Officials of the Waterbury Coun- cil of Boy Scouts attended the min strel show presented last night in St Johns parish house by Troop l and were introduced by Harold F.

The magnitude and importance of the insurance business may be judged in various ways. Annual statements reveal the financial as- poets of the industry and compila- tions of claims paid indicate the tremendous stabilizing power of in- surance. But at an insurance con- vention one gets a glimpse of the personality of the profession. It is then that one appreciates the caliber of the men who have made insurance their life work.
 Connecticut, with it's many insur- ance companies, is naturally ''in- surance- minded''. The annual Con- necticut insurance day, therefore, attracts a large number of dele- gates and a choice group of speak, CTS. This years occasion will be no exception, for an excellent pro- gram has been arranged, and from all present indications, the attend- ance will be as large, if. not larger. than any previous similar gather ing. Although the meeting Is plan- ned primarily for the education, in- spiration and better acquaintance of Connecticut insurance agents. brokers, field men and company officials the public will benefit in- directly through the increased eff ficiency and still higher ideals ac- tuating those to whom the thous- ands of Connectucut policy holders look for insurance advice, protec- ton and service.
 Onc-Day Convention
 This. the. eighth such event, will be held at Hartford this week Thursday at the Aetna Life Insur- ance company building on Farm ington avenue. It, will be, as the name indicates, a one-day conven- ton, registration being scheduled for 9:30 with adjournment prompt ly at 5:30. Opportunity will be af- forded the delegates to inspect the Aetna building before the opening session which will be called ot orr der by General Chairman George E. Turner at II a. m.
 Following MT Turner's words of welcome. Hon Howard P. Durham, insurance commissioner of the state of Connecticut will address the gathering.

Commissioner Beecher Makes Suggestion Before Works Board and Mayor Will Consider Legality in Opinion From Corporation COunsel's Office

Property owners who fail to comply with the. ordinance reQuir- ing them to keep their sidewalks cleared of snow and ice and saIided may look out their front windows some day soon and see a crew of industrious men doing the job for them. But-@they will get bill for the work from the city street de- pertinent besides. being prosecuted for not meeting the requirements of the ordinance and pay q second bin to the city court treasury.
 Ali this ig possible if sugges- tion made last night at the meeting of the board of works by Cbmmis- sioner William Beecher is carried out. The board referred the matter to Mayor Frank Hayes who will study the legality of the suggested procedure with Corporation Coun- sci Charles S. O'Connor.
 Commissioner Beecher said that while there is an ordinance cover ing the clearing of walks 1t is not lived up to. He said that the police do their best but yet are unable to reach all delinquents. The plan of having the street department do the job would be best, he said, in cases of delinquents.

To-day, in view of last nights snow storm, 1t was suggested by citizens that the unemployed forces be used to shovel the sidewalks throughout the city free of charge to the property owners in view of the fact that they are being sup ported on funds raised among the public.
 It was pointed out that most householders clear their sidewalks immediately after storms but there are many instances where old peo- pie are unable to do the job and feel too greatly financially einbar- rassed to hire somebody to do 1t for them. A note could be made of such cases, it is felt, and unem- ployed men used to aid these peo-- pie. Another instance was pointed ing and have long lengths of side walks to clean are forced to let the job of shoveling go until night time. Unemployed forces could be utilized in such instances, also.
 The board was informed by .As- sistan City Engineer Charles Root that the surface water in the vicinity of 444 South Leonard street is due to the fact that prop erty owners have not connected their roof drains with the storm water sewer in the street. Hubs were left In the sewer when 1t was laid to allow such connections. he said. The street department was instructed to do all possible to have the property owners connect with the storm sewer.
 Attorney T. c. Hutchinson ap- peared before the board with a petition that water bills on the property at 329-331 North Main street for 1926-27-2S be abated. They amount to about $500. He in- sists the bills were paid by the Connecticut Bond and Mortgage Company and Dr A. F. O'Leary, former owners of the building. He cannot produce any receipts, how ever. Mayor Hayes said he could not see how the bills could be abated unless the receipts are pro- duced. However, the. matter was referred to the corporation coun- sel.

At the Royal Opera house in Rome, formerly known as the Cos tanzi, there was given recently an. elaborate revival of "L'Amico Fritz" with the composer, Mascagni, con- ducting. For the leading role Mascagni selected Dino Borgioli, the famous Italian tenor, who had been heard previously that year In the same house in "Adriana La- couvreur" and in "Trayiata" to- gether with Mnzio. At tho con- clusion of the performance the composer brought the singer to the footlights and in an enthusiastic and eloquent speech to the cheer ing audience he hailed Borgioli as "the complete tenor
 When Dino Borgioli was last in Spain he, sang in Pamplona, the birthplace of the great Gayarre, the Spanish tenor. There he was heard in "La Favorita." an opera that had not been given there since the death of the beloved Gayarre. His success was so overwhelming that the Spaniards since then speak of Bor- gioli as the "Gayarre of to-day"
