At the crossing mear Shewville on Friday evening about 7 o'clock Fred D. Larkham met with & bad accident, when his team was st by a Nor- wich & Westerly car, the crew of which were Motorman Smith and Conductor McGuire, When Mr. Larkham was picked up it was found that he was badly injured, and he was taken to the company's power house at Hallville, where Dr. Donohue was called and bandeged up the wounds temporarily and ordered him sent to the Backus hoespital. He was brought here at 9 o'clock and taken to the institution.

Road—New London North- ern Bond Now that the March dividends are drawing near at hand, investors in the bonds of the Norwich and Westerly railroad look longingly for some change in that company’s affairs o that they may be getting something on thelr bonds, says the New Haven Un- fon. These bonds were defaulted six ‘months ago and there will be no divi- dend coming on the first of March. It i8 estimated that of this issue of $750,~ 000 in bonds, about $200,000 are held In New Haven. It was expected some agreement would have been made by this time whereby something would be realized to investors, There is a plan to scale down the bonds. It is estimated this scaling down will be about 50 per cent, The Massachusetts house of, repre- sentatives has reported favorably on giving the New London Northern rail- road authority to market $1,500,000 in new bonds. It is understood these bonds are to be sold to take up old bonds falling due soon. About one- half of this rafiroad runs through Con- necticut, from north to south and the remainder in Massachusetts, It is leased to the Central Vermont, which is controlled by the Grand Trunk. There is considerable Interest in this ‘Property since the Grand Trunk began its campalgn to sccure a tidewater outlet at Providence. By the New London Northern, the Grand Trunk has a tidewater terminal at New London for its freight to and from the north. Y. M. C. A. BASKETBALL. Tournament for Championship— Six Teams Competing. A.

A foreword as to the Object of mu- nicipal government will not be out of place at the beginning of this paper. Municipal goverament s pute business and absolutely nothing else. the phmse “municipal government” o “municipal business” ana note the ef. fect on your mind. aMunicipal prob- lems are business problems. The no- tion of representation by district of population has no sensibie application to the performance of municipal busi- ness functions in an honest and in- telligent manner. We should imitate the examples of the great and success- ful business corporations of our coun- try. There is nothing an honest cor- poration can do which an honest gov- ernment cannot do as well. The citi- zens are stockholders in s municipal corporation and a_great responsibility Tests upon them, but how often is it neglected. Public servants should be of two classes; experts who devote their whole time to the dutles of the office and commissioners or directors, to be representative, experienced ness men, serving without pay, to meet at regular intervags to hear the Teports of thie executive heads of departments and to outline the business policy. There should be no half-pay, part-time officeholders, Consolidate as far as possible the offices and duties and make the officials devote all of their time to_the work at living salaries.

You cannot pur- chase & first class article at a low price and this Tule applies equally well to municipal business and to the dry 800ds counter. The cities that are the most progressive and fastest growing are nearly always the cities with the Iargest debt and the highest tax rate, as witness Hartford with a debt of $5,600,000 and tax rate of twenty-two mills, owning over 1,200 acres of parks, 3,200 acres of watershed with seven reservoirs, 130 miles of streets, 110 of which are macadam, asphalt or brick. It is a good business proposition for a city or private corporation to borrow money to make a paying investment or to purchase property which will be of untold value to future generations. The Present Charter. 1 desire to call your attention to some of the outgrown and out of date features of the present charter, which was accepted by a vote of the citizens July 24, 1S71. At that time the town had 16,000 inhabitants and the city three-quarters of thnt number. James Lioyd Greene was mayor and of the citv official ‘the only ones now living are Albert D. Smith and Elisha P. Slocum, who were councllmen. The estimated expenses of the city for that vear were $122,000, which included an interest charge of $25,000 and the pay- ment of certificates of indebtedness is- sued the year previous for $25,000, 50 that the actual running nses of the city were estimated to be $72,000. The amount estimated to pay the run- ning expenses for the year ending May 15, 1910, was over $433,000. ‘The amount to be raised by tax was $88,000 and a tax of ten mills was laid on a grand list of a little over $9,000,- 000. it is a curious colncidence that the tax rate that year was the same as 1909 and the grand list during the 0d of thirty-eight years has only Wereased thrae and one-half militon, while the population of the city has just about doubled.

Higglns, who were cor- poration counsel, and many additions have been made since, so that only a thorough search through all of the ly indexed council journals will Sivalge what they are. The number of city officials, legisla- ed, and more s than one-half serve with- out pay. vowess Stehe mayor are very umhaa ahd no. responsibilit e placod on him except as he Is the thirteenth member of the court of common council.

Al moneys due the city ought to be paid in at one place, and all bills pald by the check of one per- son or department, and all the city ‘bookkeeping as far as possible carried on in one office and under the same system.

One of the most perplexing features of our present city government is the fact that the years of our different de- partments are not the same and this fact causes much misunderstanding in our city bookkeeping and accounts.
