NOMINATING COUNTY COMMIS- SIONERS. ‘The inexpediency of the present method of selecting county commis- sloners was again manifested yester- day at the capitol when the New Ha- ven coutny delegates spent nearly four cast sixty-one ballots and making the hours at it, then adjourned without necessary selections. Two nominations were made but the third man is still in doubt, there being five candidates for the place. The terms of two expire on October 1 of this year and the third on the third Wednesday of the present general assembly, the present occupant having been appointed by Governor Baldwin to fill a vacancy. This is the place which dispute. During recent years the election of county commissioners has been at- tended by much difficulty and the whole question of county government been gradually drifting of unpopularity, issuance of liquor no place has it been strongly than Haven county. A county ership has always been much sought after and it has been suggested that these officials should be ("Qcto(l by the people instead of being chosen by a county caucus and then elected by the legislature. The democrats have favored popular elections and twenty odd ago some of the representatives of that to have law passed to that The old method still ever, and the old form of caucus nominec is now in has into a condition over the and in usually llcenses, more manifested in New commission- back years party sought effect. how- a stand wrangling still New Haven county will week and there over the " vails. caucus again next will be much buttonheling between now then. and An 00 salary the shell more for a appropriation of 3§ for enginecr fish motor beat for as wsked $3. mem- the The Repre- This ons that Gover It not.ask a an for commission and the bers is the newest t(hing in economy pitol. bill sentative program at the c: introduced by of the commi has been Perry New Haven. s one of Baldwin hed. did music when it goes out nor wants abo is a wonder the commission for money for sailing. New London Harbor. (Norwich Bulletin.) In the trylng out of the democratic thcories the necessity of curtailing expenses has been realized. Notwith- anding the imposition of two nation- al taxes from which no one cscapes the resources are at a ve low ebb. s income has been cut so that despite the forcing of the people to make up a large part of it there still promises to be a shortage. Thus there can be no real surprise in the fact that the effort in behalf of the improvements in New London and Bridgeport harbors failed. The real cause for astonishment was that Con- gressman Donovan was so cencerned over the success of the Rridgeport project that he considered it advisable to attempt to belittle the appropria- tion for the eastern cnd of the state by referring to New London as the “harbor of the idle rich.” Congressman Donovan might be ex- pected to work zealously for his own ict, but it a poor representa- the Nutmeg state sends to Washington who attempts to use | whatever influence he ma have st other worthy projects in his state.
