Last Night

year as the result of action taken by the
board of aldermen at the regular meeting
last night, when the fire committee re-
ported favorably on the suggestion that
heavy noises be prohibited For the
duration Of the war" a phrase much
used in connection with enlistments and
talk OF military service just now, was
written into the report, which means
THAT another and yet another Fourth may
come and go ere young America can cele-
| brate in the good old fashioned way.
Fireworks, frecrackers, torpedo-s and
blank cartridges come under the official
ban, toy pistols and the little paper caps
constituting the only explosive that may
be used without mourning the wrath of
the city fathers. The report containing
the foregoing recommendations was ac-
eepted on the motion OF Alderman Rossi
and seconded by Alderman Reynolds.
Unanimity of purpose in evideneing
their support of the evening drawing
school was emphasized by the aldermen
and mayor in adiourning shortly before
8 o'clock to accompany the school com
missioners and members of the granite
manufacturers merchants and quarry
owners associations and the Board of
Trade to the exhibit at the Mathewson
school. The aldermen waded through a
considerable volume of business before
they joined a group of conferees in the
room across the corridor from the coun-
ell chamber and proceeded to the drawing
school exhibit There a profitable half
hour was spent in inspecting the work of
the students.
A curious admixture of clerical errors
was the notice received from the county
sheriff and read by the clerk. The docu-
ment purported to be an official notice
to the overseer of the poor that one
Howard Simonds had been committed to
jail for non-payment of taxes, on tax
warrant "sworn out by the city clerk,
James Mackay" The clerk was desig-
mated as a poor person, but the error
was obvious and most of the talk after
the notice had been read had to do with
the alleged practice of permitting prison
ers thus detained to roam the streets at
large. II was also noted that, contrary
to the wording of the notice, the treas
urer and not the clerk is authorized to
issue the tax warrants. There was some
talk of turning over the notice to the
charity department, but Alderman Healy
moved that Mayor Glysson be instructed
to confer with Sheriff F. H. Tracy The
motion carried, after being duly seconded
by Alderman Milne.
The aldermen and others in the city
government. including the mayor are go
ing to do their level best to assist the
Italian flag raising committee in any way
possible Saturday, an invitation to parti-
cipate having been accepted as soon as it
had been read by the clerk. Paul Bianchi
stated that the aldermen and mayor
would be asked to join in the parade and
ater review the marchers and to receive
he governor and other guests. Mayor
ilysson arranged with the aldermen to
meet in the council chamber Friday even
ng TO complete plans for the morrow.
The committee was given permission to
ling out a flag over North Main street,
near the Tilden property.
Through the medium of communea-
ion from team owners the aldermen
