TAX BOARD HEARS
DEPARTMENT PLEAS
Many Branches OF City Govern.
ment Tell Why Their Esti-
mates Should Be
Granted

The board of superintendent began
its public earrings on departm entail
estimates last evening in the Comm on
Council chamber of City Hall. The
personal tax collectors; the public lib
rary board; Memorial day committee:
the harbormaster; the claims commit
tee; the probate court; the building
commissioners; the board of apprais-
al; the board of contract and supply;
the general registrars; the selectmen:
and the town clerk were Represented
at the meeting and presented reasons
why their estimates should be granted.
John Kemple was spokesman for
the personal tax collectors. He said
the collectors hoped to collect $36, 200
a year. He explained deficiency ap-
preparation of $2,017.29 by saying that
the apportionment board had failed,
last year, to provide any money OUT
side of salaries for the maintenance
of the board. Altogether the col1ec-
tors ask an appropriation of $7,601.79.
Mr.. Kemple told the mayor that the
collectors were on the job daily unless
they took an afternoon off in the SUM
mer time ito attend a ball game
Judge A B. Beers, for the library
board asked the usual quarter mill
tax, an amount needed this year. r.
M. Wilder, of Elias Howe Jr., post,
G. A. R.. said the post really needed
81 ,150 instead of $1,000 as asked, for
the proper conduct of Memorial Day
services.
Harbormaster Garry Paddock said
y
and Alderman LAWN, of the harbor
committee, wanted appropriations of
$1,000 for repairs to the city dock and
$1,000 for the installation of a hoist
ing apparatus there. The latter would
be a revenue producer, the alderman
said.
Judge E. f. Hal1en, for the probate
court, and Alderman Stephen Meaney,
for the claims committee, explained in
creases in their estimates and Will
liam S. Bowling, for the building com
nissioners, asked contingent fund
for emergencies of that office in addi-
tbon to the usual appropriation.
A E. Macdonald appeared for the
board of contract and supply, and said
that the board eventually will show a
big saving on supplies bought for the
city. J. H. Rooney, for the general
registrars, explained this years deficit
| by the fact that no appropriation had
been made for printing and other ex-
penses incident to the special election
| last Fall.
The board of seIectmen, through
| Lawrence Weller, told the board that
| the city should pay for the meals OF
the selectmen when they were in SEES
sion making voters. He said they had
/ lived within this years appropriation
only by going into their own pockets
Assistant Town Clerk w. T. Mullins
explained the needs of the town
clerks office. He said the office
wanted land indexer appointed from
| the town clerks force at $500 a year
| instead of being named by the Com
| mon Council at $1,000 a year.

commonsense treatment for Blotchy skin.

Why is your skin covered with red
bIotches? The answer is as plain as
plain can be- You own a sweet tooth.
You neglect the night toilet of the
face and body, and you show little
wisdom in the CHOICE of your cosrnet-
les.
erly' wash and rinse and dry her face
ait nigfft, treat her stomach with con-
sideration and use only the best
creams and lotions, I think many a
complexion tragedy could be averted.
This is good hearing, is it not?
Don't say you keep your skin abso-
Ius9ly o clean n M Mia o as only one
mean that the average woman fails ito
wash her face, butt I do think that
brushing the face over with a damp
cloth, giving perfunctory Scrub with
a dry towel and pinching the cheeks
until they flame with scarlet, does
not suffice TO get the dirt out of the
pores.
Keep your face immediately clean
by the Plentiful use Of hot. water, good
soap and friction. Always scoJ1r your.
Crime, and I won't say no if you give
1T another such rub a dub-dub some
time during the day
1t is just as imperative to battle the
body daily as 1t Is the face. Remem-
Der that the human body has between
two and three hundred thousand pores
and that each one of these pores keeps
busy exudfng poisonous matter. Now If
they should become clogged with CRIME
or dried cutic1e, they would be unable
to properly perform their duty. You
know and I know that this would
mean piInples galore.
Make habit of the daily bath and
be rewarded by a clean. skin.
In the beginning of this article told
the lovers of a bleniShleSS skin to
treat their stonnacfs with considera-
ton. I hope they will lay this advice
to heart, as the foolish maiden who
regularly INDUCES in candy, cake, lob
Ster, crab and other food frivolitieS,
can be quite sure that blotchy skin

FARMER REACHES THE PEOPLE

The fact that The Farmer reached

when A. Clinton called promptly at &

James Mahon brought the children
here from Utica seven months ago.
He had quarrelled with his wife in
Utica and they had separated. Mrs.
Morgan. boarding house keeper, was
prevailed upon to take the children
into her home. Their father, having
obtained position in Bridgeport
came to Stamford to spend his week
end with them. He appeared to be
very devoted to the children.
A week ago, the chiIdrens mother
called at Mrs. Morgan's home and
took a room. She spent a lot of time
with the children who seemed to be
fond Of her.
The father of the children came to
Stamford last Saturday, and after a
somewhat stormy interview with his
wife. they appeared to have reached
some sort of an understanding Any
way it is claimed at the Morgan house
that the Morgans were led by Mrs.
Mahon to believe that she and her

go back to Utica some time this week
and take a. house.
Last Tuesday Mrs. Mahon express
ed desire to have the children photo

Believing that whatever trouble there
was had been settled, Mrs. Morgan
offered no objection, and the children
were dressed up and their mother
took them away. They went to q

graphs were taken. What happened
after that has not been learned. AZ

were not returned, and their mother
did not come back to the Morgan
house. Nor have the police been able
to find out where she did go. If the
