LONG ON WORK
 SHORT ON FUNDS
This is State of Affairs in Department of City Engineer-zink Holds
 up Bill.

Alderman Zin4z, Alderman from the 12th district, refused at the meeting od
 the Finance committee last night to
 allow the passage of a bill from Me Elroy & Kershaw, engineers. for s111.7 70 The bill came through the Police de- pertinent and was approved by Com missionerS Coughlin and Hurley. Ii was for 7 hours work at 65 cents an hour and the services of three men for two days locating fire alarm boxes.
 Alderman Zink's refusal to O. K. the bill was based on the ground that the city charter which placed the city en- gineer on a salary basis says that all surveying and engineering work should be done by the city engineer. The bill 'was held up for further inquiry into the matter.
 President Hill of the Police board said this morning that the Police de- partment recently mapped out 1S0 new posts and that two maps were needed, one to show the day beats and one to show the night posts. He said the Police department secured the original maps from the office of the city en- gineer. These represented the bulk of the work. He understood that En- gineer McKenna would be unable to fill in the posts on the maps and To- cate the police boxes, the fire alarm boxes, police stations, and red signal lamps at that time.' Therefore the de- partment, which wanted the map com- pleted at once, got the work done out side.
 The department of the engineer is crippled by lack of funds. Besides having the regular summer work of grades for new streets and sewers to do this year. the engineer is obliged to keep a gang at work on the Congress street bridge job, and since Director Biltz put on a corps of side walk inspectors property owners are into the office asking for the grade in front of their property; also there is the work of establishing new lines for the 20 inch curbing to be laid in Main street. The department is so rushed that Engineer McKenna is obliged to work himself with his out side surveyors and to do his office work evenings.

 Az the close of his testimony, after he had been made aware that some people had him under suspicion. he made the statement that he could not help what they said, and that his mother was the best friend he had in the world.
 At the inquest this morning Grand Juror David [. Rhoades put in an ap-

PUNISHING PALMER FOR
 ANTI LILLEY FIGHT

Without explanation the General As sembly of Connecticut has indicated that it has no intention of continuing in public office George S. Palmer of New London. the man who led the fight of the manufacturers against the nomination and election of Gov. Lil- ley.
 MT. Palmer has been a trustee of the Connecticut Agricultural College. The terms of third trustees having expired the Senate committee yester- day reported a resolution naming Sen ator Alsop as new trustee. Senator Latimer immediately moved tabling the resolution, until he could have a conference with other members, be- cause he understood that with three candidates from that county. New LonGcn county would lose it's repre- sentation on the board.
 Senator Iatimer made no specific reference, but it was thought he had in mind the fact that MT. Palmer was dropped. The Senator is the nephew of MT. Palmer.
 Senator Blakeslee objected to the motion to table out of courtesy to a fellow member. MT. Latimer replied that he thought that the matter could be strengthened cut if this resolution was tabled. It was suggested to him that one of the other resolutions which were to follow could just as well be tabled. While it was not stated the debate seemed to indicate that Sena- tor Alsops name was being substitut- ed for that of MT. Palmer. Senator Middleton. chairman of the committee on Senate Appointment. objected strongly to tabling, so MT Latimer withdrew the motion and Senator AL sop was chosen
 When the resolutions naming Char les M. Jarvis of Berlin as another new member and c. A Capen of Meriden as a re-appointment were named as other trustees, MT. Latimer immed- lately moved to cable and this was done i.

 State Policeman virelli has been to all of the hospitals and found that the

 had not gone to either of the institu- tions as directed by Kiely. The de scription tallied rather closely with that of the crazy man arrested in Stratford, and Officer VireIli made ar engagements to take Kiely to Stratford to see the crazy man this afternoon It appears that one of the clues in the hands of the state disclosed by the inquest was night gown found in an upstairs room of the Dibble house. The garment had blood upon it. It was learned from member of the family,
 today, that the aged woman was a sufferer from a malady which caused frequent hemorrhages which were the cause of the stains.
 The other witnesses called this morning were Miss Blanche Dibble, granddaughter of the murdered wo- man, Herbert Dibble, a grandson. Mrs. Frank Dibble, daughter-in-law, Frank Ddbble, a son, and Ernest Dib- ble, a son.
