Bangs Gavel and Rules as Fourth Warder Out of Order for Trying to Tack Amendment On ResOlu- ton Already Passed - S15O,OOO Sewer Bonds Approved.

Mayor Quigley found it necessary to rebuke Alderman J. Gustave Johnson at the special meeting of the common council last night, when the alderman insisted on appealing to the corporation counsel for an opinion on a resolution. T am the presiding officer here and I propose to act as such-not the corporation counsel" the mayor declared with emphasis.
 The tilt was the high point of the meeting and came during the routine of authorizing the issuance of S100,000 street fund notes to provide work on the streets for the unemployed. The issue was passed and then Aldermen Johnson, Falk and Mlynarski and others introduced a resolution requesting the board ot public works to omit Steele street, between Victoria road and Wooster street, also Slater road between Os- good avenue and Clinton streets from the tentative program for grading, and add State street, Cabot street, Judd avenue and Market street.
 Resolution Not In Order
 Councilman W. D. Boyle asked if the resolution was in order and Mayor Quigley said it should have hn no,rnrn in Inc form of an amendment to the s1OO,o00 resolution. He assured the council that regardless of written resolu- tion, the board of public works in all probability would be willing to accede to a request by council mem bers, because the streets mentioned in the program had been only tentatively selected.
 Alderman Mlynarski replied that he had often requested the public works department 10 make certain improvements and he had learned through experience that council members do not always get what they want from the board. Alder man Johnson wanted to have the matter considered in the form of an amendment but Mayor Quigley replied that it could not be so con- sidered in view of the fact that the S1N0,000 resolution had already been passed.
 Mayor and Johnson Tilt
 Alderman Johnson. being ruled out of order, appealed to the cor peration counsel for an opinion but the mayor banged the gavel and or dered the council to proceed with other business. The alderman re- mained standing, however, and asked that he be accorded the same privilege that was given the councilman from the sixth.' The mayor assured him that he could have the privilege, and the alder man asked if he might address the body. After this other business has been disposed off, the mayor told him.
 Instead of addressing the council, however, Alderman Johnson pre- scented petition asking that the streets he and Alderman Mlynarski and others wanted repaired, be at tended to. The matter was referred to the board of public works with out comment and Alderman Johnson did not address the council.
 Action Means Special Tax
 The councils action in voting the s1o0.000 street fund note issue brings to a conclusion another step towards providing money for street work. Several difficulties threaten ed to upset the program during the past few weeks, legal technicalities which were unforeseen having thrust themselves in the way, and meanwhile the funds of the street department were dwindling. The board of finance and taxation will sell the city's notes to the Savings Bank of New Britain and the loan will be paid back at the rate of $2o,000 a year, this amount to be raised by Q special tax annually for five years
 To Clarify Coming Ordinance
 The council also voted to approve a sewer bond issue of $150, 900 and acted to clarify the zoning ordi- nance by specifying that public hearings on zone changes must be held by the board of adjustment. The proposed amendment was re- ferred to the board of adjustment and if it meets with approval, it will come back to the council at a later meeting for final action. Sev eral petitions for zoning changes were referred to the board of ad justment for hearings, including the West Main street and sherman court matter and the Burritt and Myrtle street situation, both of which were disposed of by the board Of adjustment recently. They must be taken up again, however, because the required 15 days notice of hear ing was not given.
 While the zoning matters were
