(Meriden Record). Genuine sympathy and regret must be felt for New Britain because of the peculiarly unfortunate features of the disastrous fire bf 'Wednesday eve- ning. It would be bad enough to ex- perience the large property loss with attendant inconvenience, but the idea that the fires were deliberately set by some diabolica] individual, is by far the most disturbing feature of the happening. It all seems part and parcel with the upheaval in the world; the kind of happenings which had been regard- ed as impossibilities. It appears al- most incredible that so many fires could be set without the human fiend or fiends being apprehended, but here again human calculations are upset. The really tangible outstanding les- son of the whole distressing experi- ence is that every community must prepare for the direful something which may never happen. One real- izés anew the advantages of having the same kinds of hydrants, attach- ments, etc., used all over the state. In the event of troublé apparatus sent from other towns would thus be made avallable at once without the trouble of experimenting. More and more communities are realizing that co-operation is necessary for protec- tion and benefit. This co-operation extends beyond the bounds of a city and even inter-state afiliations are be- ‘oultivated to advantage. . route. Town i’ opics The salary ordinance, introduced a Year ago this month by Alderman John Stadler, then a councilman, as interp: by Corporation Counsel J. E. Cooper fneans simply this in effect: If a city employe, under the jurisdic- tion of the council, has no influential friend in that august body and he de- 'sires a salary increase he must make application himself, after receiving the endorsement of his board, and hustle it before the January council meeting. Then the council deliberates upon it carefully for a month before any action is taken. On the other hand, if such an employe has a “pull” political or otherwisé, or has a power- ful friend in the council this friend can properly bring in a request for a salary increase at any time. Ques- tion; What is the value of such an o 08? Seemingly all it does is to limit the season during which some employes may seek financial boosts, while it leaves a loop hole for & brother employe with a “pull” to| ‘have his similar request introduced at time. The corporation coun- sel's ruling is legally correct, but as such it makes the ordinance unfair and prevents it from doing that which it was presumably intended: viz, to have a fixed time to receive and act upon all proposed salary adjustments. e In conngetion with these salary itetns it would appear more expedieht r the council to refer such matters 10" joint miary and ordinance com- bt | tne- m"’h"i-o‘;i isacion s £0! lves applications, tu ‘them over to the salary committee Whieh in due time reports back. If favorably. received the report is re- ferved. again to the ordinance com- mitteq w! drafts the ordinance and reports to ‘the council for acceptance at & later meeting. This plan neces- sithtés thy council handling each item three times, when but twice would be sufficient did a joint committee act in the first place. ce e The estimates of the board of pub- lic works, asking for $227,300, an in- crease of $88,711 over the present fis- cal year will almost surdly be pared down to some extent by the board of finance and taxation. Particularly since the mayor has been exerting his efforts towards the seemingly impossi- ble task of reducing the tax rate. This will not come about this year however, judging from present indi- cations. The safety board has also asked a most - substantial increase, seeking $111,000 for the fire depart- ment glone. ,This is necessary in or- der to provide new apparatus and a new station. Included in the budget for the board of public' works are sev- eral imperative items. One is the lay- ing of permanent pavement on Stan- ley street from Hartford avenue to Al- len street. - All last summer this stretch of main highway between this city and Hertford was the bane of tourists and sn evesore to the city. The laying of similar pavement on Park street from Elm to John streets is also necessary. The old macadam is' worri and with the heavy traffic which goes over this street nothing but permanent paving will serve. Jubilee and Dwight streets should be Trepaired immediately this coming spring = with semi-permanent pave- ment and there is no doubt that ma- cadam {is needed on Park street be- tween Stanley and Fairview streets, of Oak' street, High street, Garden street and Connerton streets. In each in- stance the street named is in a. de- plorable condition and further delay is impossible. The grading eastimates are greatly in excess of a year ago, the largest item in this class being Ellis street where a large quantity of trap rock must be blasted out. It is a needed civic improvement however, for Ellis street is the last connecting link between the eastern and western sections of the city without