that the lllSpeClOI pC given S1,600 and furnish his own Councilman Dolan said the board of health should be upheld.
 Do I understand that the board

 Alderman Parker's last amendment was defeated.
 Alderman Chamberlain offered an amendment, that the inspector receive S1,500 and furnish his own transpor- tation.
 All amendments were lost and the report of the committee on salaries
 was adopted. During the debate Coun-
 cilman Landers said: If you catch the councilman from the third (Cur- tD favoring a salary increase it must

 Slaughter House Report Incomplete.
 Because the recommendations of
 the health commission for the es-
 tablishment of municipal slaughter
 house was not complete, 1t was re-
 ferred back until the next meeting,
 which may be called in a week or two. The recommendation was that the health commission secure plans for slaughter house not to exceed in cost s5,000 and that 1t secure a site at the town home and an over seer at a salary of not more than
 s1,200. Chairman Tallard said twen- ty head of cattle are slaughtered every day for consumption in this city. This does not include swine, sheep, etc. Ho said he had been in formed by the food inspector that fifty per cent. of these would be re- jectcd If offered for inspection. Health 1 Superintendent T. F. Reeks express l cd similar views and said the board l had detected an attempt to slaughter 1 cholera infected hogs that were to | be sold here.
 Alderman McCabe interposed by ! making a plea for sanitary drinking | cups Councilman Curtis objected to l the acceptance of the report on the 1 ground that 1t was incomplete He l said there was no estimate of the re- l ceipts to be derived from fees and he | recommended that it be referred 1 back to the health board This was l done.
 $8,OO0 Map Proposed.
 The following report was received | from the city plan commission:
 At a meeting of the city plan com 1 mission held January IS. 1916, it was voted to recommend to the common | ,ouncil that a sufficient appropriati tion | le authorized for an accurate survey ,f the city of New Britain, this survey 1 O be made by the city engineering de- 2artment and maps to be drawn to he desired scale for the use of the city plan commission and also. the 1 board of assessors.
 The duties of the city plan commits sion as given by a charter amend nont include not only inquiring into Ill conditions relating to traffic, street, and freight facilities trolley lines, parks, housing plans and Cther kindred matters, but also as to the directions and character of the city's probable development and growth and to prepare and recom- mend to the common council a city l plan or plans covering the above subjects in preparation for the future of said city to the end that its de- both in it's public and l private works shall be laid out and | executed with intelligent foresight and l to the best advantage of it's present | and future inhabitants.
 The members of the commission | feel that they cannot act intelligently l in the work laid out for them if they do not have an accurate map of the city which would show all streets n, operty and buildings thereon. A set of maps could be drawn from the sur vey which would be of great use to the board of assessors. These maps would show all individual properties in the city and could be used for the purpose of taxation and on these maps complete record of all trans fers and all changes could be kept up to date.
 The amount of work laid out for the city engineering department keeps the present force busy the entire year SO it would be necessary to put on an other party of three or four to devote their entire time to this work until completed. The approximate cost to he city to make the necessary survey and map would be $6,000.
 Spend S6000 for a, map?" in
