Mahan it Wolld Not Now Be Here—New White Way on State Street—Town * Committee Work Criticised. (Special to The Bulletin.) New London, Nov. 3.—Postmaster Bryan F. Mahan as state senator, con- fressman and mayor and as private sitizen, has boomed New London more than any other inhabitant thereof, and t's no wonder that New London is iften referred to in other sections of ‘he state as Mahan town. The whole lownspeople, barring perhaps a few jore-headed and jealous-minded demo- sratic would-be politiclans, are as yroud of Mahan and his achievements 1s Mahan is proud of his native city ind that is going some, and some hore. He proved himself to be the )est mayor ever, the most influential ind effective working state senator hat ever represented New London in sart, and no one ever did so much or New London during a single term 8 did Mahan as congressman, and wmrely New London has not now and iever dld have a more prozressive itizen. All this extensive advertising Yew London is getting at the present ime all over the world, and which is ure to bring some everlasting bene- its, is also due to the persistency and walous work of Mahan to advance the lest -interest of the city. But for the earnest and hard work # Bryan F. Mahan the submersible That Uneasy Feeling Thet dull depression, that dragged jut spiritless condition—it’s bilious- tess.

Mahan is personally responsible for the construction of the state pier 4hd all that goes to make it complete. Of this there can be no doubt. It was ‘Mahan, and practically Mahan alone who worked the million dollar pier matter through the general assembly in 1913, and it was Mahan who pre- vented the legislature of 1913 from re. scinding the action of 1911 and refus- ing the appropriation of $1,000,000 for that state pier at New London. Had there been no state pier there would have been no Deutschland in ,New London harbor, for the reason that the only place ~available for the pur- pose along the entire water front is at the state pler. Nearly all the water front from railroad bridge to railroad bridge is owned by the railroad com- panies centering at New London, and none of the railroad water front, in its present condition, could not serve the Deutschland’s purpose. The whart properties privately owned are all utilized for business purposes by the owners. It is about time this condi- tion was changed. Some time ago Mahan started a movement to see if something could not be done to have the waste water front facilities util- ized, by the owners, the railroad com- panies, if possible, and if not by oth- ers. It such a thing is possible, that thing will be done, with Mahan as the working lever. e has undertalen bigger Bublic jobs than that and suc- ceeded. Leave it to Bryen F. Mahan. This same Mahan when battling for the $1,000,000 state pier appropriation before legislative committee, when it was feared by almost everybody but Mahan that the appropriation would be recalled, ho reiterated what he had sald as senator when arguing for the appropriation that it would be a pay- ing investment for the stase, and that the state pier would redound to the credit and benefit of the whole state as well as to New London. The state is wWith New London in the wides, favorable adver , and as Mahan the pier would be pa- tronized by & steamship com- pany before the work was completed, and his dreams haye come true. That pler has put Connecticut and New London on the map of the world and in a prominent end Dosition.

VIORE D. S. MARSH progressive stamp ought to be repub- licans, otherwise Mahan is all right. It /is a long stride from the old naphtha street lichts, or even the gas lights, that illumined from the old- time lamp posts, to the new White Way on State street, which by night is now as brignt as day for the entire length of the street, the main one, in the best sidewalked and best-lighted city in the state. A combination that indicates progress and enterprise. The full flare of the White Way was turn- ed on for the first time on tho first night that the Deutschland was in port, but the important event had nothing to do with the arrival of the German merchantman. Still such a bellef existed among some, who came from the surrounding country and had no knowledge of the long-planned improvement. One old chap from North Waterford in stepping from a trolley car in State street, actually asked if the city was illuminated to celebrate the coming of the German, or was it a political illumination, and if 50, whether democratic or republi- can, and when the political procession was to start, and from where. He wanted to fall in, if not too late, as he had not marched and cheered the illuminations since Horace Greeley ran for president on the democratic ticket. He sald he preferred to parade for Hughes, but if it was to be a Wilson procession, he would march just the same, for he was in town for a time and was willing to march in any old procession, if he could carry a torch and help cheer for the illuminations just as he used to in the good old po- litical days. There was_one disap- pointed Waterfordian in New London that night, but on learning the true condition he remarked: “Well, maybe we'll have a torchlight procession in our town when Lawver Geary gets elected to the legislature.” There have been elections and elec- tions in New London but never before has there been less republican town committes work than precedes the election of next Tuesday, which will be perhaps the most important in the history of the nation. It may be that the committee has g00d dope that pre- election work is not necessary just at this time, as rep#blican victory, and a blg one at that is positively assured, Still this committee in activity is nof satisfying to those who in the years that have gone haye performed the party drudgery on the lists, the books and all the necessary preliminary pa- per work that brought around party success. One of this class remarked the other day that he could not under- stand why the town committee were not up and doing. He said that so far as he knew the committee had not done any advance work Of conse- quence, evidently leaving ail the.local ocandidates to paddle their own canoes, and that the committee would take a general oversight of what was doing on election day. He said the committes posed o astute republican political workers and know just.where are at and know just What they are going to do, but, he added: “It seems queer to me that the committeemen have not gome out among the faithful and raised some money to help pay the election expenses, just as they used to do when I was within the inner circie. I tell you, sir, that an active committeeman would have no trouble in this election period to go out among the merchants of Bank, State and Main streets and raise $1,000 for political purposes in an hour's travel. I believe we need the money in the coming election, and [ know it can be had for the asking.” One of the committeemen explained that the committee was-doing its full duty to the party and mo work was being neglected, the talk of ex-mem- bers on the outside to the contrary, notwithstanding.

An electric fare box in use on “one- man cars” receives nickels, dimes or quarters, automatically registers the correct number of fares for each coin and requires no attention from the motorman. Stepless double-decker street cars which have proved so popular in New York, Pittsburg, Columbus and Wash- ington are now appearing for the first time abroad on the Vienna Municipal Tramways. Even birds have adopted electricity for cooking. Two snakes were found hanging over high tension wires in California where the birds had dropped them. Both of the snakes were “done to a turn.” An electric lighting plant which fur- nishes power every night and gives day service or wash days for electric washing and ironing is to be instalied in a little town of 400 population among the pine barrens of Georgia.
