did not see now anybody could ac.
on a matter that had gotten beyond

New Britain herald., 1915-07-22

Sensational statements were made
at last nights meeting of the com
! mon council by Councilman @. f.
Curtis of the Third Ward. 1wh-n dur
/ ing lengthy debate on the resolution
sof Alderman M. T. Jester that the
advisory board, appointed by Mayor
Quigley several months ago, be dis.
charged, he claimed that the unit sys-
tenn Of keeping the business of the
board of public works has never been
obeyed by that commission and that
he can prove that there have been
gross violations of the charter of tire
City of New Britain. The statements
of the councilman were not ques-
stioned as they we're made several
moments before a vote was taken or
q motion to adjourn, but thes were
Of a nature to set the members OF
that dignified body to deep thought
over their real meaning
TIE appointment Of the advisory
board to meet with the important
commissions of the CITY governrr, emit
occupied the limelight short time;
ago over the methods employed by the
mayor at the time, and judging from
the attitude of some of the members
of the council they were not ii favor
of the proposition, while Others high
~ endorsed the idea.
After Alderman Jester hao pre-
scented his resolution. Councilman
Degnan, in defending the board an
speaking on its merits moved that in
stead of discharging it, an amend
menf be adopted making the board
one of ten members.

Gilman Curtis said that in many in
stances when departments had shows
deficiencies in their reports and also
reporting matters that afterward dill
not show up, it might have been "A
good idea to have such a committee
composed of business men, who could
have offered advice which would
probably have been instrumental in
avoiding errors.
Councilman .Paonessa said that it
was shame to have such commit
tee appointed and then have it thrown
out without giving it fair chance.
During the back and forth talk
that ensued a motion was introduced
to adjourn but 1t was disputed and II
required a. rising vote to determine
the outcome before it was enter
