MILE AND BREAD WEEK 3 PROPOSED FOE NORWICH Tentative plans for a Milk and Break Week campaign to be held the first week in June were made Monday evening at fairly representative gathering of the bakers and retail milk dealers of Nor- wich at the Chamber of Commerce rooms. Fred N. Graham of Philadelphia, a rep- resentative of the Fieischmann Xt WAS FORMERLY SOLOIST AT Mrs. Oliver M. Nash, alto soloist ‘east company, was present/at the meeting and expiained the proposed campaign. The meeting was called to order about 9 o'clock by Matthew Barr of the local bakers. Mr. Barr explained the purpose of the gathering and then introduced Mr. Graham, who spoke for three-quarters of an hour. Mr. Graham tolq of the origin of the Bread and Milk week idea a year ago in Pennsylvania and of how successful the campaign proved In that state. Ninety cities put on the campaign in Pennsylva- nla and on the average the dairymen showed an incréase of 17 per cent. in the use of milk and the bakers an increase of 14 per cent. In the use of bread. This is an educational campaign, sald Mr. Graham. Its purpose is to educate the public in the heaith values of bread and mifk, which form a perfect dlet. He sald that New England dairymen and bakers, hearing of the success of the campaign in Pennsylvania, became in- terested and held a meetirg in Hartford recently which was largely attended and arrangements were made for a Milk and Bread week to be held in every city and town in New England Juns 5-10, with a follow up week June 11-18 under the au- spices of the New England Bakers' and Dairymen's association. Mr. Graham explained how the cam- palgn was to be put over. Get everybody from the mayor down interested, your town school committee, the school chil- dren, Rotary club, Woman's club and other such organizations. The news- papers are with us in this campalgn, we will have to do some advertising with them, but they in turn will lend a hand with editorials and snappy storles about the gualities of bread and milk. Remem- ber, this is not an advertising scheme but an educationg campalgn. Mr. Graham told how the campaign was boomed In other cities. “The first thing to be done,” satd Mr. Graham, “is to get your mayor to issue a proclamation like ail other mayors fot a Bread and Mik week, then get the children interested, get the teachers and school board to set aside one day of the campaign week to furnish the children a supply of milk, the children to bring thelr bread lunches. Get the Rotary club and the Woman's club to talk the matter over at their meetings. Prize essays at the schools on the subject of bread and milk will help create interest. It will be a great thing fof you gentlemen. It ir not, only doing 2 good turn but will increase your business.” : J. D. McCarthy, president of the Dairymen's aseociation, sald that in his opinion the idea {s a mighty good thing. C Agent H. F. Johnson sald he can't see any reason why the Bread and Milk week. campaign shouldn't be put across successfully. The proposition looks good and T don’t was in Walton cemetery, Pepperel.

