Would Let Mayor Name
Adjustment Board Subs

Members of the board Of adjust
ment favor a charter change which
would empower the mayor to name
substitute commissioners TO sit when
members of the board are disuuali-
fled, creating a situation similar to
that which now exists in the board
of compensation and assessment.
The charter requires the vote of
five members TO pass any order.
There are but seven members on
The commission. Al last nights
meeting there was a quorum, but In
both cases assigned for hearing a
commissioner was disqualified and
no business could be transacted
Had ii been possible for the mayor
to name a substitute for service at
last nights meeting. business could
have gone on as usual.
Under Chapter Il, Section 4, of
the city charter, power of naming
substitute commissioners on the
board of compensation and assess
ment is given the mayor, and il is
the wish of the hoard Of adjustment
to have a similar clause inserted in
the chapter concerning that body.

INC|NERA7OR BAN
LIFTED BY BOARD
Business Men May Burn Rub
bish on Own Properties
KIRKHAM MAKES RULING
Appeal of z. r. Jaife Against Mario
Cianci Postponed - November 13
Also Assigned For Discussion of
Conrad Cianci's Petition.

At the suggestion OF Corporation
Counsel John H. Kirkham, the
building department today lifted a
ban on incinerators in business and
industrial zones which had been in
force since the passage Of the zon-
ing law.
The effect Of this action will be
TO permit the construction Of such
n convenience in the rear of Main
street stores, and the appeal of Earle
X. Bishop on behalf of the Fair de-
partment store has been withdrawn.
Mr.. Bishop gave notice of an appeal
when advised by the building de-
partment that he could not con-
struct an inCinerator for that COM
pany because Of the provisions of
coming.
The incinerator question was
threshed out at two meetings of the
board of adjustment and on both
occasions p. f. McDonough, a meIn-
Der of the board. interpreted the act
in such a way as would permit of
the placing Of incinerators without
any order from the board. Other
members Of the board now agree
with Mr.. McDonough and his inter-
probation Is the same as it placed by
Corporation Counsel John II, Kirk
ham.
The building department advised
the board of adjustment last night
it Is prepared to issue such permits
provided the city's legal adviser ap-
proves. Sucn approval has now
been given and the question OF in
Generators Is believed to be removed
from the board of adjustment per-
manently.
A meeting of the board was called
last night for the purpose of acting
on the Jaffe, Cianci and Bishop ap-
peals. Five members of the board
are required for a quorum and there
we're five members present.

ed by Mario CianCi on Talcott street,
Chairman w. E. Atwood said attor-
neys for the parties had agreed to
a postponement until November 13,
on account of the illness of Judge
G.. w. klett, Cianci's attorney.
Jaffe made an unsuccessful at
tempt TO have the board issue an
order to stop work pending the
hearing.
When the incinerator question
came up for hearing, Commissioner
S. NJ. Davidson disqualified himself
as he is one OF the owners of tho
Fair Department store. Efforts to
have him sit as a member under the
argument that general proposition
on incinerator construction was up
rather than a specific case In which
he might be interested, were of no
avail and he declined to act. This
left but four members, one less than
quorum.
Since no action could be taken,
the appeal Of Conrad Cianci for a
special exception to allow him to
erect a building larger than per-
mitted at the corner of Stanley and
Park streets, was next called. Judge
Bernard F. Gaffney disqualified him.

his son, was attorney for Cianci.
Again there were but four members
and no action could be taken.
These cases were, by agreement
among the parties assigned for
