 Then the issue would be put plain ly before the citizens of both towns and the matter would be decided by direct vote of the people, and the mayor-semator says he hasnno doubt as to the result. It Is absolutely nec- essary that New London should grow, as she las been stunted altogether too long. In order to grow, there must be room for growth, and that can only be had by the, annexation of Water ford. So it has got to come, and the time for it's coming is NOW. The am nexatfon, the park system and the new sidewalk proposition are to be con- sidered by legislative committees, and at each of the hearings the mayor senator will be supported by commit tees representing the court of common council, the New London board. of trade and the New London Business Mems association and the citizens generally.
