BOARD OF FINANCE" MEETS
BILLS WERE AGAIN DISA PPROYED
AND ORDERED SENTBACK.

Long Letter from Director Troup--Rcso-
Iutions for Itimized Bills Tabled Until
Next Mecting-SpecinI Meeting Mon
day.
The board of finance met last night
and again dsapproved the bills Of the
contractors presented by Director
Troup, and voted that they be returned
to the director. A long letter from the
director accompanied the bills, and in it
We're various reasons for his disapprov-
al of the following bills:
Frank Brazos, Willow street bridge,
s760.43 and $S64.1O; r. w. Hildreth, $9a1:
Lawrence o'Brien, S33s.So; New Haven
Street sprinkling company $425; c. w.
Blakeslee & Sons, $46.50 and 500.
The letter was accepted, but the bills
We're each disapproved.
The following resolutions by mem
Der of the board came before the board
and after a lengthy debate 1t was voted
to table them for one week, so 1t is
likely that they will be either voted
down or accepted at the next meeting:
To the Honorable Board of Finance of
the City of New Haven:
In view of the opinions Of the cor
poration counsel stating that the board
OF finance has the right to require Item
lied bills from the department Of parks
and the department of education there
fore, inasmuch as the board Of finance
ought to treat all alike, be 1t
Resolved, That hereafter the board Of
finance require from each department
except the department of the public IL
brary, an itemized statement of all
money spent by such department; and
be it further
Resolved, That notice be sent to
each department except the depart
ment of the public library, informing 1t
that hereafter no bills will be approved
by the board of finance unless item
lied.
The reason the department of the
public library is excluded from this res
olution is that there seems to be doubt
from reading the charter as to whether
this department Is not in different po-
siton from all the other departments
in respect to being required to itemlze
its bills. For no other reason Is 1t ex-
cluded. The drawer Of this resolution
regrets that the charter Is not clear as
to the power Of the board of finance 10
require this department to do what 1t
expressly has the right to require OF all
other departments.
Controller Rowe was authorized to
give orders to have the coming issue OF
bonds autographed.
There will be a special meeting OF the
board next Monday to consider est1-
mates on the bonds. No other business
of Importance was transacted and the
meeting adjourned at 1913. All the
members were present.

ION THE QUIET"

Presented at the Hyperion Last Night
A new comedy entitled ''On the Quiet"
by Augustus Thomas was presented at
the Hyperion last evening to fair siz-
ed house. The principal role Of Rob

to gain the hand of the maiden he loves
goes back to college to spend four years
more and graduate with honors. But

returns to Yale, and his wife loses the
marriage certificate, which has been
found by bookmaker, McGeachey,
who keeps the sword over their heads.
While at his rooms in Yale Ridgeway
is suddenly surprised by his wife's
brother, Horace Colt, who has made the
conditions concerning their marriage.
In trying to keep all things secret
before his brother-in-law Ridgway Is
almost driven to despair He finally
manages to get his wife and himself on
his yacht "Coryphee" and sails away,
eluding all, and when the whole matter
has had sufficient time to blow over he
returns and all ends we'll Mr. Collier

meritorious manner.

QUESTION ANSWERED.

Yes. August Flower stils has the
largest sale of any medicine ia the
civilized world. Your mothers and
grandmothers never thought of using
anythin 2 else for Indigestion or Bilious
ness. Doctors we're scarce, and they
seldom heard Of Appendicitis, Nervous
Prostration or Heart Failure, etc. They
used August Flower to clean cut The
system and stop fermentation of uu-
digested food, regulate the action of
the liver, stimulate the nervous and
organic action Of the system, and that
is all they took when feeling dull and
bad with headaches and other aches.
You only need few doses of Green's
August Flower, in liquid form, to make
you satisfied there is nothing serious
the matter with you. Sample bottles
at Gorrell's Drug Store.
