Stanton. prospects for the new year are very encouraging as plans are under way for several large structures in the city. The local Y. M. C. A is lanning the erection of their new flding on Main street during this coming year. This buildinz is to be one of the largest erectel heart of the city for some years. The American Thermcs Bottle Company is also planning extensive additions to their factory on Laurel Hill and) several other concerns are planning to; build as soon as cost prices have ccme down to & normal pre-war basis. There are several projects nmow in Hand that will be completed in the coming year. These include the ad- dition tc the Austin block cn Main streét, the Atlantic Carion Corpora- tion and the Ironsides Board Com- pany. g g The Standard Oil Compzany of New York, with -a station in this city, has let the contract for the erection of a large fireproof. gsarage on Fordst street to the Peck-McWilllams: Com- | pany of this city. - The specifications | call for a garage 75 x 50 feet, large «‘enaugh for the accommodation of four large trucks.

Mayor Lerou ‘then introduced to the cita charter by reading the following! of the Court of Common 't which T wish to bring to your attention at this time is the revis- {on of the city charter. Our present charter was granted to the in 1871 ce that time, a sec'ion known as wag anncxed in 1901; a paid “re department established in 1902, Fatrview reservoir enlarged in 1902, municipal | ownership of gas ana_electrical depart- 1 L { d 1 Miss Marion A.

There have bden th, iy regular sessions of the general aszemuly since the char- ter was granted and under which &ar- -er the city now operates. The charter of 1871 covers about one hundred and nih¢ pages; amendments to it since that date, nearly the samé€ num- ber of pages. Chapger No. 24 of General Statutes of the State, commonly called Home Rule, furfiishes’a why for cities to make such 1evisions. If ten per cent of the regh istered voters petition for the submission’ of the questior in the warning for the June election 1921, and a majority of the voters- approve that the charter be re- vised by a committee of our own citi: zens, and if the report of this commit- tee is accepted by the voters at the city election in 1922, the revision is accom- plished. 1f :his method s not adopted, the only other way open is to present to the legjslature a reyision and have them enact same. 1 consider our present ‘charter too an- tiquated for the proper conducting of city affairs as this charter wag made o meet the conditions of fifty years ago and city affairs haye changed a great deal in the past fifty years. While I fully realize the -task of a revision is of some maari- tude, 1 am sure you gentlemen of the council will' agree with me that it is worthy of the effort. A matter that would need the action of the incoming legislature would be the amending of the gharter as the hours of the opening and the closing of tae polls at the city election, changing the present hours of from 9 o'clock a. m. to 4 o'clock p. m, to the hours of from 6 o'clock a. m. to 5 o'clock p. m. This would greatly relieve the congested conlition brougiit about by the additional wonen voters. ' While fome consideration has been given to redividing the city into wards, and I believe this to be the proper solu- tion to our present difficulyes, I am of the opinion that we have nJt ¢he rec sary time to draf. a suitable Lill for this session of the legislature. This matter could be accomplished andes the, pro- posed revision of our city charter, bere- tofore mentioned. I believe the time has arrived when our city should give carefnl idera- tion to the future cons'ruction of per- manent work upon our sfreet ‘We have several streets which adjoin the state h retched ‘eon- dition and one in particular should have immediate at.ention in the carly spring. | I speak now of North Maln street from Eighth street to Boswell avenue and from Boswell avenue to the city line. If you can recall, at the last city meeting, this was among the speclal items ecall- ing for an appropriation of $30,000, jvhich amount would only accomplish a part of the ‘work above mentioned. Later when this item was- taken up, much to my surprise, no one wished to be heard upon the matter. Anything in the way of ma- cadam repairs upon this road is a use- less expendi ure of money. Those fa- millar with the route to our city the past summer, instead of using this road, made 2 detour by the way of Boswell avenue and - Prospect ~ btreet into Grecuevilie. | Yaurel Hill fromsthe bridge to tne ol | iine, while not in ro bad = conditioff a3 Noith Muin stieet, certainly needs at- |« tention, for the Milltary Highway is bes coming a much travelied ihoroughlare, l‘u“) Bast Side from Main s.rect b j o Stouinzton lme as West Mam ity Whary, =nd Thaices Square to the Lave wosc done of a pern Thoe tppropriation for pairs this year was $11,000.

This work would cover a three yenrperiod and, if given the authorization, the work could begin the first of April each year. Work of this character should begin at | 2 much earlier date than Jume or July, as heretofore. 1 feel confident, after giv- {ing this matter careful consideration, is work could be done in an able and satisfactory manner by our local de- partment as this department has already demongerated their good wark upon roads already constructed. Our city, in the past, has had oppor- {unity to enter into arrangements with the highway department of the state of Connecticut which would have been . of considerable advantage financially to our city, had the money been availabie, so that we might have cooperated with the s'ate in the construction of permanefit roads. The plan, as suggested, would permit of this.
