Aldermen Pass Vote For Official Action
 In Local Situation
AppOintees to Receive Complaints From Aggrieved Tenants s-LOcal Union Demands Copies of City
 Charter, Ordinances

the statement by Mir. Driscoll that a reporter for morning paper had not quoted the corporation counsel because "he had requested him not to-" This, 1t turned out, was un- dertaken by the reporter in the be- lief that, while the rent situation was in hands of a committee unable to act arbitrarily in the struggle" between landlord and tenant, the union members in the protest would best be protected from possible raising of rents pending settlement of the situation by keeping from the landlords the inability of the aldermanic committee to act" So the speakers elaborated the theme of what the board might and might not do.
 Then the union speaker urged that the confusion on election night regarding the mistaken belief that the moderator from the first dis- trict should act as general modera- tor" meant that copies oe the char ter and ordinances should be avail able for public inspection ito set- tie such matters"
 Costly Move
 TNe alderman, after the meeting, admitted that no revision of the charter and ordinances had been made for some time, about six years, in fact, but pointed to the labor and cost of the undertaking. It was predicted that weeks of work would be necessary and that the cost would exceed $i,000 for that item alone.
 Further matters attended by the board included:
 Request of the Loew's Poll theater for e change in the sign ordinance to permit 1t to hang Q sign nine feet high in front of the theater was granted and the ordinance change. The limit is 6 Ia feet in height but was changed with respect to theaters to allow signs nine feet in height.
 The board voted to authorize the mayor to enter into an agreement with the state highway department to have the $46,0oo due the city for state aid for highways to be expended for paving Baldwin street from the Naueatuck road to Pearl Lake Road. The state highway de- partment stated that this job prob- ably will be let as one contract for paving the Naugatuck road (Route 8,
 Plumbing Ordinance
 The board referred to Q committee consisting of Aldermen 0uilfoile, Goldberg and Loeffler Q request from the Master Plumbers Association for Q change In the plumbing ordinance.
 On recommendation of the land committee 1t ordered sold the following properties taken over by the city for payment of taxes:

Ave or more persons to investigate the rent situation and consider any complaints.
 Copies of Charter
 Thus, the union members who had thronged to the meeting found their protest disposed to committee and their leader, J. J. Driscoll, sec- retary of the organization, then asked to be heard about another matter. He asked that the board have copies of the charter and ordi- nances printed and ready for in- snection, saying that Q former hear irg had developed the apparent fact that "Corporaion Counsel Charles s. O'Connor was of tho opinion that the board of aldermen did not have the right to subpoena witnesses and conduct an investigation into the rNnt situation"
 This drawing of the corporation counsel into c situation where he was exposed to ridicule by the union members caused protest of the aldermen and Alderman George R. Guilfoile explained to the union members that the city counsellor had not made such Q statement.
 "He said that the aldermanic committee did not have such rights, he told the brass workers. "The board is familiar with it's preroga- tive which includes right to call witnesses and so forth"

removing Of $l1OO00 for street lighting from the Street Depart ment to the Department of Public Works.
 Grand List Increase
 Increase of two million dollars in the grand list to 67,000000 will provide revenue slightly exceeding the enlarged appropriations for pay ment of interest and bond redemp- ton, or about $S0,000 more than was allotted for this purpose last year. Reduction of departmental esti- mates, however, has nothing to do with Mayor Frank Hayes proposed merging and elimination of various departments and the budget was not devised with any of this program 0 consideration, Executive Secre- tary Thomas P. Kelly remarked.
 Any savings effected by the Mayors reorganization program will be turned back into the treas ury," he explained,
 Salaries Intact
 No elimination of employees by re- duced estimates of the departments, understood to be nearly $776,000, is shown In the budget proposal, how ever, as the salaries stand aS fixed charges and remain materially the same as last years. This, Of course, has no bearing on what may result from the mayors plan !nasmueh as any salary sovings after adoption Of the budget could be transferred to other expense accounts ot the oe- partments involved.
 The figures for the departments will not be made public until the special meeting of the aldermen, but 1t is understood that there is an increase in the appropriation allot- ted the Fire Department to include purchase of new apparatus and the approximate $5,000 increase In the police departments maintenance, t was remarked.
 Reductions
 Although the 1887 revenue to the city included voluntary salary cuts of employees amounting to $l70,000, no perceptible enlargementS of de- partmental appropriations are seen in the 1888 budget to take up this loss Expensse estimated by school, health, water and other lesser de- partments have been cut to figures about par with allotmentS allowed for 1887, 1t Is understood.
 More than half of the reduction in tho estimate of tho Street Depart ment for 1888 made by the finance board, amounting to about $2o0, ,ooO, Is the item of street lighting which the Street Department has main- tained for some time should come under the department of public works. This change Is included hi tho new budget arrangement.
 Cut xpccted
 Although about Q $60,0o0 cut iS anticipated In the final figures for tho Department of Education, the salary charges remain at about the 1887 figure, thus evldencing no plan for immediate reduction in per-

Presidents Committee Wants
Civil Service Commission Discarded

Both the Democratic and Republi-
can parties were pledged to such
a reform in their 1886 platforms
1t was the first time, however
that abolition of the Civil Service
commission has been called 1oi
and one of the few times the
agency has been sharply criticlz-
ed as archaic.
The report blames the commits
sion for the infrequency of Presi-
dental recommendations for per-
sonnet legislation and adds:
"The Civil Service rules have
not been given thorough revision
since 1908 and do not appear to
meet the need for a comprehen-
sive and modern administrative
code relating to personnel mat
tiers.
an general, the commission is
often criticized, and apparently
with some merit; for an excessive
delays in the performance OF even
its most important functions, for
lace of sufficient initiative in
meeting new problems, and for
failure to comprehend and to give
adequate assistance in meeting
many of the important needs of
the operating services in connec-
ton with personnel administra-
tion."
The commission, the report con-
tinued, has shown relatively lit
tie tendency" to interest itself in
the construvtice and develop
mental activities of an adequate
central personnel agency.
