CHARITIES BOARD CANNOT CONTROL
 CHECKS ISSUED
Becanse Saloon Keepers Deposit Them is net Proof That Money is Spent
 For LiQuOr.

At the meeting of the board of Char ities last night, President Stone occu- pied the chair for the first time and he made a good presiding officer
 Judge Kane returned to the subject of auditing bills again last night and said that he objected to giving his O. K. to bills which he had not had any opportunity to examine. It was i'm possible at a meeting to do this work properly and he suggested that the
 bills be held for a week. It was ex- plained that this would be difficult on account of the meeting of the finance committee of the Common Council which followed soon after the meeting of the board of charities. The matter was discussed and left over for future consideration. It is possible that the board will return to it's old practice of holding two meetings a month for this purpose
 Judge Kane also brought up the If the Charities department by saloon keepers. He read of the matter in the newspapers and asked for information. It was stated that the checks men toned were in the hands of the saloon keeper because he was the landlord of he party to whom the check was made out. Checks were made out to the .enefciaries of the department because when they, were made to the landlords an> impression was prevalent that the board had agreed to pay the whole rent of the parties the board
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1909-02-05


 The board limits it's benefac ctions for rent to $6 per month. The checks are made out to the beneficiaries so that they can add to the amount from oth- CT sources when it is not sufficient to continually moving it would require much additional clerical work to keen track of the landlords and make the checks payable to them, although the members of the board were agreed that this was the proper method The members did not believe that checks given to applicants for assistance were spent in the saloons even if they were cashed there at times Judge Kane said he did not see how the board could control the checks after they left the hand Of the clerk and the matter was allowed to pass without further action. The only objection to the present method was that 1t looked bad to have checks of the department in the hands of liquor dealers as it gave the impression that the c1ty's money was being spent for liquor.
 Commissioner Stone said he had con- ferrred with President Hill of the po- lice board about finishing the rooms in the drill hall for the driver of the ambulance but could see no way to ob- tain the money unless the charities'g department provided it. The custo- dians of the building had asked the board of apportionment for $3,000 to make needed repairs and alterations this wear. Until this was appropriat cd no work could be dcne The mat fer was left in the hands of President Stone to get estimates.

WILDCAT NEAR GREENWICH
Animal Follows Butchers Wagon and
 PutS NeighbGrho0d in Terror.

Greenwich, Feb. 5.-The district about RoundhilI and Stanwich, where reside B. c. Converse, Charles A. Moore, Ben jamin Fafrchild, Phelps Stokes and many other prominent New Workers, is being terroriZed by a wildcat.
 Herbert Mead, a butcher. was one. of those who reported the presence of the animal. Last night while driving from Long Ridge with load of fresh meat his wagon was followed by the cat, which came very close and kept ut tering it's cry, which sounds like that of child in distress.
 Mead was unarmed and as the creat- ure seemed so hungry and bold he kept his horses at their best pace the en- tire distance. When he neared his house the cat slunk away but return ed to his slaughter house later, keeping up it's hOWls.
