AGAINST THE HUCKsTERs.

The New Haven Retail Grocers, As
ISOLATION to Hold n Meeting This
Afternoon-Wfll Protest Againat
Street INSTRUMENTATION of Off.
GERS Resignation OF President
Louis ID. Chidsey.
The New Haven Retail Grocers' associa-
ton will hold meeting in room 10, In
surance building. this afternoon at 8
o'clock, at which formal protest against
permitting 80 large a number of street
vendors to hawk their goods in our streets.
Business stsgnation and the dull times
have driven an unusually large number
into street hawking even to the hurt of
the smaller merchants. In Philadelphia
the laws in regard to hucksters are very
strict. They are required to get out their
license in the month of January and they
are also hemmed in with heavy license
fee. According to Connecticut statistics 1t
is impossible to charge heavy license, so
the Grocers' association hope to have an
ordinance passed which will require the
license taken out In the month of January.
This is time when very little hawking
is going on and 1t Is probable that only q
few licenses would be taken out. The
officers of the state association will be
present at to-dsy's meeting. 1t is prob
able that the ordinance committee will be
pstitioned and that some legislation
affecting street hucksters will be passed.
Officers of the association will also be
elected at the meeting. Lewis D. Chidsey,
the present president, has been suffering
severely with the grip for the past two
weeks. He has sent in his resignation Of
president of the association, feeling that
he can no longer attend to the duties con.
nected with the Office. NJ. Wissart is the
present secretary.

VALE! ALDERMEN OF ,9s.

Their Last Meeting Rather Unexcit-
ing-They Get Around the APpro.
Priation Neutrality-suspicious..
The board of aldermen overcame the
difficulty on that Dixwell avenue pavement
matter at the aldermsnic meeting last
night. The councilmen are firm In their
stand on this matter of hardening Dixwell
avenue and for q bell tower on COTE street.
The aldermen wish to have the park on
Hamilton street fenced. -.
Alderman Callahan asked that the board
concur with the councilmsn in their action
regarding the COTE street bell tower. This
vote passed. He then suggested that the
board of aldermen adhere to it's former
action in sppropriating $4,000 for the lay
ing of Belgian block pavement on Chapel
street., This action was taken. The coun-
ciImen wanted this appropriation for Dix
we'll avenue. By the aldermanic action
the disagreement continues and the money
still remains in the city treasury.
Alderman Mcdonald thought that the
item of 81 200 should go in for pavements
without specifying any pavement In par
ticulsr. This would, however, have
necessitsted holding another meeting.
The report of the special auditing COM
mittse In the matter of auditing the books
of the city tax collector was read. This
WAS the last unfinished business of the
year. This report recommends the pass
age of An order providing for the auditing
of the tax collectors booke. The board
adopted the order.
On motion, 81. 300 from receipts from
the back taxes was voted to build fence
around the Hamilton street park.
The tax of 124 mills was voted.
Mayor Sargent called for further bust
ness. None was presented.
Alderman Hitler then arose and in q
very eloquent and spirited address paid a
tribute to President Callahan, Mayor Sar-
gent, City Clerk Martin, City Sheriff
BrsnDfgan and the reporters. Mayer Sar-
gent also thanked the members of the
board.
The board then adjourned sine die.

A Protest Against the Two Hundred
Dollars Appropriation for DIsinfect-
Ing.
At the meeting of the board of health
held last evening the following vote was
passed:
Voted, That it is the sense of this board
that the appropriation of 5000 for disin-
fecting purposes is entirely inadequate for
the requirements Ct this most important
work and hereby place on record its dec
laration that in view of the insufficient re-
sources thus provided for this most neces-
sary of sanitary measures, the work of
the board will be hampered in their efforts
to sufficiently restrict the spread of con-
tagious diseases In the community.
Dr.. Fleiechner, in speaking of the mat

OF professional men and men interested in
the public health. 1t Is not q political
body in any sense of the word, and when
ward politicians tell US that 81, 500 ia too
much for this most necessary work, and
cut us down to 5000, we want to put our
selves on record as protesting against it,"
