Miss Dorothy Maynor, American soprano, opened the Fine Arts Ser ies sponsored by the Mattatuck Musical Art Society last night at the Women's Club auditorium. The event was one of the most noted musical events in the city'S musical and civic history. The subscription for her concert and following ones which is entirely sold out brought a filled house and additional rows were added for those who wished to hear the gifted singer. Miss Maynor, who has been heralded fol almost two years as musical find as possessing a voice of incredible quality and extraordinary musician ship, quite came up to all expecta- tions last night and was greeted with enthusiasm. Arpad Sandor who was at the piano, gave, with her, distinguished performance and the result was brilliant pre- sentation by Miss Maynor.
 Rapid Rise
 Miss Maynor,s rise to fame has been rapid. Not only is her voice one to marvel at but she is a real musician, every phrase rounded out every tone carefully placed. She is dramatic in some of her songs, and scared to great heights in Bach Handel, Schubert, Grieg. and in the spiritual arrangements. She selected last night groups of songs which made it possible to judge hel voice from many angles; her limit less talent which she has used wisely results in near perfection in vocal performance.
 She sang for her first offering "Now Let Every Tongue Adore Thee!", by P. Nicolai (harmoniza- tion by J. s. Bach), and then fol- lowed with another Bach air, from the cantata, T Was In Deep Sor- row.. This second began and closed with a graceful piano pas sage; and Miss Maynor ended this first group with Handel's % Had I Jubal's Tyre" in which she sang the florid passages with ease, clear ness, and remarkable SmoothneSs and agility.
 In her Beethoven and Schubert group Miss Maynor gave a per formance to be remembered. "Ade- laide" was triumph and prolonged applause followed this song. Also of Beethoven's she sang Der Russ. Her two Schubert songs were a iov tn the musicians present and to those who appreciate the fine art of singing. She gave "Standchen" and "Ungeduld" with such freedom that one wished it were possible to hear a Schubert program. Her German was notice ably good, and in her next group of three songs she likewise astounded with her easy and natural French Here she sang three varying types of song, the first La Procession by Franck had a grandness of theme; her second, "Adieu de l'hotesse arebienne" by Bizet was showy and brilliant, and her third Air de Lia from Deubssys "LEnfant Prodigue", impression istic, and in which she did some beautiful work with her high pia- nissimo tones. Throughout her per- formance this was impressed on the listener, the art with which she approached the high pianissimo notes, or for that matter her full voice tones which might have been

construction will be at least 25 per cent more in 194l. It's the tax payers who'll pay. The same thing is true of the paving of Bank street and South Main street. The money is there, has been there, but noth- ing has been done. Now next year this work will cost whole lot more"
 "At this boards first meeting of the year, moved that we ask the Board of Works the status of the Baldwin Street bridge. They said it was politics and that I was bag of wind. Then in February they said the engineers plans for the bridge were progressing. In the summer we were told that the plans were all finished. Now we learn from the papers that there won't be any new bridge this year. We have the highest paid Engineering Btu reau in the state but it's certainly inefficient.
 Motion Tabled
 Alderman Kingston moved for the appointment of committee to .in- vestigate the delay, but Alderman Patrick Shea, Democratic majority leader, quickly moved that the mo- tion be tabled. The tabling motion was carried.
 Alderman Walker said he had been asking for months about plans for days off for firemen but hadn't re- ceived any information. Alderman Shea, a member of the fire board, answered that it was question for the latter board to consider first,
 The board received report from the Engineering Bureau, as request ed several months ago, stating that repairs to nine city bridges will cost an estimated total of $28,5l7.

 Alderman Walker also criticized the Fire Boards delay in drawing ip specific program for time off tor members of the Fire Department.
 Signs Posted
 nThe only man who said the Baldwin Street bridge is safe is City Engineering Charles A. Root, said Alderman Walker. That bridge is just as dangerous as it was last January. If it's safe why has the superintendent of streets posted signs at each end limiting the loads? It's highly dangerous whenever busses go over the bridge. It may be funny to the Board of Works but 1t wouldn't be if something happened" ,"
