state Senator N. p. Dodge Is sore at
the city commissioners" according 20
City Commissioner c. II. Withheld of the
fire department, because the council re-
fused to harken to the anxious plea of
the senator in a certain matter.
Mr.. withheld said;
Dodge knows no money is being wasted
IN this department Here is a list in de-
tail OF every cent that has been spent
Dodge nor anybody else would have spent
less.
"As for the double shift which has in
creased the payroll to 226,2O7. 80 a year.
Dodge, II my memory serves me we'll,
was very instrumental in securing it and
was one of it's loudest advocates.
It's not the holy cry of economy that
is really actuating Mr. Dodge-he's sore
at the city council because we wouldn't
stick a fire barn down In a hollow be-
hind his property. where we couldn't
have got out II there had been a fire.
He insisted that the Central fire barn
at Nineteenth and Harvey streets be not
placed besides his property. The council
decided to place It there, and Dodge. who
was holding this property at $4,000. was
financially damaged.
That deal has been sticking in Mr..
Dodge's craw ever since.
II believe in economy and have kept
the expenses Of this department to min
imum. but there is kind OF economy
that does more harm than good"
Commissioner Withheld has finished
preparation of list of needs for the fire
department for 1915 which he will submit
to the council for consideration when the
apportionment is made in January. He
will ask for $27S, 26e.6S.

"CurbstOne LOafers"
 Control Meetings

w. C. Norris, of Willimantic. 9 booster" for the State Business Mems association, interspersed a number of witty stories in his remarks. He spoke for some time, however. serious ly. saying among other things:
 We wish to speak with you a few minutes upon the work of the Bus- mess Mems associations, both local and state; the need of the associa- ton, it's work. and how to make it effective. Associations have been needed since the days of Adams S loneliness Each has it's special work This is a day of association and combination. Combinations of men and capital are absolutely nec- essary today to carry on the great business of our country. No doubt some great corporations needed to be placed upon the operation-tab ble and the knife used but it is not good business policy to keep them there until all vitality and power of recu- peration has been exhausted. We cannot do without these combinations of brains and money. Had it not been for these, l would have been obliged to walk here today to find nothing but bowling wilderness.
 Better Public Sentiment.
 Your association is combination of men with brains to further the business interests of this community and commonwealth. You have d special work that no other associa- tion can perform. The interests of Plainville require the united efforts of her business men for the making of a better public sentiment, better homes, better citizenship, better laws, better enforcement of the present law and an uplifting of community in- terests in general. If you have not already done this, your work is in- complete. Do you need better schools, streets sidewalks, churches, Sunday observances, taxation, labor conditions, business protection? Is the press in full sympathy with your work? It is a power that should help mold the future of your com munity and is worth your attention. Make known your policies and ask for the support of the press in form ing public opinion. We must be progressive or be relegated to the Island of Has-been'
 Your support of the state asso citation work has been greatly ap- preciated. The strength of the State association depends upon the individ- ual effort of each local association.
