saving, allowing present sidewalks to remain.
 Appointment of a committee to study the need for a municipal air port and the availability of desira- ble lands was voted on motion of Councilman Roger W. Whitman.
 The council did not favor sale of an oil storage tank at the public works department yard for $4O0, which it was said is about $1,000 less than was paid for it. Members cx- pressed the belief that it should be kept to be available in the event it becomes necessary for the city to buy and store large quantities of road oil.
 With reference 10 the petition Of the Citizens Property Owners aS- sociation that a committee of coun- Cilmen and of association members be appointed to suggest reductions in assessments. Mayor PaonesSa re- ported that no authority had been given him to appoint such a com- mitteo and he therefore returned the resolution to the council. Coun- Cilman LuCian MaCora was of the belief that this authority had been voted, he said, but he was correct ed. The council accepted the mayors s report, but did not authorize such a committee.

That the common council looks favorably on condemnation proceed ,ings to take right of way through land of A W. Williams for sewer construction purposes, was made evil ~dent at last nights meeting when no defense was offered after Williams .had been criticized and this pro eedure suggested.
 The board of public works offered Agreements with members of the Sandberg family for rights through their land for $4,O0O, and with Hart X Hutchinson to cross that corpora lions property, gratis, lt was then brought out that agreements on the Williams tract have not been made because of the amount of money de- manded by the owner. At this point. Councilman w. s. Warner comment ed: NO one property owner should be permitted to hold up a municipal job such as this"
 Mayor Paonessa reminded of the possibility of condemnation proceed ings, and Corporation Counsel John H. Kirkham agreed with him. The agreements presented were approv- ed.
 On Motion of Alderman Walter R. Falk, a recommendation of the fire board to purchase a GMC truck for the mechanical department and a Buick coupe for the deputy chiefs was defeated. Later, the common council voted to authorize purchase of a GMC truck and Ford coupe.
 On recommendation of Mayor Pa onessa. the following committee was appointed to negotiate with the city of Hartford on the merger of the water plants of the two cities: James J. Watson, Joseph F. Lamb, Clayton A. Parker, E. w. Pelton, P. F. Me Donough, Edward r. Hall, George T. Kimball and Charles r. Smith.
 Councilman John C. Milford of the second ward introduced a resolu- tion to require that none but pas teurized milk be sold in schools to pupils. The move was rejected de- cisively when the council learned from Dr. Richard W. Pullen, super intendent of health, that the pro- posed ordinance would be of no benefit to the children and that 40 per cent of the milk consumed in this city is of the type that the Will ford resolution would ban,
 After some discussion, the special committee inquiring into the possi- bility of establishing a park in the fourth ward was authorized to se- cure options on available land. It was the belief of Councilman w. D. Boyle that the park commission should handle the entire matter, but Alderman J. G. Johnson. chair man of this committee explained that no option could be binding un- less the council approved later.

Just to emphasize what PRESI-
DENT COOLIDGE thinks of Bust

son, John, is at present attending
the Summer School Of Business
Training in Harvard University.
Surely the young people of Browns
vile, and the Valley should arouse
themselves to the wonderful value
of a business educational training.
If it is worth while to the son of
the President of the United States,
it certainly should appeal to the
young people throughout the coun-

The business world offers as
great, If not greater, opportunities
for the ambitious young people than
the professional world.
