PASTOR STROUSE RESIGNS AT FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH After eignt #nd one-half years as pas- tor of the First Baptist church of this city, Rev. George H. Strouse has pre- sented his resignation to take offect the first of Novembet. Rev. Mr. Strouse came to Norwich from Comar near Philadelphia and previous to thet time had been eéngaged in missionary work in India and Africa. % His resignation was read at the service on Sunday morning and was as follows To the Menibers of the First Baptist Church, Norwich, Conn. Dear Friends and Fellow Workers in the Kingdom of Jesus Christ The hour has struck in the providence of God for the dissolving of this pastoral relationship, which to the pastor at least, has been very precious. To have made some little contribution for more than eight years toward keeping the light of Jesus burning in this place, brings to me at this time unspeakable joy. This has beent possible through your zeal, , consecration and co-operation and I desire not only to thank you, but to re- mind you of the certain reward promised by the Great Head of the Church for any service rendered in His name. In departing, I pray that ‘“you may walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ve are called,” and that “you hold fas: the profession of your faith without wav. ering, for he is faithful that promised.” I leave you with my very warmest wishes that in all the years to come, Heaven's best may come your way. I hereby tender my resignation to take effect the 31st day of October, 1921, Yours in the name of the King, who is marching on to certain victory.

Propose To Close Mohegan Park At Night Improper conduct by visitors to Mohe- gan park during the night season which, according to the park commissioners, has become very noticeable of late, was brought to the attention of the court of common council at its October meeting in the council chamber Monday night through the park commissioners. As a result there is a possibility of the city prohibiting the park to-the public from a half hour after sunset to sunrise, as this is the plan that has been placed be- fore the council by the park commis- sioners at the suggestion'of the police commissioners. SucH a resolution would probably have gone through last night had it not been for the fact that Alder- man Grover rafsed the aquestion as to Whether the resolution would prevent the use of the park by skating parties this ‘winter. ‘When the skating question was raised Mayor Lerou said that this phase of the matter had not occurred to him and as several of the members of the council felt the skating question should be given consideration it was decided to let the matter go over for further consideratior. All members of the council were pres- ent but Councilman John S. Blackmar, who is out of town. The meeting was called to order about 8.15 o'clock with Mayor Herbert M. Lerou in the chair. The council accented an invitation from Fletcher post, American Legion, Ladies’ auxiliary, American legion, and Hourigan post, Veterans of Foreign Wars, to re- view the Armistice day parade and to at- tend the chowder to be served at the armory following the parade. Petitions Presented, Petitions were received and disposed of as follows: From Michael Krjowski, 151 Boswell avenue, for the acceptance of Howard street; from William E. East- wood and others for acceptance of such part of Fanning avenue as is in the city limits as a public highway. Referred to the public works committee and city en- gineer for report. From Thomas H. Eccleston. Jr., and others for an electric light on John street. neferred to nolice commissioners with power. Petition asking Hedge avenue exten- sion be accepted by city as public high- way. Referred to public works commit- tee. From Nelson C. and David D. Disco for grade on easterly side of Ferry street. Referred to the public works committee and city engineer for report. The quarterly report 6f the fire mar- shal was accepted by the council. The report showed a total of 56 permits granted during the quarter, which is con- siderable of an increase over the total permits granted in other quarter year periods. The monthly reports of the street de- partment and city treasurer were pre- sented and accepted, and ordered printed in the journal. The police commfssioners’ recom- mendation that the petiion of the Kos- ciuski-Pulaski corporation for a light on North Main street be granted was adopt- ed. Police commissioners in reporting on the petition of Charles Belone for an electric light near 44 Laurel Hill avenue stated they find the street well lighted at that point and recommended that the pe- titioner be given leave to withdraw. Re- port was accepted and recommendation adopted. Mohegan Park at Night. The Mohegan park matter was next taken up. The plan which the park com- missioners and police commissioners have in mind is to close the park to the public from one half hour after sunset to sun- rise. Alderman Murray said that the park commissioners had been in confer- ence with the police commissioners in re- gard to the improver conduct at the park which has become very noticeable of late. He said that with 12 miles of roadway it would be difficuit to police the park properly. The police commissioners suggested to the park commissioners that they draw up a resolution closing the park to the public during the above named hours and to present it to the council for acfion. Councilman Crooks asked if there was | any penalty attached to violation of the resolution if passed. that violations would be taken care ot by the statutes. Alderman Grover asked if the resolution would prohibit skating at the park this winter, Mayor Lerou said he hadn't considered the skating question. - He considered the alderman’'s point well taken. Several members of the council felt as though the skating question should be considered and it was decided to let the matter go over to the next meeting. Report on Petitions. The public works committee reported on a number of petitions which had been referred to them, making recommenda- tion as follows: In favor of petition of Adam Ensling and others for a grade