going to South street, a most roundabout Burritt street too, must ‘cer- tainly be graded this summer, to say nothing of the other streets concern- ing which property owners are justly protesting. The street lighting sys- tem is estimated at $33,000, as ngainst $31,000 for the past yvear. In the in- terim the new system has been estab- lished and the puyblic feels but little doubt that it is two thousand dollars worth better than the old style. o At present The military census is causing a number of heretofore negligent alfens to hustle about and take out their first naturalizsation papers, according to reports from headquarters. When a man, not at all allied with this coun- try, is ready and anxious in such a crisis to take the’ step that will tend to ally him with the Stars and Stripes there is little doubt as to his loyalty. New Britain’s citizens are loyal. The city has a right to feel proud of her cosmopolitan populace. s We all hope for an early spring, but to expect continuously ‘mild weather immediately, or within the next several weeks, is too much. March is always a hard -month. Cold weather, high winds and oftimes heavy snaws are characteristic. The greatest blizzard New England ever saw occurred on March 11 and 12, 1888. So don't get out the light weight clothing or trade the snow shovel for a garden spade, although signs of spring in the form of phy- sical lassitude, bock beer and seeds from appreciative congressmen are now with us. c s There is somewhat of a question as to whether Wednesday or Thursday marked the twenty-ninth anniversary of the great fire which destroyed the North & Judd Manufacturing com- pany, known then universally as “the buckle shop,” as the fire occurred on February 29, 1888 That was a leap vear, but 1917 has but twenty-eight days in February. The fire, however, is remembered. by many and was.a bad one. ! ces 5 The recent convention in this city of the post office clerks and carriers recalls something of the history of the postal rimient here.. ‘It” was only twenty-nine 5 ‘ago postal delivery: was justituted-in' New {if he saw fit.

But ! judging from certain newspaper re-:| ' ports from Hartford, where usually everything is proverbially ' "the = most wonderful in the state, a city™of su- | perlatives, the postal system isgnot as efficient as it is here. 8 e Many believe as does the board of | public works that the establishment of an 8-hour working day for city em- ployes would be a bad precident. | There is no denying that labor is; scarce and this being so, every hour that ‘the men work ‘means so much | more accomplished, and without any | additional hardship on the workers. | It would not be a good-policy in this manufacturing city for the adminis- tration to adopt a scale of working hours contrary to those set down by factories and contractors. e Exaggerated reports .in.' other papers,. from Maine to California, re- garding the “destruction of the city” by “plotters” or ‘“fire bugs” and the “@ory murder” on a “heavily tra- versed highway,” is bringing New Britain before the country in a most unsavory light. Advertising’ ' pays, but not this kind. ’ e March has come, upon us in the guise of the proverbial lamb. We had best be prepared for leontine capers before ‘the first of April. . The brutal and cold-blooded mur- der which was perpetrated in this cily on Thursday evening is the firat real atrocity, planned and executed by a dastardly assassin, since the me- morable Zebris-Gilmanaitis murder which occurred in the Church street parish house on the night of Febru- ary 8. 1914, over - two years ago. Since that time there has been one murder, but in that instance the fatat shot was fired in the heat of passion by 'a drunken and zealous husband. It will be remembered that in the Zebris-Gilmanaitis murder- there was a dearth of tangible clues at first and it was many weeks before the real murderers were discovered -and then only after they had uncovered a Ezw path of blood .in ° Wilmington, New Britain has had its full share of murders in the'past, but available records show that but two were not positively solved, and one which waa.| not solved to the conviction of every- one. he In 1868 & man named Foley was stabbed’ to death at the corner of Myrtle and High streets as he mingled in a crowd watching a political pa- rade. One man was suspected, but he disappeared from town the follow- ing day and was never again located. The assassin was never arrested. The other mysterious murder was that of Eugene J. Bosworth, found murdered, his head battered in..in a room n ‘Ward’s block at noon on August 2, 1904. Several years later a man named Andrews was reported as ha ing died in California after confessing to the ‘Bosworth murder. There was never any proof, however, that he was the guilty man. The Tracy murder in Stanley Quar- ter about thirty years ago is the sec- ond unsolved mystery.: 4 Of other murders there have .been many. During the Civil war days a government agent named Cadwell