 EXPLAINS COMMITTEE
Will Be Glad to Find a Place for Any First Dis trict Citizen Who Wants to Wrestle with Lines.

Referring to statement made, al-
 legged to be a kick registered by prop
 erty owners in the first district, that
 committee to adjust the district lines, Senator-Alderman Garry Paddock who introduced the measure into the meeting of the council, Monday even ing, made a statement this afternoon.
 T suggested" said Senator Paddock, "Mr. Heating, because ne is the city auditor. and is best. qualified to pass on such matters; Col. Knowlton, as president of the Board of Assessors possessing many years of experience in assessing land values; the city en- gineer because he, of necessity must Mir. Phelan, because he is the presi- dent of the Apportionment Board, which board should be represented; and the city clerk from whose office issue all sources of information. They all happen to- be residents 2f ator Paddock stated that he knew of at least two members of that com nittee who would gladly resign to make way for any resident of the first district who would care to work with the committee. eff there is any ToSlOeHC Ol tue UTSC Q1SIrlCI WnO would become a member I would gladly use what little influence I have to have him appointed said the senator.
 My object in bringing in this reso- lution," said the senator, twas to bring the matter before the commit tee on cities and boroughs at Hart ford. Alderman MacFayden some time ago introduced a resolution in- to the council to have all the first district included in the second. That was killed by the board The alder men, however believe that part of the first district should be included in the second, as the land owners are enjoying as good, if not better, privi- Ieges as the second district tax pay CTS. Especially do I refer to that To- cality in the upper Twelfth district, Mill Hill to the homes in the vicinity of St. Vincent's hospital; to the Black Rock district, and to part of the Brooklawn district"
 In reference to the alleged state ment that map had already been prepared to be submitted as the proper one for defining the two dis tricts, Senator Paddock stated that such a statement was absolutely false.
