COUNCIL COMMITTEE TO GET
 AFTER ODORIFEROUS DUMP
ALDERMAN DEAN OPPOSES GRANTING PERMITS FOR
 GASOLINE PUMPS ON MAIN STREET
Only Two Cases of ntoxicaon Reported By PoliceCounc
 Looking Into Garbage Question

The odoriferous dump on the land of Nelson Clair, Park street, came up for an airing in the common council at the meeting Tuesday evening. There is to be more than an airing for on motion of Alderman Padgett it was voted that a committee of three members and the mayor make an in- vestigation and see that the nuisance Is abated.
 Alderman Padgett said that the smell from the smouldering dump was nauseating and that the Grove street section had stood it as long as possi- ble.
 Peter A. Gardner, city health off, cer, said that the place had been un- der observation for three months and that it had twice been blown up and that the fire department had two or three times deluged it with water. He stated that matter from the gas house had been put on the dump and that it continued to shoulder and that after a rain it always broke out fresh. He thought that Clair ought to see that the nuisance is abated and that Clair had told him that if two loads of dirt were furnished it would be smother ed The dirt was hauled but the hui sance is still nuicancing.
 The police report for September showed but nine arrests and only two of these were for intoxication, rec ord that has not been beatein in years None of the defendants were sent to jail Four tramps were lodged. Prop erty reported stolen amounted to $55, of which $25 was recovered.
 Several small petitions for building weresFeeeiyed and granted.
 When a petition for erecting a gas olene pump on Main street opposite the so-called Cutler property, was read, Alderman Charles E. Dean i'm mediately opposed the granting of the permit. Alderman Dean said that he was opposed to granting permits for pumps on the main street and espe- cially at this place. where there was only a narrow roadway between the trolley track and the curb and auto mobiles stopping there would block traffic. He did not believe that per mits should be granted to anyone on Main street. The matter was referred to the highway committee to investl- gate and report to the next meeting.
 Applications for positions as spe- cial police were read from Eugene Gibney, Napoleon Bazallion and Jeff Bergeron. All were elected.
 Elmer Munroe had tax on $1,3o0 abated. Remi & Lizotte had tax on s2,OOe abated and Guy Zitto had a tax on an automobile abated. The same procedure had been taken by the selectnen on the town tax.
 Alderman Duvert called attention to the throwing of swill and refuse in to the Quinebaug river from the long bridge. The alderman said that peo- ple were doing it nights and were making no secret of 1t as they would go out on the bridge right under an electric light and toss stuff over. He said he had seen it done, but did not know the names of the people. The matter was referred to the health off cer.
 This brought from Mayor Marcy the matter of garbage collection, which has been under consideration for some time. The mayor said he could appreciate that people wanted to get rid of garbage, but thought
