Hflt LONDON NEEDS MORE POLICEMEN Clm*innq Say There is no Opportumty For Improve- ‘! With Present Number—Politics as Persistent as Ever—Special Train to Be Run For Workmen—Where it is Thought Government Houses Will Be Erected. . (Special to The Bulletin.) New Tonden, July 19.—Captain Pin- -ney. of thé New london police depart- ment, has issued the “Move On” order and jt” hag, bee carried oh to every pol cer in the city uniformed and un , But it has not prevented the on' the curb along Bank b rFSt&te. nor in State street, the points wherein the order is suppos- ed to.be enforced to the lefter. The pol issué the ord[;r &l&d th: parties addressed observe the order an do mv’g on, but their ..places are quickly others, and the nui- fjust as it has since the old men of today New London, when f'points were the Lyons and corners, that is Bank and nd Main and State str ¥ the population was 10,- 000, few transients, and the @il be enforced so long as the officers desired continuance - of the order. _Sinee then at stated periods the move on order has been-tried out but never to-a successful issue. Now with a_ population of at least 33,000, and :Imou. Sfs*many more transients, the na ace has extended from the com the old days to almost the entire. Jefigth of State street, both sides, and in- Bank street from State to Tilley nd. R ¥ 4 e The police officers surely do the best they can to rid the city of the loiter- ing nuisance after the day's work is done, but the force is inadequate for the ce¢asion. /To accomplish the task licemen would have to be statiomed at a distance of ten feet apartsand ;then they would be busy. The farce-is practically of the same size as it was before New Nondon took preminent place on the war preparation map,-and it. cannot be’ expected that such a small force can copé with such 2 big job suevessfully, especially when other sections of the city demand po- lice protection. The wonder is that the police gét along so well, with the population trebled and more transients than ever, ircluding thousands of sailors. and iers. Captain Pinney has notified #8€ Shief of police, Mayor Rogers, and’ p thembers of the police committe; that ‘there is no oppor- tunity te POYS the police conditions without imefeasing the number of men on the forceiAll told there are not twenty-five" on the force, day and night, eombined, and the beats to which some ‘are assizned cannot be | covered durihg a night tour of duty at the ordinary policeman’s gait. To be of any service to the public, the beats ought to be covered leisurely, so that the officers could make careful servation as they pass aiong, and bave a couple of eves on the look-out for evil-daers instead of upon their time pieces“so” that the beats can be covereq on schedule time. It is more than passing queer, that with the world at war, and New Lon- ob- | don_ doing its full share of all that tends to patriotic' effort, that poutlcs #ill not down in.the old whale town. 'T'was ever thus, and ever. thus ‘twill be, especially among the democrats, With such state-wide politicians as Governor Waller voluntarily out of the game, Former Mayor Mahan following suit, and other lesser lights following in their wake, ‘the political play pro- ceéds just the same. As ever there are two factions, perhaps three, and the.more the merrier for the fol- lowers of the game, some who break personn¥ friendships = just for the thankless task of boosting the other fellow. Just at the present time the cards are on the political table in the mayoralty game, with the chief hands held by Alton T. Miner and John F. Murray. So at the present time the two known factions are designated as Minorites and Murrayites and are playing the game to the limit, not a wifle-open game but a sort of card- up-the-sleeve affair and into the sup- porters of each passing the sign to his favorite in thne hope of winning the points in the ward caucus and city convention. Tf some other New Lon- don democrats were "at the political tahl there would be designation of the Mahan faction' back of Miner and the Farrell, faction backing Murray. This is well-known to the average democrat and the real personality of the com- peting candidates passes away. In the past and regardless of law and its penalties many in New Lon- don have participated in ward caucus who have not registered their political preferment. In so doing they took a chance and got away with it. But in the future caucus lists are liable to be used and only those who have ceomplied with the law will be per- mitted to participate, Every full- fledged voter will have an opportunity before the next caucuses are called to register their political preferment which carries with it the privilege to participate in the caucus of the party with which they are affiliated.” All others' are legally barred from caucus participation. This law was enforced on at least one ward in selecting delezates to the city convention that named delegates to the several conventions re- cently, and is liable to be carried to the limit in the forthcoming political caucuses, In order to relicve . the congested condition in regard to the housing of workmen employed in the local indus- tries, the N Londen Commerce has been agitating the run- ning of a special- train London and Saybrook for the accom- modation of the workmen. There ‘both| Chamber of between New are near future. In the meantime, repre- em.a.dves of the federal govetiment Nre in the city arranging for the erec- tion of a large number of houses to rent to parties employed on work for the government. Enterprising citizens had formed a - company, with & capitai of $200,000 for the purpose of entering into a sort of co-partnership with the government in the erection of these workingmen's residences. Now announcement is made that the gov- ernment will go it alone and the buildings will be erected under gov- ernment agents to have full charge of the structures. All the government asks from the city is the privilege of laying out streets, the induction of water service,.gas mains and opportu- nity for electric service. The eity will grant all that, the government asks for and render whatever aid possible to the needed enterprise. b Just where these houses are to be erected is not known locally and so far as known, no operations have been ‘taken for the building sites. From governmental requests made, it is plain_ that the buildings will be all in the same locality, and in a section not now open for building purposes. It is surmised, however, that the buildings will be located in the Jefferson avenue section, where there is a large amount of land well adapted for the purpose. There are three large plots, closely connected and it is believed the gov- ernment will take the whole or a part of this'great tract. The land is so ar- ranged that as Josh Whitcomb used to say, could readily be “cut up into building lots.” The government offi cials have indicated that the plane are completed for the new buildings and it is hoped that the work of con- struction will begin ,very soon. In er- der that the work may be facilitated, Mayer Rogers has informed the offi cials in charge, that he will call a special council or city meeting. which- ever may be required. to grant to the government all that is asked for, and to give any possible aid in making the venture all that it is intended. Should the government residences tion it will mean the cofiplete de- velopment for federal purpcses. This avenue was originzlly known as Cape Ann lanc and there was much regret i ns then in power in the ucceeded in changing the name which meant so much to the early history of the town to the pres- ent name in honor of a former demo- cratic president. This latter name was never popular and its change to some other name, app e to the tireds would be acceptable.

WORK WEARS ON' THE KIDNEYS Doan’s Kidney Pills Have Done Great Service for People Who Work in Norwich. Many Norwich people work: every day in some strained, unnatural posi- —riding on jolting' wagons or cars— going laborious housework; lifting, reaching or pulling, or trying the back in a hundred and one other ways. All these strains tend to wear, weaken and injure the kidneys until they all be- hind in their work of filtering the poisons from the blood. Doan’s.Kid- ney Pills are for weak kidneys and bad backs. Their effective work in Norwich is convincing proof of merit. Mrs. R. Ladd, 422. Central -Ave,, says: “There was a dull, tired feel- ing in my back across my kidneys and when I was doing my housework, my back ached and felt numb. Stooping caused pains across my back and my back was so weak, I often had to sit down to rest. One box of Doan’'s Kid- ney Pilis corrected the trouble.” Price 60c, nt all dealers.
