 The board of public safety holds the record for holding meetings. Since the city became fact there has never been a board that has held so many meetings, public and execu- tice, as has this board of safety. It held another last Saturday evening, a special meeting for the disposition of a lot of business, but mainly for examining the long list of applicants for positions on the call fire force. Of the forty-four on the list only just one-half that number appeared
 The application of the Waterbury Athletic club for boxing permit was granted after some discussion. The manager of the club, J. J. Carroll, appeared before the board and made a statement. He was questioned to some extent by Commissioner Fay Tor. MT Carroll said that while he had no objection to stating that the president of the club was John Hur- ley, he did not wish to make public the names of the other members. Mir Carroll then underwent an examina- tion as to the standing of the club, 1t being evidently supposed by the board that it's organization was mere ly on paper and that it's packers were out-of-town men. MT Carroll satisfied the board that his club was Q legitimate organization and there upon his application was granted The dispute between the city and the Connecticut Railway and Power com pany as to the number of lights re- mo fn6 QTTf riPI1f I1r1 lao an1i derwent another turn. Mr SeWell, general manager for the company, claims that the number is not as large as is reported by the police, and that some lights are duplicated i'll the report, by mistake. As the sugges- tion made before the last meeting of the board that the company's watch man report at the police station night ly, has been in operation for sonic weeks it was decided to take no fur ther action for the present, but await results. This idea of the watchman reporting at the police station is to find what grounds there is in the company's statement that some com plaints are repeated in the policemen's reports.
