It was the first time that such stuff had been inter- jected into the business of a city meet- ing and it ought to be the'last. Spizen and politics; simply that ani nothing more. Engelbert tic several of the recommendations, and demonstrated that perhaps he is the best-posted citizen in regard to city finances. He had evidently made. a study of local finances and reeled off the figures that would have caused a less turbulent meeting to stop, 100k, dnd listen, beforer plunging the city in- to a debt that is mlmost beyond re- demption. Gevernor Waller, the dean of democ- racy and sage of city meetings, asked if -anyone present could tell the amount of the city debt, as there might be danger of the city ship be- ing stranded. This was just after he said the men at the meeting should close their eyes as they voted the sum of $70,080 for interest. Mr. Sauter stated that the city debt was cust about 33,256,000 and that some of Thi indebtedness had been taken on. i legally. Perhaps the time may come when a city meeting will be zlad to give this same Sauter man a respect- ful hearing. When health department appropria- tions were being considered, Governor Waller made an impassionate speeca, not long. but it had the real Waller ring of the long ago, that commanded men to listen with almost breathless interest. He spoke in _the highest praise of Dr. John T. Black, former health officer of the city of New Lon- Sauter, with characteria- don, now the head of the state health department. He told of the great service he rendered the city, of the es- tablishment of a health system second to none. He said Dr. Black had sac- rificed his practice for the public good had specialized in the work he now heads in the state. and vet, said the governor, the people of New London or rather the men who assembled in a city meeting, something like this, de- liberately refused to pay Dr. Black a decent, living salary, drove him away, and fortunately for him, Into a posi- tion where his ability is properly rec- ognized and his authority on matters pertaining to public health is un- questioned The total amount appropriated at the meeting to meet the budget is $856,600, an Increase of $125.000 over a year ago. The total amount of es mated recéipts s $789.262, or $76538 less than the budget. The levy will be laid later on, Then the assessors will be required to raise the amount re- quired by an increased tax rate and probably an incréase in the valuation of property As well. Tt is quite like- v that then the tax payers will sit up and regret that some heed was not taken to the sayings of Sauter. who Is the real watch-doz of the city treas- ury. The real issue of the city election outlined by some democrats who aspire to party leadership, is to de- feat P. Leroy Harwood for re-election to membership on the hoard of school visitors. Mr. Harwopd has served the city faithfully in the educational department for the past seventeen vears and as president a part of the time, and is the present incumbent of that position. A small minority of that board, not even all the democratic members. are spading the political garden to turn up. to diz up, some- thing that may be used fo create a prejudice against one of the best men for the board and the city that was ever connected with that highly im- portant city department. Mr. Harwood as president of the board has not the same opportunity to discuss questions at the meetings as has Mr. Fox or any other member, and when It comes to voting in the meeting his vote counts no more than does the vote of Mr. Fox or any other member. Because mattérs are adopted that this minority member does not like, he pushes the majority aside and rushes into city meeting, has ‘his Jittle say, in a remarkably g00d speech. and endeavors to create the impression that Mr. Harwood is the whole board. barring himself, in- timating that Mp. Harwood. republi- can, is not fit for membership on the hoard of school visitors. The democrats are determined. (that as made strong objection to. is, some democrats), to defeat - Mr. Harwood and to do this are undoubt- edly ' willing" to_sacrifice the Ghances of every other democrat on the ticket to gain that end. For that reason, if for no other, every republican in not only for Mr. Harwoo feat a regular republican nominee. feat Mr. Harwood as theer are no enough o fthem. It can’t be done with- out the ald of republicans who deser their candidate to advance the inter: ests of unappreciative democrats. I issue of the city election from the dem next Monday evening.
