LIFE OF CAR CAN BE
INCREASED BY CARE

Not long ago distinguished editor
wrote an extremely interesting story
on the potential life OF a motor
vehicle. He tGld us that he had in
his possession motor car which he
had bought htteen years ago and
which was atill very much in active
service. He further stated that he
believed this venerable bit of mocha
nism was good for another fifteen
wears. He pointed the moral for
motor car manufacturers that they
should buil1 every vehicle with the
potential life span of this aged phe-
nomenon.
Now in point OF fact that is just
what American motor car builders are
doing. The potential life of every
car turned out of our factories is
almost unlimited. What shortens
this contingent span is generally
Ignorance. N,nety-nine hundredths
of the American motoring fraternity
is densely ignorant of the vehicle
that il it's reason for being. The
average car owner knows practically
nothing of the mechanism OF his
mount. nothing of it's principles Of
otration, of it's needs. and the results
that will follow neglect. All he
knows of his car is how to drive it,.
If we take perfect fabrication and
adjustment as 100 per cent mainte-
nance, then the average car gets
about 10 per cent of the attention
that it needs. II every car OF the
nearly 10000 coo that are now rum
ming in this country received 100 per
cent maintenance, we venture to say
that the average life of car would
be well over zen years instead OF the
scant five that is estimated to be the
ordinary span now.-MoToR for March.

 The next action was on the pro- posed transfer of $20,O00 from the pavement fund to the board of char ity. .4
 Senator Hall introduced motion for it's adoption, which was seconded by Commissioner McMahon.
 Quoting sections of the charter, Commissioner Kehoe claimed a delib- crate violation of law in the attempted transfer He read sections to indi- cate that such transfer was permis- sible only when the fiscal year was within 60 days of it's termination.
 Ward Grievance Aired.
 'The money was appropriated for pavement on South Main street." he said, but it wasn't done. It if was in the third ward it would have been done
 Commissioner Quigley announced that he would stand by MT. Kehoe.
 The counsel was again called upon for an opinion, but stated that there was no section of the charter that directly covered such matter. The sensible section, he felt. would be to adopt the resolution ard place the fund at the disposal of the charity department whenever it's need might be felt
 Commissioner P. c. McIntJfe's state ment that he would favor the resolu- tion since it was for charity, elicited the following statement from MT. Ke- hoe:
 Stop Violating Law.
 Its about time we stopped violat- ing the law in this city. We've seen enough of it. The federal and state authorities have already found it necessary to come in here and enforce the laws that we wouldn't require obedience to-"
 The question was called for and the chair declared the motion to approve the transfer lost
 There was no objection voiced to the proposal for the refund of $1O,000 to the board of charities The money will be turned over to the city treas ury by the state to reimburse the city for funds spent to feed paupers and for the deportation of Spaniards
 A resolution for the issue of street bonds to the amount of $50,0O0 was introduced by Senator Hall. Street Bonds t'Pernicious'' Commissioner Quigley characterized ] the movement, ''pernicious business"
New Britain herald., 1921-10-22

sums of money to build auditoriums in the schools. He asked if the costs of such halls was not one sixth of the entire building costs. With the gym nasium included, Commissioner Good win admitted that it was.
 Commissioner c. F. Smith asked the chair if it was necessary to vote yes or not on the resolution as submitted or if the improper working could be righted. He was informed that the board must adhere strictly to the busi- ness as contained in the call.
 Commissioner A. J. Sloper expressed fear that difficulty would be encount- cred in disposing of the bonds if there was a flaw discovered anywhere.
 Moves Adjournment.
 F. S. McMahon moved for a two weeks adjournment, but later with drew his motion in favor of Abraham Gorbach's motion that the item for $400, ,000 in school bonds be rejected.
 Commissioner Quigley questioned the right of the chair to rule a motion of any description out of order. The charter amendment, he claimed, re- ferred to taxes and not to s'bonds. !"
 At this point Messrs. Quigley and Kehoe both launched forth in an att tack against the charter amendment that created the Meeting Board. 'fBig Joke'' Says Quigley. Tits a big joke" Commissioner Quigley stated. Scarcely a man or woman in this room has seen copy of the amendment or knows what his duties and powers are."
 Were nothing but bunch of rub Der stamps to say yes or 'no',' Com- missioner Kehoe said. '"The amend ment should be changed so that this int -lligent body of men and women council act once in a while. / Senator Hall defended the amend ment. He stated that it's apparent un- Ipopularity was due to misunderstand- l ing.
 | Commissioner Kehoe again arose and attacked the provision which requires l that 100, names be secured for a pro- posed amendment. He charged that | the difficulty of securing so many signers was realized and for that req son the clause was inserted. The question on Gorbach's motion was called for and on a viva voce vote it was unanimously adopted. | Pay For Normal School. l Senator Halls motion for the adop- | ton of a recommendation for the pay

