Engineers Are Highest Paid in the
 United States.


 As one of the railroads interested in the demands for increased pay made by the locomotive engineers. the New Haven railroad offices issued the fol lowing,
 Tn view of the locomotive engineers wage discussion and Grand Chief Stones claim that an engineers nav IS not commensurate with the respOn- slplllty he has to bear, railroad men are calling attention to d report made by Special Agent Ames of the inter- state commerce commission. His re- port is on the average wages Daid railway employees in England. Com pared with the report of the average wages paid to railway employees in t6a united States it makes interesting reading. For instance:
 England day of twelve hours engineers $1.55; firemen 96c; conduc- tors $121; brakemen 95c; switchmen 94c. United States-Per day of ten hours egineers $4.S0; fremen $2S5: conduc- tors $4.11; bra1emen $2.S1; switchmen $2.80.
 From these figures fair idea is gained of average pay of British rail- way labor.
 On the railways of Belgium which are owned by the government. ffremen receive $15.2O to $228O per month: the higher only after fifteen years of service. Engineers begin at $22. per month and at the end of four years service work up to $38 per month. Conductors earn from $1797 per month up to a maximum of $3470. Brakemen begin as /switchmen at 45 cents per day. When promoted they receive S1L1O per month and work up to S22 per month. The average railway work CT in Belgium receives 223 francs or A cents a day"

It is recorded that once upon a time a member of the court of common council of the city of New London re-
 signed to become @ member of the police force, and on another occasion member resigned so that he could accept a contract to build the police
 station house, and on divers other oc- casions members have felt like resign ing as their membership debarred them
 from doing city work for which they would receive pay, no matter whether the amount was under $500, the mini- mum sum that could be expended with out asking for bids. In those times
 this special feature of the citys busi- ness received the strictest adherence.
 Now these conditions have changed and perhaps it is well that it is so, for
 otherwise the city might be deprived of l service that none could furnish so well
 as members of the court of common l council An illustrative fact is given in substantiatiOn just at the present time in connection with the changes in 1 the city hall building.

OANIELSON AND PUTNAM NEWS

There is considerable speculation among Danielson men who would like to go out and play Sunday baseball not to charge admissions, but just for the pastime-as to just what will hap pen to them if they try the eXperi- ment, knowing that the law forbids the practice Their argument in sup port of their desire to play is that they are employed steadily six days a week and if they play baseball at all as many of them dearly like to, they must play on Sunday.

As it was, the officer at the desk in the police station could only hunt through tho telephone directory and locate some store in the vicinity and make request that a lookout be kept for a passing cop and to give him the tip that a robbery had been commit ted. Such a method is more in keep ing with the times when the lantern was in common use in the streets in the days before gas and electric lighted streets rather than with a modern and progressive city such as New London is supposed to be. There is as much actual need for a police signal system as there is for an en- larged city hall and the cost would not be one-fifth of what rhe incdentals connectea with the city hall will figure up on the reckoning day.

All Harry Franklin Saved After an
 Experience at High Rolling.

Harry Franklin, a name that may be assumed in the emergency. was fined 8, after he had pleaded guilty to charge of intoxication, by Judge L. II. Fuller in the city court Friday. Franklin was no ordinary drunk. He had about SAP in his pockets when ar rested and, according to his story. about $l60 some time before he was locked up Thursday night. Judge Fuller asked him if he did not con sider he had been indulging in a rath
 CT expensive pastime. Franklin ad- mitted that he had and that he must have enjoyed a mighty interesting time considering what it had cost him: but he allowed that he held no recollec- ton of anything that occurred be- tween certain time Thursday and the hour of his awakening in a police cell. Franklin, 35, claimed Worcester as his home. He gave no satisfactory explanation for being in Putnam. He was arrested because he was creating a disturbance at a local hotel.

miscellaneous or some other conveu- lent appropriation for the construction of a temporary vault in the basement of the wooden county court house. This sum would go quite a way in rental of a safety deposit section of one or more of the local bank buildings where the records would be secure from fire or loss by other means. Of course the committee in charge will keep a record of all these little incidentals and make reference to the extras when making final report of the total cost of the re- building of the city hall to the people who pay the freight.
 The failure of the city fathers to provide police signal system, especial ly after specific appropriation was made is coming in for it's share of semi occasional public criticism On one of the brightest moonlight even- ings of the present week a black man snatched a handbag containing several dollars from a lady while in a much travelled and well-lighted street. The fact was quickly reported to the police station by telephone, but that ended all direct efforts to aid in the cap ture of the thief for before headouar- ters could get in communication with officers the thief had ample opportuni- ty to get well out of the jurisdiction of the local police If that much needed police signal had been installed to re- place the system that proved to be a failure the police in the section of the safe keeping of records during the building period. This is made plain by scene of the robbery would have re- ceived almost immediate information
