without an increase in cars and crews,

Mayor Armstrong has stated his po-
sitlon plainly in the proposed new city
and county building matter, and an
nounces that he does not propose to
try to influence anyone as to their ac-
ton. All that he has done has been
in compliance with the expressed
wishes of the people and the venomous
darts Of carplng critics will have no
effect upon him, he says. He has re-
ceived a petition for a special city
meeting for a farther consideration of
the subject and as the required num-
Der of signatures are affixed he is re-
CURED to call that meeting, and, after
consultation with the corporation
counsel, has decided that the meeting
will be held Monday, Feb. 8, that date
being convenient for those most con-
cerned. Personally, he would prefer
some other date, as he will be unable
to be in New London on that day. So
Seaior Alderman Downey will preside
at the session and the mayor cannot be
charged with attempting to defeat
those who are opposed to beautifying
the city with a building that is much
needed for city and court purposes, the
basis of some of the opposers being
that the credit of the building inn
provement must not be credited to

There are citizens of excellent stand
ing in New London, men who are con-
sidered thoroughly representative. who
really advocate expanding within S25,-

for the new building in making repairs
to wooden building 224 years old aud
to a brOwnstOne structure built over
fifty years ago! These gentlemen will
actually favor such action in the spe-
cial city meeting. and then their less
enlightened followers wonder why New
London doesn't progress, doesn't grow
as fast and healthy as some other
cities Norwich, for instance.