He did. not approve of bonding the city for anything but permanent works. He suggested that the mat ter be referred back to the board of finance and taxation so that a request for special tax might be made. The commissioner favored paying for street works next April, instead of passing the debt along to future gen erations.-
 d.. J. Sloper agreed with the former mayor that the city should not bond itself for temporary works.
 The mayor explained that money is needed soon if the present street gangs are to be maintained.
 Commissioner A. Vibberts remarked that the board of public works has dumped enough of the remains of semi-permanent street pavement on

of another school building and the purchase of land therefor" Commis- Fioner Kehoe asked if the land was for the building mentioned or for an entirely new building.
 Mayor Curtis called upon Corpor- ation Counsel Kirkham to explain the matter which he said. had occurred to him before the meeting.
 The counsel explained that the lan- euage- of. the call for the meeting was similar to that used in the board of finance and taxation report to the common council, and in ! accordance with charter provision. He favored adoption of the motion in it's form as presented, admitting that it was not quite correct, but explained that it was copy of the resolution adopted by the taxation board and the council.
 M Like Chinese Tailor. Commissioner Kehoe remarked that the Meeting board was in the position of the Chinese tailor to whom a piece of cloth was brought to be made into pair of trousers and pair of trous- CTS brought along as a model. Fol- lawing the model exactly. the tailor placed two patches on the new trousers.
 The charter provision quoted by the counsel. he said, provided for cases where the building was to be placed on land included in the item, but in the case before the board the school was on Beaver street, and tho land on Bond street.
 E. Clayton Goodwin, chairman of the committee on school accommoda- ko1I >< n1 room. The present program of $400,- 900 offers only a partial solution he said, it being necessary for the board to prepare for similar request next spring. The entire program will run to $7S0 900, he pointed out.
 Goodwin Interrogated.
 Andrew J. Sloper asked if the land for the school has already been pur- chased and he was informed that il was. P. S. McMahon inquired as te the reason why the Nathan Halo ap- propriation had fallen short. He wa: told that the condition of the bono market was responsible. Tho com missioner then asked for an itemiZet account of what the $400,000 would do.
 Commissioner Goodwin explained that it will complete the Nathan Hal school, build a school on the Carmod, site, purchase the Andrews propert. for a school site, and build addition to the Osgood and Stanley schools.
 Mayor George A. Quigley raise the question of standardization o school buildings. He attacked tn school committees policy of expend ing large sums on elaborate buildings expressing himself as in favor of plai red brick buildings, the cost of which he pointed out would be about hal that of the present scale.

his property to pave all the streets of the city. Much of the work rep resented in the stuff dumped on his grounds has not been paid for yet, it was argued.
 The decision of the chair that Sem or Halls motion was defeated, was douLted. On a standing vote the is- sue was found to be lost by large majority.
 Other Business Up.
 Com mmissioner M. J. Kelly asked for system whereby members of the board could qualify as such. Mr., Gorbach thought such system would be good. He claimed to have seen men voting who were not members of the board. Commissioner c. J. Dehm moved that MT. Gorbach point out who the men were, but the mayor

committee the other day, two Of them
by prohibition advocates and the 9TH

ney Of Michigan, committee chairman
Wayne B. Wheeler, counsel for the

of $500 a gallon on the whisky, the
indicating of all stocks in bond to
render it unfit for beverage purposes,
and genuine enforcement of the law
by at least one federal district attor-
ney.
Prohibition Commissioner John r.

now in the government warehouses be
concentrated in three or four ware
houses in Kentucky, where heavy
guards can be placed and illegal with
drawals be prevented. He said that
100000 gallons have been with
drawn since January Ia, 1920, leaving
100000 gallons in storage.
Representative Fordney said that

eminent, sold to the buyers, and the
