know whether the committee intends to store the potatos and stand possible loss but as yet the committee hasn't stated any definite policy. It has been a matter of pure guesswork from the very start and we've had tc work to get any information at all"
 To this statement the mayor re- marked that as yet the committee has not been asked for any report but has promised to give report as soon as the potatoes are harvested, preferring to wait until then so that any figures can be backed up with facts-or to be more exact-with potatoes.
 Mayor Predicts $3.5O Potatoes.
 Councilman Gorbach spoke briefly as champion of the municipal farm committee ana advised relying on their Judgment The mayor called Alder man A. M. Paonessa to the chair and took the floor to crate concerning po- tatoes By this time the air was, figur- atively speaking, full of potatoes. In part the mayor said: You seem to lose sight of the object of buying and raising potatoes. The few thousand bushels the committee has been able to get will not supply the city. If we take all these potatoes and distribute them now it will not give a peck to each of the 10000 families here, may be a bushel. It would have no bearing on the price. The object is to have this supply in reserve so when the speculators try to force the price over s2 a bushel the committee can unload and if necessary come back to the council for permission to buy more. This supply is to be used to try and maintain a balance and to keep the price around $2. It Is estimated that between twenty and thirty thousand bushels are already in the cellars and with the 10000 the committee has the city will need twenty or thirty thou sand more and believe that these should be held in the balance to con- trol the local market. The commit tee knows what it is doing and it is not wasting the peoples money. If you force this committee to sell now venture to predict that in December potatoes will be selling here at $3.50 per bushel."
 During a short breathing spell .Coun- cilman Dehm found a chance to make another observation. You say the supply would give only about peck to every family? We'll. I think with the money it cost that is pretty dear"
 Attempting to pour oil on the troubled waters, Mayor Quigley ex- plained that the term peck was used only casually, it might be that there would be a bushel for every family.
 Jester Versus Quigley.
 At this point even M. I. Jester, al- derman from the second ward, mayor pro tenn and one of the administra- tion's right bowers, entered the lists, casting his lot with the opposition. Said MT. Jester: When this thing started the committee promised to ap- portion out the potatoes raised at cost price. Now the people want to know why they were fooled. When I give my word to people I always keep it. When voted for a $16,000 appropria- tion I did so with the understanding that they would be sold and the money repaid and think that for the respect

many potatoes the farm committee had voted to buy and was told that the average car holds 700 bushels, | making about 4,200 bushels. He was also advised by the mayor that the committee has between $6,000 and $7,O00 unexpended in it's fund. Where upon Alderman May arose arfd spoke his second little piece as had many others before him last evening.
 May Plays Return Engagement. While I don't accuse anyone of
 underhanded work and do commend
 much that has been done I feel that ir justice to the taxpayers they should be rewarded for what they
 have sacrificed in their taxes. They should get the benefit of potatoes now. If the committee disposes of those potatoes now and then comes
 before the council to ask the
 use of the money again to buy more l shall endorse the idea. But at present I think there are many families that need potatoes I know l do and I don't think 1t is right for the city to make me or others pay $2 or $2.50 per bushel when I might get them from the city at possibly $1.75," said the alderman from the first.
 The mayor assured the council that the committee hopes to hold the bal ance of power and keep the price of potatoes below or about $2. Alder man Curtis again spoke his mind and
 said that while he did not want to dictate. he did think the council should make known its wishes to the committee and then let the members
 use their best judgment. It is large ly a matter of opinion he said, but his view was that by storing pota- toes the price is boosted. He then quoted from a report of a finance board meeting last spring in which he said the statement was made that 1 municipal potatoes would sell for seventy-fve cents a bushel. He then l remarked that with the expense of 5000 and the estimated yield of 4, 900 bushels he thought the cos, | would be close to $2 a bushel. He also quoted the federal food expert, | who attended the last meeting, saying l it is almost impossible to try and con- trol the price of potatoes with the l supply the city has on hand.
 Councilman McDonough, who had
 been doing some quiet figuring, took | a moment to obtain the floor and eX- plained that while he now favored leaving the final disposition to the l committee as the best way out of the | mixup, he would like to give little II told you SOL talk. He reminded the members of the $16,OO0 appropri- | ation and said that if the city gets | from this amount, by production and l purchase, 5000 bushels of potatoes | the cost will be about $2 per bushel If the council had taken this money ] and gone into the early market Il | could have bought potatoes at $1.2s l a bushel and thus secured 12,00G l bushels, or fifty per cent more, at the 1 same price, he said. This, in figures l would have been a saving of $5,00( l and the councilman said it should bt | a lesson to the council to "do nc l more monkeying with municipal farm

