(Special to The Bulletin) New London, May 28, — There is at one industry in the city and right the populous section, that is of but little benefit to the municipality & detriment to the neighborhood re it is lecated. It has been there decade or more and numerous com- ts have been ‘filed against it, but to date the protestations have been by the health department.

Within a radius f two hundred feet of the plant are at soventy-five families and every ymber thereof would feel more content d happy were what they term as a| uisance removed to a more distant lo- tion. Some of the nearby residents ive_ alleged that a pull with the pow- rs has Kkept that place just where it for so many years. = % When Dr. Mitchell came to town and %ook charge of the health department was supposed that he would be free influences that favored this sort of n industry in & populous center.

There is still room for just are pl a little bit more of improvement in the | g police department of the city of New London J The time was in old New London when the maVrity of the families kept a pig or two, and swme families kept more, d it was common sight for kids to be seen going through the streets with a swill pail gathering in food to fatten the “porkers. There were actually pig colonies and one of these was located in Water street, on the riverside not far from John street.’ There were probably twenty pig pens in that colony, the own- ers of the pigs and pens having squatted on the land for piggery purposes only. There was probably not a barn in the city that did not have pigs he lower section, It was a se” of pigs here, there and everywhere.

But when the city prop- er ignores: the ordinance how can a com- mon everyday citizen be expected to ob- serve the city law in that particular regard? The almshouse, now_ politely. cailed Hillside farm, copying that name from other cities, has its full quota of pigs. This well-conducted institution is well within the city limits and is under the control of a committee of the court of common council. Should the fellow who owns adjoining property attempt to go into the pig raising business he would probably be arrested and arraigned in_the -police court for violation of city ordinance. ~ This anti-pig law is' appli- cable to the whole city. and not to any selected section thereof. And now comes along an old codger who declares that ltha municipal piggery is located within the limits of the city of New London!

"A DAY OF REAL SIGNIFICANCE This year Memorial Day takes on a new, larger significance than ever before. We pause from the busy activities of our every-day life to pay honor to the vetirans and the dead of two great wars. Both wars were fought to precerve the integrity of the American home—in both were men's lives freely laid on the altar of fruedom. Today, the least that those of us can do who are now enjoying the benefits their sacrifice made -pos- sible, is to pay them a tribute of resp:ct and honor. May the homes they died to save reflect the spirit of true democracy, may their names be hal- lowed in our memory with the passing of yzars. All honor to the veterans, to our flag and our natien on this Memorial Day !
