NEW LONDON'S POLICE DEPT. DOINGS s ) (Special to The Bulletin.) New London, Dec. 12.—Ever since e mayor and the police commiitee, -aided and abetted by the members of +2he court of common council, or & ma- {Jority thereof, succeeded in placing =on the retired list and against his will, Police Lieutenant Jeffers, and demot- ing from acting captain back to lieu- ‘‘tenant, there has been a continuous round of trouble in the department, -and in consequence the general effi- power to dismiss a police officer or to remove the sergeant’s chevron. The police heads are humans and if they persist in lookmg for trouble they can find it right in the department, but if they expeet public appraval, they ought to give every officer a fair deal, and not play favorites. The municipal management made a mis-step in selling the ferryboat Na- than Hale to tHe state of Maine, as two boats are required to accommo- date the traffic between New London and Groton, even if the state highway bridge, does reduce the profits by the automobile patronage. Even the may- or and the ferry commissioners admit that one boat cannot render the ser- vice and they plan to get another boat of smaller size in the belief that it will be an economical move. They seem.to forget that service, not profit, was a reason given by the city man- agers in taking over the ferry fran- chise for municipal management. Financially it has been a losing proposition from the start and it is hinted that the sale of the Nathan Hale was to make a better financial showing than could otherwise be pro- duced. It will help make a good pa- per showing. But the people want service, and the city of New London is required to give that service, even if it is given at'a financia] loss. Prop- erly managed, however, the ferry bus- iness ought to be self-supporting and efficient and it would be with the Hale retained on the line. When the Hale goes the equipment will be the worst ever, until the Chappells took over the franchise and paid the city a substantial rental, more than was ever received from any previous les- sees, Policeman John Cavanaugh because ~he neglected to report that a bug light ,.,on his beat failed to illmine on a cer —~tain night, which ended by the inflic- tion of a suspension for thirty days --from service, after several ineffectual attempts had been made to rismiss him from the force. The powers that be, or were, in the police department wanted Cavanaugh out the way, @as he a too zealous officer to suit them, and placed faithful duty above everything else. In this particular instance the ma- jority of the court of common council did not back up the action of the ma: or and the police committee and cap- tain of the police. They were de- voted about all of their official time to get something on Cavanaugh and in this they failed. Other members of the foree violated the rules, but the violations were overlooked. Not so in the case of Cavanaugh. His every move was watched. He proved him- self to be the best man on the force for special detective work and there was jealousy in the department on that account The powers failed to have him bounced, as they did Jeffers, but he has not been. assigned to spe- cial duty since then, The police powerg receivéd com- plaint from the outside against Ser geant Charles P. Hammond quite re- cently and he was called on the car- pet. This after the powers had fuil knowledge of Hammond's short-com- Already the people” of Groton are finding justifiable cause for complaint. The Colonel Ledyard has beén taken off the line for repairs =o as to be in fair condition when the Hale departs for down east and the Grotonians be- gin to realize that the worst is yet to come. The regular patrons are how seriously inconvenienced by reagon of only one baat being in operation on schedule time for their use. Extra trips have to be made to the Groton Tron Works to accommodate the great- er part of the 2300 men employed at that plant, and that means that the other patrons have to grin and bear the inconvenience. The Chappells had an extra boat at hand to care for the shipyard traffic but the city of New London, or the mayor and the ferrv commiissioners, seem to have rank with that old time Vanderbilt who made that immortal remark in reference to the public. It required city meeting action to make possible the purchase of the hoat re rious than any charge that could be raised against Cavanaugh. The pow- ers could not very well ignore a di- Jrect complaint againt Detective Ser- » geant Hammond, although they hush- ed up more than one indirect com- plaint against the sergeant. He went humble calling him; about christian brother, and without provocation. The man- | ager and a clerk and a naval officer | were in the store, and the window washer decided that with such repu- table and disinterested witnesses he ~might get satisfaction tinged with by making complaint to the d the police committee.
