WHY LAKE STREET PREFERRED TO CITY DUMP
Alderman Bailey Gives Reasons Why Former Location for City Barn is EaNored.

The city barn has long been a live topic for discussion, and when asked on Tuesday for further information in regard to the proposition, which was presented at the council meeting Monday evening. to abandon the pres ent property for that use and erect suitable building on the Lake street playground, Alderman Bailey, chair man of the public works committee, stated that it had long been recog- ni2ed that the present location is the wrong one for a city barn. It has been the ambition of the public works committee to get adequate storage room, sheds where the watering, ash and oil wagons can be placed under cover instead of leaving them out all winter near the stone crusher as was done last year and to get a stock room. The present barn does not af- ford these facilities. A valuable piece of property is being occupied for uses for which it is not suited and the de- sire Is to get a cheaper and more suit able location. As to the use that would be made of the city barn, it was stated by MT. Bailey that nego- tfations had been carried on with the gas and electrical commissioners to have them occupy that property.
 In looking over the available sites for the city barn. MT. Bailey said that the Lake street property, which the city owns, seemed the best place. If ultimately selected wire fence would be erected around the property with a gate So that whatever material was left there would be secure, a barn would be erected in the center and sheds built for the housing of the de- partment's wagons and carts.
 Inasmuch as the work of widening Thames street is to be started soon, it was his opinion that there would be much material salvaged from the al- terations to the dwellings along there, which could be used in the construc- tion Of the sheds which would be built first.
 Preference had been given to the Lake street property over the city dump, so called. the land which has been made on the north end of Cen tral wharf. and which is also owned by the city. because it was considered that the former was on higher ground and would therefore be drier. It would be nearer the crusher. It is out side the fire limits and therefore wooden rather than brick structures could be erected. It is nearer to the center of the city. It is nearer to happened there at night someone would know about it. The burning of the debris on the dump at all times Is a detriment to that location It is 8 cold and bleak place during the winter time and if the spur track is built up through that property, as de- sired, the land will be wanted for manufacturing purposes.
 It is because of the fact that the Lake street property Is used for a public playground that a hearing is to be held on the proposition, but in- asmuch as it was thus occupied but about eight weeks in the year, MT. Bailey thought that some other Ioca- tion, possibly Mohegan park could be utilized for that purpose. As far as he knew the only opposition to the plan came from the packers of the playground movement.

SPOKE AT INTERNATIONAL
 SILVER COMPANIES PLANT
Rev. Joel B. Siocum Addressed Tues-
 day Noon Shop Meeting.

Rev. Joel B. Slocum. D. D., pastor of the Central Baptist church, ad- dressed the Y. M. c. A. shop meeting held at the International Silver Co.'S plant on Tuesday noon. Rev. Dr. Slo- ium spoke on Power. He told the men about the largest 1ocosaotive in the country which is on the Erie road and of its wonderful power and how 1t is able to haul freight cars. the total weight of which is ntne million pounds. But, said he, one man may have more power than this huge locomotive. That is spiritual power which man may have is of a great deal more Of im- portance that the power of such an enormous machine. I fails that the average man fails to realize the capa- bilities of his life when turned over to the mighty power of God. hope every man will reach up his arms of faith to the Almighty. That he may lay hold of the power that God waits to give him.
 As usual Hugh Kinder's solos added much to the service.
