 Despite the unusual vigilance of the Law and Order league in causing the Sunday law to be strictly observed on the west shore and the work of others in endeavoring to make that shore a quiet place this summer the proprietors of hotels at Savin Rock say that they have this season done better busi- ness than ever before, although many persons have thought that shore busi- Rock this summer. This same is also | true of restaurants and other places at the popular resort and especially during the latter part of July and the entire month of August all have done a business which was extremely satis- | factory. The crowds at the Rock this summer have also been unusually large but they have been quieter crowds than have been the rule in previous years This is undoubtedly due in great part to the good work of w. w. Clinton the officer detailed at Savin Rock by the borough of West Haven. MT Clinton has kept a watchful eye or ali who attempted disorderly conduct and has been obliged to make only about a half dozen arrests.

 At Savin Rock just now as we'll a West Haven politics form an absorbing topic of conversation. The knowing ones say that Judge Bryant is slatet for the senatorial nomination and ex Town Clerk Walter Main for the repub lican representative plum. The some what tangled state of borough an, town court and police affairs figur somewhat conspicuously in local poll tics and all sorts of schemes are sai, to be on foot to straighten out the mat ter. The chief course of complaint il regard to this in West Haven is tha while the court officers are town off cers the police who make arrests ar borough officials and while the borougl is obliged to pay the officers for making arrests all fines go to the town, thereb. leaving the borough on the losing sid of such transactions. The borougl people are clamoring for district bor ough court. It is said that during on month over $40 has been paid out b the borough in the way above men toned, while not a cent was taken il from the courts.
 Although Walter Main seems to hay a good chance for the nomination a representative, Charles Graham is b no means out of the field and has
