KELLY AWARDED s1,6OO
But Hs Did Not At ls Though Hs
 Was Satisfied

There were several members of the Brooklyn and Town Plot Improve ment society present at the meeting of the board of aldermen last night, but when they saw that the James street project was laid on the table they kept their minds to themselves. Thomas Kelly, the baker, was also in attendance, but he, too. said thar so long as the report of the bureau of assessment on the James street mat ter had been tabled he had nothing to say. Mir Kelly was awarded $l,- 600, but judging by the way lie shook his head when he heard the re- port read, 1t would seem that he didn't think this all he was entitled to. Still you never can tell what Kelly Is thinking of and for ali anybody knows the toss of his head may have meant for nod of approval. The thing was held up through n misun- derstanding. For years the city had been hardshipped on account of be- ing obliged to pay damages awarded for layouts as soon as the aldermen uuu SOuulluCu luCAus CfCA tAOuSh SAS work might not be taken hold of for ten or fifteen years later. The benc- fits never were payable until the work was done, but many made a business of settling as soon as they received n statement of what was as- sesed against them. In order to over come this trouble and enable the city to lay out streets without coming down right off with the awards made for damages, two years ago the alder men instructed the city attorney to prepare and has passed an amend ment to section IA of the charter providing that no assessment for eith- CT damages or benefits for any such layout or grade shall be payable or collectable until such work has been completed The amendment was passed, so that favorable action on the James street project would not put the city to any expense so far as paying damages go until the whole job was finished, notwithstanding the contention of MT Goss that if the board should confirm the awards, people in whose favor they had been made, could come in and demand their money and the city would be obliged to pay them.

REPRESENTATIVE HAYES
Docs Not Believe h Changing Chatter
 to EYeyone'S Fancy.

4 t 7 |. ]
 Representative elect Abner F. Hayes was asked to-day what legisla- ton for Waterbury was In the poll tical incubator. 'So far as I know" said Mir Hayes. there Is nothing spoken of.'
 What legislation does the city need, If 1t needs any?" he was asked.
 ''The less legislation the better for any community" he said T think, however the city charter ought to be broad enough to cover many features of modern progress without having fly to the legislature every session to have 1t amended to suit this thing and that thing. In some states the cities are graded into three classes, first, second and third, and there are three grades of charters established to suit the needs of each grade. When n city has progressed from one grade to another grade it's charter is changed to the higher grade.
 T don't think 1t is right that city charter should be cut up every two years to suit the views of some par- ticular individuals in the community. One thing Is certain will not stand for any proposed legislation that may seem in my views to be vicious
 ''What do you think of the pr0pOsi- ton of Commissioner Finn of the board of works to have the charter amended SO that the city can do work which according to the charter now must be done by contract"
 T haven't heard very much about that matter, therefore do not wish to give an opinion on il" said Mir Hayes.
 'The charter at present requires that all work costing $1,000 and over must be done by contract, and It Is Commissioner Finn's idea that the contractors have formed pool 10 keep up contract prices"
 "That is matter that would re- quire looking into. If the situation is as Commissioner Finn says, 1t is a very serious matter and well worth the attention of the properly c0nsti- tuted bodies of the city government. Whether Commissioner Finn stated that as an opinion or as fact l do not know. If as fact, he of course is able to stand by 1t. It is for him to say or do. The board of aldermen hasn't taken any action regarding 1t, that know of and all proposed leg lslation must come through that body.
 T must say" he went on that have not been approached by anyone either in political or civil life about any measures for the general assem- bly to pass upon. Those who consti- tute the various municipal boards are the gentlemen who will make busl- ness for Waterbury's delegation In the general assembly and whether or not they have anything In the incu- bator have not heard. suppose there will be plenty of business for us however, when the time comes"

 Anthony Rodinski of Railroad Hill street. who lost $500 Thanks giving night, Is still bemoaning the loss of his money. Although the de- tective department was put on the case 1t is not likely that they will be able to find the burglar, as in such cases it is very hard to get trace of the fellow who takes the money.
 --Already the business at the sub station at Walkers drug store Is on the increase. coming on the holidays. It Is surprising. the amount of 5usi- ness that is carried on at the sub station during the months of Decem- Der and January. There are a vast number of people living In Brooklyn who have friends and relatives in the old country and from the first of De cember until along In the middle of January they are busy sending mon- ey and ether valuable articles. Too much care cannot be taken In ad- dressing all packages and letters, as once lost there is very little chance of finding them.
 Already there are some families In this section who are looking for aid from the charity department. not having coal in their homes. They manage to hang on until the snow flies. but when that covers the ground they seem to give up hope. The writer yesterday morning witnessed a man teiephoning to the department for not only food and fire. but also medical assistance as one of his family was III. There is plenty of work around for able-bodied men. but some are unable to labor and although they do not care to ask for aid they are finally compelled to.
 John Henderson and Patrick McNamara appeared before the board of aldermen last evening to express the opinion of the Brooklyn and Town PIst Improvement com mittee ia regard to the action of the aIdermanic body relating to certain improvements in Brooklyn. The members of the board of aldermen state they are willing to do the square thing by this section of the city and if they do the taxpayers will not make any howl But In view of the very few improvements they have received in the past the residents have become weary of promises and are now looking for results.
