 The Associated Societies Of New Ha- ven, whose Sunday mass meetings last year in behalf of civic betterment cre- ated wide attention, announces plans for the coming season. One Of the most interesting statements is that which says that the use of Woolsey hall will be asked for.
 The plans of the Associated Societies of New Haven for the coming year are beginning to take definite form After carefully considering the question the executive committee has decided to hold only three or four large mass meetings during the year, unless some special occasion should arise, and, in pursuance of the original Dlan to se-- cure for these meetings speakers of na- tional reputation, who will be able to deal effectively and authoritatlvely with some vital phase of civic or national lie Especial attention will be given to the study of what municipalities at home and abroad have done to improve the character of citizenship, to develop civic pride and to improve the admin istration of our cities. Several men, prominent because of their public achievements, have already pledged their services during the year to the New Haven movement The arrange ments for the large meeting, which will probably be held Sunday November 25 or December ?, are in charge of a spe- cial committee, which will soon be able to announce the subject and speakers. Application will also be made for the use of Woolsey hall at the first meeting of the Yale corporation, which will he held November 19.
 To deal with questions of local inter- est to consider reports of committees and to make practically useful the re- suits of the larger meetings, the execu- ! tive committee has arranged for meet. ings, as occasion demands, in a smaller hall, better adapted to informal ad- dresses and discussions. The United church, through it's officers, has gener- ously placed it's church building at the disposal of the Associated Societies and the citizens of New Haven for these meetings.
 In view of the alarming prevalence of diphtheria and typhoid fever in cer- tain sections of the city at the present time, and of the aetiye movement all ready inaugurated bys the board of health, the Women's Civic club, pr. Bartlett and others forIbetter sanitary conditions and clean milk the executive committee has thought best to make the "Clty's Health" life general sub- ject for the first citizen$ meeting The programme has been prepared under l the direction of a subfommlttee coh- slsting of Professor BaiAy;- Dr. Wright, chairman of the board gof health; Dr. Bartlett, Professor Kent, Mrs. Henry Wade Rogers. and Mrs. Leo Herz.
 This meeting will be held a week from yesterday, Friday, the feth, at 8 D. m., in the United church. All citizens of New Haven interested in the health of the city are invited to De present. The public interest manifested In this move- ment will undoubtedly influence the ac- tion of the board of finance in deciding whether or not to adopt the recom- lmendation of the board of health that the city erect an incinerating plant and radically improve it's present unsats- factory method of dlsposing of it's gar bage. The question of proper milk in- Ispeotion is also an issue, involving only la slightly increased expenditure of pub lie money supplemented by a greatly increased and more Intelligent popular Interest in this most important subject.
 pr Roland G. Freeman, assistant professor of children's diseases at Bel llevue and University Medical school of New York, who has probably done more than any other man in New York to secure pure milk, and who has been es- Ipecially active in connection with the famous Strauss milk depots, which sup Iply milk for the poor, will speak on Clean Milk and What 1t Means to a iCity." The question of the Disposal of City Refuse" will be discussed by Wv. F. Morse, also of New York city, who is generally recognized as the lead- ling sanitary engineering, specialist in America in this field.
