pleted within the next 60 days, ac-
corlng to p. c. Stacy, chairman of
the city park board.
Eight men and four teams are now
being used in the preliminary work.
A, force Of from Is to 20 men proba-
bly, will be put to work some time
next week, the park board chairman
announced. Yesterday, when VIC K
started, many applications for JOS
were received.
Officials Of the Western Engineer

which was awarded the contract,
have agreed to employ only loo al
labor, except for the foremen jobs.
The pool, when complete, will ex-
tend from the basin of the old pool
cast across creek to the hill on
the opposite side and will also ex-
tend southwest along the course Of
the creek, making the pond a quar-
ter to half mile in length. The
beach, along the shores of the pond
where the bath houses are to be
built, will be sanded.
Further arrangements for the maxi
ing of other improvements on the

 The men now at work will be kept on and more taken on as rapidly as possible. The city will see to that.
 The failure to hold another d-time city meeting, therefore. will make no practical difference to the individual.
 Neverthe1Sss' for purely sentimental reasons. tKSre may be fel, some re- sret that one more old city meeting was not held
 The last great gathering here left an unpleasant feeling which might taint the old institution. as remem bered years hence by citizens of New Britain today. in such a way that it would not be agreeable to recall.
 The city meeting that was planned for week after next. if it had not been found that the scheme was impossible. would have been inspired by the hi est sort of feeling. It would have been held in order to make it DOS siole 10 give work to the unemployed and to keep those who had been un employed "on the job" Ii would have been an orderly. almost cere monial affair. and the last city meet Ing of New Britain" would have gone down in the history of the city as one the motive for which was fine.
 Perhaps We may be able to remem- Der this fact when the old form of city meeting has passed along with other old institutions.

 Then another change came. Those desiring to see life" but who had no intention of overstepping tho laws of morality. went there.
