Most increasing Community h State
mission Government Best or Worst Thing Accord
ing to Those Elected.

Trumbull in the New York Sunday
Herald had the following to say re-
garding the plan of commission gov
eminent which Norwich is going to
have a chance to say whether it wants
or not:
The legislative committee ON cities
and boroughs approves of the commits
sion plan of government which Nor
wfch wishes to try out in place of the
prevailing municipal system. From the
first the proposal has enjoyed the en-
thusiastic approval of all classes there
and the committee now says that the
commission plan may be adopted and
enforced n upon a popular vote the
people say they want it,
If the general assembly supports the
report of the committee. and it is diff
cult to see why it should not, and the
people of that city approve the plan
as it comes from the Legislature, Con-
necticut will be afforded the spectacle
of a large community being governed
on the commission plan. The popula-
ton of Norwich is in excess Of $4,000.
The nearest town in population to try
out the principle is that of Manches-
ter Its population is in excess of
10000. But there is this difference
between them: Manchester has never
taken a shy at the municipal form OF
local government. If I am not mis-
taken, when the idea was submitted to
the voters OIL the tONn tIScy rejected It,
preferring to live under the old New
England town government brought UP
to date. Norwich, on tho other hand,
has been incorporated as a city since
1854. Its transfer, therefore, from a
city to a snug commissioned COM
munity partakes OF a revolution. 1t is
that. in fact. which makes the expert
ment interesting and important to all
thoughtful men.
1t has long been the judgment OF
the business men of Norwich that the
community was not getting what it
ought to get in the way of government
from the expenditure of money made.
The waste from the municipal form of
government has upon study become
more and more evident. Likely enough
the experience Of Manchester has had
its influence upon the Norwich mind
for thers one of the best and most eff
cient local governments in the state
is to be found on constant exhibition.
Internationally Norwich has been fas-
cinated by the results of commission
government as worked out in more
than a hundred and fifty cities in the
country. At any rate, it is now vir-

tually promised q chance to try cut the
principle. The plan adopted is simple
and calls for five directors, one of them
to be the mayor. The other directors
will have oversight of the public utili-
ties-Norwich owns its own illuminat-
ing planfs-finance. public works and
public safety. To become mayor a
candidate must have lived five years
in the town and in the-city at least
one year preceding election An eight
hour day for all city iaborers is pro-
vided for. The right of the initiative,
referendum and recall is granted. This
will be the first time in the history of
Connecticut that these modern political
implements have been introduced. and
as first hand evidence is the most at
tractive to the conservative citizens of
Connecticut, the influence of them will
be eagerly watched The plan also in
cludes civil service provision. Hith-
erto New Haven has been the only
city in the state to reiysupon the merit
system of control in all clerical APP
pointments.
This is reducing the responsibility of
government to business basis in all
that that term indicates. If the plan
is finally adopted and enforced the
people of Norwich will find that they
have taken into their own hands their
political fate for better or worse. 1t
will be plainly UP to them to have
good government, for the best kind of
government can be had under their
scheme If they will but exercise the
care and judgment they ought to ex-
ercise in making the five nominations

sion plan is the best thing in the world
for a bunch of grafters if they get in

provides for community an oppor-
tunity to put to a full and complete
test the fundamental principles of a
democracy and to make. too. test OF
the intelligence of the electorate.
1t goes without sayins, that from the
moment Norwich comes under the
commission plan of local government
it becomes at once the most interest
ing community in the state to watch
There will be tried out the ideas and
ideals that have been taught by the
philosophers for many years. If sue

Fire in Storehouse Of Norwich Belt
1885, Ccmpany-Personal Notes.

An alarm for fire in a storehouse
in the rear of the tannery was rung
in from private box No. 243 shortly
after IL o'clock Sunday morning and
an alarm was also sent in from box
No. 20. located at the corner of. Elev
enth street and Central avenue, by
some one who did not know that a
call, had been sent in from No. 243.
The Central station responded to the
alarm, as did both the local compa-
mics, Engine Co. No. 2 and Truck Co.
No. 2, and Chemical Co. No. from
the Main street station. When the
second alarm was rung in, Chemical
No. 2. from the West Side, started for
the scene of action, but in crossing the
car tracks in front of the Bost IN
store on Main street. a wheel caught
in the frog Of the switch and the car
riage struck an electric light pole. The
wagon was somewhat damaged but
was not put out of commission. The
fire was first discovered by the watch
man and was extinguished in about
twenty minutes after the arrival of
the apparatus. The building was used
for storing salt hides. and the loss will
probably not exceed $50. The fire was
started from the outside and at the
end of the storehouse.
Engine Co. No. 2 responded to a still
alarm for a fire in the barn in the rear
of the property occupied by A. La
cavera, on North Main street, at $50
o'clock Sunday evening. Several small
garden hoses were turned on the blaze
which was put out with little trouble.
The fire started in some hay in a
small shed The loss was small.
