Alderman Will Inquire
Into Service Bill of
Dog Warden Geo. Hall

At the meeting of the finance com
mittee of the common council last
night, Alderman Harry M. Clark of
the Eighth district, was appointed a
committee to investigate the bill of
Dog Warden George Hall of $96 for
killing 80 dogs during the last two
weeks. Dog Warden Hall has been
receiving about $50 per week for kill
ing dogs. Recently, in the common
council, Alderman Daniel P. Harri-
gan of the Eighth district, asked for
some Information concerning the dog
warden's bill of $186. The informa-
ton was refused by Mayor Wilson
and members of the finance commit
tee and the report of the committee
adopted despite the a1dermah's pro-
test.
Former Mayor Denis MuIvihiII some
years ago sponsored a resolution pass
ed requiring that all members of the
council receive the reports of the fl
nance committee three days before it
is to come up for adoption. This
rule is not kept now and Alderman
Harrigan served notice on the board
that unless it is observed he will get
of all bills until the rule is compiled
with.
The reports of the finance commit
tee show that during May the dog
warden received 1904 for killing stray
on homeler~ dogs; N June $216; in
ARugust $456; September 1925; Octo-
Der 1921; November $204; Decembe
$183, and January $1S6.

ANNIVERSARIES
OF RING BATTLES

1SS4-Louis (Kid) Sea1er, light
weight boxer, born in Worcester,
Mass. For several years the Massa-
chusetts boxer was prominent per-
former on the Pacific coast and in
the northwest and western Canada.
He started his ring career in 1908,
and while still a novice defeated a
number of good men, including Eddie
Santry. After a number of battles in
Spokane, Butte, and other northwest
ern cities, he invaded New York ten
years ago, but he didn't like the east
ern game and returned to the West.
He knocked out Kid Og1esby in the
32nd round at Helena, Mont, and
then fought a draw with Billy Lauder
in Calgary Sca1er continued to fight
frequently in California and western
Canada for several years, but in 1911
returned to Massa chusetts and retired.
The West and the ring both called
him, however, and in 1913 he pulled
a comeback and fought a good Is
round bout with Freddie Welsh in
Edmonton, Alta.

TACUE SUGGESTS
PROBE OF MEMS
SICK BENEFITS
Says Firemen Receive More
When They're Ill Than
When Healthy.

At the meeting of the fire board last
night Clerk John Hines was instructed
to procure from the secretary of the
State FTrenen's Relief association the
names Of all firemen who belong to
the association and the amount eacn
one has drawn during his member
ship.
Commissioner John H. Tague, who
presided at the meeting last might i'll
the absence Of President John A.
Leonard, said that frernen who re-
ported as injured or i'll in the dis
charge of their duties mot only re-
cetved back pay. but they also re-
ceived $12 per week benefits. from the
relief association If they hold mem
bership in some fraternal or sick ben
eft society they receive more pay
when i'll than when in health and on
duty.
The state appropriates about $4,000
per year for this relief fund and each
fire company pays Sc per~year. From
the volunteer companies of the state
this money is taken from the com
pany treasury. In cities. where there
are paid departments the men are as
sessed pro rata to make up the
amount. During the last six months
it is said. Bridgeport hrepnen have
drawn 1895 from the state fund.
Arthur Cham bers, a. driver at No. 9
house, who is suffering from 8, general
breakdown, was granted am indefinite
leave of absence. and also half pay
from F,eb.N when he went 'of duty.
Charles Gregory, driver for No. 10 En-
CINE company, was. given two weeks
back pay for time lost due to illness.
John NToIlota, driver at No. engine
house; was given half pay for 16 days,
when he was away from duty due to
illness.
The bids for 100 new hydrants were
opened, but because of the absence of
President Leonard no action was TAX
en-. The bids were IS follows:
Crane Co., two grades, $25.75 anG
$28.75; RENSSELAER, Valve Co., $28.75
and $3.50; R. D. Wood & Co., $28;
Ludlow Valve Co., $3.50; Eddy Valve
Co, $29. so; Cady Co., $31.
Commissioners Tague was chosen to
confer with Chief Johnson of the de-
partment and to make<some arrange
ment to prevent a second alarm being
turned in for the same fire. Recently
at a number of fires after an alarm
has been sent from one box some ex-
cited citizen has turned in a, second
alarm from some other box in the vi
entity, bringing out other apparatus
and also disquieting the frenen at
work at the blaze or on the way there.
Commissioner Tague will report at the
next meeting Of the commissioners.

German Aviator Is
Admirer of Teuton
Flying Squadrons

Paris, Feb. IA German avia-
ton pilot who was obliged to land in
French village near the front is
quoted by the Temps correspondent as
declaring that the Germans are now
doing less flying along the front be-
cause they feel there is little need of
it, eve have all your positions pho
tographed,' said he.
1.-The recruiting of pilots with u.s.,
he continued, ''fs very easy. Only
men under % years are admitted in
the aviation service, and those who
at the end of several weeks do not
show sufficient aptitude are sent back
to their corps. The others are in
structed in the aviation schools and
later become specialists in the work
of accommodating or in regulating the
fire of the big guns. Those who are
on the fighting aeroplanes are nearly
always volunteers. There is, near
Hamburg, a special school where the
latter perfect themselves before leav-
ing for the front.
\ eve have excellent machines My
engineer who remained for six
months in the same squadron has not
seen one machine changed because of
wear and has not noticed one case of
breakdown because of defective mo-
tor.
1.-THE up-to-date fighting machine
now is the Fokker, which can make
a speed of 160 kilometres an hour. 1t
is armed with a quick f1rer, but its
ammunition-carryi capacity is linn
tied.
each squadron comprises six ma
chimes besides two reserves. Out of
these six machines two regulate the
cannon fire, two are for reconnoiter-
ing and two for aerial combats. We
attach the greatest importance to
Photographic accommodating Eight
specialists are provided to make the
most delicate developments and en-
largements. These specialists are
attached to each of our squadrons. On
our accommodating machines we have
Photographic apparatus which can be
utilized at 1000 metres altitude and
others which may be employed for
photographing from $500 metres.

9eputy Dog Warden c. B. johnson
found house dog running around
the borough streets, unmuzzled, Satur-
day. He captured the animal and
took it to the town clerks office,
where after Assistant Town Clerk z. S.
Pitzschler produced the records a Ia
Bertillon. the dogs ownership was
fixed. Deputy johnson called up the
owner on the phone. at his place of
business, who<did not respond. His
brother, accompanied by some of the
office force, came 10 the town clerks
office and procured the liberation of
the canine prisoner upon the promise
of paying the ransom of 81. This was
several days ago. but the owner re-
fused and still refuses to pay the fee
which the se1ectmen instructed the
case of violation of the muzzling or
dinance. The dog is now under re-
straint on the owners premises, and
the only satisfaction the deputy gets
when he accosts the owner for the fee
is an Invitation to come on and kill
the dog. johnson told him to bring
the dog to the highway and turn him
! loose, and the deed would be done
quickly and mercifully, but as to seek
ing for the brute on the owners prem
ises, that was another story.
In the meantime there is much
speculation as to- just how the dollar
will be collected. The dog is not to-
tally oblivious to the situation, but is
chaf1ng under the restraint of the
leash in its owners backyard.
