A, R. hall A prayer service: for Hugh Clark Murray was held at his heme at 11 o'clock Friday mornirig by Rev. Harry S. McCready, after Which the body. was taken to the First - Cpngregational church, where it lay- in state during the house of 12 to 1 o'clock, many hun- dreds visiting the chureh. The funeral services, which were most impressive, were held at 2 o'clock and were at- tended by.a large number of relatives, friends and acquaintances. There were many beautiful- floral tributes banked about the casket and front of the plat- form. Rev. Harry S. McCready, pastor of the church, conducted the services, during which he eulogized the integ- rity, honesty and upright life of Mr. Murray, saying: What President Elliott calls the greatest text in the Old Testament, | “What doth. the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, to love kindness and to walk humbly with thy God?” Per- haps no life known to this community | more finly exemplifies these _sterling qualities—the qualities of fundamental religion, essential Christianity. Look at this sheaf of virtues: “To Do Justly” Our brother was the incarnation of honesty: like Abra- ham Lincoln, it might be said that he was stubbornly henest. Within the memory of those who knew him most intimately there is no transaction or sale which in the light of highest ideals of honor and integrity should in any detail be changed. Those who worked for him knew that he insisted upon perfect goods, fair prices and exact measure. To exemplify in all of one's dealings justice, is to leave to-the community an unfading ideal, a lasting inspiration. “Po Love Kindness.” Mr. Murray was a friendly man. Neighborliness wa snatural and genuine. He had close friends and he held them; his neighbors and business associates wel- comed his kindly greetings on the street and in the store. I would say that he had the soul of a gentleman. He was uniformly courteous; he re- fused to speak ill of those whom he could not praise; like all true gentle- men, he was democratic; with him a man wa sa man “for a' that and a’ that” Regardless of color and creed, all men alike regeived just and kindly treatment from him. “To Walk Humbly With Thy God." He would have disclaimed his right to these words of praise. He was a very humble man; in business not given to advertising (not needing to advertise) his chief business asset: personal hon- or; in religion, most unostentatiots— a devout worshipper, always desiring to give expression to his faith and hope by deeds rather than by words; in his home life, the kind husband walked humbly day by day with his God. And as he lived, he died—quietly, beautifully, the transition came; it seemed little more than,an incident in one of his ordinary, quiet days. He fell asleep but he has waked. You recall those beautiful lines: Life! we've been long together Through pleasant .and through cloudy weather; 'Tis hard to- part when friends are dear, Perhaps 'twill cost a sigh, a tear; Then steal away, give little warning, Choose thine own time; Say not “Good night” but brighter eclime, Bid me “Good mornin; in some Hugh Clark Murray has greeted his unseen pilot with a cheer; the day of his release wa sa sunny day—without TORTURED BY RHEUMATISH “FRUIT-A-TIVES” Brought Qui and Permanent Relief il A MR, P, H.

New London, June 20—The local agent of the bond brokerage firm that took over the city bonds to the amount of $317,000 disposed of by the court of common council, which action was ‘disapproved in- city meeting and direction given that the council make affort to have the transaction eancelled s0 that the bond might be regularly advertised and sold to the highest re- sponsible bidded, was not slow in| sensing the situation and magnan mously relieved the city of the obli- gation to stand by the action of the court of common council. As a result the court of common council has in like appreciative manner rescinded the vote to sell the bonds to that partieu- | lar firm, and they will now We offered | to the highest bidded. | The city officials who managed that | sale. acknowledged the error and apoligized in city meeting and now | the bonds may be dispossed of in the orderly and the legitimate way. There was doubt from the start of the as- sumed authority of the council to bond | the city without the zction of the peo- ple in city meeting assembled. 1 There were approximately a dozen bond bills presented to the legislature from New London and at the hearing tee, at which the mayor, the corpora- tion counsel and other officials were present, it was suggested that the bills be bunched and that they all be em- bodied into two bills and this was done by the committee before presen- tation to the legislatiure for action. Sure some of these measures pro- vided that before the bomds could be issued that they must not enly be fa- vored by the court of common coun- cil, but also by city meeting. It is not believed that the special isue of $317,- 000 was omitted in the restrictions. Perhaps that in part accounts for the magnanimous action of the bonding company. These concerns are very particular when purchasing