That hoary saw of “When the cat's away the mice will play” and that almost equally ancient songlet of “The three blind mice, see how they run,” were given vivid illustration at the regular monthly meeting of the New London court of comon councll, when Mayor Mahan was in Hartford in behalf of the advancement of the interests of the city attending a mect- ing of the commission having in charge the important matter of expending the $1,000,000 apropriated by the state for the development of New London har- bor. Three of the aldermen who are openly opposed to the mayor and prac- tically all that he recommends came to the front and center and did things that probably would not have traveled quite 8o far had the mayor been pres- ent at the meeting. There was talk and talk, of the -most insinuating nature and one of the gentlemenly trio tuok up much of the time in question- g bis felow e ceeu as to their actton or larw »f act’.n that related to maiters 1tat haa L.cn referred to the committee they re;icsented. ue of the irfo wer.~d the automo- hile snned ra ity and occasionally usad by (he maver "0 bear the words “straet department’ on a plate attached to the car, and another wanted the designation words painted in big let- ters on the hood of the car where it could be more plainly seen, and the third intimated that the car was not being used fur the purpese for which it was pu csed but was diverted to the mayor as 4 jaunting car. One of the strongest supporters of the mayor took exception to the insinuations and declared that the mayor used the car ! in connection with his duties as mayor and was right in so doing and that he did not want the mayor to do dewn in his jeans and pay for automobile Wire from his private funds to do busi- ness for the city and, he belieyed that the late Dr, George R.

The ne- siding officer said something oi vin- Wiciven.2s and persenalities beiug at the end of the meeting. It was surely a meeting out of the or- dinary as up to that time, since the present administration of Mayor Ma- han the meetings have been charact- erized by harmony with a big black Gothic H. But on this occasion sev- eral of the members seemed to be out of joint with themseives and their fel- Jow aldermen and it is feared that the seed of bitterness were sewed that in the future wil bring a harvest that wiil be detrimental to the best Inter- ests of the city and not craditable to some of the members of the New London court of common council And all because the mayor happened to be away and Tom, Sam and ¥rank wanted to play. There is prospect that Roswell Edg- comb, pestmaster at Groton, will be relieved and the post office in that village will be made a station of the New London office, or abolished alto- gether, and thereby incidentally in- greasing the importance of the New London office and perhaps the pay of Postmaster McGinley. But the most important result of the merging or whatever else it may be, the people of Groton Heights will get better postal service, as they will be served by let- ter carrigrs direct from the New Lon- don post office, The general policy of the post office department is to aboi- ish smell postoffices in piaces where the service can be fmproved by con- solidation and this is being done grad- ually all over the country. Charles H. Pendleton, of Westerly, post office inspector with headquarters in Providence, has been making daily visits to New London and Providence at intervals for some time, and it is gald has given the managing of the Groton office with the New London office the most careful and studled at- tention. Just what has been the result of the inspeotor's investigation and recommendation will be first made publie in communication from the de- partment in Washington, and it is ex- pected that this announcement wiil Le fertheoming n the very near future, “While no one In the city doubts the ability of a member of the court of cpmmon council to excavate and build the foundation for the addition to the city hall, or the whole building for that matter, and fully as well as any v building contractor in the city, other cigarette—ever.

The local law on this point is too plain to be misleading and it is evident that, the fact hag already been recognized. Fortunately the contractor-alderman has a son in the same line of business and they work in harmoeny with each other. If the disqualification of the father is by reason of his being & member of the court of common coun- cil the disqualification of the father does not fall upon the son. So in order that the work could go on uninterrupt- edly the son has taken charge of the work and is progressing with ail pos- sible rapidity. If that little section vhich specifles that all city business 1at requires expenditure of $3,000 or ver shall be given out by contract being properly advertised, still cmaing on the city book of statutes, )-called, that might be another stumbling block. But the committee | puts a different phase on that featurs | by making declaration that this pre- liminary building work is Being done by the day under the direction of the committes and that the contractor is simply hired to supervise the work. As a rule more than one road leads to a public square-deal. The New London Business Men’s association is certainly progressive, and Is pot content with suggestions te the court of common council, but goes a step or two farther and acts upon fts own suggestions if they do not receive satisfactory attention from the city fathers, For instance, atten- tion was called to the congested con- dition in State street by reason of the trolley cars using the street as a freight transfer station and asked that action be taken that would result in improvement of the conditions, o council reported the matter to the street railway committee and there is no change for betterment. The busi- ness men met and appointed a com- mittee to ascertain the reason why and intimated that if the city fathers could not play a winning hand that the assoclation committes would take still the opinion prevails that he can- |a hand in the game and play to the Umit, The association sppointed a com- mittee to reform the fire departmen not the personnel, but the working . ‘That was a tender subjec committes struck a snag, and then declared that there wme no Intent fo disrupt the department in any way, sithough insinuations to that effect wers cast at the comuniiteemen. vited an expert to oome to New Lan- don end give o general talk.on fire de- partment work, insurance rates and other matters kindred to an efficient fire department. It Is undarstood that the talk will be fres to the public and that special invitation will be glven the members of the department to hear the taiker, with the privilege of ask- ing questions on any of the topics up- on which the speaker will touch dur- ing his address. The association is surely & busy bedy and is ready at all times to dip right into anything, without regurd to eti- quetts or jurisdiction, that the mem- bers believe will tend to the general benefit of the city, It may be all in the game ef politics but it Is not at ali creditable te thoss who manipulated the wiréds that pre- veuted former Gov.
