So the matter was dropped, | temporarily, at _least Alderman O'Leary accepted the decision of the mayor with grace, but is gtill of the opinion that the legislature never in- tended to deprive the city of New Lot~ {don of the services of a sealer of weights and measures. i When the city took over the werk of collecting the garbage under the di- ! rection of the street department, il was given out that the work wus not taken | from the contractor for the purpase of saving money, but rather for the pur-| | pose of giving better service, therefore | | Alderman O'Leary was justified in claiming realization of that promise at a meeting of the councii a menth ago, not only take the receptacles from the | yard as did the contractor, but that the receptacles be returned to the yards afier being emptied and not left on the isdewalks. As this has not been done, the alderman brought up the matter again for action at the council meeting the present week. Ie; told of the conditions that existed and suggested the improvement that could | readily be accomplished and at no ad-| { ditional expense but much mere ac-| ceptable to the people. ; i Mayor Mahan suggested that the al- derman file his complaint with the| highway commissioner who weuld give it proper consideration. The alderman declared that he had no complaint but | was acting for what he considered to | be for the public good and for the; | bettering of the general condition of | | the city and along the lines suggested { by the Municipal Art society, whose | | object was the beautification of the| city. So this matter was dropped with- | out action by the council, but perhaps the hignway commissioner may see fit | to have the changes made as suggested | by the alderman. | Alderman Richard M. Brockett, chairman of the fire department com- | mittee, the railroad conductor who is! detailed as pilot of the trolley sys-| tem when the cars take the rafls of lhn] steam road above Norwich, is ever On‘ the alert to guard the best interest of | the city. When the contract between | the city and the New London Gas and | Electric Light company was read at! the council meeting, he noticed that the | customary clause which gave reduced | price for gas and electricity to the| fire departinent was omitted, either by ke or design. He made motion, which was carried, that the contract be not signed on behalf of the city| unless such a clause was inserted. That little act was a big money-saver fo rthe c and apparently esoaped | the attention of the other aldermen. | The fire department was never con- iducted better than under the direc tion of Alderman Brockett and his competency has been proclaimed in public by Mayor Mahan, who declared | that he appointed Mr. Brockett io the chairmanship of that committee place and for no other reason. Alder- | man Brockett's associates on the com- mittee are all weil qualified and respect the judgment of the chairman.

Mr. Bond was interested in getting the industry to locate upon its present site, and when it was announced that $70,000 worth of the stock was within the reach of citizens of New London he suggested a meeting for the consid- eration of the project.