on the westerly side of Mechanic street, he recom- mendation was adopted. On petition of John James and Peter Sellas for the erection of a gasoline pump in front of the garége at No. 61 She- tucket street. Committee has investigat- ed and finds that there is already one pump in front of the garage and recom- mended that the petition be denied, Mayor Lerou said ia: commitee’s rec- ommendation was pleating news to him. He said the city has teached a point where discretion should be used in regard to gasoline pumps and tanks. The com- mitee’s report was accepted and the pe- tition was denied. Petition of Williams Tire and Supply company for permission to remo line tank from in front of sireet to 315 Main street. Recummended petition be granted. Recommendation was adopted. In favor of petition of Charles Belone asking that two trees m front of 44 Lau- rel Hill avenue be trimmei; of the Miss- es Merta asking that two trees in NHont of 72 Coit street Je trimmel, and of Esteile H. Small for removal ¢f a dead tree as Asylum and Coit streets. The petitions were granted I'y the council. On petition of Natnan Rabinovitch for permission to erect 1 gaso.inc pump !ank in front <f 43 Washngton etect. ‘nmlnee reported that in their oLiion ump apa iank shoud by placed on _prlvate property. They that the petitioner Le given leave to with- draw. The repost wos aecapid aud ‘he petitioner was givern liave ta withdraw, Erected Pamp Abead of Permi:, On petition of J. W. Nichols for per- mission to erect a gasoline pump and tank in front of 278 West Thames street. Committee stated that they in- vestigated the matter and found that tite pump and tank have already been in- stalled without the council's permission. They recommended that the matter be referred to the street commissioner and corporation counsel. s It developed in the discussion on the matter that Mr. Nichols filed a like peti- tion in May and that at the July meeting of the counéil he was given leave to withdraw. Since then he filed another petition and while it has been pending has installed the pump and tank. Theré was a sentiment in the council tha the question’ of whether the city has the right to grant or withhold permission to erect gasoline tanks and pumps be defi- nitely settled, and jt was decided to refer the matter to the corporation counsel and street commigsioner for this purpose. Mayor Lerou said that in his opinion the common council has absolute author- ity in the matter. For Armistice Day Celebration. Councilman Hagberg presented a reso- lution appropriating $300 as a city con- ttibution towards the expense of the Armistice day parade nad celebration to be held under theauspices of Fletcher post. American Legion, Ladies' auxiliary, Mayor Lerou said | recommernaed | i ‘expense of the Armi: Htime American Legion, and Hourign posta, Veterans of Forelgn Wars, Councilman Hagberg said that last year the city appropriated $200 towards the day celebration. He said that he understands that this year|the ex-service men are going to put on a celebration on a much larger scale and he felt ‘the appropriation ought to be made. The resolution was adopted by the council, The public works committee recom- mended theadoption of the several reso- lutions introduced at the regular Septem- ber meeting and on which public hear- ings were held Sept. 26th. The resolu- tions adopted fix the layout of Fowler avenue as a public highway, fixe the grade and width of the siflewalks on the easterly side of Lafayette street (width in original . resolution being changed from six to fixe feet) and order new sidewalks to be constructed on the east- erly side of Lafayette street from Sachem street to Williams street at the expense of the property owners on that side of the street (completion time in original resolution being changed from Nov. 1st to Nov. 15th). A resolution laying out Hedge avenue extension as a public hizhway was intro- duced and action thereon was postponed to an adjourned meeting of the council to be held on Oct. 18th, when there will be a hearing on the matter. Municipal Garage and Sale of Barn. Alderman Raymond brought up the matter of the establishment of a muniel- pal garage and the sale of the city's property known as the city barn, which was outlined in a recent address of the mayor to the council. He suggested that in order to get the matter started it be referred to the finance committee for in- vestigation and report. The - council \'o!ei to s6 refer the matter. Alierman Raymond then requested that the city printing resolution which he introduced gt the Sewiember meeting, and which was at that time tabled on motion of Alderman Murray, be taken from the table for discussion and action. On motion of Alderman Murray the resolution was taken from the table for discussien. Councilman Creoks asked that the resolution be read. The reso- lution specified that the ecity solicit sealed bids from the several printing establishments in the city for the printing of the council journal for the balance of the year and that the con- tract be awarded to the lowest bidder. Mayor Lerou said speaking as chair- man of the finance committee, that he regretted that this matter came up at ithe September meeting during his ab- sence. He said that if the council vot- ed to pass this resolution they would Trepudiate their action at the July meet- ing of the council when tbe matter of city printing was referred to the fi- nance committee with power. Mayor Lerou said that after the council's ac- tion referring the matter to the finance committee with power that he had gone to the Norwich Bulletin and made a contract for the printing of the journal for the balance of the year. Alderman Raymond said the resolu- tion as adopted placed the printing un- der the direction of the finance cem- mittee. He said that he understood, from a member of the finance commit- tee, that the committee had never met in regard to the printing. He sald there are five printers and two binders. in the city, all equipped_ forsthe work The alderman felt that The awarding of the printing contract to the lowest bid- der is strictly a business proposition and it would save