Noyes is chairmgn, and which will be presented 0 the voters of the city this coming spring for their approval or disap- proval, will, if it is’ adopted, abolish the city meeting insofar as appropria- tions are concerned, and will place the control of the city’s finances with a board of finance. The city budget as prepared by the board of finance will be subject to a two-thirds vote of a board of aldermen, which with a mayer will constitute the governing body of the city. This is the most radica change in city affalrs contemplated by 'the charter commissicn in the Dew charter. The (roposed changes in the matter of city —government were unfolded Tuesday evening by Martin E. Jen- sen, chairman of the sub committes of the charter commission in csharge of the completing the draft of the new charter, at a public hearing held in the common council chamber at the court house. No opposition to the new charter develop- ed at the hearing, although a number of question were asked and several suggestions made, s The hearing, which is one of twa arranged for this week by the charter commission, was held for the purpose of securing public sentiment on the provisions of the new charter and also for the purpose of giving the citizens of the city a chance to make”sugges- tions which will be taken into con- sideration by the commission. | The hearing was called to_order at 8 oclock sharp by Chairman Noyes. I suppose you know the charter com- ! mission has held many meetings during | the past few months, said Mr. Noyes. verything we have incorporated in the draft of the new charter is tentative. We realize we may have overlooked some ithings whicf may be vital. The clerk {-¥ill make & record of any suggestions or criticisms that*may be made here to- night so that we can take them up for scussion later. So far very little has speared in the press Regarding the provisions of the new charter. All is in the rough at the present time but as it stands we are agreed as a commis- sion. Tonight you will get some idea as to the proposed charter. Mr. Jensen Explains, Mr. Noyes then asked Mr. Jensen to take the chair. Mr. Jensen said the pre- paration of the charter is well under- way and that it is expected it will be completed not later than the first week in February. A large part of it is com- plete now, Mr. Jensen said, and the rest is in shape and is waiting to be typed. Mr. Jensen said he believed this is a g0od time to make ‘changes if they are found desirable. “When is it proposed to vote on the charter?” asked John J. Corkery. MygiJensen said it is planned to vote on t] charter at a special election ear- 1y in May. \ When to Take Vote. Mr. Corkery said that when the char- ter matter first came up it was suggested that it be voted upon at the regular elec- tion, which would come in June. He sald he did not think it would be possible to get. out 60 per cent, of the voters to vote on the charter at a special eleotion. It has been said that the voters would not vote on the charter on the regular elec- tion day althoush they voted on candi- dates, he continued. To uphold his contention that 60 per cent. of the voters would vote on the charter on the regular election day Mr. Corkery sald that in 1917 when the li- cense question was before the votérs the vyote Tesulted in 2,640 votes for and 1,- 550 votes against license, making a total of 4,196. At the same election the vote Eive the public the changes in simmle language, the other things to follow. Six Clty Voting Districts. Another question brought up was that regarding any contemplated change In he voting districts. Mr. Jensen sald thera would be six districts in the city. The West Side, Greeneville and Preston districts would be the same but the Central district would be dlmd into three districts, the Cen- tral, rel Hill and the Falls. Each district would vote on its own aldermen. In this way It can't come about that one district could dominate the city. /The, Central distriet would have thi aldermen, the Greeneville district two, West, two, north (Falls), 2, south (Laurel Hill), 1 and East district, 1, making a total of 11. Is that arrangement made on the basis of population? asked Mr. Corkery. Approximately, | said Mr. Jensen. There has been a good deal of discus- slon over the Central district, said Mr. Noves. It is a hard district to separate. Is the matter of holding public ¢ity meetings mentioned in the charter? ask- ed_Mr. Raymond, You mean city meetings for appropri- atlons, ete.? queried Mr. Jensen. Yes, regular and special city meetings, called by petition of