In Common Council

In the Common Council, Councilman
David A. Donley got after the public
buildings department for the way the
Beacon Street fire engine house is be-
ing erected, by introducing an order
directing the superintendent of public
Buildings to report at the next meeting
the causes for delay in erecting the
building. He said the work is being
done in a very shiftless manner, and
to the great discomfort of the fremen
who occupy the house He has been
unable to find out the cause, but he
has found at times only one or two
men at work on the building. 1t is a
blot on the record of the city govern
ment to have a contract let and the
work done in this way. The men are
occupying a shed in the rear of the
house and in the same shed are the
horses and engines. Somebody Is to
blame for the conditions as they exist
and the council should know who ii is
The order was adopted
When the order for the purchase Of
the Mary Mellen lot at Vernon Square
as site for the fire department house
was brought up, Councilman Charles S.
Holden opposed its adoption on the
ground that there is no need of a fire
department house at that place, be-
cause the territory is already well pro-
JeCIeu Win the apparatus on Lamar
tine. Grafton and Providence Streets.
Councilman Joseph p Morrissey said
it is the intention to put a fire engine
nearer than Front Street, and there is
a lot of valuable property on Union
Hill. The order was adopted by a vote
Of 20 to 3, those who voted against 1t
being Councilman Holden, Clark and
Mutt.
1t was 1915 this morning when the
council took from the table the ordi-
nance creating a board of public works,
as published in The Spy last Tuesday
morning.
The ordinance was taken from the
table on motion of Councilman Crosby,
who objected to its second passage.
Councilman Dean poked a few holes in
the ordinance as it stands, and when
he got through with it, further action
on it was postponed indefinitely on
motion Of Councilman Bragg.
At 1 o'clock. the meeting adjourned
to next Monday night.

by the company into the city treasury
adding not less than $4,000 per year to
the deficit already noted.
Your committee believes that the
same conditions and reasoning apply
with equal force to the property and
business of the Gas Light Company.
This company is capitalized at
100000 and has assets according to its
last report $733 000 Their stock is worth
not less than $225 per share on the mar
ket, thus making its property too
valuable for us to acquire under the
statute
AS the result Of the foregoing in
vestigation, your committee recon-
mends that it is not eXpedient for the
City of Worcester to exercise the
authority conferred in Chapter $40 of
the Acts of 1891 and Acts in Amend
ment thereto, in the matter of aoquir-
ing a municipal electric light plant

When the question of adopting an
order providing for vitrihed brick on
School Street from Union Street to
Summer Street came up, Alderman
Edward J. Mcmahon moved that the
order be recommitted to the committee
on streets. Alderman Mcmahon stated
he had heard from an expert that vitri
fled brick was the worst possible form
of paving. When the alderman was in
formed by President Bousquet that
similar order had just passed for paw
ing another portion of School Street
with vitrified brick, Alderman McMa-
hon then moved that the former action
be reconsidered and the order having
been brought back from the Common
Council, it was moved that the order
be recommitted to the committee.
Alderman Wilhelm G.. Lichtenfels of
the committee on streets said that as
the vote of the committee as it had
been unanimous in favor, it would be
unnecessary to recommit the order to
the committee. This remark led to a
little tiff between Aldermen Lichtenfels.
McMahon and Lancaster, and the lat
ter member of the upper board made
strong appeal for recommitting the
order He felt it would be an injury to
have any street with an unsuitable
pavement
He said that it was the duty Of the
committee to give the matter their
consideration once more.
Alderman Lucen B. Stone spoke in
favor of vitrifed brick. and wanted to
know what objection there was to its
use. The question was then put and
the order was recommitted to the COM
mittee on streets.
The order granting locations asked
for to the Hartford & Worcester Street
Railway Company on Stafford and
Ludlow Streets, was adopted. Orders
granting the Providence & Worcester
Street Railway Company and the Wor-
cester Consolidated Street Railway
Company. certain locations for tracks,
were granted.
Adjournment was taken at / o'clock
until Thursday noon

The financial showing of the scav-

elusive evidence that the most econ
omicaI method of garbage disposal is
natures way via swine. When the
garbage of a city of $4,000 is disposed
of at a net cost of $4,000, there is little
left for argument for the ultra-sani-
tary fadists.