municipal bonds and perhaps were not slow to see that all the legal require- ments had not been st:tly complied with, and that their vaiue might Abe questioned. After all the intervention of Former Mayor Benjamin L. L. Armstrong may have been beneficial to all concerned. The present city administratien is surely the most liberal in the expen- diture of public money. that ever managed _the municinal affairs for the city of New London. The -members appreciate the high cost of living and haye raised the salaries of about every person on the city pay roll, elective and appointive. Now there is in the works an increase of §150 in the pay of every school teacher, except the prine pals and special teachers! The com- mon peeple are wondering why the ex- ception is made. The salaries were supposed to have been fairly adjust- ed and if there is to be a change it should not he confined to any favored class. The principals and special teachers are sure worthy of equal consideration, and in fact it is more essential to have competent people at the head of the department, to direct the efficient work and meet the responsibility, than to have the average teachers at in- creased pay. If there is to he more pay for teachers, it should not be confin- ed to a certain class, and those high- er up be ignored. The policemen are out for more pay, the increase of a few Months ago not being aniple to meét the expenses in- cidental to_the high cost of living, so they They surely ought to know. The guardians of the law . are modest in, their request, made no demand and NEW LONDON'S MUNICIPAL AFFAIRS rassured by the police committee that | change for the better, it can come none | | before the legislative finance commit- | | | twelve hours, seven days a week, no | their request will be granted, on the ground that if good men age wanted on the police force they must receive good pay. They only ask for an in- crease of $25 a month, every one of them, from captain down to the station house keepers. The policemen now get more pay than the majority of so-called salaried | men, men who are supposed- to have almost as much intelligence as the or- dinary policeman, and who are re-, quired to work a great many more hours than the New London policemen. That is no reason, however, why the | policemen ought not to recive a big increase in pay. Those who are supposed to know declare that the New London police- men receive less pay than the mem- bers of any other department in the state. If that be so, the sooner the adyance is given the better, as the good name of the Seaside City is at stake. The local department has been in the public eve for a long time, and not to the advantage of the depart- ment. If more pay will result in a too soon. The rate of pay at present is: Captain, $130 a month; lieutenant, | $125; sergeants, $120; patrolmen, $115. Lest it be forgotten. The pay of the | rivers of the local motor fire appa- | ratus is about half what is handed | over to policemen, and pot for an eight hour day. The firelen's day is | day off a month and no vacation. Now that salaries are on the rise, don’t for- get the firemen who run the motor ap- paratus, the only paid men in the de- partment, barring the chief and assist- ants. Take these firemen in while the taking is good. After a reconsideration on the part of the board of school visitors and the views of Alderman Harry C. Chappell, the conclugion has been reached to include thée principals and_special teachers in the salary raise. It is ex- pected that an appropriation to that end will be included in the annual budget as there is no intention to raise the pay during the present school year. The proposed raise was: put forth as a feelqr the * board _of school visitors to ascertain whether the project would be received with favor by the court of common council that prepares the budget and recom- mends the appropriations. When the request of the policemen for more pay reached the council no opposition developed to a general in- crease but there was question as to the amount. Alderman Chappell. chairman of the police committee, said he believed an increase in pay ought to be made, yet he did not favor the sum of $25 a month at a single jump just the proper thing at this time, He was in favor of a monthly increase of $15 a month. It is therefore quite probable that Alderman Chappell's plan will prevail. It is understood that such matters in the police department are retroactive and will carry a com- parative increase in nension to the of- ficers on the retired list, including the officer who was penalized for heing caught drinking in a. saloon while on duty by being placed on the retired, or horor roll, of the department and to receive el pay for the rest of his e. : That particular officer profited by that sort of punishment, for in addi- tlon to the coin he receives from the eity he is regularly engaged in active employment elsewhere. It sure was a biunder of the police department to put that officer on the retired list. He ought to have been bounced forth- with. His name is not Cavanaugh, for Cavanaugh is a strict total ab- stainer.