the voters. In_answering Mr. Ravmond's question, Mr. Jensen explained somewhat in detail the workings of the new city government. The mayor does mot sit with the board of aldermen, he said. They: are purely a_legislative body. They clect thelr own chairman. The mayor would ‘have the power of veto. If the veto'is exercised a two-thirds vote of the board of alder- men conld pass the measure over the mayor's, veto. Board of Fimance) The most important committee of the new form of government is the board of finance. The mavor wonld be the chalrman of this committee, the alder- men would elect one of their number to the committee, the city treasurer would be a member and four citizens who do not hold public office would be asked to serve, their appointments to be made ¥ the mayor subject to the approval of the board of aldermen. This committee would have full charge of the city’s finances. The street department committee would be composed of five citizens under a director of public works. The ‘water department and the park depaftment would remgin as they are. We can't toueh the ras and electric department. They exist under a speclal state statue. The police and fire department world be under one board called the board of pub- lic safety. Invite Best Citizens to Help. We want to invite some of our best citizens to take hold and help our board of aldermen. Citizen appointments would be made by the mayor. All aldermen and appointees would serve without pay. You gan't get much work for no pay, said Mr. Holbrook. Can’t you get good men to sbrve on these committees just the same as we get men 'to serve on the board of gas and electric commissioners and the park board? asked Mr. Noyes. , Can’t we get men to accept appolntments, men who wouldn’t go out for public office for fear of being knocked down? This plan has Dbeen worked out in other cities. It 1s the thought of wiser men than the one who 4s talking to you now, that the people to conduct the finances of the city are the people who have some reason to believe they are experts in the matter, sald Mr. Jensen. It is proposed to follow New Haven in the, matter. In October the board of finance would prepars the estimates of the receipts and dlsbursements of the city for enusing Wscal vear and would fix the tax rate, necessary to raise the - i only giving him power, but in, usibility on him,, sal AR ¢ 32 _As 1t geemed to be the general opinion that the to a close about 9.30 o'clock. Another Hearing Thursdey. Mr. Jensen announced that another ‘public hearing will be held E% ening by the commission. those present to spread the word and expressed a hope that the hearing will be I ml{h qtt;ndehd; ¥ or earing Mr. Noves, chalr- man of UA charise ou sion, com- mented upon the absence of women from the audience. There were no women present. Mr. Noyes sald he hopes the women will take an intérest in the new charter and attend the hearing Thurs- day evening, inasmuch ay the approval or rejection of the new charter depends as much on thelr votes as on the men's votes. i 2 —_— ASKS FOR DIVORCE, ADMITS i narourhy Slscoseed the Beariog came |5 i, there ur;wmflultm% osn and coust Detwe 3 agreed to y h-nh LIVING WITH OTHER WOMAN Dean H.

Judge Brown faced around towards the witness stand and declared that this was the most bare-: faced piece of effrontery that had ever come to his motice. A minute, later he declared that criminal authorities in New Haven county ought to be notified of this and he told Richards that what Richards had done might entitle him to be sent to state prison. Attorney Clayfon Smith, counsel for the man, at once disclaimed any know- ledge of these circumstances, and Attok- ney D. M.

She wanted to go back to Athol and one Saturday night in August, 1918, she had disappeared, bag and baggage. He had not seen her again until he saw her in court. RichaJs said he had nothing against his wife, but they were mismated and it was a big mistake they ever wers mar- ried. _Since she went away he had made no. effort to see her, as he-was satisfied to have matters as they were. ‘When Attorney Cronin togk up the cross examination he asked about a wom- an named Morgan whom Richards had known in New Haven.

Jerry McCauley was an outcast, a thorough down and ou. man; he attended a meeting and when he heard of the power of God to remake a man, he complied with the conditions and for many years that power worked through him to save for society many other out- casts; so we need not fear to believe that the great unseen power of God will help us to be the right kind of men.

