But ‘Twas ever thus and ever thus ‘twill be, and the police will be | gontinued to be condemned if they do their duty and condemned if they | don't. And now the aldermen of the | city, or some of them, have the habit. | Among the standing committees of | the court of common council is one | i on police matters. byt still at the last | | meeting of the (-oun‘fil one of the al-| { dermen made open accusation that the | were derelict in their duty as! had failed to order the collector i te paper to cover his wagon { though he had made personal requeit to that effect. This matter is of the nd that should be reported to the po- committee rather than to the| uncil as a whole and to the news- | lice paper representatives at the meeting | that the knock would reach some the constituency of the knocker, for without this publicity or desire for it |" the complaint would probably never en made xn open meeting but direct | to the committee, / alderman is now serving his ap- prenticeship and another of the same indenture chimes in on the new| | toan scale. His erack at the police | is not of the shorf jab order but is direct from the shoulder, for he open- | Iy advocates the calling in of the el police to regulate the automobile traf- fic in the city of New London w special reference to speed, which is 20 a step in advance of the | lons at Hartford who do not consic {a law to resulate the | vehicles as essential, | are mot driven recklessly. Perhaps that if instances of reckless driving were ht to the aftention of the police | committee the matter would receive ttention. But there seems to a persistent desire to knock the po- lice even if the oppertunity is de for the occasion. With the trolley cars runninng on | double_tracks in State street and with no relief in sight from.the court of | common council, the trolley company refusing ‘o make a r‘hdng under the threat that if the council is persistent the old twenty-minute schedule will be restored. So the matter was drop- | ped for reasons that look plain to even | those on the outside. Still one of the | ces insisted that lne S ted a that the police department be instr !( [- 1 | ed to place two officer: to enforce the traffic reg ever they may be, for there are no lc cal ordinaces except such as covered by siatute as to driving in the,right of the middle of the road. The matter of the course of automo- biles, as to keeping to the rightgwhile in motion and heading to the right when at a stand ill and so on, is not embraced in any ordinace known to the city of New London. Nor is there an ordinance that legally determines just how long an automobile will be allowed to stand in front of a store. | mo matter hether the automwobile is vrred by the storekeeper as a delivery on or a touring car. from Tenn or any other place. see Therefore the police would have just | a little difficuity in trying to enforce an imaginary ordinance. It might he well for some of these apprentices to draft a traffic ordinance, urge its doption and then insist upon its en- forcement bout two ye: azo a 1 committee was appointed to | consider an ordinance for the regula- tion of traffic_but most of the mem- | bers were retired from office before any plans were formulated for such an’ ordinance. To get back at the starting point i how can traffic be sa actori ad- { justed in State street with trolley cars Tunuing in the ‘same direction on | double “tracks, both on the right and | left sides of the middle of the road at the same time? There would be rea- sonable ground for questioning the le- : of an ordinance of traffic that minated in favor of cars k as | against other vehicles in the direction | which they should travel. Under the provisions of the will ot the late Sebastian D. Lawrence a sub- | stantial sum of money was set aside, the interest of which is to give to the | inm: of the almshouse a “good old- rioned dinner’ stmas and Fourth of Judw of each vear. The first - under the will was served on to the fifty-six inmates and ven to understand plain- that the extra feast was not served at the expense of the city, but were | assured that another “good old-fash- ioned dinner,” of the Christmas sort, would be served on the twenty-fifth of December and would be repeated on | these two days perhaps to the end of time, or when there are no more un- fortunate poor and almhouses or town | farms. 1 Many of the inmates expressed ap- preciation of the generosity and the | thoughtfulness of the late Mr. Law- ence in remembering the poor, not | only in_providing for these dinners, | but in giving to the peopie a free hos- pital. to the poor a new almshouse and monuments to the soldiers and sailors, to the volun firemen, all of which re monumen to the Lawrences e acts bave proven that New ndon better for having had these men numbered among its residents One of the inmates of the almshouse made declaration that he had known Joseph Lawrence, father of Joseph, i Frank and Sebastian, and also knew the sons personally, and was familiar with the mode of living of Frank and | Sebastian. but feit confident that when | the_end came that the money accu- mulated by these money-making men | would be devoted in.the main to the public good. < New London in square inches is on2 of the smallest cit n the state, ; but what is laking in size is made up in enterprise.

