 Hartford, Oct. 17-Mayor Win. F. Henney of this city, chairman of the Commission on, Uniform City Charters in Connecticut, will call the first meet ing of the commisson in November, the date. being unsettled at present. All mayors of cities in the state are mem- bers and will take part in the delibera- tions. of the commission. George D. Watrous and Mayor Henney received their appointments from Governor Roberts. The visit of Mayor Henney in Scotland during the summer was with the view of learning the municipal Health and Police departments of the great Scotch exponent of good city gov ernment. At the meeting of the com mission in November, Mayor Henney will make a report, covering the main features of municipal administration in Glasgow. He has been furnished with exhaustive material for the report by Mayor James Dalrymple, who is the general manager of the Glasgow Trac- tiol system, the foremost one in Great Britain as an educating force. Mayor Henney, who was elected in 1904 has given Hartford an exceptionally fine administration. He has placed men of ability in the public departments, talk ing the best material to be found for civil service. His selections include men of such standing as Frank c. Sumner treasurer of the Hartford Trust Company; Ralph W. Cutler, president of that company; Robert W. Dwyer, treasurer, of the Dime Savings Bank; Ferdinand Richter, one of Hart ford's bankers; Wm. Bro Smith of the Travellers, and President Meigs H. Whaples of the Connecticut Trust and Safe Deposit Company and acting vice. president of the Connecticut Mutual Life. MT. Sumner is member of the Water Board, and Messrs. Whaples an6 Cutler are on the new Board of Fi nance, which was created by the Leg islature last winter. . ...
 Daniel Readet of the Consolidated road is one of Mayor Henney's appoint ments for the Police Board. Ex-Post- master Frank P. Birmingham, presi- dent of the Water Board, also belongs in. the list of appointments that have given Hartford examples of high civil service under Mayor Henney's admin istration during the past eighteen months It hardly needs to be added that his name is on the lips of the bulk of citizens in Hartford for re- nomination.
 Mayor Henney is a Princeton man, having graduated from that university in 1874. He studied law under Henry HC. Robinson and has for years been the secretary of the Hartford County Bar Association. Mayor Henney pos- sesses special aptitude for public life, and is popular in the best sense of that word. { Senator McGovern of Hartford, who ably represented the sscond District in the General Assembly this year, is out in support of the nomination of Lieu tenant-G Governor Woodruff of New Hav- erl for the governorship. The senator holds that there are only two candi- dates in the field-Lieutenant Governor woodruff and Senator Allan w. Paige of Bridgeport. His avowed support of Lieutenant-Governor Woodruff is far more significant than appears on the surface. It means that "the Hartford machine which includes United States Senator Bulkeley, Ex-Governor George F. Mclean and Railroad Commissioner O. R. Tyler and Andrew F. Gates. will be in the alignment against the candi- dacy of Senator Paige. Senator Nc Govern is one of the strongest leaders of the Republican party in Hartford County, and his outspoken support of Lieutenant- Governor Woodruff is an important element in the canvas in | behalf of the Lieutenant-G Governor. There can be no question concerning 1 the strength of MT. Woodruff in Hart 1 ford County as a candidate for the gov ernorship.,
 | Surgeon General Charles J. Fox, who 1 was on he staff of Governor P. c. Lounsbury, has given up his residence 1 in Willimantic, and will reside in fu- | ture in Hartford having settled here as a specialist. Surgeon-General Fox | is the brother of Dr. Edward c. Fox, at Wethersfield, and os native of that town. His father was an old time physician in Wethersfield and man | of prominence in his profession. Sur geon-General Fox is 8 member of the 1 State Medical society and has been an 1 influential citizen of Windham county for the past twenty years. His remo- val to Hartford is regarded with spec l ial interest by the medical profession. Senator D. Newton Barney of Far mington, who is one of the wealthiest residents in the state, enjoys the dis | tinction of being on at least dozen railroad directorates, including that of 1 the Consolidated road. He is native Of Berlin and a relative of United ] States Senator Frank B. Brandegee. The mother of Senator Barney was. a daughter of Dr. Brandegee of Berlin, a. distinguished physician in his time, and cousin of the late Speaker Aquilus Brandegee. She is still living in the town of Pennington, being a lady of great wealth and accomplish 1 ments. Senator Barney entered, poll
