H. 274-292 STATE STREET, NEW HAVEN, CONN, (Special_to The Bulletin.) New London, April 19.—Charles Pin- ney, the acting.captain of the New|! | London police force, who was jump- ed into the place over the heads of a dozen or more members of the force who were his seniors.in point of ser- vice and his equal at least in quali- fluences back of"the mayor, has as- sumed the duties with becoming mod- |esty, and is doing his best to make £ood, so as to deserve the permanent appoiniment next October. Mr. Pin- ney for the eight years' service on th force made good and there is no valid reason why he should not be com- petent to captain the New London po- lice force. He surely has the assist- ance of the mayor, which has not been given t6 Captain Haven, - or Acting Captain Jeffers. The mayor realiz- ing_the lack of experience of Captain Pinney sent him to Springfield to' be schooled in pelice work, the mayor se-| lecting the Springfield department as a model for New London. The mayor requested the captain to go to the po- lice. school and of course . {he cap tain obeyed, it being taken for grant ed that the mayor, or the city paid the bill of expense.” Being a very apt pupil, Captain Pinney did not study the Springfield system very long, and perhaps the mayor expects that Pinney learnel more of police business in a few days than did Jeffers, who Pin- [{ney succeeded, did' in_the thirty and more years of active police duty in this city where he was born, a no doubt knows as much of, if not more, than any other resident thereof. Phe captaincy was forced on Pinney and he is cntitled under the circumstances to the undivided support of the mem- bers of the force, and this he will un- doubtedly receive. afternoon this week he called a meet- ing of the newsgatherers the police captain and the police committee, to talk over the situation, and the news- men were called to give their ideas of how the police department ought to be conducted. Is there another mayor in the universe who would be so consid- eraté? One of the “scoopers” sug- gested the purchase of a runabout au- tomobile to be operated by a cop to cover the outlying districts now cov- ered by several cops. The mayor took the suggestion seriously. Some one the Springfield platoon system could be aprlied to New London. This was met with a statement that there would not be much trouble in securing all, the men required, provided they would work without pay, as the committee, had no money for additional salaries.

It may be in the same |line" with "the stone-Crushers purchas- ed eby the committee of the court of common council many years . Did anybody in town ever hear a apecm appropriation being made purchase of a - motor-street- sweeper? One of the wrongs. in the duet of muni ipal matters is llu pre- chairmen of stand- committees of the court of com- mon council, who assume ail authori~ ty but considerately permit other{ members of the committee to affix their signature to bills contracted by the chairmen to complete approval for 'ment. That's a reason why it is ifficult at time to get public inform- ation from committeemen. Here's a case in point. The navy department has tanken over the new almshou: for use as an hospital and at a cer- tain rontal—the department to take the premises just as they stood at the time of the taking over, and the city would be at no expense in the trans- action, so-long as the place was used as a naval hospital. Before the con- ditions. were made known at a meeting of the council at least one member of the committee. did not know the amount of the rental. ILater he did understand that the city would be relieved of any expense in connec- tion with the premises until the term- ination of the lease or until aband#ned s a naval hospital. Still the grounds are being graded, new sidewalks laid, end other improvements biing made on the premises, and the city is paying the bills. This member did not know ‘the work was being done until he happened out that way. Despite the ali-absorbing topic, there is quiet local poljtics talked al- though the city election is some six months away. Naturally there are many citizens regardless of party lines who believe that the' earnest endeav- ors of Mayor Rogers to advance the best interests’of the city ought to be recognizedsand his public acts ought to be approved by a re-election. The mayor has done his level best to give his fellow citizens a good adminis- tration, of municipal matters, and along that line he has ucceeded fully as well a8 have most mayors who pre- ceded him. Sure Mayor Rogers has made mistakes for he is human and intelligent, arfd be it known that it has been said from time immortal that the man who could not make mis- takes was an emphatic fool. He has fitted in nicely as a war mavor and in that respect he has received desery- ed praise from the present war gov- ernor for his valuable and timely as- sistance. While an impartial mayor, he is a strict party adherent and therefore ought to get the support of his party for renomination. _which spells _election in New London, o Lots of suggestions were made, nearly all impracticable at this stage of the game. The mayor considered the little get- together meeting a success.”He wants to gzet the newspapers with him and that's why the newsmen were taken in. The mayor, and the cavtain, too, gave notice that hereafter there would be more freedom on the part of the police department in giving out information of a public nature to the news col- lectors. Provided, of course, that all the news must come from the police blotted and not from the members of the force. , Sure the police department < making a moye towards improve- ment under the direction of the mayor, ho, by virtue of his office, is chief of yolice of the city of New London, Tucked away somewhere in the big bunch of ordinances enacted by the court of common couneil is 2 little one that specifies that no committee of the court of common council shall expend a sum in excess of $300 without the invitation of competitive bids. This ordinance has been ignored more or ever since its adoption, some- times on a small ahd often oh a large scale. Recently competitiv bids sked for the paving of Howard and there is competition now on dver the selection of 2 new piece of fire apparatus, which shows that the jordinance is not wholly disregarded But in the past week a new motor- weeper. costing more 00 came to town, by order of the street committee, and for which there were no competitive bids. The new machine may be the best that could be had for the city, apd all that, but there are some citizens although not born in Missouri, who have the instincts of the Missourian, and want to be shown. 1t is semi-officially stated that were there competition in the purchase of the modern street sweeper, one that wonld answer all the. requirements, with full guarantee, could have been vurchased for more than $1,000 less jthan .the price of the present ma- {chine, and that even the one here could have been bought for less mon- ey, had there been competition. But, what's the use? When a committes ean spend more than $40,000 for a for- ry boat. without bids, why kick over a New York wh; If you are annmg fai . strike large is the normal republican majori- ty. 2 The local political talk has advanced to the point where actual candidates are being named, but no argument has been advanced why they should be nominated and the present mayor shelved without any justifiable party cause. Certainly none of the candi- dates thus far named have anything on Mayor Rogers in the qualifications essential for a successful mayor of this growing city, Alderman E. Frank Mor- gan has been mentioned. This gentle- man is chairman of the ferry commit- tec ard responsible for thz blunders made in_the induction of the ferry Nathna Hale, and also for the credit of the good work of the boat Miter ony He ig also chairman of the street com- mittee. tnd perhaps has something to do_with the finances of -the city. His rublic acts are known to his consti- tuency, but nothing has yet been shown why he ‘should be given the honor. Another candidate named is Alderman Harry C. Chappell, now very active in state defense and general war work. He is a first-class business man and perhaps would piove to be a success- ful mayor. But why shelve Rogers for him? It is said that Theodore Bodenwei the official leader of the party in the city and senatorial district, is a re- céptive candidate for the mayoralt e has surely done much to boost the city and perhaps would not make such a very bad mayor, were the present incumbent not entitled to a renomin- ation under the political custom that has always prevailed in New London. Mr. Bodenwein is the chairman of the town committee and district member of the statz central committee, and has made special study of the political game, and with some success, or he would not be the recognized of. the present time. He was eiected secre- tary of state for a couple of terms, had aspirations for consress, and years ago, would have accepted nomination for representative in_the Connecticut general assembly. He has for many years been interested in almost every move that was made for the better- ment of the city. Though never a member of the court of common coun- cil, its a safe bet that he has a keen- er’ knowledge of matters municipal than any member of that august body. It is rather early to talk local poli- tics, but it will give the dear public ample time ‘to think it over and give all who have the mayoralty fever a the nomination. chance to jump into the political ring and contest with Mayor Rogers for * Cost of Living, Some May Think * Low Prices a Thing of the Past.
