Norman, assistant clerk of the superior court, read an interesting paper on city governments, making reference to the plan adopted at Galveston and that in vogue at Newport and Newburyport, as well as that at Des Moines. He was heard with much interest by the gathering of members and friends, and following a discusslon of the subject refresh- ments were served in the banguet room. Mr. Norman’s paper was as follows: Mr, James Bryce, writing in 1898, used a phrase which has been very 3. The assumption by the state leg- islature of the direct control of local affairs. The practical operation of these three causes is about as follows: ‘The state machine passes such laws as will gain and hold its control of the offices and the men in the offices. The men in the offices do likewise. A candidate gains office by a lavish ex- penditure of money or promises, or both. He comes into office very much as Caesar did, and has to make good. Thus we are governed by an orzanism ( which 'has roots extending into many places. Some of those places we should not care to frequent. Some of the men in some of the offices are of more use to the nrachine than they are to the people. The people, if left to themselves, would never elect many a dog catcher who proudly holds high office. Such is the power of evil asso- ciations that it is now no particular ‘honor to hold public office.

A mild case of scarlet in the primary room, Miss Julie B. Kuebler, teacher, grammar school, on Prospect street. Shortly after school began a 7-year- old Polish boy was seen by the teach- er tearing strips of dead skin from his hands and dropping them on the floor. Dr. N. B. Lewls, the city health officer, was notified and he found the boy in the peeling stage of scarl fever, which is stated to be the m dangerous for contagion. Dr. Lewis stated that there were few particles small enough to float in the air, so that the other children could not breathe them into their systems. and thereby catch the disease. The school was at once closed and the children were sent home. Dr. Lewis visited the home of the boy on Second street and he found another member of the fam- ily, 11 years old, coming down with the fever. The house was quaran- tined without delay. Dr. Lewis will i keep a striet watch for further cases in_that neighborhood. The Prospect street school will be fumigated today by the health officer, and the main school 3 tral avenue will be treatment after Thursday, when the term ends. The schools will reopen on schedule after the Easter vacation. To further prevent any spread of disease, Dr. Lewis is planning to thor- oughly fumigate all the school houses in the eity. TAFTVILLE Plans for Baseball Bleachers to Seat 400—Basketball Game with Jewett City Will Close Season—Personals. Another baseball meeting was held in St. Louis hall on Tuesday evening and a number of minor matters were discussed. Prestdent Adolphus Be- noit and Manager Archie Molleur will represent Taftville at the league meet- ing in Danielson Friday evening. It is planned to put up bleachers capable of holding 400 people on the ball grounds on Providence street be- fore the season starts and the field will be otherwise improved. It is un- derstood that the company will help out the baseball association in this direction. If the warm weather con- tinues, practice may begin some time next week. Basketball Season Closes Next Week. The basketball season for Manager Adolphus Benoit's Taftville five will close on March 31, with a_game with the Jewett City team in Parish hall The Taftville players have been able to trim most of the teams they have been lined up against this season. but Jewett City has been too much for them hitherto, except in a game at the very beginning of the season. Mana- ger Benoit’s men haye it in them to give just the right kind of an ending to a successful season by administering a sound defeat to their old rivals. Olvmpias Go to Danielson.

YANTIC HAPPENINGS. Artesian Well for Creamery Company —Local Small Notes. George Beckwith of Franklin has been spending several days with John C. Tracy, Jr. Mrs. Mary Ladd was in Ellington recently attending the funeral of her brother, Samuel Champlin. Mrs. Louis Soucfe is spending the week with Mr. and Mrs. Noel Soucie in Arectic, R. I. Mr. and Mrs. Haig, formerly of Jer- sey City, who have been spending sev- eral days with Mr. and Mrs. William Shanks, left Monday for Boston, where they will reside. An artesian well is being driven on the Bozrah Creamery company’s prop- rety by a New London firm. _C. V.

Now as Galveston was a wide open town in Texas, cleaning it up was a ticklish pob, but that has been done, too. The police force has been grad ually entirely reconstructed. Streets have been cleaned up. In a single year $9,000 has been saved in etreet lighting and the lights placed where they belong. The city is gradually be- ing sewered. Health regulations are strictly enforced and health regula- tions are doubly important in a south- ern oity. ‘The mayor gets $2,000 a year, the commissioners $1,200. The commis- sioners allot to themselves the various departments, which are finance and revenue, police and fire, streets and public property, water works and sew- erage. The board says to the com- missioner of each department what shall be done; he then advises and directs the superintendent of the de- partment he_.represents in the board. The superintendent attends to the de- tails. This is essentially the form of organization in all the great railroads and industrial corporations today. Des Moines Pian. Des Moines divides her departments a little differently. The mayor is head of publc affairs, covering law, the police court, the library and the city civil service. The department of ac- counts and finances covers auditors, treasurer, Ycense collector, market master. The department of public safety covers police, fire and health. The department of streets and public improvements covers what its name denotes. Then there is a department of parks and public property. Des Moines has initiative, referendum, re- call civil service. Salaries are $3,500 and $3,000 for mayor and councilmen respectively. The council has all tha powers possessed by cities of the first class which are not enumerated in the charter. On March 28 an election will be held in Des Moines in which the issue will be between the street railway people and the “consumers.” Cedar Rapids has adopted the com- mission plan with brilliant success. Eau Claire, Wis., is sust starting it In Des Moines the results are said to be very eatisfactory. Fifteen cities in Texas are wunder this form now, nine in Kansas, Bos- ton, Buffalo, Tacoma, St. Joseph and Z\!emphi: with over 100,000 populnflon. Newport and Newburyport Idea. There is another plan In operation in Newpeort, R. I, and Newhb: Mass. A salaried commission €o run the government with a Jlarge unpaid council representing the peopie large to_watch them. This council is supposed to meet once a year and lay taxes and appropriate money and take the place of the annual town meeting. The council is responsible for the rais- ing of the money and the commission is responsible only for good manage- ment. In 1908 Governor Draper of Massa- chusetts was authorized to appoint a commission of five to run Chelsea af- ter the fire. By the act the powers of the mayor, aldermen and school board devolved on this commission, called the board of control. This board of control was to appoint a school board of five. This board was established not only to govern Chelsea but to super- vise its laying out and building up anew. This is clearly a commission mainly to supervise the rebuilding of Chelsea, but in 1912 the opportunity will be afforded of continuing the board of control if it is desired. ‘The committee appointed to revise the charter of Boston said: “No mu- nicipal charter can be a self executm‘ instrument of righteousness. If people want the kind of g-overnment they have had the past few years, no charter revision will prevent it. If, as the commission believes, they desire good government, the plan suggested should enable them to get and keep Direct Nomination. At the session of the National Mu- nicipal league at Cincinnati Nov. 16, 1909, Mr. Woodruff, the secretary, said that the movements for commission government and direct nominations were the most prominent municipal tendencies. *“After years of flounder- ing between shameless subserviency to corporations and ignorant or vicious or dishonest attacks upon them, the progressive communities of this cown- try have recently been coming to the inevitable conclusion that to get the business of the people attended to sat- isfactorily it is necessary to entrust it to small, well paid commissions com- posed of competent men chnmd with due power and authority.’ Direct nominations, whetha' by maries or fll make it 10 for the to choose good (or bad) men to run their hu-ho-. ‘The com- Inission -makes it possible for the Desired by Yale Senior Council—Peti- tion Circulated.