Under the new charter the gity will be divided into six distriots, district to be repre- sented by one Or more residents of that district, as follows: The Central with three representatives, the west with two representatives, the north with two cep- resentatives, the Greeneville with two representatives, the east with one repre- sentative, the south with one representa- tive—a total of 11 aldermen. The num- ber of aldermen is based as nearly as possible on an equal representation of the populartion, approximately one represent. ative for 70 persons. The mayor and al- dermen are elected for two years. Pro- vision i{s made for special elections and special city meetings. A city controller will be appointed for two years. He shall be nominated by the mayor and accepted by the board of finance, with the written approval of the majority of the board of finance excepting the mayor and control- ler. The controller shail be subject to the direction of the heard of finance. The duties of the controller will be to month- ly audit the bills of each department, oertify all debts, and generally look after the finances of the city. The city clerk will devote his entire time o his duties. + Ko shall be clerk for the board of alder- men, board of finance, and act as secre- tary to the mayor. He will have an office and regular hours at city hall. There will be eight departments as follows: Finance, public Works, cemeteries, police, fire, park, water, gas and electric. The creation of a finance board is a partcu- larly strong recommendation for the new chacter. It shall consist of the mayor, the controller and one alderman, elected by the board of aldermen, and four citi- zens, none of whom shall hold any other public offics, and shall not receive any salary. Not more than four members of this board of seven shall belong to any one political party. The four appaint- ments of ‘citizens to the board by the mayor will be subject to the approval of the board of aldermen. This board shall hold regular meetings and look after e ery phase of the city finances. Thus the financial affairs of the city will be care- fully scrutinized and controlled. The board of public safety is new. This board will have control of the police and fire de- partments. It will consist of five resl- dent electors, serve without pay, and hold no other city office. The mayor will ap: point the members of this board and not more than three members shall belong to one_political party. This board will elect its own president and shall have complete control of the police and fire departments. Surely the creation of this board is com- mendable. The board of public works is another commendadle creation. This board is created the same as that of pub- lic safety. According to the charter, this board shall appoint as a director of public works, or superintendent of streets, a person possessing practical knowledge of eagineering. He shall have charge of making surveys, maps, plans, drawings and estimates relating to his department. He will also have charge of the ceme- terfes, subject to the approval of the boards of aldermen and public safety. This should make for a practical business administration of this {mportant city de- partment. The park commissioners, the water board and the gas and electrio commissioners continue as they are at present. It will be noted that the gas and electric commissioners and the board of finance will be appointed by the mayor subject to the approval of the board of aldermen. The water commissioners will be elected by popular ballot with one member from the board ofaldermen as at present. The boards of public safety and public works are appointed by the mayor, similar to the present method of appoint- ments to the park board. It has been stated that the mayor has too much pow- er under the new charter. As a matter .| of fact, the only boards created under the new charter whose members are not con- firmed by the board of aldermen are the boards of public safety and public works. The members of both thess boards are appointed by the mayor evactly the same to in L. under the present charter. new charter the mayor will not preside at the meetings of the board of alder- men, thus divorcing the chief executive fro mthis legislative body. He will pos- sess the power of veto, and the aldermen can override the mayor's veto by a twe- thirds majority\vote. ‘The %hoard of ‘al- dermen will elect one of their own mem- bers for president and vice president and thees officers shall preside at all meet- ings. In the absence of both those offi- cers the board shall elect a temporary chairman. The mayor has power to call a speclal meeting of the board of alder- men. The presiding officer of the alder- men, of speclal commissions of this board, of the several boards of commis- sloners, shall haVe power to compel at- tendance and testimony of Witnesses at hearings, issue subpoenas, and the right to apply to the common pleas or superior courts for an order compelling witnesses to attend and testity. Whenever bonds for public improvement or the sale of real estate owned by the city is presented for ection, the matter is referred for action to a special city meeting, providing it first meets the approval of the alderme: and the finance board. This gives the voters of Norwich an opportunity to volce their sentiments upon such fmpor- tant matters. It might be stated here that the boasd of aldermen cannot in- crease an appropriation submitted by the finance board, but can decrease an ap- propriation. The board of aidermen may take action, upon complaint of at least 10 per cent. of the electors, by holding hearings and empowering removals of any municipal officer believed to be un- worthy of his position.” This is a brief resume of the important changes and ad- ditions as proposed by the nmew charter. The proposed charter may have weak- nesses which may develop as time goes on, #t would not be a human instrument it it diant, but the fact remains that the proposed charter is progressive, it is wor- thy of adoption, and it should meet the approval of all fair minded citizens who desire to see Norwich take a great big stride ahead for s further progress. As members of an organization that strives to make Norwich a vigorous competitor of other Connecticut cities for growth and ity, we should do everything pos- sible, individually and collectively, to have the new charter accepted at the city election on June 5th. We end as we be- gan, in the hope that you will give this matter your serious consideration, and we bespeak your favorable support for the of in to 4, he oll of Miss Annie C. Buckley, R.
