and the only solution which I see is to
amend the charter to accomplish the
desired results, and in this connection
| may state that the city records dis
close that during the administration of
Mayor Rodgers, this very same problem
was perplexing one and a charter
amendment was submitted to the peo-
pie and was voted down. The reasons
why it was voted down, if I am cor
rectly informed, were not that the pro-
posal was not one of merit but that it
was involved with other issues which
were not expedient and did not have
the support of the public and that it
was defeated along with the rest of
them. I am inclined to believe that
public sentiment has changed and
would recommend that every one of the
icouncilmen make it point of consult
ing with his constituents upon the sub
ject and if the sentiment is found to
be in favor of such procedure as I have
indicted, to take steps to bring the mat
ter before the people either at a special
election or at the next regular election
which / believe would be better as it
would then not effect the present in
cumbent in office and raise any en-
barrassing questions of politics as to
desire upon the part of the admins.
tration and the public to punish or oust
anyone from office.
Two Matters of Concern.
There are two other matters of very
vital concern to the city which I feel 1
ought to touch upon. One is the ques-
tion of our street assessment procedure
and the other the matter of re-assess-
ments for curing defects in assessments
ments levied.
Both Of these matters have been be-
fore the voters and both have been de.
feated. The measure which was sub
mitted to the voters at the last election
covering street assessments was very
meritorius measure and had it been
understood by the public at large there
is no question in my mind but that it
would have carried by handsome ma
jority. 1t was not given the publicity
and explanation that it should have
had from its merit and it was defeated,
in my opinion, very largely by reason
of the public being suspicious of it
under the demand from the council at
time when the public mind was very
much exercised and concerned over the
outcome of the sewer bond problem. 1
feel that it should be re-submitted
either in its present form or along the
same lines if it can be improved upon.
The other matter is that of re.assess-
ments. A measure along these lines
was submitted at the regular election
December 2, 1912, which originated
with the council and was drafted and
submitted with the lesson of the South
Salem sewer case in mind and was de-
feated, / am informed and believe, very
largely by reason of the public agita-
tion over the sewer question and be-
cause the electorate was suspicious
that it was some subterfuge to defeat
the purpose of the sewer bond measure
which was then before the people Such
a provision should be in our charter
and if the charter commission now at
work does not provide for the same it
should be submitted to a vote of the
people at an early date.
Respectfully submitted

Boston that committees of the Massa-
chusetts Legislature contemplated post
poning action on the proposed bill to
enable the New York. New Haven &
Hartford Railroad 10 dispose Of its Bos-
ton & Maine holdings until January were
the subject of much comment to-day at
the Department Of Justice. Attorney Gen

matter, but the general opinion in official
circles was that II the Legislature ad-
iourned next month without passing the
BILL the department would promptly file
a suit to force dissolution Of the New
Haven from it's subsidiaries.
Disposition of the Boston & Maine stock
was the chief step in the dissolution
scheme agreed upon between the New
Haven and the department by which the
great New England railroad system was
to avoid prosecution under the antitrust
law.
The Attorney General agreed TO wait
until July IS for the transfer Of the Bos-

industry. When contracts now In force
have expired they will not be renewed.
More than one hundred and fifty men will
be out of work, many Of them high SAL

with the firm.
President Janeway said to-day the con-
Germ will take this action because Of the
expenses and hazards caused largely by
foolish legislation. He said.
zone feature of this legislation is that
while the men are allowed to have unions
and thereby advance wages and make

dens. the very moment the manufacturers
make the least move toward cooperation
and making a profit that would benefit
them and would not inJure the public at

so FAMILIES FLEE
AS BOMB EXPLODES
Police Hint at Plot TO Wreck
Place Because Manager
Had Ice Monopoly.

Fifty families were driven in fright
from the Lansing, an apartment house at
Wadsworth av. and nth St, last night
when n bomb exploded m the basement
near the court. The defamation was ter
rife and the basement was badly wrecked.
Police from the ST. Nicholas av. station
discovered that the superintendent Of the
building, Robert Morgan, had received a
threatening letter. 1t conveyed the de-
mand that he quit his present business or
take the consequences. This was dragged
from Morgan with difficulty by Lieuten-
ant Connolly and Detectives Lyman and
Foley
Morgan at first denied that he knew
10 the investigation. When the detec-
tives recalled that on June a torpedo
had been exploded in front Of the Ian
sing Morgan admitted that a letter re-
ceived recently referred to that torpedo
as a warning.
He paid no attention to 1t, however,
and the tenants in his house came near
being blown up because he runs an ice
monopoly. This is the theory of the po-
lice. They believe that some Italian ice
dealer in the nelghborhod. dlsgruntled by
his failure to get any business in the
Lansing because the superintendent
bought the ice by the large cake and re-
sold it in small lots, tried to brighten
him into submission TO the demand that
he confine his attention to managing the
apartment house.
Leo Irwin, who lives in the building,
and Robert o. Johnson, of Ill Broadway,
said they saw two Italians in the neigh
borhcod acting suspiciously just before
the explosion They were able to furnish
good description and the detectives
hope to make arrests.
