FAVOR CHARTER CHANGES.
Civic Bureau Directors Interested in
 Naturalization Plan.

Two matters of vital interest to the local public, were brought up for discussion at the meeting of the civic bureau directors held last evening. The first was in regard to the pro- posed changes in the charter by which applicants for naturalization papers can secure them without the formal ity of going to Hartford. Secretary Andrews consulted with the clerk of the United States court and learned that a city court having unlimited power in regard to law and equity can issue first and second papers, without interfering with legislation in any manner. It will require that a change be included in the charter to give the city court this unlimited power because at present it is one of limitation. MT. Andrews presented his report to the meeting and the plan was adopted.
 The directors of the bureau dis cussed the proposed dam for the skating pond in the northern part of the city. A committee consisting of E. w. Pelton, Carl Neumann and L. P. Slade was named to confer with the park commissioners today in re- gard to the project.
