Anti -Joy- Riding In City Automobiles

| Joy-riding in automobiles owned by | the city departments and the use oi l these cars in other than business houra | was again the subject for discussion before the common council on Monday l evening at it's September meeting 1 when Alderman C. V. Pendleton made
 report of the result of his notification l to the city department heads on the I subject.
 | He had been delegated to convey te | the City department heads the vote oi 1 the council as to painting the name Norwich" and the name of the de partment on the automobiles in letters | not less than two inches tall. and also | the vote concerning hours when the cars were to be used.
 He reported that he had notified the police and fire departments. the street commissioner, the president of the water department and the president of the gas and electrical commissioners commissioners had answered that he would take it up at the next meeting. the president of the water board had said he would refer it to the water commissioners, as he did not consider the council could dictate to them. the street commissioner had said he would comply as soon as possible, and the police and fire heads had said the reg
 
 partments.
 When the business of the council had been nearly concluded. Alderman Pendleton said he had a few more re- asked Councilman Gleason. who is the council represen tative on the water board, what action the board had taken at its meeting last Friday night. Councilman Gleason answered that the matter had not been brought up and no action had been taken
 Alderman Pendleton said that the councils vote seemed to be taken a joke. There had been plenty of time to comply, but the president of the water board was still riding around in an apparently private car. with no mark on it to show that it belonged to the city There are four things to do: either rescind this vote, or leave it as 1t is until the taxpayers begin to howl, or put on a penalty for not complying with this. or refuse 10 pay these bills for gasoline and tires.
 Mayor Desmond remarked that it was evidently supposed that the wish es of the council would have some weight with the departments, but this didn't seem to be the effect.
 Alderman Wells called attention to the fact that two trucks of the public works department had been marked and Alderman Pendleton admitted he had observed that. MT Pendleton fur they said he had been called up j;ist before the meeting by a we'll know citizen who said he had seen a city department truck out on Sunday with a mans whole family in it. so that he hardly supposed that was a business trip.
 Councilman Crooks said Greeneviile people could tell a good deal about the amount of joy riding that goes on on Sundays. and Councilman Harrington , asked if the citizen MT. Pendleton re- ferred to would come and testify. MT. Pendleton said there was need of that. Everybody knew what was go ing
 The mayor said these things had not come to his attention. and certainly no one has a right to use public prop erty fer his private use.
