Norwich bulletin., 1909-02-24

and it prevails in all cities irrespec-
tive of location or size of population.
The city is the focus of the locality
where il is placed. Every city has
the advantages of every other city. the
problems varying in intensity but not
in kind. A few men did things in old
en- times, but while great men do their
work now yet the modern city Is not the
product of a few individuals. New
city charters are now occupying big
share in the work of the legislatures.
The future of the United States is
not wrapped up in any one citv but
in all of them.
The time has gone by when a city
government can amount to anything
except through scientific and economi-
cal principles. The reason is econom-
ical and not political. The cities are
demanding so much that unless hon
esty and economics enter in IL cannot
be done. The future must be planned
for, and he told of public bath houses,
play grounds and other great things
which are being done there. The great
est tumble. he said. is the liquor leg
islation. People stay IN a city where
modern methods are pushed and in
dustries can be secured for just that
reason.
Senator SearIs Heard.
The closing speaker was Senator
Searls Of Putnam, who interested in
a few stories well told and spoke up
on the work of the legislature. Therg
are 500 bills introduced into the leg
islature and Of the number each SEES,
sion, it can be fairly said one-quartel
are vicious one-half useless and the
remainder worth something. It is oft
en- the worthless ones are passed and
the good ones turned down. He told
Of the workings and spoke on legisla-
ton in general concluding with stat
ing that Norwich has always had a
glorious record in political or social
circles. He recalled as a young man
Governor Buckingham, Judge Foster
jeremiah Halsey Co. J. 7. Waite and
Judge Hovey. Any resident Of Nor
witch can proudly say Il am a citizen
Of Norwich" Norwich Will lead i'm
all things good and be an upllft to
the state.
