First Seleotman of North Haven May Succeed c. w. Miller as
 County Commissioner.
SUPPORT FOR HIM HERE
Local Members of Legislature Favor Him-A Claim That Country
 Town Gets Too Much.

While there has been no formal cau- GUS of the members of the next lesls- lature from New Haven county. still il has been almost decided and can be said on good authority that the next county commissioner will be D. Walter Patten of North Haven and that George w. Miller, who was appointed after the death of F. Foote Thompson will be retired. Further than this it is stated that one of tho present county commissioners Jacob D. Walter. and Internal Revenue Collector Robert O. Eaton are actively working in favor of Mir Patten, The caucus of the dele gates will ho hold at the time of tho opening of the legislature. but long be- fore that it will be decided who will have the plum.
 Candidates besides Mir. Patton and Mir. Miller include Deputy Judge John Wilkinson of orange and Representa- tive-elect Emil Loos of this city. Mir. Loos believes that New Haven should have a representative on the commis- sion as there has been none from the largest city in the county for many years. Many citizens support him in this contention Some effort has been made to get Captain Luzerne Lnding- ton to enter the race, but he has been i holding sloof and now has practically ! decided to make no effort to break mp l the slate
 If Mir Patten gets the office it will he the third in a very short time for North Haven people and New Haven i people claim that this is unfair since l there are scarcely zoo voters In that town, Robert o. Eaton is internal revenue collector at $500 year. Hu- bert F Potter Is dairy commissioner at s2,O0O and tho county commissioner ship has salary of s2,000 with very lt- tie work MT.

The only opponent of tho petition was acting Manager Harlan of tho Connecticut company, He op- posed it for the company on the ground that the change was not necessary one and that it would involve expense out of proportion to the good results to be obtained Representatives from the telephone company were on hand but did not enter into the discussion The committee did not decide on q report' but will probably meet on the matter again in about q week

PARK BOARD TO GET MORE MONEY Important Revision of the City Charter to Be Put Up to
 the Aldermen Next
 Monday
OTHER CHANGES PLANNED
Provision Calling for Special ElCC- ton In Case the Office of Mayor Becomes
 Vacant.

Although the public hearing hold by the aldermanic committee on leg Islation lasted only about d quarter of an hour last night the committee held a very lengthy executive session af- rewards in conjunction with the cor poration counsel at which a number the city were considered, approved of and prepared with favorable re- ports for tho meeting of the board of aldermen on Monday night. The first one which was heard at the public session was that submitted hy th board of park commissioners asking that the special act referring to that department hc amended or suggested to the legislature for amendment so IS to allow the board of aldermen and the board of finance to appropriate as much as third of a mill from the taxes each year for that department and also to alter the charter so that tho park board may make purchases Of land and other property without the consent of the board of aldermen which is at present required by the charter
 Tho present act permits the grant ing of but one-fifth of a mill from the taxes each year for the park depart ment This makes a maximum In this section the committee decided to grant the petition of tho park board and to permit the appropria- ton, if the legislature passes the amendment of one-third of mill a year if the board of finance and the board of aldermen see fiji. The third section of the present act reads that tho department shall not expend more than S6,o00 on any one park The park board wanted this changed and the committee will report in favor of changing this maximum to read ss,- 900 The fourth section permitted the board of finance to make an extra appropriation of money not otherwise appropriated, to the use of the park department not to exceed s7,0O0 for the year 1901 only, and this section as amended will strike out this maxi mum and allow tho appropriation of any such sum that may seem dnsra blc for any year instead of just a single year.
 President Henry T. Blake of the park board appeared in favor of the petition. He explained tho reason ro, 
 the request which was mainly that the board needed more money to propcrl, care for the park system. He said that al present the park board Is pur. chasing land without permission ex. pressly of the board of aldermen
