CONSIDERABLE ADO

Common Council Talks and Talks
 and Talks Some More

At a lOng-Winded common council session last evening during which Alderman 0. r. Curtis and COuncil- man J. F. Gill were the chief de- batOrs the report of the ice investi- gating committee was rendered and accepted. About two hours of dis cussion took place during which the methods employed by the ice com mittee and Alderman o. F. Curtis, self-appointed investigator, were criticized.
 Following the reading of the re- port of the ice committee a heated argument occurred as to whether the ice committee should continue it's work or be dissolved. Alderman Curtis during the debate, accused Mayor George A. Quigley of having gone too far in having a stenographer present at the hearing of the ice dealers last Monday evening and presenting the proceedings to the United States District Attorney Crosby to be used as evidence against the

Richards Predicts Relief.

Alderman Richards, chairman of the ice Investigating committee, re- ported that he had a conference yes- terday With an agent of the New York, New Haven and Hartford rail- road company and that relief for the delayed transportation of ice from Lake COngamOnd would be obtained. A direct route was promised by the railroad representative. he said. An other conference with tho official would be held today
 Alderman Curtis desired to know if the committee had anything to rec ommend. Councilman Eichstaedt re- piled that there is no shortage of ice or anything to worry about and that the ice situation in New Britain was all right at the present time.
 Alderman Curtis said that he un- derstOod there was a shortage and was surprised. A few days ago while in Bridgeport he had a talk with MT. Brown, manager of the Berkshire company, and the latter told him he never had intentions of cutting off New Britain from it's ice supply. He said that the Berkshire company

ANNUAL REPORT OF
 CHILDREN'S HOME
Rev. J. E. Klingberg Says Institu-
 tiOn Had Successful Year

The sixteenth annual report Of Rev d. t.. Nhnebcrs, superintendent of the Chlldrcns Home, presented to the di- rectors in session last evening, indi- cates that the institution has just passed through one of the most suc- cessful years in it's history Officers for ensuing year were elected. A com mittee of three, consisting of Charles l.. Moore, J. A. Carlson and Rev. J. E. Klingberg, was appointed to pre- pare plans for building the new home on Rackliffe Heights and appoint an expert to examine the foundation con- structed there some time ago and ad- wise them whether the work can now be continued.
 During the fiscal year from May 22, 1918, to May 22, 1919, $23,16495 was raised for the support of the orphans and for the building fund An addi- tional amount was raised through the sale of articles, bringing the total up to $26, ,S3O.56.
 
 IS the institution itself. The first do- nation toward this object was made in 1903. At the present time there are 300 children at the institution and the need for the new building was brought out by Rev. MT. Klngberg. The work on the foundation was start ed some time ago but owing to the lack of funds the building was never finished.
 The food problem at the home. re- ports Rev. Mr. Klingberg, is solved through farming. The institution has six cows and 100 chickens and thus the orphans get sweet milk and fresh eggs every day. Good nourishment, proper exercise, pure air, and peaceful rest are the four big factors that work together harmoniously for keeping the children well and happy" said Rev. MT. klingberg.
 The statistics kept at the home in dicated that at the beginning of the year there were 60 boys and 5S girls being cared for at the different houses. Since that time 33 more children have been received.
 During the year Rev. Mr Klingberg received a total of $2,39O.6S for per sonal use. Of this amounts he re- ceved $31O from friends of this city and not members of his church.
 The whole amount in donations re- ceived since the commencement of the work, without any public appeal is $169, ,375.17, including the amount giv- en to the building fund. In addition, $1S.400 was received for food and clothing for the children bringing the total to $1S7,775.17. An inventory of the property of the institution is placed at $65, 5,0O0.

Berkshire company. Mayor Quigley replied that it would be sheer cowardice on the part of the city to refuse to help fight the ice monopoly. Alderman Curtis believed it was bad policy to have the committee investi- gate the price of ice and irritate the Barkshire company, upon whom the city is now dependent. Councilman Gill opposed Alderman Curtis, and the other members of the council soon took up the argument and after two hours of wrangling nothing new was accomplished.
 The report of the ice committee which was accepted follows:
 "T'o His Honor the Mayor and
 Members of the Common Council.
 "Your committee on ice supply, after your vote of approval at the last council meeting June IS. took the matter up the next day (Thursday) the 18th with the committee of alder men in Hartford (who were appoint ed for duties similar to ours) and obtained considerable Information.
 "On Friday, the goth, we had two conferences in Hartford with their committee and ice dealers Gone from Boston,. It appears from evidence there, that only 60 per cent. of normal supply of ice was in storage at any time this year in New Eng land. Those figures include all ice left over from previous year. This is substantially as indicated at our con- ference with local dealers Monday evening.
 ''However, no dealer gave us any assurance that sur supply from the Berkshire company, might not be re- stricted or stopped at any time.
 With only 60 per cent. supply Ot

city stopped off here while on hi; way to Bristol.
 Councilman Kerwin, taking part In the argument for the first time; said that the alderman from Hartford had as much right here as Alderman Curl tis had right to go to Bridgeport and investigate.
 Councilman Gorhach moved to have the committee continue it's work.
 Alderman Curtis wanted the cont mittec to be continued but that the members should con1ine themselves to local conditions.
 Alderman Richards desired to know why Alderman Curtis insisted upor having the committee keep it's hands off the Berkshire company.
 After a series of answers and re- plies, during which practically every member of the council took part, the report of the committee was accepted and the committee was authorized to continue it's work.

of his conversation with MT. Bailey of the Bailey Tee corporation. MT. Bail ey, he said, had been notified by tho Berkshire company that his supply would be cut off.
 Alderman Curtis produced evidence he had secured from the Berkshire company indicating that a carload of ice had been shipped to MT. Bailey on June 21.
 Alderman Richards , prophesied a shortage next October and believed that the matter should be attended to now.
 Mayor QuigIey favored the continu- ance of the committee and have it investigate the high price of ice.
 Curtis Takes Issue.
 Alderman Curtis took issue With the mayor and said that the committee had gone beyond it's work in having a stenographer at the hearing. 'It is the wrong policy," he said, ito irri- tate the Berkshire company"
 Mayor Quigley turned the chair over to Alderman Richards and talk ing the floor replied to Alderman Curtis When the people are forced to pay $20 per ton for ice" he said, 'it is cowardice on the part of the city officials not to furnish evidence which they may have to the United States district attorney. It is a duty to the people to furnish the informa- tion," he continued, land should the Berkshire company cut off its ice supply through spite, the people are still assured of ice.'
 Councilman Dehm wanted to know who invited Alderman Raphael of the Hartford ice Investigating comnAittee here. Alderman Richards explained that the alderman from the Capital

are 100 acres in cultivation on the place and they tell me that Dr. Monore paid only $15 per acre for it all. Farmer Bell wanted to sell just because he was going to have to pay q tax, for a permanent road and that was just the reason that Doctor Monroe wanted to buy and he has cleaned up' fully $10 valuation on each of the 160 acres. Permanent roads make a wonderful difference and I'm guessing that before long farmers along our hard surface roads will get wise to this difference and understand that their tax is small cOmpar- ed to their profit in increased valuations.
