POLICE PAY. By the action of the police com- missiomers the regular members of the local police force are now receiving more pay than the job has ever de- manded before. This is the culmina- tion of an effort which has been un- derway for the past few years and re- ceived the sanction of the city meet- ing in making the necessary appro- priation at the last session. The police have at tim undergone the paring process and been dropped from $2.50 to $2.25 but the increase to $2.75 from $2.56 is only in accordance with the reguirements of the times. The cost of living has advanced and. it is bnt mnatnral that policemen - should nmeed and get a proper living wage. The Norwich police by the advance | which has been granted them are as well paid as any police in the state | for cities of this size. In some of the larger citieg where grades are main- | tained the pay runs somewhat higher but a higher class of service is de- manded. Middletown pays $2.56 af- ter the third year; Stamford $8 month for the third year men; Willi- Meriden $3 for A class, for B class and $2.50 for C class men. Danbury §1050 after the third year, and New London $75 a month. Norwich is thus not overpaying its men since the highest which is paid in the state is $2.25 which is received in Pridzeport. Hartford and New Haven. Waterbury and New Britain pay $3. The demand of the commissioners that the merease in wages shall be re- flected In the betterment of the ser- ¥ice is only proper. ANIMALS IN HOT WEATHER Hot weather alwars has its effect upon humanity. We swelter and fume 2nd fuss in an endeavor to get along as comfortably as possible By seeking shade. cool drinks and artificial means of reducing the temperature, but all the time we are thinking of ourselves and paying little or no attention to the dumb animals which are silently suffering. but have little or no means of helping themselves. The automo- bile is a great relief to the occupants and to the horse which it may replace, but there are plenty of Instances for remembering that the horse is sub- Jected to far more thoughtless treat- ment than 1s consistent with good fndement. Men work hard and per- spire at their tasks the same as the horse is made to do but overloading, lack of protection from the bothersome flies, faflure to take advantage of shady stopping places, or neglecting an oc- casional bath after a tiresome day's work are due for more thought and at- temtion. Many are the instances where the borse goes until it drops in the in- tolerable heat simply for lack of prop- er consideration. Enough abuse is beaped upon the horse @during normal weather without having it increased during the summer with the addition of heat. There are many ways in which attention cam be shown the dumb animals without great extra ef- fort and what is true of the horse is also true of cats and dogs. An avail- able basin of water is oftem enough to keep them from going mad. Par- ticularly in hot weather de animals demand the best of treatment. It hasw't taken Jack Johnsom long to separate himself from his money and the country and he found that it Wes easy come, easy £0. Frem present indications there witl ‘e no further use for the furnace for & fow-wasks A loast. NORWALK GONOOUDA‘“'ON. : Whether they are in a mood to re- eeive It, the Norwalks should be open to econgratulations for the' manner in whieh they have disposed of the sev- eral ferms of government Within their midst. Though it was not a unani- mous action by any means the vote demenstrated that it is the wish of the majerity of its people that the old system of government should be abol- ished and the benefit gained of unit- ing in a bigger better Norwalk. From 'a distance the actien seems of the wisest kind. For twe eities, several fire districts and settlements to en- deavor to exist to the best advantage within the same town is against good practice. Consolidation is the logical and most economical and efficient plan under which the bests results can be obtained, and now that the majority has so declared it is the duty of the entire population of the town to unite in making the new city the success which it deserves. The action as shown by the vote meang progress. It will be the get- ting away from the old form of doing business which has hampered and al- ways would hamper their growth. Dual form of government is always expensive and Norwalk has set an ex- ample which many other places, in- cluding Norwich, can afford to study. The disposition on the part of the minority at Norwalk to fight the con- solidation is against their own best interests, which lie in joiming hands and endeavoring to keep Norwalk among the leading cities of the state. It's the get together spirit which they need. THE LAWRENCE DROWNINGS. Whatever may be the result of the investigation 1into the catastrophe ‘whereby eleven boys lost their lives at Lawrence, it is evident that safety demands that nothing in the way of flimsy construction should ever be per- mitted at dangerous places for the public te use. Such a bridge as was maintained might have under all nor- mal circumstances served the purpose for which it was intended, had the boys given it considerate usage, but boys will be boys, and it is necessary that structures which they are ex- pected to use be buiit substantial. That tha bridge was weak likely meant nothing to the boys. With the same spirit that they would run “benders” they give little thought to the risk they take as long as some fun can be had, and it remains for every city to eliminate every such dangerous temp- tation. The walk, or bridge, was probably never expected to suvport such a weight as was put upen it, to say nothing of the jumping and playing among the crowd. Though there was undoubtedly contributory negligence on the part of the bovs, who probably lit- tle realized the danger, it is a lesson in construction which Lawrence will long remember, Wherever the public 1s expected to, or is likely to gather at any particular point there should be properly maintained a structure, which will care for all contingencies. Tt is a point upon which too much emphasis (dnnu( be laid. Tt is far better to cal- culate for resistance to abnormal tests than to fall short. Better had that walk been built to have supported sev- eral truck horses than to have e perfenced the unfortunate loss of life. THE INCOME EXEMPTION. Tt is an interesting wrestle which the senate finance committee is hav- ing with the income tax proposition and the amount at which the exemp- tion will be left. In all probability they will reduce the exemption from $4.000 to $3.000 with the possibility of an additional exemption of $500 more of income for each child in the fami This of course recognizes the position of the head of the family and indi- rectly places an additional tax upon bhachelors, The idea is in accordance with the plan of imposing income taxes in other countries though not such large exemptions are made abroad as are contemplated by the senate com- mittee. The plan is based upon the fact that the expenses of the married men are much larger than those of the singie all of whose income over $3.000 would be subject to taxation. of the family of the married man drawing over $3,000 a year would de- termine what his tax would be. The scheme if carried out would give a more equitable basis of taxation. Tt is very evident that the family with children is more expensive to maintain and that the additional burden of tax- ation through the income plan would | operate unjustly unless recognition was taken of this fact. Though it may seem a means of squeezing the hachelor he has little to fear from what the tax would demand from his resources over the exemption limit. EDITORIAL NOTES. Men go to church coatless; also heartless and religionless. Happy thought for today: 1f you can’t keep cool, keep as cool as you can.
