Just steady drive planned against the forces of crime allied. as grand jury has reported. with crooked politicians.

 At the same time Swanson was Igoing into office. Frank J. Loesch. his first assistant, was promised all appropriation of Sl0b.0o8 d year by the county commissioners in his fight on crime. Loesch was prose cutor for the six special grand jur- ies that investigated the bloody April primary and the crime situ- ation in general.
 The commissioners also voted to repay public spirited citizens $225.- 600 they expended for expenses cf the six luries. At the time the tirsi jury was called the commissioners refused funds, saying they believed the move was illegal.

 Members of the committee who have had experience with audits were agreed that the latter was the preferred plan. No action will be talk en until the proposed amendments are submitted by the corporation counsel.
 Extend City's Borrowing Power Chairman Hall expressed approval of | plan to amend the charter to allow the city 10 borrow funds in anticipation of collection of aa- sessments levied. The city attempted to borrow under this plan last week. but found that it was not permissible although the corporation counsel was convinced it was within the spirit of the charter.
 A communication was received from the garage commission asking that an amendment be made to al- low that board to purchase all automottve equipment for all but the fire department. The argument was made that the city would profit through collective buying.
 The communication was referred with the explanation that the point could be covered by ordinances without changing the charter. Mir. Bengtson discussed the pos sibility of doing away with the off year election at which one-haIf the common council is chosen. Interest In this election does not warrant its continuance. he averred. Mir. Quigley pointed to the danger of having all green" council members elected, a condition which he admitted to be unlikely, yet possible. No action was taken.
 On the question of merging the park board and the municipal recreation commission. it was voted to have Chairman w. F. Mangan. of the former and Chairman James J. Naughton of the latter boards pres- ent at the next meeting. next Mon- day night.
 Would Censor Ss.l,ool Bills
 A proposition which has come before several previous committees again made its appearance when Mayor Paonessa recommended that the school committee be required either to submit its bills for ap- provat by the common council or levy its own taxes. This. he ex- plained. would make the school com- mittce take the onus for such of the tax increases as it causes
 Attorney McDonough and Mir, QuigIey agreed that the public should be apprised Of where the tn- creases are coming, the latter telling of instances where he was blamed for higher tax when the school board was at fault.
 Discussing city finances Mir. Quigley thrice repeated statement, which went unchailenged. that the city is rapidly approa ching the time when 1t must build schools out of di- rect taxation.

PARSONS, HARTFORD

The most notable theatrical event of many seasons will be the visit of the Mrs. Flake Company to Parsons this Thursday for half week, in Shakespeare's merry comedy Much Ado About Nothing" in which it comes direct from an enormously successful engagement at the Hollis street theater. Boston. Much Ado" has been but seldom presented in re- cent years because of extreme diff ficulty in casting the many exacting roles and Harrison Grey Fiske, who made the present acting version and directed the production. spent many months in gathering together the fin- est artists on the English speaking stage who. in addition to often stellar success, were experienced in the pre- sentation of Shakespearean plays. The result of these efforts was 10 bring together most remarkable company. including Mrs. Fiske. Ian Maclaren. Pedro de Cordoba. Charles Dalton. Betty Linley. Sydney Greenstreet, Dallas Welford. Godfrey Wardwell. Charles War burton. Virginia Phillips. Horace Pollock and others of note.

Asked tho direct question of wheth- CT he would prefer 10 have the pres cnt system of appointments contin- ued or be bound by the charter 10 select from among the five highest men in an examination certified 10 by a civil service commission, the fire board chairman chose the latter "by all means," and expressed q be- lief that tho police commissioners would share that view.
 Former Mayor Quielcy brought the proposal before the revision committee and recommended it's adoption. calling attention to it's sue cessful operation in other years.
 Councilman John l.. 1Iolmberg questioned it's efficiency. He insisted that the latitude given boa rds under the system makes it possible for a man who is highest to fail of ap- pointment and a man Of much lower grade be favored.
 Hall and Quigtcy tn Tilt
 In the expressed opinion of Ser- ator Edward F. Hall, who was elect ed chairman Of the committee a' the opening of the meeting. the commissioners would do better to rely on the chiefs of the two de. partments for advice than 10 de- pend on written examination.
 "I don't believe it," cut in Mir. Quislcy.
 Well. I believe it. because l know it's so." Senator Hall answered look ing over his shoulder at Mir. Quigley who occupied a seat behind him.
 The former mayor shot back: Well. I don't believe it, because know it's not so.."
 Rings Of favored few exist and those in the ring" arc recommenI- cd for promotions. QuiClcy charged, drawing circles with his fingers as he talked.
 Alderman John r. Maerz. a mem- ber of the last civil service commis- sion. came out in favor Of the plan explaining that. If nothing more. Il caused the firemen to study.
 When Alderman n. l.. Nair asked why the plan was dropped by the city. Mir. Quigley responded. "Poli tics.''

 \ vote was passed to ask for a draft of an amendment to put all special appropriations over $25, ,00O before the voters for public ex- precision. This came after it was de- cided that return ot the city meeting board or a similar agency was un- wise.
 Mir. Christ estimated that not more than 10 per cent of the voters would take advantage of the opportunity. and MT. Bengtson placed tbe per centage as lower.
 Suggests Initiative Plan
 George V. Hamlin went on record as favoring initiative by which the electors. or specified numher of them. might cause any question, financial or otherwise. to go before the public for vote. Mir. Hamlin several years ago. urged such a plan on important projects. notably the war memorial, but found charter restrictions made it impossible.
 An objection to this was raised by Chairman Hall who feared the re- suits of a small group being in a position to force an expensive city election.
 Alderman ]. Gustave Johnson fav- ored this plan and when it came to a vote. Mr. Christ alone voted mo" The vote was merely on the question of whether the corporation counsel should be asked to draft proposed amendment.
