 The Olive Tablet Company. Columb bus. Q. a police sergeant was appointed. No every officer should have had a chance at that job and they would have had | if civil service were in use. Representative Schultz said he would be much pleased if the mayor 1 were made an ex-officio member of the 1 boards
 Flaws in Civil service. Senator klett said a deadlock would be possi ble even under civil service rules. It is customary to select an officer from the three having the best exam Enation marks and the board could be deadocked on the selection of a man.
 Mir. Humphrey said the efficiency of board depends on the caliber of the individuals on the commissions.
 Representative Schultz remarked that civil service would not aid in the selection of a fire autom obile.
 What I want to see is politics di vorced from the police and fire de- partments,' said Mayor Quigley.
 MT. Kehoe remarked that it might be wise to give the public safety board copy of Cushing's manual on par liamentary law.
 The mayor had the power to break deadlocks six years ago and it broke his heart so he went to the legisla ture and had the power stricken out said Mir. Kehoe.
 Quiglcy Has Objection.
 Mayor Quigley objected to the mayor being made an ex-of1icio member of boards as 1t would give the ruling mayors party a majority on all boards.
 Senator Klett told of three candi- dates for a position in the Connecti- cut Agricultural School. All passed the civil service exams with high marks.
 "One was rejected because he was college undergraduate the second because he had only one arm and the third because he had some other defect" said the senator.
 Probably the third didn't know anything about chickens remarked MT. Kehoe.
 Do you know anything about civil service as applied to the post office?" asked Judge Gaffney. II don't suppose so," replied the senator.
 Mir. Johnson was in favor of al lowing the chief of the fire and police departments to appoint men, but he was hoNled down.
 Apply the civil service and have a board of three and your problem is
 Mayor to Break Tic.
 It was finally voted to give the mayor the authority to break a dead lock on the public safety board after such tie exists for one month. This will be referred to the corporation counsel for drafting.
 Board of Assessors Again.
 Representative Schultz brought the board of assessors matter off the shelf again and spoke in favor of board of three rather than two which had already been decided on. Many, besides himself, favored three, he said.
 No action was taken on Represen- tative Schultzs plan.
 It was voted to recommend the is- sue of S100,O0O in water bonds in con- formance with the request of the water commssi earlier in the evening. The corporation counsel was authorized to draft healing act to mend the mixup in the desig- nation of the water bond series.
 When 10 o'clock rang the members began to brush off the cigar ashes preparatory to going home.
 Father Time Knocked Out.
 'The chair rules that it is 9 o'clock" said Mayor Quigley, banging his fist on the mahogany and the meeting was continued.
 It was voted to recommend the issue of s250,O0O in sewer bonds.
 Before adjournment Representative Schultz spoke on the home rule" bill. He said he had spoken in the legislative committee of the State Chamber of Commerce regarding sew age disposal. He had told his fellow mem bers that New Britain had spent big sums in sewage disposal eXperi- ments and he recommended that the state make experiments. On account OUCH! BACKACHE!
