Proposal to Engage En- gineers to Report on Faults and Remedies Fails to Gain Ap- proval of City Execu- tive, III at Hospital.
Official Has Own Ideas on Project and Turns Down Contract for SS,50O Ex- penditure-Nair Returns Resolution on New Fire Limits.

At the request of Mayor Quigley, who has expressed desire to un- dertake solution of the sewage dis posal problem along lines which he has formulated in his own mind, .Acting Mayor David L. Nair today vetoed the common councils resolu- tion engaging engineers to make a survey.
 The resolution, adopted at meet ing April 16 over the objection of Councilman William D. Boyle, who asked the meeting to postpone action until Quigley's views could be learned, authorized the board of public works to enter into contract with Morris Knowles, Inc, of Pitts burgh, Pa., to make survey and prepare recommendations at a cost of sS,5O0.
 The resolution was prepared by the board of public works and the board of finance and taxation as a joint committee to consider this city's sewerage needs and propose reforms in the disposal system. When It was presented last week, Councilman Boyle protested at once. Alderman W. H. Judd spoke in favor of adoption, reminding that it holds the city to a survey only, and does not require actual construction, and Chairman E. F. Hall Of the board of finance and taxation told the council members that this is one of the few cities in the state in which surveys have not already been 1 started. Councilman Boyle insisted ! that Quigley should be consulted. stating that the mayor has given
 much study to the problem and might have definite ideas as to pro- cedurc. When his recommendation
 was rejected he was excused from | voting.
 Acting Mayor Nair also returned
 to the town clerk, vetoed, the reso- lution creating new fire limits which
 was not presented to the council fin proper parliamentary form by Alder man W. R. Falk, presiding officer at 1 the meeting.

VISITORS ARE BARRED FROM QU|GLEY'S ROOM
Cannot Be Seen for Some Time, Hospital An
 nounces Today

So many persons have attempted to visit Mayor George A. Quigley, who is recovering from bronchial pneumonia at the New Britain Gen. eral hospital, following the an nouncement by Dr. Joseph H. Potts that he would be able to see visitors soon, that physicians and hospital officials today announced that Mir. Quigley will not be able to see His- itors until some indefinite time in the near future.
 While the mayor is recovering gradually and every day shows some slight improvement as well as a slight gain in strength, he is still much too weak to sec visitors or dis cuss business and physicians have decided to continue taking every precaution until he has recovered to such a point that there will be no chances.
 It is likely when visitors arc per mitted in the mayors room that they will be allowed only for limited time each day.

 Complaints

Hartford, April a P-Complete eXoneration of Supt. George C. Erskine, in his administration of the Connecticut reformatory at Cheshire, so far as the charges preferred against him by Edgar White, dis charged official at the school are concerned, was forthcoming today from Julius. J. Hadley, secretary of the state department of public wei fare and instigator of the recent eX- pose of conditions at the Meriden reform school.
 His department has received no official confirmation concerning the delegations of MT. White, Mr. Had ley stated today, in response to in quiry. In the past, however, he has ! investigated complaints made by in mates of the reformatory, similar to those received periodically from every state institution, and has al ways found them unjustified. Tn my inspections at Cheshire, I have always found the plant in ex- cellent condition and have been very favorably impressed with the attitude of the inmates.