was alleged to have been murdered by Charles Gilbert between where ‘Woodland and Dwight streets are now located. Gllbert served a. life sen- tence at Wethersfleld for this crime, having died a few® yearsj,ago, main- taining his innocence to the end. On August 17, 1903, one Frank Shurt- liffe killed a Mrs. Frederick Scofield and then committed suicide. There were also the Kibbe murder and the Nolan murder that attracted much attention at the time. More recent- 1y there have occurred the Louis Sax- on murder, the principal having been hanged at Wethersfield; the Ruffino murder, in which an abused wife shot and killed her husband; and the mur- der of Jullus Gresha on Booth street. His assassin is now serving a term in prison. K e Since City Clerk A. L. Thompson's name was left off the justice of peace list and a proposed charter amend- ment to give him ministerial powers was defeated the genial colonel has been unable to perform marriage cer- emonies. In past years the city clerks collected many fees for this service ‘and when the right to do this was taken away many thought it unfalr, while othefs thought the official is al- ready earning emough from the party that elects him and approved the plan to shear him of the justice of the peace power. That throughout the state there seems to be some feeling that the city or town clerk should not have the power to marry couples is evidenced by a bill now pending be- fore the legislature which forbids these officials from uniting people in marriage. The reason given is that an official who makes out tho license and weds the parties named therein has ample opportunity to hi'e news of the marriage from the public until the last possibie moment. In places like New Britain however, this bill might not be effective as its origina- tor would imagine for in such cities there is a deputy -clerk as well as the city clerk. It would not be impossi- ble for the deputy to make out the li- cense, as he does in almost every in- stance, and the clerk to withhold it Evidently this city is the real ploneer in curtailing the clerk’s power. i Y In connection with the city clerk’s office is another bill of interest to New Britain people. It provides for an increase in the fees so that the city is the gainer. As one illustration: un- der the new bill warantee deeds would cost fifty cents to register In- stead of forty cents. It is easy to see that in the course of a year, consider- ing the immense volume of business recorded in this city, the treasury would be materially enrichened. § D) Hearings at the capitol have brought forth the information that Connecti- cut is the only state the , union which, under its compinsation laws, ' . ed medical and to recover unlimit- hospital biils. This phrase was interjected two years ago. by. Senator Klett who believed that & man injuréd at his work was entitled to full medical treatment in return. cs e Seénator Barnes of Norwich has in- troduced a bill into the legislature that would apply to New Britain as much as any other city in the state. It prohibits the manager of any mov- ing picture theater from selling more tickets than he has seats to accommo- date the holders. If this passes it would surely create much trouble as in these days of continuous perform- ances, when people are entering and leaving the theater all the time, it will be mightly hard to keep an accurate account of how mény vacant seats there are. During the past week the legislative committee on military affairs was suddenly confronted with the question of how cities and towns would be pro- tected in case of emergency if, the militia was away on -duty. A most pertinent question and the calling out of the militia here a week ago furd nishes an illustration of one emergen- cy. The committee on military affairs might do well to look to New Britain for one possible solution. The New Britain Rifle club, when fully organ- ized and equipped, might well be ex- pected to serve faithfully as a '“home guard.” It could certainly .enroll many men who have no desire for governmental - military activity, but who would giadly rally to the defense of city and home in the role of a “home guardsman.”” There is no doubt but what such an organisation would be an asset to the community. e s - Among the rare specimens.such as radium, platinum, diamonds, etc., New Britain might include potatoes and of- fice boys. Judging from experiences in this office the latter are now an almost extinct species. Due to the rather ab- normal labor conditions youngsters who heretofor8 would have made bright office boys, with ‘‘great oppor- tunities to begin at the bottom of the ladder and work up” are nonentities. * s Milk dealers have advertised a boost in price to eleven cents per quart, due to the high cost of iiving.” They also offer nine quarts for a dollar. . Even less of an inducement to the . pur- chaser than the advertisement, “col- lars, 1§ cents each, or six tar} ninety ite?® “NEWS Regular morning worship at 10:48 a. m.
