NO PUBLIC HEARING
 ANENT. ANNEXATION
Mayor Tells Councilman C0nlOn
 No Time Is Available

The common council voted at a special meeting last night to adver- tise the boundary lines of the terri tory in Maple Hill, Elm Hill, Ken sington, Plainville and Southington, which it is proposed to annex to New Britain. Mayor Quigey explained that under the state law, three weeks notice must be given in ad- vance of the opening of the legisla- turc, otherwise no annexation pro- ject could be carried out. Next April the voters will be given their chance to say whether they favor it or not, as referendum provision will be made. applying to all the towns af- fected.
 Councilman F. L. Conlon raised the point that the people of New Britain should be given the oppor- tunity of expressing their opinion at an open forum, to which Mayor Quigley replied that the time was short and unless publication of the boundaries was made today, the re- quirements of the law would not be met and nothing could be done about annexation for 10 years on account of the fact that the senator ial district boundary lines are con- cerned and can be changed only at 10 year intervals.
 Councilman Conlon said he had not made up his mind whether to favor or oppose annexation and his constituents were interested and should be heard. Annexation should have been debated year ago, in an ticipation of action at this time. he said. The residents of the Maple Hill and Elm Hill districts had held a mass meeting on the matter and New Britain should do likewise, in his opinion.
 Discuss Quigley's Future
 Mayor Quigley replied that it was necessary to have the senator and representatives from New Britain on the charter revision committee and he did not know until election day on November f who they were, as there were contests for the three places. "A year ago my constituents in the sixth ward had not elected me as mayor, so ou sec l could not have brought the matter up at that time" he added, smilingly. Well, maybe they will not elect you next time" Councilman Conlon replied. "Oh. well, by next election we will probably have all these Maple Hill and Elm Fill votes. you see," the mayor pointed out, and there was a general laugh.
 In reply to a question, Mayor Quigley said the population of New Britain would be increased by ap- proNamtely 1900 men, women and children, through the annexation of Maple Hill and Elm Hill Only small pieces of land would be added from the other towns.
 The question arose as to which of the New Britain newspa pers should carry the advertisement, Councilman Sablotsky believing both should be patronized, but his amendment to that effect was defeated and the matter was left to the mayor and President Judd of the board of finance and taxation, who decided that the one which did not print the advertisement relative to charter amendments two years ago would be awarded the business at this time.
