GRAND ARMY.

Perhaps the last opportunity tbe city of Bridgeport will have to pay honor 10 the aged veterans of the civil war will be found in the state encanp- nent of the Grand Army of the Re- public in that city Friday and Satur- day, April 19 and 20.
 Bridgeporters, especially those iden- tified with patriotic organizations, plan to make the reception to the gallant old soldiers one they will cherish as pleasant memory of worthy recognt- tion.
 The members of Elias Howe, Jr. post, G. A. R., one of the most pro- gressive of the few surviving groups of civil war veterans, have taken lp the project of entertaining the vis- itors.
 Following is the call of the post to the citizens of Bridgeport:
 "The state encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic will be held in Bridgeport Friday and Satur- day, April 19 and 20, 1912. Elias Howe, Jr.. post. No. 8, G. A. R., will act as host on this occasion. It ts expected that between 300 and 400 vet erans of the civil war will sattend this encampment, the post is to furnish a collation and campfire to those in attendance.
 This G. A. R. encampment may be the last to meet in this city, as the ranks of the veterans are being fast depleted, and the numbers are grow ing alarmingly smaller each year."

and it has been freely expressed that steam fire engine is needed in that section. There is but one steamer in tn city and that is located in Niagara engine house. The Niagaras have also the first automobile chemical and hose wagon that was ever used in fire department in the United States and the members paid S5.500 of their good money for that apparatus and gave 1t over to the use of the city, under the orders of the chief and on the same conditions as apparatus owned by the city The company is willing to turn this machine in as part pay ment for the new, modern machine, and the amount allowed added to the appropriation made would be sufficient to purchase the new apparatus. If the committee decided that it would be best for the city to have the Niagara steamer taken to the Northwest that could be very easily done.
 It has been demonstrated beyond question that the proper place for a modern apparatus is at the same place where the present out auto mobile is located; and, further, the company that made it possible for the city to have automobile fire pro lection should be taken into consider alton. Even under the present con ditions the proposed new machine could be cared for and operated with out any increase in the present ex- penses of maintenance.

CREAM PUFFs FOR EASTER.

Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: You see, ] cannot keep out of the Cor ner very long; but I will make the let ter brief, as our kind Editor informs us that letters are waiting to be print ed and we are anxious to read them all.
 l wanted Sister Bluebird of Plain field to have the recipe she asked for so she could have homemade Cream Puffs for Easter.
 Cream Putfs-Boil together one cup hot water and one-half cup of butter. stirring in one cup of dry flour while boiling. When this is cold. add three eggs, not beaten; stir we'll; drop by tablespoons on buttered tins, bake 20 minutes in quick oven, being careful not to open the oven door oftener than necessary, as that will make them fall, This recipe makes 15 puffs.
 For the cream, take one cup of milk. one-haf cup of sugar, one egg and three tablespoons of flour. Boil as for any custard and flavor to taste. When both the puffs and the custard are cold. open puffs carefully on the side and i'll.
 These are delicious and not at all difficult to make.
 With best wishes for a joyful Easter to- all members of the Social Corner family, from FAYE VERNA.

tive, and Is also serving the city in the honorary position as park com missioner With his brothers he pur- chased property adjoining Riverside park that was to be utilized for pur- poses that would be detrimental to the park as a place of rest and recreation for the public After title was made satisfactory this property was pre- sented the city and utilized in the enlargement of the park. This beauty spot will be more appreciated by the public when the facilities for reaching the park are made possible by the extension of the trolley system, which has been promised by the Connecticut company, and which may come before the present generation passes away.
 Provision has been made for parks on an approved system and bonds of S100,000 are to be issued to meet the expense, though bonds only to linn iIed amount, much below the total, will De issued as occasion requires, but up to the present time there has been no issue of park bonds.
 Perhaps one of the most pictur- esque locations in the state for a pub lie park, such as nature alone can build ie what is known as the Bates
 
 avenue the property comprising about ono hundred acres of land, and nearly ali in a natural state. The park com missioners and the mayor considered that tract ideal for park purposes, and decided upon that tract as the first to be purchased in connection with the park system, just as soon as it was deemed expedient to issue the bonds. MT. Palmer realized that the proper time to purchase was now for tomor- row or some time later there might he a material increase in price of the property and conditions of sale. So he quietly purchased the entire prop erty On his own account, paid the cash ard became the owner. He will hold the property until it is wanted for park purposes. Having completed the deal he quietly departed for a trip to Eur ope, accompanied by Mrs. Palmer. The transaction was kept secret until Park Commissioner Palmer was on the high seas. The Palmer families are val uable acquisition to the city of New London.

There were several matters relating to the fire department sprung at the meeting of the court of common coun- oil, and among them was one that in- dicated that Alderman Thomas F. Donohue had an eye on that S6,000 that had been appropriated for modern fire apparatus The alderman is fore man of the Nameaugs and would like to have the machine for the company with which he is connected-not an unnatura desire, but considered by some to be a trifle selfish rather than a broad desire for the general good of the department. It Is known that the sum appropriated is inadequate for the purpose and for that reason nothing has been done definitely towards the purchase of the machine, although the committee has several plans under consideration. MT Donohue has found way by diverting an appropriation that had been made for another pur- pose, but which cannot be done if the rules that govern the council are re- spected. He suggested that the un- expended balance for repairs to the Konomoc house be added and the ma chine be purchased and that room could be made for it in the Nameaug house.
 This project sounded well to some of the aldermen who were not on the inside but it fell flat with Alderman Crockett, the chairman of the fire committed, who also has his weather eye on that $6.00O and who declares that it will not be expended without tne fullest consideration is given the best interests of the city.
 The appropriation was made with a view 10 giving better fire protection

Not only the usual quarterly changes have been made in the beats of the policemen. but for the first time member of the force has been assigned to visit the patrolmen while they are on their tour of duty and see that they are doing their full duty. Yes, alter many years, there is Toundsman connected with the police department. Officer Benjamin Beebe, one of the oldest members of the force and among the most efficient, has been relieved of special detective duty and assigned as roundsman. This innovation will be welcomed by the officers who never shirk duty, but the few who report on and off duty regu- larly and who do as little duty as possible, do not like the changed sit uation. Hereafter, the officers will all be on their jobs every minute, for they will know not the time or the place where the roundsman will be awaiting their coming, and if they do not come the fact will be reported and the off cers higher up will know the reason why. Officer Beebe is a faithful man and while performing his duty as roundsman win be at the same time doing effective patrol duty. with some detective work on the side. The inno- vation will result in an improvement Of the efficiency of the police depart ment.
