BOARD OF sRLRormRN.

The Mayors Unsigned Commuuica-
 tion-Hard Words for the Mayor
 He Replies.
 The mayors room in the city hall Is . small one, but 1t occssioned much spicy talk at the meeting of the board of select men last evening. The bal was started rolling by an unsigned communication from Mayor Sargent. It was in substance as follows:
 "The proposed removal of the mayors office from its present location at come eI- pense places me in @ peculiar place. Here tofore I have refrsinsd from taking any action In this matter except to report mo. tice, to quit as desire to avoid a city vs. town controversy" ! The mayor referred to the probate court which has an office in the county court building. He also stated that the entire tax list of the city and town amounted to | $54 500, 900, of which amount the city's part is $52, ,00O, 900. He did not think that a new oity hall addition should be created at cost of 5000, of which the portion the outside wards would pay would only
 be per cent. He thought the town ought
 to build 1t at their own expense. | When 1t was found that the communica.
 ton was unsigned the question was raised
 as to whether the statements were author
 itative.
 Selectman Stahl stated that the mayor had said that he would bs unable to be
 present Tt the meeting and would send |
 communication.
 "The mayor knows that We cannot re ceive unsigned communications, said Sc
 lectman Pohlman. "It looks ss If the
 mayor had motive in not signing 1t. | looks as though he soliloq nizsd thus: AS long as the court Of common council will . not hear my voice I will go to come on'
 else"
 It was decided to return the communi cation to the mayor for his signature. "I do not want to hear anything on thi mstter," said R E. Baldwin. "1 am tire
 of being instructed by the mayor as t
 what we ought to do in official and privat life"
 "Yes. and he never instructed twic , | alike. He talked on an entirely differen , Asin the other night" said Selectms , Forhes.
 "It seems to me that this matter ough
 to go to the court of common council,
 said Selectmsn Gilbert. It was voted to hold hearing on th . establishing of Forbes avenue north lin

Another Case of Lobby.

The story is given currency that eight Shore Line towns have to pay about $5 ,O0O for lobbying done at the last general az sembly. The story is that the bill refund ing about $20, 900 to these towns for OK penses which they had incurred in grade crossing improvements, was not opposed by any member of the assembly. An op- position, however, was formed in the third house (or lobbymsn) and the towns were told they must release 20 per cent. of their shares of the amount in order to insure the passage of the bill. This amount was in each case taken out before the money was sent to the towns. The bill was kept in committee from early in January until in June.
 The, towns alleged to have been thus dealt with sre Branford, Guilford, Clin- ton, Westbrook, Orange, East Haven, East Lyme, Old Lyme and West Haven.
