NEW LONDON BU 1912—Churches to Aid in | The New o sociation | form a | purpose London Business Men's s abandoned the plan to | building association for the of erecting dwelling houses to accommodate the families that are gradually moving to the city in keep- ing with the steady and heaithy in- crease in manufacturing industries. It { has developed that sfce it was ascer- tained that there was a need for more | tenements and the board had taken | preliminary action towards supplying the need, that individuals became in- terested and at the present time over | fifty dwelling hot are in course of construction, or plans being consid- ered by bidders for the contracts. Some | of the manufacturers complained re- cently that the only reason why the working forces were not increased was because there was lack of housing fa- cilities in New London. With this cause removed, it is said that the force of one establishment will be more | | than doubled and work that is now | being done elsewhere for the concern will be dome at the home establish- | | ment. | | . Most of the houses that are to be | érected in different parts of the city | will be modernly equipped two family tenements and be rented at reasonable | rates, considering the cost of con- struction and maintegance. Besides | there will be several eight room cot- | | tages for those who can afford to pay | a little higher rental. The rents wiil | range from $18 to $25 a month, ac- cording to location, and all will be average are supposed to It is also plan- s that can be rented commodate the The pro- evidence spare coin | the future | therefore within reach of the who killed mechanic the new hou ned to build hous at lower rates to lower paid laboring cla iding of that the people with have substantial belief progress of the city ) Charlotte M. Holloway of New Lon- don has been' selected as investigator of the industrial conditions in | state under which women and | are n employment. Miss Holloway, by reason of her wide acquaintance and familiarity with the needs of her | >x and her experience in matters akin to her new duties, is peculiarly adapt- | ed to perform the duties of the new flice, and she knows, too, just how to prepare a report of the work accom- plished that will make esting 1ding.

Among | the officers to be elected are four al- | dermen, one from each ward, to fill the places of four republicans and one democrat. It is fair to presume that four of the five new aldermen will be repuBlican, and still the political ma- jority of the court of common council | will be democratic. It is therefore al- most cocksure that all the appeintive | offices the democrats want they can | get. Among the appointments is that of tax collector that is worth to the igcumbent about $2,700 a year that can bé gathered in without being over- worked. It s the best office from a financial standpoint within the gift of the city, so there is no wonder that there are always a few who make a try for the appointment. A year ago the appointment on a silver platter was declined by one who did not det sire to take chances on a political job for one year and jeopardize perma- nent employment that was not of a political nature. There always was, and there always will be, an annual fight for this appointment so long as it is within the power of the councll. | The present incumbent is John Dray | and he sure is a candidate for reap- pointment, as it is the best job of his long and useful career. It isgunder- stood that there are at least three lemocrats who believe they are enti- tled to the appointment and who con- sider themselves fully qualified for the duties of tax collector, but Mr, Dray Is in and democratic possession of an office within the gift of democrats is considered secure from molestation by other democrats, Collector Dray has given close at- tention to the business which has evi- dently increased considerably since he took charge of the collection of funds for the support of the city and some of its officials. Fer the first time it has“been necessary for a tax collector in, the city to empioy a clerk or assist- ant. The clerkship is a matter pure- 1y personal te the collector, as his sal- ary is paid from the private funds of | from the old fogy class. | and | Beach. | lease | ample ILDING PROBLEM Assessors’ Valuation for 1913 is $2,167,115, an Increase Over Christian Endeavor Campaign —Three Veterans Going to Chattanooga the collector and not from the city treasurer. But there are just a few in the city democratic collector desires a that he should select a democrat, and not his predecessor in office, and who was a candidate for reappointment in opposition to the present incumbent. This same clerk has been collector for several years and the only cause for his removal was a_change in the polit- al complexion of the court of com- mon council and the substitution of a democrat for a republican. The finance committee of the court of common council who have to deal with the annual budget, departed from the usual custom and gave public hearing to all who were interested sufficiently to attend the meeting. Ex- Governor Waller was there in all his glory and majesty and with almost the same vigor as when his word ruled New London—when a wave of the hand removed opposition to anything he even suggested. Although not as young as he used to be when in the ight of his political career, he bears {8 far removed He is abreast the times has been the biue his years lightly and often ahead of in_ this respect there change since he donned defense of his country, He took active part before the finance committee strongly of modern design and large enough accommodate .the public at Ocean nd told just how' it would be paying investment to the city, by He said there was public de- mand for such a pavilion and hoped the finance committee would include appropriation in the budget to « the project to successful issue.

He was there for the purpose of pushing for a much-needed bathing pavilion at the beach and just df into other matters from force of habit |and believing the projects were good helped to push them along. Rev {James W. Bixler was the first to be heard at the meeting and for his ac | commodation the matter of playground | appropriation was taken up out of the regular order. He wished it dis- tinctly understood that there was no need for an increased appropriation and he wanted to be recorded as by- ing opposed to any increase, though he was strongly in favor of the play- ground movement, Dr. Black, the health cfficer, he who raised a ruction because the members of Nameaug Engine company objected (g the use of the tollet by workmen on the appropriation for a padded cell at the almehouse for the cars tremen patients, and other cases where such a cell would be rejuired. The es- timated the cost of construction at $500, and perhaps $500 a year for a nurse or attendant. Ex-Mayor Tinker favored an increase in the appropria- tion for the care of the poor in the hospitals from $700 to $1,000 William Belcher asked for an appro- priation of $7,000 instead of $6,000 for the Bulkeley school. Willlam _H. Reeves, a trustee of the Williams Me- morial Institute, askad that the ap- propriation of $5 a term paid for each girl attending school be Increased to $10 a term or $20 a year. Professor Frederick 8. Hitchcock of the manual training school said that there were 400 students registered, and asked that the appropriation of '$10,000 for last vear be duplicated. Alderman John tyan of the police committee asked for no increase for police salaries,but sug- gested appropriation of $700 for new cells in the police station, and also the munificent sum of $300 for a police signal system, He said the system would be Installed by the Southern New England Telephone company for that sum and that the care weuld not exceed $200 % vear, He was unable to explain the details of the working of who are of opinion that if a| doti and | advocated a bathing pavilion | machine, | Mr. Lamphear has ven up his place at the Tomok pou v fa rm and has | moved to Rockville, wnere he has se- - | cured employment Mr. and Mrs, F.
