase had been provided for the supernumeraries. Mr. Fanning informed the meeting that the city charter provides that the pay ef policemen shall be fixed by the court of common council and said the matter could be safely taken care of by the council. It was finally decided to leave the matter with the council, opinion evi- dently favering the same salary for su- pernumeraries as for the regular men. The following resolutions presented by Mr. Fanning were adopted: That a tax of eighteen and three-quar- ters mills en the dollar be, and the same is hereby laid on the list of the City of Norwich last made, payable to the eity collector on the 11th day of Octeber 1920, to meet the expenses of the city for the current fiseal year upon the esti- mates approved and the appropriations authorized at this meeting. That the compensation of the tax cel- lector be one per cent. of the tax collect- ed by him. The following reselution introduced by Mr. Fanning caused some discussion be- fore it was finally adopted: That the grant from the City of Nor- wich to George E. Piteher of a small pareel of land on North Thames street, said grant being dated June 1, 1920, signed by J. J. Desmond, mayor, and sealed with the eity seal, be and the same is approved. Mr. Pitcher explained briefly. Mr. Wells asked what the considera- tion was and was informed that it is $75. Mr. Wells said he had looked the land over and it is worth more. F. Q. Aubrey said $150 was a fair price. Mr. Pitcher said that $75 was about three times what the land cost the eity. Mr. Fanging said he was not familiar Wwith the value of the land. The chair maintained that the dis- cussion was on the adoption or rejection of the resolution and not on the value of the land. The resolution was then adopted. The adoption of the following resolu- tions introduced by Mr. Fanning ecom- pleted the business hefore the meeting Wwhich adjourned about 9.30 o'clock: That the sum of $500 to be used for maintaining playgrounds as voted, he paid from the conmtingent fund. That the court of common ecouneil of the city of Norwich be, and it is hereby authorized to make the appropriations Tequisite to pay the expenses of the cfty in aceprdance with the estimates ap- proved by this meeting. That sanction is hereby given to the borrowing for the gas and eleotrical de- partment, in anticipation of its erdinary revenue, of such sum or sums, net ex- ceeding in' the aggregate fifty thousand dollars, as may be necessary frem time to time to pay the running expenses of said department, the sums so borrowed, principal and interest to be repaid from said revenue, before the end of the city’s present fiscal year. That the Mayor be, and he is hereby authorized for and on behalf of the City of Norwich, to enter into an agreement with the town of Norwich to-provide for the use in common by the assessors of said town and the assessors of said eity of the room in the court house now oc- cupied by the assessors of the town and for the furnishing and maintenance of said room as an office for the proper work of the assessors; and such agree- ment shall fix the period for which such occupaney in common shall continue. That sanction is hereby given to the borrowing from time to time in antici- pation of the city tax, of such sum or sums as may be necessary, not éxceed- ing in the aggregate $160,000 to make improvemsnts and discharge the obliga- tions authorized by this meeting for which appropriations have been author- ized, and the notes or certificates of in- §iven upon _borrowing - such the matter | by Pitcher I Miss Mabel Tayler of 190 Shultz Place, Hartford, is Glad to Tell Public What Cinot Did For Her.

A large part of the discussions centered around the reports given by delegates who have just returned from a general conference held throughout May at Des Moines, Towa. At this conference many revolutionary laws were passed which have been under discussion for years but beeguse of the mighty impetus given by the Centemary campaign and the stress of present day problems, these radical measures were passed with comparative ease. Stephen Prentis of New London gave his report as a lay delegate and distriet superintendent, Rev. William H. Bath of Norwich who was a ministerial delegate reported. from his standpoint. Rev. G. G. G. Scrivener, of South Manchester, opened the discussion “Shall the United States Accept a Mandate for Armenia” The general sentiment ex- pressed was in the affirmative. Rev. V. V. Sawyer of Rockville read an paper on “The Church and the Induw al Situation.” Rev. E. A of able wich spoke o nthe topic “Church Leader- ship in the New Day.” An unusual feature of the meeting was the pro- gram of Monday evening which cansisted of after dinner speaking by the ministers interspersed with music an dreadings by the young people of the Moosup church. The Moosup Ladies’ Aid society served three fine meals and won the highest praise of the resolutions committee. The officers for the comnig year are: President, Rev. W. H. Bath of Norwich; secretary and treasurer, Rev. C.C. Tib- bets of Uncasville; program committee, Rey. O. J. Aldrich of Stafford Springs and Rev. M. 8. Stocking of Danielson. REV. DR. W. H. KIDD YIELDS $130 TO N. Y. HOLDUP MEN There is Norwich interest in the fol- lowing story of an ardent rogue players and a frequent visitor here, who, when a student, played on the Norwich baseball team: Held up at the point of a revelver on a busy street in New York in the midst of a crowd who passed by, unknowing what was taking place, was the experi- ence a' few days ago of Rev. W. H. Kidd, D. D., of Stamford, formerly pastor of ‘the Danbury Methodist Episcopal church. The hold-up men got $130 of his money, but failed to get sixty dollars which he had elsewhere in his clothes. The robbery occurred in broad day- light on one of the downtown streets of New York. Dr. Kidd was walking along the street with people passing him on all sides on all sides when two men stepped up to him, and pressing a revolv- er to his side demanded his money. He was so astounded that he could hardly realize what was occurring and the very boldness of the affair prevented him from making any resistance. ‘““These men are robbing me.,” Dr. Kidd called out to a man who was passing. “Are they?’ was the only response he d from the man, who walked on. izing that if he did not give up his money, which was all the robbers ask- ed he would undoubtedly be shot, Dr. Kidd gave the men $130 he had in a pocketbook. They did not press him further, but took the money and disap- peared in the crowd. How to Banish Piles Thousands Hless Dr. Leonhardt, the Physiclan Whe Discovered = Co on Sense Remedy.