COUNCIL GOES OVER
 THE TOP AGAIN
Violent Attack on Public Potatoes
 by Farm Specialists

Absolutely the easiest way to start riot, causing the members to do every thing but actually leap at each others throats, Is to gently whisper, a wh1s- per is always sufficient, in the solemn chambers of the common council that one mysterious word-potatoes. It has never failed yet and judging from last nights example, when almost every member present took his turn at tell ing how the municipal farm commit tee ought to handle it's affairs or In advising other council members now to handle theirs in this reference, the members must eat, drink, sleep ana even dream about potatoes. The ref erence to drinking potatoes may seem rather far fetched until 1t is explained that Alderman M. l. Jester, in saying his little piece, referred to a gallon of potatoes.
 Scrap of Paper Causes Trouble.
 At last nights session however, the festivities were started as have been many more belligerent things, by q mere scrap of paper.' The municipal farm committee offered resolution asking permission to proceed in pay ing up to the DdldlCc Ol CIlClI pended fund for new shipment of potatoes already offered. Immediately the war was on and Alderman Charles Nav was on his feet expounding upon his pet theme of potatoes. When he had finished his admission that he needs potatoes was unnecessary. He had proved it. Although crop distri- button had not even been hinted at, the first ward alderman demanded to know what plans had been evolved for distributing. the potatoes held by the municipal farm committee. Alderman O. F. Curtis, the war horse of the council who never side steps an op- portunity to shoot bolt, no matter where it may land, although should it land in the vicinity of the adm1nistra- ton he never objects, immediately leaped into the already visible breach. He declared that the sentiment of the people is to sell the potatoes as soon as they are dug or bought instead of storing them and running the risk of their spelling. There is a great risk of potatoes spelling, he said, when they are stored on cement floors or in places where there are steam pipes. He said he had no desire to .ictate to the municipal farm committee but nevertheless he did think the wishes of the council should be set forth since the committee was spending the mon- ey given 1t by that body. "The people are objecting to the city holding the potatoes. They feel that it is not fair
New Britain herald., 1917-10-18

Of New Britain these potatoes ought 1 to be given out. I understand that when the farm committee discussed
 it the members were divided. Some l wanted to and others wanted to hold
 them and it is this storing that is go-
 ing to boost the price I think.'
 | Then taking another tack, but nev- CT losing track of the all-important topic of potatoes, Alderman Jester
 fired what proved to be a bombshell into the camp of the mayor. He said:
 And when his honor called the farm
 CTS into his office 1t is what started farmers got wise and said we will keep them the same as the city of New Britain is doing.''
 Somewhat excited the mayor es- saved to reply, remarked that he did not want to talk too much, and then launched into a long explanation of all that he has done for the people of New Britain and refuting the implied charge that it was because of his ac- tion with the farmers that started the price of potatoes to Jumping. I've worked hard and done all that a man could do for the people of New Brit ain and I, personally, have ordered a carload of potatoes on my own ac- count and &an do my bit by helping to care for a few families. Now regard ing this alleged promise of the farm committee to sell their potatoes at any specific time or in any specific way-there was no such promise ever
 made. The only promise was to sell at cost and it will be done. Now in ! the Lords name give this committee chance. Give it a chance to harvest it's crop of potatoes before you begin to criticize them. Now as far as tho meeting in the mayors office to fix the price of potatoes is concerned that is not so. The farmers were asked to bring in their crops to sell. MT. Fa- gan who has raised IT acres, said he could not afford to sell his at less than $2 bushel. MT. Lewis of Southing- ton said his cost him $2 and MT. Mo- Donough, local attorney, said his i cost hinc $1.25 a bushel. MT. Splettz- toezer of Newington said his cost
 $1.50. No attempt was made at all to fix prices and there was only a dis cussion on prices. The farmers were told that the oity's intention was not to compete with them and the insinua- tions made here, and also in com 1 munication in a newspaper. that 1 called the meeting of the farmers in an attempt to boost the prices is not so. Why, no man has worked harder 1 for the people than I have. I have ] even tried to lower the price of coal and we may get that down in time. But 1 if you force the sale of these munic- pal potatoes now, in December and
 January the people won't thank you." l Alderman Jester hastened to square himself with the mayor and said he was somewhat chagrined to learn
 that his remarks had been miscon-
 strued. He explained that what he
 had said was that the meeting .. in the mayors office, rather than be- ling called for the purpose of boost ing prices, had, he thought, a ten dency to boost them. He continued to hold this belief, he said.
 Councilman McDonough asked how