the city several hun- dreds of dollars. The alderman sald he realized that he is butting his head against a stone wall, but that he felt the resolution ought to be passed. In closing his ap- peal to the council as citizens, taxpayers and members of the council to pass the resolution. Mayor Lerou in answer said that the matter was thoroughly discussed at the the resolution placing the city printing under the finance committee's jurisdiction was adopted. He said he thought that every member of the com- mittee “Khew where the printing was going. The mayor sald it had been mentioned at a previous meeting that the printing was let out from month to month but that this is not so as he has made a contract for the printing for the remainder of the year. The mayor mtimated that Alderman Raymond might have better appliad his time to glving his attention to some matters upon which he has voted in the couneil than in trying to save a few hundred dollars on the city printing. Alderman Murray moved that action on the resolution be indefinitely post- poned. The council sustained the al- derman’s motion. Suggest Assistant to Clerk. Councilman Crooks suggested, that in view of the large amount of business which is coming into the council meet- mgs each month that the council pro- vide an assistant clerk to help out City erk Weston C. Pullen, Mayor Lerou said he didn't know whether or not the council has author- ty to appoint an assistant clerk, Councilman Crooks moved that the matter be referrsd to the finance com- mittee for investigation. The motion was passed. Re-hearing on Prospect Street Grade. Mayor Lerou suggested that inas- much as it has developed that no le- gal notice was served on the property holders on Prospect street in regard to the hearing for the estabMshment of a grade on that street on petition of St. Mary’s church corporation that the ac- tion of the council at the September meeting in regard to this matter be re-considered. He understood that some of the property holders did not fully understand the proposed project. Councilman Crooks moved that the council reconsider its action on Septem- ber 12th in regard to the matter and the motion was passed. Councilman Crooks then moved that a hearing on the matter be held at an adjourned meeting on October 1Sth and vroperty owners be given le- gal notice of the hearing. This motion wag also passed. Mayor Lerou, Corporation Counsel Higgins and City Engineer Palmer Wwere appointed a committee on sprink- ng assessments, report to be made on or before. the first Monday in Decem- bes. Department bills were approved follows: Cemetery department, $574.62) park department, $367.15; gas and electric department, - $30,309.21; police depart- ment, $1,498.70; public works depart- ment, $4,959.13 (permanent street im- provement), $10,855.96 (regular); fi- nance department, $9,879.48; fire de- partment, $4,992.33; -water department, $2,584.71. Vote to Pay Bartlett's Bill ~ When.the council reached the water department bills Alderman Raymond asked that they be read. As the clerk read off “R. S. Bartlett, $100,” Alder- man Raymond moved that Mr. Bart- lett’s bill be stricken from the list, making this motion an amendment té a previous motion approving the bills. Al- derman Grover seconded the amend- ment. “Was that bill approved by the wa- ter board?” agked Alderman Murray. “By the entire board,” answered the mayor. Alderman Raymond said this matter has arisen sfveral times and that at the August meeting the bill was not ap- proved. He said that if the council ap- proved the bill now they are not con- sistent. Alderman Murray said that he had previously voted on two occasions not to approve the bill, but that he was not going to vote in favor of Alderman Ray- mond’'s amendment to strike out the bill. He said that he had previously voted not to approve the bill as he under- stood that at that time the bill had fot beén approved by the board. The al- derman stated that if the bill has been approved by the board he could see no other way but to back the board and he didn't think he was inconsistent in his stand. Councilman Crooks said the board had thought it best to approve the bill seeing ' that Mr. Bartlett was a victim of circumstances. He said he under- stood that Mr. Bartlett was acting as president of the water board at the sug- gestion of the corporation counsel. The councilman said the bill had been ap- proved by the entiré board with the exception of Mr. Bartiett who was not présent at the time. Alderman Murray asked if the vouch- er had becn signed by the two demo- cratic members of the board. The signatures on the voucher as read were Patrick F. Bray, Hugh Black: ledge, Arthur E. Story and Edward Crooks. Alderman Peale said that personally he felt that Mr, Bartlett has a claim on the city.

The clear, swedt tone which delighted the audience in the opening number, was sustained without apparent effort throughout all the songs of the pro- gram, varied as they were in style and technique; and the artist entered sym- pathetically into the mood of each song. whether dramatic or lyric. The program opened with two num- bers from Handel, followed by a group of French songs. The group of songs which followed gave a variety of ver- slong of the love theme, all of which were equally we'l done, and brought for an encore the Dedication by Robert Frans. The negro spirituals by Burleigh were much appreciated, and were followed by Didn't It Rain by the same composer. The last groun was of greater varie- ty, ranging Zrom the calm peace and hush of the ‘end of day” to the dra- matic “awakening” of the final num- ber. Thesc were encored by two songs, Mary and I, by ht Fiske, and, by request, Charles Marshall's I Hear You Calling Me. Mr. House was well supported by Frederick W. Lester, who, as accom- panist, entered into the spirit of the program and cooperated with the sing- er at every point, in the interpretation of the songs. The decorations for the stage were by the Geduldig greenhouses, REPUBLICANS TAKE IMPORTANT OFFICES IN COLUMBIA The election in the town of Colum®'a resulted in a republican victory in all the important town offices.
