Discussing events that have ttsns- pired in municipal circles during the past year and recommending for the consideration Of comm on council members a wide range of new civic activities Mayor A. NJ. Paonessa last night delivered his annual message, the third he has presented to the council.
 As had been predicted. no men ton vas made Of an aviation field. The common cornell membsrship was not taken 10 task in a severe manner for reported acts savoring of politics. but the mayor did make reference to their oath Of office and reminded that matters foreign to tho subject under consideration had otentimes becn brought into play In reaching decisions.
 In all. there were SS topics dis cussed by the mayor, as follows: To the Members of the Common
 Council:
 Gentlemen:--A statement of the city's financial condition, together with recommendation for the cur rent yoar are, by provision of the charter. required of the mayor an- nually. In compliance herewith. I am offering to you the following statement and recomm sndations:

time to time these matters will come up before this body for action. If, in your opinion, the good of this municipality warrants their adop- ton am hopeful that you will so vote; but If after honest consdera- ton of every phase of the question you feel that they cannot be adopt ed, then 1t is your duty 10 so vote. In this way you will be fulfilling your duty as member Of the com mon council.
 T wish at this time 10 extend my hearty thanks to the members of boards and commissions whose CO., operation in the past year has been responsible in great measure for the city's progress. To the gen. oral public l would also extend my appreciation. Continued coopera- ton is the keynote to the ac- complishment of bigger and better things for bigger and better New Britain.

 "A third proposition concerned In this policy Of deferred payments is that of refrgerating plant at the municipal abattoir. Only through the courtesy of the state department Of health has it been possible for the city to continue the use Of the slaughter house this cal. endar year. The state department has passed a ruling requiring the installation of c cooling plant. This Is 8 very necessary detail Of slaugh- ter houses and from a health stand point is one of the most important. The state department has granted an extension of time for the use Of the present plant, minus the refris- eratinE equipment and as soon as money is available through this loan plan, the addition will be made.

A Red Blood Food
 For Feeble Old Folks

Doctors say that one of the most frequent causes of feeble. sickIy, rundown conditions in old people is thin, pale blood, lacking in strength building power. In many cases, as people grow older, the iron in the blood is partly used up without be ing replaced. and even the most nourishng foods will do you Httlc good until you get back this lost iron, without which the blood can not be rich, red and strengthening, With plenty of iron in the blood man or woman may be young, vigor- ous and healthy at 70 or S0-while at 30 or 40 with deficient supply of iron people may look and feel 10 to 70 years older than they really are.
 Tor 1t is the iroa in your blood that enables it 10 change food into firm, hen l. ny tissues and promotes vigorous energy and endurance.

TROTSKY IGNORED
Is Not Given Place On the New Soviet Cabinet Which Has Just Been Elected.

Moscow, May 2l. (AP)-An mem bers of the council Of peoples com missars, of which Alexis l. Rykoff Is president, were reelected today by the central executive committee of the union Of soviet socialist repub- lies.
 The central executive committee had been named by the third con- grsss Of soyiets which concluded It's sessions here today. The central executive committee comprises two chambers, a union council and d council Of nationalities.
 General surprise was caused by the failure of Leon Trotzky, former minister of war, who recently re- turned from political scclusion. to secure q post in the soviet cabinet. It is believed that Trotzky's poli- tical fate still hangs in the balance
 It is understood that Trotzky had been promised post in the soviet cabinet, and up until the mAnent when the announcement Of nf un- changed council personnel was made, Trotzky's former associates in the government, and communists generally. had believed he would be made commissar of foreign trade. This post has been vacant since the appointment Of its former occupant. NJ. Krassin, as soviet ambassador 10 France
 But at the eleventh hour serious obstacles to Trotzkys appointment arose in the council, and it is un- derstood tho argument was made that Trotzky's appointment and a rcgrouping of government heads at this juncture in the international situation would be inopportune.
 It is asserted that communist leaders felt encouragement Of the cabinet now would be interpreted abroad as d symptom of weakness of the bolshevili government.
 The belief here is that Trot2liy Will now have to work his way back into office and into the good graccs of the ruling powers by slow de- grces, and by accepting any post which the government may offer him.

MURDERS GROWING,

HOniCideS in United States Double Number in 1900

1 New York, May 2l. (AP)-Amer. ica's annual toll of murder now ex. eeeds ll,00O and the homicide ral, for 1924 was double that of 1900, Frederick l.. Hoffman. consulting statistician of the Prudential Lii, Insurance company of America, say in an article in The Spectator, al insurance journal, published yester day.
 "Antioipations that the homicid, rate had reached a climax in 199. were not realized" he says. "Th, murder situation in tho UniteJ States is worse than ever. Analysis Of the figures for the last six months of 1924 compared with the first sin months indicate that the trend iS distinctly toward greater frequency.
 Mir. Hoffman has compiled statis. ties for 2S of the largest cities, em. bracing fifth Of the population of the country, showing these cities had 609 homicides in 1900, a rate of E. 10 100000 Of population. and z,219 in 1924. or 1o.3 to 100000.
 Recent murder trials" the arti- cIe says "leaye no room for douht that our judicial administration fin capital cases Is not what 1t should be"
 Pistols and poison are too easily obtained by the public, the writer asserts charging that those who seli reyolvers through the mails, guar anteeing them Ito shoot to kill" are abetting murder. He urges closer supervision of the sale of deadly poi son. Also, he says, there should he a federal system Of judicial statistic and q more thorough examination Of mortality facts.

 Unacccptcd Streets
 "As have reported 10 you before, Ha1 surprised to learn during the past year that hardly more than one-half the streets of our city have boen accepted. During the current year 1t will be my aim to bring as many of these highways into tho list of accepted streets as possible, A highly beneficial piece Of legisla- ton adopted by the general as- sembly this year will permit Of bor- rowing amounts up 10 si0o.0O0 for public works and extending pay ments over period of five years.
 T would suggest that no time be lest in availlng ourselves Of this op- portunity 10 work street, grade and building lines and attend to the con- dition of the roadways on these un- accepted streets. It will not be pos- Nble to take care of all these high ways this year. Those streets which Are to be worked can expect only Miner road repairs. but they can be assured of a vastly.1mproved condi- ton.
 You will realize no doubt the importance Of this matter. The ac- cepting of great number of streets will aid in the development and ex- tension of the city. At present there is indication Of congestion in those districts where the acceptance Of streets has invited building. There arc many owners of building lots who hesitate to proceed with their building plans because Of the un- favorable condition Of unaccepted treets. Then, too, there Is the vital question of finance. If We can de- 'eiop and accept a number of these ighwsys the property owners will rsNn a position to attain better loans il orn the banks and building will be ,, couraged.