Tradition of Indian Converts The qurrent issue of The Catholic Transcript, published at Hartford, has the following: ’ There is a Cathole tradition of early Connecticut that is partioularly interesing to the people of the eastern part of the state. According to the venerable mi: sicnary of early days, Rev. James Fiiton, the first resident Cathelies in Conmecticut were seventcen mdians, who had been carried to Europe about two bundred and fifty years ago by a shipmaster who sailed the Thames river, thgre instruatei inp Catholic faith, baptized and brought back to their native land, eventually seftling in the vicinty of Norwoh. ~Father Fittce firmly believed this aneient tradition, which he cited at the dedication of St. Patrick’s chureh, Norwich. Among nddan relics found in graves near Norwich were rings on ywhich were engraved two hearts, and "bottles pagtially filled . with ater. The hearts represgnied were supposed to be these of Jesus and Mary, the rings hav- ing been given the Indian converts when they were baptized. Father Fitton was convinced that the water in the bottles was Noly water, If a man is a good listener a wo- man votes him as an entertaining con- versal If at a regular election would it be by machine? asked Mr, Noyes. = I think it would be either way, by bal- Yot or machine, said Mr. Holbrook . There is not much attention pald to special questions placed on the ma- chine? queried Mr. Noyes. Not 10 per cent, said Mr{ Holbrook. A great many people don't know how to vote pn special questions, placed on the machine, Mr. Jensen sald. Many haye simply raised the little slide oyer the question and think they have voted. Election Every Twe Years, Continuing Mr. Jensen salds It the charter is adopted at a special election in May the new officers under the mew charter would go into office January 1. The present clty officials would hold over six months. The new election day would be the first Monday in December and officers would be eleot- ed for two years. That would mean an elegtion once every two years. Mr. Jensen then went on to explain why it is proposed to change the city’s year to correspond wWith the calendar year, January 1st to December 3ist. If We adopt the charter In May the pres- ent incumbents will remain in office un- tll their successors are chosen in De- cember and qualify in January, Officers Under New Charter. Who are the officers to be elected un- der the new charter? asked Mr. Hol- brook. The same as they are now, only they will be called aldermen, instead of al- of Norwich I should say the salary for a comptroller might be placed at $3,000, mot over $3,500. In regard to the relation of the citi- zens to the finance board Mr. Jensen sald that the ctizens would have tho privilege to appear before the bhoard of finance In the interests of appropriations, regular or speclal. They could make suggestions or requests. Removal From Office. In regard to the removal from office of any city official, elective or appointive, Mr. Jensen sald any city officlal who should happen to become offensive or who neglected his duty could be remov- ed from office by the mavor. Removal of any officer of the city government could be accomplished on petition of 20 citizens to the superlor court, if cause was shown. 5 M. J. Coscoran suggested that public hearings be held by the finance board on the budget in order to give the clt- izens a chance to air their views. Robert McNeely suggested that in the event of the death, resignation or re- moval of the mayor that the aldermen Dbe given power through the charter to fill the office by one of their numbers, possibly the presiding officer of _the hoard, for the unexpired term of ‘the mayor, and thus do dway with the ex- pense of a speclal eity election, Mr. Jensen sald Mr. McNeely’s sug- gestion will be glven consideration by the charter commilssion. He thought it a zood one. Germen and councilmen, They will be elected for two ¥ears? asked Mr, Holbrook. Yes, answercd Mr. Jensen, John J, O'Rourke, secretary of the chamber of commerce, said it means hard work to get the voters out. He said every means possible should be used to get the whole matter before the elector- ate through publicity. It might be dons through using the schools in the various districts. You will bave to make tre- mendous use of the newspapers and you have got to send speakers to every or- ganization you can think of. It is going to be hard work to get out 60 per cent. ©f the voters. X The same ideas have been in our minds, said Mr. Jensen and we have started to use the papers. Wo tools the view that the first thing is to Mr. O'Rourke asked i anything had been done about a purchaser of supplles for the city departinents. No, answered Mr. Jensen. Each de- partment tkes care of its own affalrs. Has that matter heen given any thought -by the commission? asked Mr. O'Rourke. ./ Y Yes, sald Mr. Jensen. Approval of Appointments. TPhrough dlscussion which followed it was brought out that-the appointments made by the mayor, With the exception of the finance appointments, would not Dbe subject to the approval of the board of aldermen. Mr. O'Rourke asked if there wasn't a weakness in_this. James C.
