During these days one hears a lot about a business Administration and our opponents have made great claims as to what sort of a busfiness administration they would give. “They overlook the fact that had one of theé best city administra- tions in the state. In 1906 the city and town governments were consoli- dated and during the next four years | I had a lot to do with ‘determining how it should be organized. 1 think that the people will now admit, that it was put on a serious business basis and this same policy has been carried cut during the last four years. “All candiiates of the opposition are personal friends of mine,” said the senator, *but I believe that an untried man cannot give the service that one with a four years' experi- erce can. These facts are known and no figures need be given. There is no little honor in being mayor but it is nothing in proportion to the criti- cims and responsibilities and if this on "in New Lritain for two years more as it has for the last four the citizens will be fortunate indeed.” He then placed the name of Joseph M. Halloran in nomi- nation amidst loud applause. J. T.

He said that the office of town and city clerk is an important one and that the man for that job should be well equalized. He brought forward E. B. Alling’s name as that of the man he thought could best fill that office. Mr. Alling was nominated by the sec- retary’s casting one ballot, as were all other candidates. Troy for Tax Collector, John F. Callahan made a good rominating speech for Willlam F. Troy, candidate for the office of tax collector. He referred to him as a man with every qualification, a man who is a credit to himself and to the democratic party and in short, the most_logical man, ' He was made the nominee on the motion of T. J.

This man is well qualified and has proved himself capable and now we should show ourselves broad- minded enough to overlook party { lines and endorse Hanford L. Curtis for city comptroller.” A few min- utes ‘later Mr. King also brought in the name. of ¥Fred S. Chamberlain for the office of city treasurer, saying that he too, was a capable man and should receive the endorsement of the democrats as well as republicans. Both men were endorsed by the con- vention, T. J. Smith’s name was proposed by P. C. McIntyre to succeed himself as registrar of voters. Mr. Mecln- tyre referred to Mr. Smith as one of | the most competent men that this of- fice ever had. He was nominated. School Board Positions. Positions on the school board list of nominees were given to Dr. J. E. Martin and Harry P. Roche, their names being placed in nomination by Alderman Kerwin and J. M. Brady respectively. Mr. Brady made men- tion of the fact that Mr. Roche’s father had long served the city on the school board, in his remarks. Mr. Roche presented a resolution of grat- itude for past work and best wishes for the future to be sent to Denis Riordan, who will be unable to | serve on the board any longer because of declining health.

Mayor rlalloran was then brought {in by Mctsrs. Leeney snd O‘Connor, deputized to appraige him of his nom- ination. He spoke In acknowledg- ment of the honor as follows: Did Not Seek Office. \ “Your committee has informed me | of your unanimous action in naming me as the choice of this convention for ‘the nomination for the office of mayor. I come before you to voice my appreciation of this expression of confidence, It is the third time I have been called upon to accept such a nomination. It came to me four vears ago without effort on my part, it came to me unsought two years ago unanimously, and it comes to me now in like manner, and is therefore appreciated all the more. “Four years ago, after a training of deven years in the common council, it was declded by our party that I was qualified to fill the office of lines, to the end that the government | ity have been conducted by the pres- | “And we call the attention of all pa- | 'We believe in the present system of | bi-partisan commission form of gov-"* partisan form and make of it a system | with gratification the im- } toward | all with no material increase in our | .{ zens of this community. | that we are below and was glad to have the opportunity of serving the best interests of all | the people of New Britain. “1 began this great service unham- pered by pledges or promlises and with { & determination that the affairs of the city should receive the same care and attention as those of any suc- cessful enterprise. How well I su ceeded was left for the people to de- | ¢lde in the electipn’ of two years ago. | Naturally I was pleased With the ex- pression of approval given at that time. I was satisfied with such ap- proval and had hoped that someone else would be called upon at this time { to accept this nomination, It seems, | however, that you have decided other- wise, and your action shows that you believe that he who serves his | city best serves his party best.

Per Capita Tax Law. “This report gives the municipal government of the city of New. Brit- ain a strong endorsement. The fig- ures show that the per capita taxes and expenses are generally lower in this city than in any other city in Connecticut. The per capita levy of property taxes, the per capita re- ceipts of the municipal government from all sources, and the per capltu expenses for several government de- partments are, in general, lower for New Britain than for the other cities. The per capita levy of taxes for all cities between thirty and fifty thou- sand inhabitants is $11.93 and for New Britain it is $11.58, showing the average. The per capita receipts from all revenues for all those cities is shown to be $19.98 and for New Britain $18.29 showing that New Britain is below the average in revenue. The per capita payments of all government costs for all those cities is $22.41 and for New Britain $18.67. These financial statistics show that the per capita taxes are low and likewise its expenses, It proves that economy and efficiency have been the watch- words of the ‘past four years. All should certainly be proud of the high pvlace taken by New Britain among the cities of our state and I feel pleased in having a part in the gov- ernment that made such a splendid record.

Gentlemen, you have nominated me. I e and ask You in return to elect me." Is Alling’s Third Try. E. B. Alling was also called upon to make a few remarks and in be- ginning he said that this is the third time that the democratic party has seen fit to honor him with a nomi- nation. In 1912 he was nominated for representative and defeated; in 1913 he was named for city clerk and “buried so deeply that some of my republican friends told me that I would never be heard of again,” sald the nominee, “and now this time. I now accept the nomi- ration and I feel grateful, especially since it was so, unanimous. I hope to be elected city clerk of New Brit- ain. The qualifications are honesty, ability and efficlency and I trust I hold them and that you believe I do. “It is now incumbent upon you to go to the polls and.do all you can to secure the election of all the dem- ocratic ticket—make a clean sweep. ‘With all the political squabbles of our opponents I think that the time is right for a clean sweep in this city.” He then referred to the work of Pres- ident Wilson, Governor Baldwin and Mayor Halloran in the highest words of praise and challenged the repub- licans to find a man who could do more in their respective positions than has been done.
