(Special to The Bulletin) New London, July 16.—Unless State Attorney Hull finds a way out no citi- zen of New London will be privileged ts. serve on the jury for the next year, from September next. This condition is due to the failura of the fhayor to ap- point a jury committee to prepare a.list for the consideration of the county jury commissioners. The law specifies that the mayor shall on the first Monday of January each year appoint three electors, two of the same political party, jhose futy it is to prepare the jury list. This was not dene. and the duty is required oniy of the mayors in cities Where the town and the elty territorfal limits -are; tdentical. In all other towns this duty devolves upon the selectmen. "It has al- ways been the custom of the selectmen of the town of New London to send in the jury list by June ¥; eaciryean The se- fectmen failed to do: that fittle thing this vear. Therefore the jury commissioners had no list from New London to consid- er. When the jury_ list is wot received by the elerk of the superfor court by June it devolves upom the.clerk, under the law, 10 50 netify the selectmen and the state attorney. This the .clerk did. The let- ters of notification wers mailed under date of June 8. and then no responsa came. Chairman Fitzpatrick of the board of selectmen sars he received the notifica- tion, but supposed it was too laté to send in the list. A little query to the eclerk of the c~ourt Wwould have -settied that| woint. The stats atterney declares | public print that he receéived no -suchj notification, but !t was sent to him by the clerk just the same. The fault is really with the selectmen as that representative body¥ of citizens Save prepared the jury lists ever since the present law became effective. They were probahly first appointed by somel mavor, as a non-partisan board and have! copsidersd it a part of their duty ever sines. It ha& become the custom. Tt may be that fome ene of the board knew ¢ the 4w reculring themayor'to appoint e fury committes annually and kept um, in order to put one over on the mayor, and to have Selectman Fitzpatrick Secars that the omission was an over- sght Therefore, unless the state at- iorney Paves a way New London wil nave the distinetion of being the only| 1own in the county, and probably in the! Mate, that wiIl be without jursmen: | There are some men among us who | forget that ther wers once young and wanted to get all there was out of the life of the vyoungster in \se way of sport. Some of these sald men are now sum‘ mering at @cean beach and would prob- ably object to the noise of the warves hesting on the beach if it could be ef- fective. These men signed a petition ! asking that the mew merry-go-round at the beach and located on private prop- erty be put out of business as the ac- companving muste was an annovance and 2 pulsance to them. It's a nickel to a ride that none of these men have chil- dren that are now ten or under, and they do not want the roung children of other men te have the fun of riding on the merry-go-round. If these men had their way the public wodld b barréd from the beach, for all that is not to their com- fort is annoyinz and a nujsance to them. Their only basls for objection” to the children’s eport is the accompanying mi sic. and this bas been ordered muffle When these gentlemen located at Oceay 2each they knew that the beach property is owned by the city, and was pur- shased as 2 public resort, and naturally at such pla ere is Table {0 be just 2 little more noise than In a church when the or=an is silent and the choir-not sing- ing. .Queer how somé men become cranky as. they grow older. The spetisl ety meeting ‘thik “week added a couple of more mills to the ‘tax rate of next year, in the passage of ap- propriations recommended by the court of common council for fira escapes for schools. to comply with the state law, ana appropriationd for the municifil, piggery and for the maintenance of tie alms- heuse. Thesz appropriations maybe all right, but just why they are.not includ- ed the annual budget is what some | of the thickest of citizens, like the writer, | cannot comprehend. The powers-that- NEW LONDON WITHOUT ANY JURY LST [ real omnibus, a relic of the old Pequot jments and suppositories will remove be cannot fool the people all of the time. and the administratjon would be in bet- ter standing with all the people if all possiblé items of expense were included in the annual budgety The frequency of city meetings are not only expensive, but are bescominz 50 bu some that the taxpayers are getting round shouldered. After the an- nual city meeting tYhen the budget is adopted the people mnaturally supposed that no more apropriations will be asked for anly in the event of some emergency that is unforseen. But it has got to be a habit to hold out some recommenda- tion for spacial ¢ty meéeting action: That was not a real bad motion of George Macdonald, made In special city meeting this week which was in effect that when th business for which the city Mmeeting~ was called is completed that the adjournment be for one month, and thereby save some of the expense .of callipg the next city meeting. Mayor Morgan ruled tN “motion out of order and ro appeal was taken. Tt is maay years since an omnibus, a real one, has been seen within the terri- torial limits of the city of New London. In the days before therse was an Os- prey beach, the predecessor of Ocean beacli was a shore resort, “Bob” Goodwin ran an omnidus line between the Paquot house and the railway’station, and closed the season by runming between Norwich and the fairgrounds. These were horse- drawg omnibuses, for in those days the automobile was a stranger. These pdssenger carrying vehicles were big affairs. The driver was perched on a sinzle seat,” parially set into the roof of the vehicle, with: small foot rest from which the brake was worked. Entrance was up a trio of ‘steps from the rear, and the door was operated by the driver by mans of a long strap or bell rope, at- tacbed to his. left :fopt,. the right. being kept free to operate the brake. A jerk at that strap was the signal to stop and after the passenger had alighteds the strap was hatiled tight by the driver un- til the next yank. It was a real ope man omnibus. - The fares Were passed to the jehu through a round aperature: back of his seat, Wiffout amy formality of registering. The present day buses were barges, or wagonettes in those days, and, like the omnibuses, horse-drawn. With the fad- ing away of the omnibuses th¥ barges came into use for the transportation ar vassengers to and ffom Osprey beach, and were fori several years conducted by an enterprising man named Burr, who, by the way, ran the first line to White beach, now Ocean beach, and at a time when the only buildings in that section was the present stoné castle of Governor Waller, and a house occupied by William Stuart, once manager of Niblo's garden in New York city. Fred Bates operated a competing line to Osprey beach, When the. trolleys came this style of ' trans- portation ended. The automobile ‘devel- oped-and the present so-called buses be- came competitors of the troiley cars. A days, would indeed be quite a curiosity in New London. Have You Piles?
