Sloan said he would give an opinion
at the next meeting
From the chair, Vice Chairman Mac
Bean asked the commission to con-
slider the matter OF the paving of North
Fourth street There was an inclina-
ton, either real or seeming, to pass

political move. MacBean said it was
not a political move to give the people
what they were urging. There were a
number of Fourth street property own
ers in the audience and these had come
for the purpose of insisting that ac-
ton be taken. If that was politics it
was good politics and the kind the
people wanted.

paving be adopted. The motion car
ried.

authorizing and directing the city su-
perintendent of streets TO proceed with

WAR INFORMATION RALLIES WILL BE
 GIVEN IN TOWNS

Hartford, Nov. 15-A series of patriotic rallies to carry war infor- nation to every hamlet of the state is being arranged by the Connecticut State Council of Defense through it's committee on publicity. There will be two campaigns in the series, the first consisting of rallies to be held in every village of Connecticut large enough to have available halls. This will be followed by an intensive cam paign in the cities and other indus trial centars.
 It will carry the message of the war to every little ward hall where people are in the habit of assembling and where possible to the gates of important. factories and inside the shops if suitable arrangements can be made. The rallies will begin next week and will probably continue un- til Christmas. It is hoped to cou- plete the small town series before winter weather closes the roads .to automobile traffic.
 Associated with the committee on publicity in making Arrangements for the rally is a special committee of the council consisting of Richard M. Bissell, its chairman; Major Howard A.. Giddings and former Senator Jo- seph w. Alsop. The campaign will be under the active management of Harrison B. Freeman of Hartford, who has volunteered his services for the work.
 He has already established head quarters at the state capitol in the offices of the committee on publicity. George B. Chandler, chairman of this committee, will direct the field work of the rally organization. MT. Free man will be assisted by Austin Dun ham, who has for several weeks had charge of the speakers bureau of the committee, and by James S.. Stevens, its state musical director.
 A unique feature of the rally series is 8 careful outline of plans made by the publicity committee for the conduct of every phase of the meet ings and a Liberty Chorus will sing at each meeting. School will distri- bute advertising posters.
