During the term of Mayor Landers he was chosen a mem- ber of the charity department, and later served as its superintendent.

Faithful and Obliging. The duties of the probation officer are of a difficult nature due to the class of persons that he ccmes in contact with daily. In this respect it may be said that Mr. Johnson, being the pos- sessor of a pleasing disposition, has won the respect and esteem of many a man, woman and child who, after listening to his kind words of en- couragement, took his advice and went Mr. and Mrs. T.

To Take Vacation.” In a talk with a Herald man today Mr, Johnson said that it was not un- til a year ago that he realized that he was getting old. The duties of the cfice are of a nature that require con- siderable walking ang as he is suffer- | ing from a chronic ailment which walking aggravates, he feels that he should retire. In speaking of his term as proba- tion officer Mr. Johnson pays a tribute tc judges and police officers for the many acts of kindness they have be- stowed upon him from time to time. He is particularly thankrul to Judge Meskill, who has treated him excel- lently. T | | | | ) The New Officer, Bdward C. Connelley, the new officer, is probably the best adapted man in the city to fill the vacancy caused by Mr. Johnsosn's resignation. He is connected with the charity de- partment as its investigator, He is a native of Dubdiin, Ireland, born in 1870. He worked for a num- ber of years as a bookkeeper ‘in a hardware and supply store in his netive ¢ity and in 1896 he arrived in America and took up his residence in Waterbury. He remained in the Brass city for three yeers and tnence moved to this city. He was employed in the Corbin Screw corporation and Russell & Erwin’s factories and during this {ime he made the acquaintance of Mr. Johnson. 'The two became fast friends and when Mr, Johnson was chosen super- intendent of the charity department | he named Mr. Connelley as his inves- tigator. ‘When Mr. Johnson resigned as superintendent and A.J. Hart was named, he at once Teappointed Mr. Connelley. Mr. Connelley is a prominent mem- ber of the First Baptist church, in which he takes an active interest. He is marrjed and, with his wife and two children, resides on Black Rock Ave. He is & -prominent member of 'several traternal organizations, namely: Washington L.
