| After some discussion of the subject,
! the council voted. on motion of Coun-
Gilman Earl Mathewson, to refer Coun-
Gilman John H. Carney's motion, made
a month ago. to the committee On pub
| lie works, the tree warden and the
park commissioners. Councilman Car
neys motion called for the planting
OF memorial tree to each of the Nor
WITCH men who had made the supreme
sacrifice.
Mayor Desmond remarked that he
thought that sooner or later there
would be some movement to signaIize
the service of the men who had gone
to the service of their country in the
recent war and he advised that it
might be well for the committee to
move rather cautiously, aiming to as
certain the general trend of public
opinion in this matter. He felt conf
dent he said, that the committee
would exercise good judgment in their
handling of the matter.
The council voted to accept $500 in
settlement of between 1900 and ST.
900 in taxes for 1918 due the city from
the Norwich Compressed Air COM

the motion. remarking that the city
was lucky to get as much as this.
