Modison-Americo'S Constitution Maker

THE current year brings back \ the story of James Madison with particular significance; 1889 marks the l50th anniversary of the setting up of the United States government and it was Madison who framed the Constitution which provided that government.
 No colorful figure was this dry little man, son of Virginia plant CT. He led no armies in the Revo- lution, he was no public idol. Yet he carried tremendous influence. He hated war but he served the cause we'll in Congress and when the struggle was all over he served the country we'll again, warning it against the flood of useless paper money that was threatening.
 Then came the day of reckon ing-the day to establish the new government on lasting basis. Madison was appointed to conn., mittee to draft a national consti- tuition. It was a staggering as- signment because at that hour the condition of the colonies was little short of anarchial. Only the most intelligent statesmanship could weld the colonies together.
 James Madison provided that statesmanship. With rare legal skill he drafted the outline of the Constitution which has lasted 150 years and still stands as one of the great documents of all time. With equal brilliance, Madison fought for its adoption and won. So the Constitution remains Madison's greatest monument.
 Madison, fourth President, is shown above on U. s. stamp of the issue of 1894, $2 sapphire blue, enlarged.

sewer. On the other hand, a letter from Dr. Edward J. Godfrey, city health officer, was read in which it was pointed out that an in- sanitary condition obtains and that cesspools are emptying into brook in the region.
 Supt. Fleming recommended that F. J. Delaney seek permission of adjoining property owners on Oak vile avenue to install drains across property to eliminate flooding of his land.
 Corporation Counsel Charles s. O'Connor informed the board that the city would not be liable for wa- ter damage on Plank road if a pro- posed grading project between Knoll street and Englewood avenue is not made. The board of fi- nance sent word that the $4,50O sought for this grading is not avail- able.
 On recommendation of Dr. God- frey the board voted to have the city engineer attempt to have a sewer construction on Harrington avenue considered as WPA pro- ject. The city health officer de- clared that there "is urgent need" for a sewer on the street.
 The superintendent of water and the water committee will consider what to do about supplying water to several residents of Woodtick road whose properties actually are in the town of Wolcott. The ques- tion has been moot since the time it was reported that some of the bills for supplying water have not been paid and that the city had no recourse in the matter. The board considered shutting off the water after the corporation counsel had informed the commissioners that the city could not legally supply the wa ter unless proper contracts were drawn.

Willow Street Houses
 Endangered By Wall
City Takes Immediate Action on Repairs Following Warning From City Engineer; WPA Projects Favored

Danger that wall at the rear of 386 Willow street, on property talk en over by the city, might fall at any time was communicated to the board of public works last night by City Engineer Charles A. Root. The board took immediate action, in- structing Supt. of Streets Thomas J. Fleming to prepare an estimate of the cost of both temporary and permanent repairs for submission to the board of finance at the meeting tomorrow.
 Houses Menaced
 Cost of permanent repairs, for which money will be sought, was es- timated at between $5,000 and $6,- 900 by Assistant City Engineer Henry Whitlock. But the board of works was warned that the walls condition is such that it is men, acing houses and persons living on the lower level to the rear of Will low street and that the situation constitutes an emergency.
 Commissioner Joseph H. Lawlor remarked that the city would be li- able for any damages and the com missioners concurred that swift &C., tion must be taken. The wall is nearly 30 feet high at one point and about IS feet from houses on the level to the rear of Willow street A communication urging attention to the matter was received from one resident of the area affected by the walls condition.
 A delegation of 18 residents of Delaware avenue appeared before the board last night to protest lay ing of a sewer there. The board agreed to notify William E. Ken- nedy, supervisor of WPA projects to hold up start of the work until a hearing can be held.
 Headed by R. L. Wood, the dele gation members said that they rep resented all property on Delaware avenue and all were opposed to the

The city, he said, made connection to the fifth lot, which was bought merely to straighten out boundaries, and on which building is not planned. The board voted to abate the assessment until such time as there is build ing on the lot.
 Commissioner Charles c. DreheY recommended that a WPA project be sought for enclosing a brook near Hawkins street and the street department was asked to see what could be done about retaining wall on the Naugatuck river, opposite Riverside cemetery.
 WPA Project
 Ralph Tremaglio, building concern executive, asked the board to in. stall water connections on Highland avenue from Nichols drive to Bristo. street and to see about Q layout of the section. It was reported thai the water main is under consider. ation as WPA project and re- port on this phase of the matter was required by the board.
 w. Harry Byrnes of Oakville, told the board that the city has laid a new auxiliary water main through 85 feet of his property. It was held that the city's construction was on the trolley right of way but the matter was referred to the corpora tion counsel.
