GERESKJ GOING
 BACK TO CHESHIRE
Tncut Youth Was on Parole When Involved in North Main
 Street Gang Fight.

Michael Gerzeski. twenty years old, of 2S Gold street, the first person committed to the state reformatory at Cheshire following the opening of that institution, is to come under the correctional supervision of it's officials again. This action will remove an- other local case from the docket of the March superior court session, Michael having taken an appeal from the Judgment of the local police court. He has been awaiting re-hearing of evidence connected with the historic gang fight on North Main street the night of January 9, in which black jacks and other weapons were used. He was fined $2OO and costs with six months in jail for carrying concealed weapons while Zigmund Shumsky was given three months in jail on a like charge. Both took an appeal.
 The case came to the attention of the reformatory authorities, Michael being on parole from that institution, and they acted. Yesterday word was received to round him up, Sergeant w. c. Hart and Policeman Thomas Storey getting him last night. He will be returned to the reformatory today by officials of that institution to serve an indefinite term. He was ar rested by the police in 1910 for bur- glary and, in 1913. was again arrested on similar charge, held for superior court and committed to the reforma- tory. Since his release on parole. the authorities say, he has has allied him. eelf with his former cronies and has given the authorities considerable frsnnhle

 was found by her husband.
 It became known today that the authorities are making a rigid inves- tigation of: conditions in which sale of liduor to minors is alleged. 1t is in- timated that there will be more ar rests in the near future with some sensational testimony. Lately there has been an apparent increase in the number of boys and those under age in court, charged with intoxication or connected with cases in which the use of liquor has been prominently mentioned in the testimony.

\ BUSINESS SESSION.

k U.
 \ BUSINESS SESSION.
 Last night the Common Council spent. long time discussing various matters of importance. and it's con- ciusions will meet with general ap- proval.
 Perhaps the most important action was that taken late insfthc evening just before adjournment. when MT. I.andcrs introduced resolution plainly intended to reconcile con- f1icting opinions on the subject of the new Fire and Police Boards. To the general desire among citizens to es- tablish single headed commissions for these departments as soon as it is sensibly possible, there is mo dissent. The only question is as to the method of procedure in bringing about fsthis result. By adopting MT. Landers' resolution, the Common Council puts itself on record as in favor of single headed commissions. It is granted the power, without further legislative. action, to establish these commissions as soon as the present Charter Amendments have made things ready for such action.
 If the Herald senses public opinion correctly. the people are tired of the political slant which has been given to the conduct of these two important departments. Citizens will await with impatience legislative action provid- ing for the separation of these two branches and the p}acing of the fire and police business in the hands of men whose only aim will be to obtain efficiency for the city's interest. Such men are wanted who will themselves be only too. glad to turn their work over as soon as possible to one com potent man who as a single headed commissioner shall thenceforth be in charge of the department.
 As to salaries. no one denies that the position of Prosecuting Attorney is efficiently flllcd and merits compen- sation accordingly. The bclated~ac- tion looking to an adequate and ap- propriate salary for the Corporation Counsel should bring favorable re- port to the Salary Committee. The city is fortunate to have in these positions thoroughly competent att torneys like Senator Klett and Judge Cooper. The services of such men should be recognized. though of course the new amounts which are recommended to be paid them by the city can only make up in part what these officials might earn in their profession were they not barred from accepting very considerable amount of business by reason of their municipal connections.
 The new salary of the Mayor is in line with the figures paid in other cities of New Britain's size, and is not excessive, when the hundreds of de- mands upon tho Mayors private purse for various public matters are taken into account.
 The new schedule of wages for the fire department was argued at length and more intelligently than has often been the case ill the past.
 It is encoura ging to sec our Com mon Council transact city business from a business standpoint only and without Q trace of political bias.

Senatorial courtesy is a term applied
to a custom which has grown up in

ing to each senator practically the
right to discuss any question before
the senate as long as he wants to-
The term has, however, been extended
not only to the courtesy Of debate, but
to denote the general tendency N the
senate, irrespective of political differ
ences, for the senators to be very kind
