CITY HALL BUDGET
 MAY BE INCREASED
Loss Of New Britain Club and
 Repairs Are Considered

The city hall commission may re- quire s1o.0o0 moro Tn its budget this year than last because the New Brit ain club will retire from its quarters in the municipal building in d few months, causing tho cie-- to lose the income derived from -sntal and a considerable amount of money will be needed to make alterations neces- sary 10 fit up the old club rooms for offices.
 The rent paid by the club runs close to s5.0oo year. It is estimat- ed that a like sum will he needed to make alterations and since the new offices are to he occupied entirely by the city, there will he no income. The city hall commission will meet short ly to prepare list of estimated cX- penses to be presented the board Of finance and taxation for considera- ton and thest two items will be in cluded.
 There has been talk in the com mon council of turning over the club rooms to veterans organizations One plan suggested, which has many fol- lowers. is to allot one front room to the World War veterans, one to the Spanish American war veterans and one to the veterans of the Civil war. and 10 make a meeting room out of the present dining hall. Such plan will be opposed by the city hall com mission. The board feels that ample room can be provided for the veter- ants in other parts of the building while crowded conditions now existing in city offices on the second and fourth floors can be remedied by utili- .ation of the present club rooms as offices.
