In gen- eral, the plan of the campaign will be the ‘same as for the first loan, except that there will be one general commit- lee for the state, with headquarters in.

For the Westerly section, which will include ‘Westerly, Charlestown and Hopkin- ton, Charles Perry, president of the Washington Trust company, has been appointed chairman.

Simplified methods will be adopted which should material- ly reduce the time and labor involved in the raising of national army quotas. Governor Beeckman called attention to the fact that the comparatively large proportion of unnaturalized citizens in Rhode Island has been the source of serious difficulty in obtaining the quo- tas in the state. The provost marshal expressed opinion .that the bill com- pelling aliens to serve in some ca- pacity would be in operation- before another draft is ordered. No mention was made of any specific time set for another levy, but General Crowder merely stated that the calling of registrants would continue in prepa- ration for such additional cails as would issue upon the authorization of the war department.

New London, October 1,—Surely Former Governor Waller was at the annual city meeting and was the old- est and most active man of all who attended. That is he mas the most active in debate, and the only man who succeeded in advocating a change in the appropriations recommended. It was not much of a victory and, per- hape, it would have been more profit- able to the city and fairer to the board of assessors as a whole, had he di- rected his able efforts in a more im- portant direction. The court of com- mon council in order to sive the as- sessors what the councilmen believed to be fair pay for services rendered, managed to get for them $1,000 each or $500 above their salaries, by having the mayor name them as an equaliza- tion board which carried with it sal. arles of $5600 for the year. It was planned to fix the salaries at $1,000 a year and the council included a suf- ficient sum in the budget to meet that inerease, and the recommendation would undoubtedly had gone through without a question, had not the former governor and former mayor interposed. it was all right to give the assessor to be elected next Monday the in- creased pay, he claimed. but not to raise the pay of the other two while they were in office, as that was con- trary to city ordinance. Ho made a motion to that effect and the motion prevailed. Later in the meeting the governor ‘was not quite as su He tried to get a $2000 slice recommended for contingent expenses, or miscellaneous fund. to be appropriated for highway purposes at- Ocean beach, and made such a motion. To got Mayor Rogers guessing. but Alderman Miner and Corporation Counsel Hankey came to his rescue, and it was declared that it would not be legal to appropriate money for any purpose that was not first Tecommended to the city meeting by the court of common council. It was just as illegal as it was to raise the salaries of the assessors while in office, and under the circumstances, perhaps just a little bit more so. The governor insised that his plan was within the law and that he was willing to take it into court. That opportunity is now open. -1t is not to be expected that a New London court of common council can be composed of experts in every line of business or even have any knowl- edge of consequence concerning sur- veying, or even passing upon the worth of a steamboat, even of the ferry design. Just at this moment the members of the ferry committee can- not be called to mind. But it has been announced that Alderman E. Frank Morgan had secured option on a New York ferryboat which it was planned to place on the New London-Groton line, in place of the Governor Win- throp, when the ferry comes under municipal management. It was later announced that the option was to ex- pite on Saturday of the present week, and that effort was to be made to have. the option, secured by Mr. Morgan, for another week. In this connection it was also announced that Alderman Lawrence Cook, and perhaps Alderman Malcolm Scott, a bank clerk. were go- [ T Sows Yook foseme judgment on e fitness and worth of the boat se- lected by Mr. Morgan. and also to look over some other boats, with the idea in view of getting the best boat pos- sible for the local ferry.

Already some of those who were in- strumental dd tion upon the city. just to gratify per- @onality, are getting under cover and are actually advocating the taking over 'ELLOW VOTER!

This would indi- cate that the changes necessary in the new pler and the ferry slips on both sides of the river, were to come from some other source, and not chargeable to the ferry account. Or, perhaps. it is expected to pay for these changes from the ferry receipts, and have it so appear in the first report of the committee in charge of the ferry. But if these charges and all others are to be pald from the receipts, above the sum voted for operating expenses, there will not be enough left to pay off any of the principal, of the notes and perhaps not the interest, i. e.. if the public service is to be improved.
