COLE LOSES HIS CHARM
 IS DISCIPLINED
Had Advocated Primrose for President, Thus Incurring
 Displeasure Of Machine

Because of his activity in advocat- ing the cause of Alderman William E. Primsore for president of the common council, Alderman O. C. Cole of the 11thr district was disciplined last night and he loses the chairInanship of the committed on fire department Alder man Cole has been most active on this committee. In fact it was q commit tee little heard of until a year ago when he became it's chairman. Since then the committee has met at least twice a month and it is largely due to the efforts of Alderman Cole that property owners in congested districts have been prevented from erecting fire traps The plan to extend the fire limits was also an idea advanced by the alderman and he has presented from time. to time to the common council a huber of resolutions de- signed to make the city of Bridge port more safe and more sanitary
 Alderman Cole felt that Alderman Primrose as the oldest member of the council in point Of service, was enti- tied to be it's president. The ma jority Of the. Republican aldermen are from the East Side and Alderman Prina- rose represents an East Side district Therefore Alderman Cole urged that Alderman Primrose was entitIeds to head the council He was warned to.
 
 padgn for Aldermen Primrose, but he felt his cause was just and he com tinued to advocate Alderman Prinn+ roses candidacy. X
 As a result Alderman Cole will next year be chairman of the Memorial day committee, one of the unimpor- tant committees. while Alderman liar ny A. Lewis, a new member of the council, gets the fire department com 1nittee which Alderman Cole formerly had.
 The unexpected happened in several instances as regards the appoint ments of committee chairmen. The Inittee chairmanship. Alderman Mac Fayden besides being president of the council heads the cotnInittee on streets and sidewalks considered the most important in the board. Usually the president of the council is also chair I3an Of the committee on finance. Next year however Alderman De- Laney will head this committee. Be- sides Lewis of the new aldermen, Caldwell gets the committee on un- finished business, Roswell gets mis- eeIlaneous matters and Winterbdrn gets the rules committee. When asked why he had not made Alderman Mac F'ayden, president Of the council chairman of the finance committees, Mayor Wilson said last night that while this had been customary in the past. he thought AIderman dacFsay- den would have enough to do as it was and he wanted to divide the work and responsfb lity Of government more evenly among the Republican alder men.
