Next State - Election—Little Chance For Democratic Representatives—A. T. Miner (Spectal to The Bulletin.) June 7.—Although busied in matiers pertaining to government restrictions in regard to the soldiers and, sailors that are very much in evidence in the city of New London, with spectal ref- erence to bootlegging and immoral conditions, members of the polica de- partment of the city find time to spe- «¢ialize in the enforcement of soms fea- tures of the complicated automobile laws. Automobile operators take chances when they park machines in forbidden sections, when. autom are left a distance from the cu: and when they are left not properiy lighted. In this latter particular ail automobiles look alike to the police of- ficers and the owners are notified to appear in police court and pay ths pen- 4lty, no matter whether the owners be a Vanderbilt, a Kirkland, a Landers John Smith, or any other man. They show mno partiality and that is as it should be. But there are other and cre serfous violations of the automo- bile lawe that seem to be unhead~d Ly these same police officers. Teafires ‘that are a menace to life and limb. Machines are permitted to be operated mot property lighted, or not lignted at 1, and to be absolutely recklessly riven. If there is no section more than an- ather where the automobiles are per- mitted to violate the' law in regacd to lights, overspeeding and rackless driving, that section is Ocean avenue which seems to have been selected as the speedway. On a single evening during the present week and for a pe- #od of one hour, four automobiles driven withont any lights, thre: out tail lights, seventeen at r~ speed and four actual races, and all mardless of the public safety. This condition did not exist when Police- man Smith was acting as the motor- cycle cop. The violators of law socn realized that Smith was on his i they governed themselves accord and the resident of the avenu correspondingly safe, as did all operated automobiles within the What has become of the moto and the motorcycle cop? Have both been sunk into oblivion by the rafo-mn- ed and alleged to be improved police department? avenues, while more- than one strang- er has had bumps at that point anl in a few instances have been put nt the expense of repairing springs. This condition has e: for more than two months and h ceived no attention from the highwav department. Perhaps when a bii or two is presented the city for dan.cges caused by a defective highway that de- partment may rub eyes, get busy, and make needed repairs. Perhaps, ch2 gas and electric light company is respon- sible for the defects, but the city would have to defend the suits if brought. There was a leak in the gas main 3t the junction of these two avenues last winter and the company made severai attempts to find and stop the laak. so doing they damaged the hig! but never stopped that leak. Tt there and the stench at times is al- most unbearable, and a menace t> the health. Sometimes the stenca is stronger than others, but it is there just the same and a nuisance t e neighborhood. There is an ord that requires the gas company te roads in good condition after d in the same, and the health offic full authority to have the com eliminate the unhealthy nui : Therefore the existing corditions ought to be improved forthwith.

There was no intention of side-tracking ‘him. He has served for many years in the court of common council and is thoroughly posted on municipal affairs and could fill the honorable position with henor and ability. But he is a democrat and that settles his mayoralty ambitions, if any he has. The present ic not a democratic year in local politics un- less all signs fail. The Walter T.

F In the days that have gone, Aborn hall | i and Lawrence hall were competitors as places of amusements, that resulted | &N in the former being used almost ex- | clusively for dances, while Lawrence | hall was devoted to general amuse- ments, specializing minstrelsy and theatricals. _Perhaps the first German play ever ndon was in Aborn | hall ang the players spoke their v i . The play was given und the direction of Professor A. Jantz, who was organist in the Cathelic church and general music teacher in fthe city.
