This was a camiel made of sponges, very nearly life size and cer- tainly of very lifelike appearance from a distance. as the sponges. approximated closely. to the camel color.and their ir- regular shape and bulkiness seemed -to give the impression of the flabby and misshapen bodily formation which the ship of the desert presents.

There were confetti and paper hats in plenty and the electrical effects were unique. OBITUARY Mareus Grady.

Wells of the same place and the suit of Willlam J. Urban of Norwich nst Ralph H. Ur- ban of Norwich for $3,000 - have been | withdrawn from the superior court. ‘The ience a man buys is seldom up. to _the sample submitted, Three hundred and thirteen citizens and taxpayers of the city of Norwich cast their’ vote for’ or = against = appropriating $41.000 ‘with wiiich' to purchase néw fire apparatus for the city at a special “city meeting. held on.Friday evening and T35 of the.313:voted for the- appropriation while. there. were: 128 votes cast against_it. The vote: was taken after a spirited con- test on the matter, the - opposition being led by ex-Mayor T. C. Murphy strongly supported by-Albert Boardman. ’Speaking in favor of the appropriation was Chief Howard L. Stanton, Corporation Counsel Edwin -W. Higgins, Milo R. Waters, Wil- liam J. Fitzgerald, ex-Mayor Charles H. Osgood and “Attorney Charles L. Stew- art. z All other appropriations, which includ- €d.$14.500 for.the settlement of ‘the suit of Miss Mae Richmond against.the city by compromise were voted. without op- position. “The meeting also endorsed the conveying of the deed of the old Falls fire engine house to Gracyam Strelsczyk for 32,600 and the appropriation of the $2,600 received for the property to the uSe of the fire department. The sum of $1,200 was appropriated for the widen- ing of West Main street on’ the northerly side from Falls‘avenue to the bridge over the west arm of the Yantic river. The meéting also unanimously appropriated $3,600 for certain changes in the sidewalk lines-ana grades of Prospect street and alterations incident to such changes as pe- titioned for by St. Mary’s church and as provided in resolutions adopted by the common council on Oct. 18. 1921, Record Attendance for Special Meeting The meeting was called to order at § o'clock by Mayor Herbert M. Lerou and City Clérk Weston C. Pullen read the call for the meeting. There was an at- tendance of over 600 which included a Jarge number of women, making it one of the largest special ¢ity meetings ever held in. the history of the city. Mayor Lerou in his opening remarks, expréssed the appreciation ~of the city | officials at such a large gathering and the manifest interest in city affairs. He also said that no gag rules would prevail 4nd that everyone: would be given oppor- tunity to speak fréely on the matter as all people should be permtitted to speak and talk over-that- which has to do with our_city's welfare. The first matter considered was that of the mayor to turn over a certain, deed signed by him and. sealed with the city’s seal to Gracyam Strzelezyk conveying the real estate known as the Falls fire engine house. Anson R. Grover presented a res- olution, approving the transfer of the deed and also appropriating the proceeds of the sale, $2600, to-the use of the fire de- partment., The resolution was unanimous- 1y passed. Chiet- Stanton Explains Needs After the passase of the first resolu- tion the appropriation of $41,000 for the purchase of ‘three pieces of fire apparatus was considered. ~Anson R. Grover - pre- | sented 'a_resolution - appropriating the money which..the. common councilshould De authorized to be rew n the city's notes the sum (o be paid back in five years in yearly payments. The resolution was sec- onded by Councilman Edward Crooks. When Mayor. Lerou. ealled for remarks Chief Howard L. Stanton explained. why Norwich needed the mew apparatus. He said that Norwich was without: adequate fire protection, three sections -of the city in which there were larfe .manufactories being practically with no protection ex- cept through the stations located’ in the cénter,of the city. Greeneyille, said Mr Stanton, is without protection although iRere is ' horsedrawn aparatus -there. Thamesville is whelly without protection a§ is the Falls district. The Norwich department has three pieces of ‘motor- driven apparatus with the exception of the chief’s .and deputy chief's car. The apparatus inclides two chemicals and a combination pumper and chemical, the latter being the only pumping apparatus in the city. The only other piece of ap- paratus is the horse drawn aerial truck This truck does not owe the city a cent as it has been tne saving of of lives and saving of thousands of doMars worth of property. The three horses that draw it are 21 years old and are not capable to do the wok. The depatment -fie aladm system needs renovating as there are ten alarm boxes.. That have been in use many | vears and are not reliable. We need ap. | paratus and we need it badly sald Chief Stanton. In speaking of the personnel of the department’ the chief said that no eity in the couriry had a better force of men than Norwich. Milo R. Waters heartily endorsed all that had ben said by Chief Stanton and apppealed to the voters to vote the appro- priation. Opposes the Appropriatien T. C. Murphy, who led the opposition to the” appropriation ‘of “the. §41,000, in his opening remarks sald the: Norwich was to be congratulatéd n- having such an able man as Chief Stanton at the head f the fire’ department: He also said he realiz- ed that Norwich needed more apparatus but belleved that the city should not bear the whole expense of the cost. The town town' of Norwich does not bear a cent' of the expense of the fire. department yet many times do the people living outside the city ask for the aid of the department. Why is that we pay $41,000.out at one slap? .Why not let the town pay part. This remark brought forth thunderous applause from the opposition. - Mr. Muf- phy went on to say that he understood that the underwriters had said a number of years ago that the trouble with the local fire department was that it was hampered by politics and that the water mains_ were too small Mr. Murphy then introduced an amend- ment to the original resolution in whieh he . adyocated making the appropriation $15,000 and that the mayor and common council take the matter up with, the town about having the town’ pay part of the expense of the purchase. ° By an acctamation vote tne ‘ment was loat. Ex-Mayor Charles H. Osgood spoke of the unprotectedsection of the eity in the Falls_district where Is located the Falls company, the Norwich Free Academy, Park church and many beautifnl resi- dences. No one can tell when a fire wiil wipe them out and I believe we need the apparatus. amend- Favors More Apparatas Charles L. Stewart in' speaking on the need of more apparatus cited the incident of last summer when within twenty min- utes there were five calls for the depart- ment. Luckily ‘there was no big con- flagration but if there had been there would have been a big loss. Mr. Stewart saf’ dthat he was speaking from personal experisnce as his house was one of the five that was struck’ by lightning. We want to aveid a similr ccearence. It s false_ economry to deiay. the purchase of fire apparatus when at any minuts we may lose tundteds of themsands of dol- lars worth of property by fire. - We have one of ths best fire chiefs in the conntry and we should give him: good 2pparatns and pienty of it to work with. Mr. Murphy -@ain took the foor-plead- ing that it would be better ito $20,000.600 than on the ci d list of $14,006,000, a8 the tax on the individ- wal would be less.

