The mayor went on to tell of the proposed plan to revise the charter. The plan means the circulation of a petition which will have to have ten per cent. of the voters’ signature on its before the question of a,revision of the charter can B> to the polls in June. Then if the election results in a favorable vote for revision, the charter will be rewritten by a committee or cor appainted for this purpose and will again go to the polls, in June 1922, for final acceptance or rejection by the voters. Charges Advecated Among the changes advocated by May- or Lerou are the ereation of a board et police commissioners, séparate from the court of common council, with full com- trol over the police department, s ward system to take care of the great increase in the number of voters since the advent of woman suffrage and the creation of an apportionmeént committee to take care of appropriations. Mayor Lerou spoke very highly of the splendid cooperation given him from the dorporation 'counsel down through the councilmen. Referring to Jitmey Drivers ney drivers, Mayor Lerou said: One condition Norwich should never have tolerated was the* jitney condition on Franklin square and in Rose alley. (Applause.) We got ¥id of the Rose al- ley nuisance and then got rid of the practice - of circling around Franklin Square. They came back under private numbers. We stationed an officer there in private clothes and, -believe me, there isn’t any of them there now. There is room for only one common carrier in' this city. That is the one that gives us the best service—the trol- ley car. Don't. misunderstand me. I don’t own any trolley stock and never did. I am-glad I don't just now,. the mayor added .as an afterthought, to the amusement of the audienc. For the Salvatien Army. Touching on the matter of obsiruetien r ttzmughf:res, which it will be re- membéered came into the limelight last fal] through the actiyities of local social- ists, the mayor said: I believe the streets are for the many and not for the few. He Said he had been asked why he allowed the Salvation Army to held street meet- ings. The Salvation Army build up ra- ther than tear down. Their war record alone entitles them to tNe little space they have. On the Volstead Act. " The Volstead act was the next topia touched by the mayor. He told of how his attention had been called a number of times to existing conditions in the li- quor line in Norwich and of how he de- cided to go'ahead and clean up. -1 am satisfied that there is considerable stuff sold in the dity, but, believe me, they know we are going to get.them. In cencluding his talk, Mayor Lerou said that he has tried to do his best without fear or favor and that he is go- Ing'to continue to do the same through- out his term. f - Mayor Lerou was greeted with a thun- derous burst of applause-as he brought his very intefesting talk to an end. Before the meeting adjourned there was more or less discussion en the' gas question. One member of the audience expressed himself pretty plainly when he said: The ‘gas is rotlen poor, the price is high and nobody knows anything about it. From what was brought out at the meeting the main trouble with the gas seems to be a poor distribution system which results in considerable leakage.