This week gnnouncement made of the death of Hezekiah Mun- sel at the age of eighty-eight. That was his only obituary, but had he died halt 4 _century ago, when he was one of the dandies of the town, known and respected by everybody in the city, there might have been a more public announcement made. Mr. Munsell was a barber by oc- cupation and over fifty vears ago had the barber shop in the basement of the old Bacon hotel, on the site of the present Hotel Royal. He also had shops in other locations and as there were no safety razors in those will er- business. ®Mr. Munsell worked trade until his eyes failed him over ten years ago and since then he ha disappeared from the lime light and | evidently was known only to tho: whoo received their first shave from Mr. Munsell or his assistants, basement of the Bacon hotel. Health Officer Black ordered own- | ers of property abutting the water front beiow the Pequot to clear the beach of fletsam thit tended to be prejudicial to the public health, and L2 v politely and pleasantly in- formed that if there was any beach “cleaning to be done it was up to the ew London to do the work, as the beach below high water mark was t private property. Of course that t is generaily known but it is not acknowledged - by all owners of property abutting the beach land ot New London. Adjoining the very plot to which the health officer called spe- cial attention there are two substan- tially built walls that extend far below h water k and other obstructions to prevent the pub- lic from utilizing the beaches in other locations, and depriving the old es- tablished privilege known vears ago as the “fishermen’s rights.” The walls while built to withstand the severest of storms are not of lega construction, are without authority an should be femoved. While the beach- es.are open to the public by law be- low high water mark, the public has no right to go over private property to reach the beach. But once on the beach no one has the right to ob- struct free passage from end to end. In the particular location where the heavy stone walls extend bevond even the low water mark, there is no di- rect access to the beach, nor is there for quite a distance on either side. But there is, or was a public way to the beach that no one had the right to close, which extends from - Pequot avenue in front of the Norris proper- ty to the harbor. The public certain- Iy has the right to go to the beach by that way and walk on the sands in either d ion to thesend. There ' other public entrance at Ocean Beach and from there the public has the right to walk to the lighthouse and beyvond. There are many obstruc tions along that route, but they have no legal right for existence and could be legally removed. Not very long ago the Griscom’s at Watch Hill buiit a high picket fence news gatherers and | days. mor | so many gparbers here, he did quite a | at his | e’ made of in the, th there are ! “near the pier thxt is used by _steamer | Blgck Island, extending the fence to low water mark; thus preventing the public from the use of the beach upon which th%r(}rlscom property fronted. The. maitte was taken up by the ‘Westerly town council and the ob- struction was removed forthwith, and now that fence ends where the es- law that govern such matters at ‘Watch Hill is thes same law that govern the sea coastof the whole United States. It would be well for the, court of common council of the city of New London to take this important matter into consideration, for already some beach property owners actually believe that their property rights extend over the water as far as the eye can reach on a clear day, and that the public including the fishermen have no beach respect. Of course it is the duty of New London to remove anything that is prejudicial te the public health, below high water mark ritorial limits of the city, for beaches belong to the public and not to abutting property owners, that is below high water mark. In compliance with a vote of the! court of common council and, actipg | upon the request of the police co mittee, the prosecuting attorney has requested the chief of the state po- lice to send some of his sleuths to New London, motoreyeyes and all, to aid the local police in enforcing all the laws_relating to automobiles and to | put X stop to the reckless driving of | these modern vehicles that vears and vears ago were prophesied by Shipton, which is perhaps all right, so far as it _goes. There is meed for action to end the reckless driving that has been indulged in of late, but per- haps it would have been just as well to have instructed the local police to en- force the amiomobile laws and then, if | they failed, called for the assistance of such of the state police as are train- ed in that particular line of work. Under the head of reckless driving it is to be hoped that public vehicles will not be omitted from their opserva- tion, but that a sharp lookout will be the drivers of these vehicles | to see to it that they are not under influence of intoxicating liquor when soliciting :for pa have passengers in their This does not signify that the drivers of motor vehicles in New London are all addicted to_use of strong drink, for they are not. But there is at least one chauffeur who has been seen drivin: | vehicie when he was too drunk to straight, and there. may be South Glastonbury.—The annual meeting of th: Hartford archdeaconry was held at St. Luke’s church Wednes- day, beginning at 11 o'clock a. m. with holy communion and sermon by Rev.