Mr. Higgins said that he thought Mr. Murphy was trying to thresh out.an old matter of the division. of the eity and town which was gone over several, years Mr. Higgins said that he made no defense of the present system of town and city, but as the condftions existed we should deal with the facts and-not ago. theory. . Chief Stanton in epeaking on the mat- ter said that it had been alluded that the fire department was answering calls out- side the city limits. He said that he had answered very few calls outside the lim- its. How would I be held if there was a fire at the Backus hosvital, the Rock Nook home or any other humane institu- tion outside the city limits if I did not answer? If there was a fire I shonid | certainly go. and take the blame for go- ing if blame there was. ‘W. J. Fitzgerald in Favor. William J. Fitzgerald spoke strongly in favor of the buving of new apparatus, especially a new aerfal truck. He told of seeing the horses trying to pull the aerfal over the Boswell avenue hill and getting just so far and being unable to go any shut the east off from the west, and would probsbly have won the war. Roosevelt had moral courage, gald Mr. Abbott. We might differ with him In some of his optnions but we all must ad- mit that he had a superb quality of moral: courage. Mr. Abbott then related a story illustrating Mr. Roosevelt’s moral courage. He told how, Ilike Dewey, Roosevelt lost friends and position, but had the moral courage to persist. Mr. Abbott said Roosevelt had an ever bubbling, joyous sense of hum/r and that he used his sense of humor to point a moral. His sense of- humor helped him over the rough places in life. Most of us.can enjoy a joke at the expense of the other ‘fellow.” Roosevelt could enjoy a ioke at his own expense. Roosevelt had the gentleness and tenderness of a woman.

TUNITED WORKERS' CAMPAIGN Mayor Lerou in speaking of the cost . 5 said that he was familiar with the de- tails of the city's finnaces and that he did not think that $41,000 would be hard to pay in five vears, as during the past five years the city has pald off practical- Iy $116,000 for street improvements. Mr. Murphy then made his final vlea for the voters to consider well they voted their money away, as it was easy to vote money and then regret it afterward. Mr. Murphy said that was the last time he should speak in the city meeting and ask the people to con- sider well before they acted, ¥or Retrenchment. Albert Boardman said that the city could not afford to go into debt while every business in the country was adopt- Ing ‘a plan of retrenchment. He said that even if the city did get the new ap- paratus the insurance companies would find some excuse to boost the rates. He hinted that certain stations in the city had been abandoned with “deifberate in- tent.” He then endorsed Mr. Murphy's idea of letting the town bear part of the oxpense of the fire department. Edward Kirby then asked Chief Stan- ton some questions about pressure. He said: “If there was an 85 pound pres- sure at a hydrant and a pumper: was pumping at 35 nounds from - another hydrant, which would throw the highest stream?” . This question brought forth no little lauzhter, and Mayor Lerou ask- ed Mr. Kirby «to state .the question again. Mr. Kirby had started on the question when someone in the I~ of the hall called out:. Write it, § ite it” Mr. Kirby stated he did not l_w mucn about hydraulics but was looking for in- formation. = : Chief Stanton exnlained to Mr. Kirhy that nowdays the fire departments were not trving to see how high they could throw ‘a:stream of water. but how many gzallons a minute could be poured into a fire. He said that with the pumper 720 gallons per minute could he pumped and It necessary inereased. which could not be done at a hydrant with several lines of hose laid, Vote is Taken. The question was called for and the yote was by ballot, the result being that 185 .voted for the appropriation and 128 against it. - 0 . The next matter taken up was the ap- propriation of $1.200 for the widening of West Main street on the northerly side from Falls avenue to the West Side bridge. Gilbert S. Raymond. who intre- Auced the resolution, said that James 0. | Mahoney would give the strip of land necessary for the widening of the street if the city would pay for the sidewalks The resolution was unanimously voted. The resolution appropriating $3.600 for ablishing certain lines. grades: and sidewalks on Prosnect street near the nv-'dflt, Mary's church was Wnanimously voted. The last appropriation voted was $14 500 to conclude by compromise the suit of Miss Mae Richmond against the city of Norwlch, a case that s now .pending n the superior court.
