Our stock of Whiskles comprises all A short talk by Gilbert S. Raymond upon Municipal Affairs into which he compressed much useful information in an interesting way, was the entertaining feature which follow— ed the special club meeting of Open House Thursday evening at their rooms on Main street. After a short business meeting, which was adjourned for a week because of the small attendance, President N. P. Carey introduced Mr. Raymond as the speaker, also an- nouncing that Principal Tirrell of the Academy would speak at the January meeting upon Athletic Sports. Fine Water Privileges. Mr. Raymond, was one e ies incorporated 125 years ago by the state legislature, and he proposed to speak of certain things which made it attractive, other things that were disadvantages ord ¢ GILBERT S. RAYMOND. gest some remedies’ On the side of advantages were, first, the admirable water privileges furnishing power. It was these that first attracted the set- tlers from Say\ymoli, where they had to get along with windmills for power to grind their grain., The recent ex- tension of trolley lines had made this a great trolley center, in fact, the largest in- eastern Connecticut, and this was a considerable factor in our favor. Norwich was a banking center as well, having seven strong financial institutions, the second largest sav- ings bank in the state, and there were twenty-five millions on deposit in Nor- wich banks. A big farming country behind Norwich contributed to the im- portance of its financial institutions, and since the failure of a Willimantic bank some years ago many people from that city now do their banking in Norwich. The Thames river, with a twelve foot channel, was anothar impor-’ tant asset, which was not half used for the benefit of the city, largely bé- cause the ownership of the river banks Cilbert <.

The tric power available, coming from the plant thirteen miles away on the Shetucket river, is likewise a big point, to the city’s advantage. . Some Disadvantages. Among the disadvantages he men- tioned first the antiquated form of city gevernment, of which an instance of wi is shown in the fact that the town | takes care of the bridges, but the city looks after the streets up. to the bridges. Places on the Corning road pay a city tax, but in-Norwich Town above the hospital only a town tax is paid. The absurdity and inequality of both of these conditions is manifest. Then there is a lack of interest and n indifference about municipal affairs d the more progressive cities of the state have done away with a city and town government. Under this plan here are within the limits of the town ¢ Norwich fourteen distinet municipal nizations, eomprising town, eity :d school governments. There is no ecessity for all of thesc. The charity ystem _is antiquated, for the select- nen of the town look after the poor. \uch of the bookkeeping is also be- “ind the times, and in the city gov- .rnment it is often hard for the cltizen to locate responsibility in the city af- tairs. There is a net debt of a little sver a million dollars, but the city has to show for it the reserveir and water department, which pays an annual in- me of $40,000, and there is the elec- | tri¢ light-and gas department, which is a revenue producer for the city at the me. time as reducing the price of as and electricity. The oldgway of ranting the franchises for§ trolley racks, telephone and telegraph wires, had been a great loss to the city, as they were given years ago, when they were considered of very little value. whereas they should be paid for and only granted for a term of years. | Remedi Some of these things could be reme- died by haying a central purchasing agent for all the city's needs, such as the coal supply for fire department, schools, almshouse, town hall, thereby getting better prices for all things to be bought. Better municipal adminis- tration could also be secured and the city put upon a better business basis by following the German plan of hiring the mayor of a city for a term o years and making him the respensibl man in authority. Mr. Raymond said this worked finely in the German cities. Berlin had hired its mayor from the smaller city of Breslau when they saw what a capable mayor he had made in Breslau. , There. were three ways, Mr. Ray- mond said in’conclusion, of getting at these desirable changes, and it was over which one to choose that the split usually came in @iscussing this sub- ject. The citymight get a new char- ter, there might be the consolidation of the town and city governments, or it might be by the commission plan. He explained briefly the main points of difference in each of these. YOUNG PEOPLE’S RALLY AT SECOND CHURCH.
