Gardner \ In city meeting and by a small ma- ,mu it was vo to accept the leg- tive act which authorized the city of* New London to pay ome-half the cost of new sidew: the property owners to pay the balance. it has been the custom fov property wners to build sidewalks at their own ‘when ordered by vote of the court of common council, but this or- dinance has mot been complied with of late years, especially since the city id for new walks in Bank, Main and ‘ashington streets, where the streets bave been paved with vitrified brick, This unauthorized action on the part of the city authorities has had the re sult of general negligence in the mat- ter of sidewalks and New London has become noted for poor sidewalks. - Even bgfore this alleged favoritism was shown property owners in the streets named, an opinion prevailed that the council could not compel citi- zens to lay sidewalks and many acted on that hasis, and without prosecution, although the sidewalks orders were ignored. Governor Waller was opposed to the adoption of the special act giving the cit- authority to assume half the ex- pense of the sidewalks, and Alexander J. Campbell, president of the New Lon- don Business Men’s association, which favored the act in committee, was in favor of postponing action for at Jea: two months. Neither of these gentle- men mwere at the city meeting therefore their views were not expl ed, except in advance through newspapers. Had the governor beep there and addressed the meeting, it 1s pebbles tu boulders that the legislative aet would have been rejected, for his force and eloquence of argument would have wiped out the small majority vote that carried the measure through the city meeting. the Ex-Mayor George F. Tinker, who was opposed to the acceptance of th amendment, was also absens from the city meeting. having gone to his ma- tive New Hampsihre towh to help cel- ebrate Old Home day. He has since argued, through the newspapers, that the action taken was ill advised and impractical, as the building of side- walks is a burden that could not be taken without & material increase in taxation, and that would be a hard- ship that would be unbearable to many who have now heavily mortgaged homes. Now that the city meeting has been held and the amendment to the city charter accepted, there are many who are. of opinjon ‘that were the same matter to be voted upon again the re- sult wouid be different. It is set forth that the original ordinance relative to sidewalks. which has not been repeal- ed, will fill all thé requirements if properly enforced. when that time comes to. make appropriation for the building of sidewalks to carry the amendment into effect there will be strong opposition and from present in- dications no appropriation will made for that purpose. The taking over of the sidewalks by the city, to be cared for as are the streets, is not a new idea. It was the pet scheme of the late Col. William H. | Bentley, who served many terms in-the court of common council. Almost ev- council meeting Colonel Bentley took occasion to advocate the scheme of the city building and caring for the side- walks, not one-half, but the whole hog or_none. While he strongly advocated the measure, the gentleman never got So far as to figure, the probable cost nor what it ‘meant to the taxpayers. It was argued then, and it is argued now, that the enforcement of the present sidewalk ordinance will certainly result in improvine the deplorable condition of the sidewalks of New London. There is a gang of youna toughs over in East New London that ought to be reformed or caged. and perhaps the better wav would be to cage them first and then begin the difficult work of reform. This gang or its predece: gor has been in existence for man vears, althouzh there is ever gradual change in membership, mere boys be- ing trained as the older ones griduate into faster company. Their depreda- tions are almost of continuous annoy ance to the police, and as a rule they the clutches of the law.

They assaulted and held him up, but did not succeed in Tobbing him, for he did not havc his watch with him, and his cash was in the inside pocket of his vest. It is members of this same gang who congregate in the smoking room of the railway station on Sunday evenings, especially in the winter time, when it is too cold for them to be in the open, and when they are driven from their card-playing haunts by the presence of men who are away from their homes by day but who are on hand at night to drive the young hoodlums from premises that they invade.

Years ago Thomas Fitch was a leader in all that went to upbuild New London. He was engaged in the whale fishery and mercantile business and ever active in city affairs. No matter of blg im- portance would be possible unless Thomas Fitch was the captain or first | lieutenant of the undertaking. “He saw a great future for the North- west section of the city as a place for fine residences and he invested largely in property there, opening up several streets and improving the roadways. At one time he owned the whole square just next Williams park, which is now covered with fine residences on the four streets, and several other . o where to: find rest, recreation and en- Hirmelf Iarge.

New London has, by reason of its excellent loca- tion, long ago gained a reputation as a summer resort, but assummer resort without an ideal summer hotel is 1tke unto the old reference made to the play. of Hamlet with the principal character eliminated.
