That there is need for the proposed
Improvement nobody will deny, neither
will there be denial of the urgent need
of a police signal system that would be
reliable and up to date, not experiment
tai for the special benefit of any local
electrical con Germ, especially when the
experiment has proven a failure, even
if the mayor did hint at some such
procedure The citizens in city meet
ing upon recommendation of an ex-
perienced police committee made ap-
preparation for this signal system and
it would appear to be the duty of tile
court of common council to carry out
the expressed wish of the people in
that particular. The same applies to
the completion of the paving in Wash
ington street.
Naturally there is suspicion OF spite
or revenge or a combination of the
two in the proposition to divert these
appropriations, and il is expected that
there will be opposition to the recon-
mendations of the council to the spe-
cial city meeting by taxpayers who are
favorable to the repayinS and the
building of new sidewalks in Bank
street. So perhaps the more satisfac-

Although the amendment to the city
charter which provides the sidewalks
car be laid by order of the council,
one-haf the cost to be paid by the city
and the other by the abutting property
owners, has been condemned in public
by some of the strongest political sup
porters of Mayor Mahan, the mayor
declared at the meeting of the court of
common council Monday evening that
it was the best thing that ever came
down the pike for the city of New
London, and all that il lacked for en-
forcement was an appropriation to pay
the city's portion of the expense and
that this appropriation would be made,
now being the oDGortune time to fight
out the matter to a successful finish.
At the mayors suggestion it was
voted to have a special city meeting
and ask for an appropriation of $40, 900
for new sidewalks on Bank street from
State to Howard streets, one-half of
which will be reimbursed by the prop
erty owners along the street. Il was.
also voted to recommend the paving
of Bank street for the same distance
with granite paving blocs-s, the pres
ent blocks to be broken in two and
set on end in bed of concrete and
then cemented in place. In order to
finance this matter il was arranged TO
recommend that the $4,000 voted for a
needed police signal system and the
$4,000 appropriated for completing the
brick pavement in Washington street
be diverted to the paving of Bank
street and that the balance of S12, 500
required be raised by giving the city
note for that amount.
While some of the members Of the
council mildly objected to any attempt
to divert the appropriations from the
purpose for which they were made. the
plan carried and a special city meet
ing will give final decision. As to the
result of that city meeting, leave it 10

Unless conditions change the prophe-
sled mutiny on board the city ship

her three years cruise wil not mate

Bryan II. Mahan, seems equal to any
emergency and has the crew of alder
men well in hand. At the very begin
ming of the cruise he assigned eVery
man to his post, from stem to stern,
and from keel to topmasthead. taking
special care to put men in the more
important positions wi no could be de-
pended upon to obey his commands
and keep their shipmates well in hand
thus preventing any outbreak and sub
shutting subserviency for any hidden
spirit OF Independence. Now the whole
crew is with the mayor and every
the navigation of the municipal ship
will be obeyed without question.
This was plainly demonstrated dur
ing the sail last Monday evening when
all hands and the cook were called to
muster and consideration given to
landlubber business. According to
regulations there is a regular monthly
session devoted to such matters. when
all are given the liberty to free their
minds on any matter that may be in
PRODUCED, but the crew are extremely
cautious to exercise that liberty, fear
ing after consequences and perhaps a
bread and water diet or its equivalent.
There were political differences when
the city ship was put into commission
for the present cruise, with republican,
ism in the ascendency, but this has all
been worked out under the personal
direction of the mayor and all is Sc
rene on shipboard and there is no
danger of any of the crew being dashed
to the mast for punishment, as a few
days in the brig tends to bring them
to their senses and realize that it is
best for them to do as the captain or
ders, it being a recognized fact that he
is the man at the wheel. No demo-
cratic commander ever had such a
united republican support and not ev-
cry republican commander of the Mare
Liberum had even the supper. of his
own party crew on shipboard. 1t is
well that there is no chance for dis
cord among the crew, for now the
course will be sailed just as laid out
by Commander Mahan, and don't you
forget it,

RARE OLD BILLS DISCOVERED
Colonial Notes, Long Concealed,
Found by New Yorker In a His
tory of America.

In an old "History Of America"
picked up in some remote corner of
the world years ago two old revolu-
t1onary notes were found recently by
an assistant manager Of the Hotel
knickerbocker, or rather by his little
son, the New York Sun says.
Before he settled down to the mill
tant occupation of New York hotel
keeper the owner of the book followed
the sea, having been for many years
purser on far eastern ships, and in
some port or other he picked up this
old book. For the last three years it
had lain packed in a trunk in Proyi-
dence. The trunk was not unpacked
until the other day, when, coming
across this old history, the manager
gave 1t to his son to play with. The
youngster turned over the leaves and
came across the bills.
The latter are about the size of the
"shinplasters" of generation ago and
printed on thick white paper. One
is four-dollar bill issued by the Col
ony of Maryland pursuant to an act
OF the provincial convention at An
napolis. the 18th day of December,
1775." Its number is 1850 and it bears
the signatures of ~. Duckett," or
"Dinkett," and ~. Brice." On the face
OF the note is seal containing hand
grasp1ng sheaf of wheat. Above is
the denomination, -Four Dollars"
which is explained below is equal to
IL shillings sterling" At one side is
Annapolis" and at the other is the in
formation that the bill was printed by
F. Green.
The other note is one of SO shillings
and pence, New York currency. or
one-third of dollar" 1t was printed
by Sampuel Loudin "in the year
M.DCC.LXXVI." The notice on the
back, This bill shall pass current in
all payments in this colony according
to resolution of the provincial con.
gress passed the 9Th day of March
lf76,' is signed by Abraham Van
Wyck. ~s'fs
