ed fro mJere c. Hutchins, president

Aid Dingeman, Schultz, Scheman-
sky and Skryzck opposed the passage
of the resolution.
Aid. Dingeman opposed the resolu-
the extensions which the agreement
provides for in his ward. He wanted
the Kercheval line extended TO the
city limits, instead OF stopping at st
Jean-rd., where it will not benefit the

Schemansky wanted provision In
the agreement for universal transfers

for political reasons.
An insurgent movement that threat

interrupt the mayors plans developed
shortly after the council session open

the council give the compromise It's
unanimous backing. but il soon be-
came evident that this was out OF the
question
The mayor was so unnerved by the
exciting events leading up TO the
Council meeting and the unexpected
action OF some OF the aldermen that
he sat In a far corner or the chamber
in a state OF collapse. He was unable
to take an active part in the discus

advisers, taking the floor in defense
OF the compromise.
Aid. Otto Reinhardt, chairman or
the council committee on franchises,
moved the adoption OF the resolution
TO rescind the rental resolution passed
by the council in 1909. Aid Dingeman
moved as substitute that the entire
proposition be referred TO the com

(Boston Herald,)


Northampton was presented with a
theater; and there an excellent stock
company had been gathered to play
the repertory drama of the better
class The city itself gave no guar
antee against financial loss At Pitts
field private individuals Joined to-
gether to furnish a respectable theat-
er and to found a stock company. In
both cities there was at first a COM
mendable recognition OF the new en-
terprise and people even came in from
the neighboring towns. But the pros
pect of pecunlary success was soon
blighted by the rivalry of cheaper
shows.
1t is evident that to pay good actors
living wages, to create new scenery,
and to provide new plays, a small
theater must be filled at every per-
formance; otherwise there Is money
loss. and no manager and no small
band Of citizens, however. self-sac-
rificing, is going to face long Sc

from a sentimental or an educational
standpoint to have Shakespearean
dramas and the good comedies per-
