LAYS DOWN LAW TO POLICEMEN
Chairman Mclaughlin Speaks For the Commissioners-Pa trol Duty and Enforcement of Traffic Regulations to be Strictly Required-No More Conversation Beats

quite likely to have a boomerang ef- feet and come home to the man who had made it.
 Traffic Ordinances.
 The enforcement of traffic regula- tiOns was next taken up by the com missioner. At the suggestion of a ma jority of the automobile owners in town, he said traffic regulations had been formulated and put into effect, and policemen had been specially de- tailed to instruct the driving public in these and see that they were carried out but now the board wanted every man to feel that he was a traffic of ficer. The commissioners had been watching things and had seen that conditions were gradually growing wore now after there had been an improvement as a result of the traffic 1nStructing that was put into force some time ago. He related one in stance that had come under his own observation, where an automobiliSt re- gently in approaching Franklin square al what seemed dangerous speed had switched over on to the left side of the street at the Chelsea bank corner and had come past the cars in the square on that side
 The officer on the beat standing on the curb, had apparently seen nothing and the car had gone on unchecked. Dr. Mclaughlin told the men that an
 
 they were to provide themselves with copies of the traffic rules and become acquainted with the regulations.
 Police Will Ring In.
 In conclusion he spoke about the police signal system that had been put in and which was to be increased so that regulations would be made so that the patrolmen would have to ring in at certain hours throughout their tour of duty. When this had been sug- gested the speaker said an omcer on the force had given the opinion that he didn't believe the boys would stand for it." What the boys would stand for, the police commissioner said, was not going to be the rule of the depart ment for the commissioners intended to run 1t as they believed it should be run. and he advised all the men to get copies of the rules and study up and follow them out for their own good as infractions of the rules were going to have their penalties in fines for the minor offenses and in vacancies on the force for those of a more serious character.
 One of the patrolmen made answer along the line of traffic rules enforce ment and claimed that the prosecutor would not make out complaints in case they made arrests, to which the all derman replied that that was no con- cern of the patrolman and that the commissioners wanted to see the traf- fife regulations enforced and they want ed arrests made if the patrolmen saw violations of the ordinances.
 He added a final word about talks on politics and remarks about the police commissioners and advised the men to refrain from these practices which would jeopardize their places on the force.

All the active members of the Nor wfch police force were in the police court room at o'clock on Wednes- day afternoon in answer to summons from the police commissioners and when they were all assembled Alder man W. c. Mclaughlin as chairman of the. police commissioners acted as spokesman in conveying to the force the admoHitions which it was deter mined to hand out to them when the police commissioners held their meet ing on the evening previous at the time they voted an extra 25 cents per day to the pay of officers and men.
 In addressing the police force AL derman Mclaughlin made the raise in wages his starting point, remind ing them that the citizens had voted the extra money and that the com missioners felt that the extra pay ought to result in more and better work from the department and that the commissioners intended to see that the citizens got a full dollars worth of value for what they put into the police department. The alderman spoke in commendation of what the department had done in the past year as compared with previous times and said the commissioners felt that the standard of the department had been raised but they believed there was still room for improvement. The mat ter was to be looked at in a business way and the police were to consider that they were the same as if they were in the employ of a corporation and would have to return full equiv alent for the pay they received.
 Talk Only in Line of Duty.
 Passing on the commissioner took up the matter of patrolmen talking to civilians or to each other while on their beats and told them that the board had decided that long conver- sationS of this character must come to a stop. He reminded them that twice last year warnings of this kind had been given but he said they seemed to do no good. Citizens had indicated to the police commissioners that they wanted to see the men doing more patrol duty and the commits sioners did not believe this could be done while the patrolmen were con- ducting long conversations on street corners or holding up the side of a building
 they could not say Good morning." or Good afternoon" when they were ad- dressed and they would be expected to make necessary and courteous an- swers to questions that came to them in the line of duty, but the long con- versations must be g. thing of the past.
 Might Be Boomerang.
 The commissioner referred also 10 some reports that had come to the commissioners ears of what police trolman having remarked to a civilian that he hoped to see the day when the present board would be in the gut ter and he would be one of those to be walking over them. Such a remark. the chairman of the board said. was

BOYS TRICK IN
 MAILING OLD POST CARD.
Made it Look as # Card Was Held
 Here Seven Years.

One of the tricks that small boys frequently play on the post office in sticking into letter boxes old postal cards which they may find around the street resulted this week in a news paper story which laid the local of fee open to the charge of having held a postal card here for seven years be- fore delivering it.
 When Postmast ster Caruthers heard of it he said this postal card was un- doubtedly one that had been so picked up on the street here, put into some letter box and then sent out again. The late Norwich cancellation stamp indicated this, he said, as only mail so collected would have Norwich cancellation stamp on it. There was no chance in the local office for a pos tai card to get tucked away out of sight for seven years.

 VIEWS ON CURRENCY BILL
A. H. Brewer Thinks It Would Put
 Politicians In Control.

Arthur H. Brewer, president of the Norwich Savings society, is quoted in a New York paper regarding the new oppose it. His statement follows:
 T do not oppose the new currency bill because of it's opposition to in terior banks depositing in New York to obtain interest. but consider it a good move to prevent concentration of money in New York, though the coun- try banks will object. I do not think that the reserve centers have fostered any opposition to the bill, but believe it would result in politicians being in control of the situation and would re- suit in the return to state banks"

"A STITCH IN TIME !"

There might be a modern ver- sion of that old adage to the effect that, "A penny spent in time will often save 8 dime"
 Nowhere is the truth of this revised adage more easily dem onstrated than in the proper use
 of the best newspapers of the
 day
 If you are planning a trip, if you wish to go to a theatre, a lecture, to church, if you need
 to buy practically any article of
 ordinary use, spend your cop per for good newspaper and turn to the advertising columns for the latest information on the subject you have In mind Make practice of doing this and you will find that you save yourself both time and trouble and that many a dime that might have
 been wasted has either been saved or spent in such a way that yeu have attained the max imum of value from it. Heedless spending wastes more money than willful extrav- agance.
 In justice to yourself, you must keep in touch with what IS in the market. Buy a news paper and save your dimes by reading the advertisements reg ularly.

 IN CONNECTICUT CAMP. Cheering Report from Reunion of Blue and Gray at Gettysburg.

Not A man sick in the Connecticut camp at Gettysburg" was the cheering report made by Surgeon H. A. Tyler at o'clock Wednesday morning The 5oO Connecticut veterans are eager to see the 50th anniversary of the battle through
 The persistent complaints which fol- lowed the lack of comforts of the most ordinary kind on the first night of their rrlval have disappeared, for the sec ond night found every veteran taken care of. All had "all the comforts of home" The MichiganderS were Oust- ed from the tents prepared for the Connecticut veterans and a great inn provement was found in the arrange ments of the daily rations.
 Some Sent Home.
 T am sending a dozen or fifteen home before they become seriously sick, said Surgeon Tyler, and to get them out of the last two days of the week. Some of these were not strong when they came and the memories of a half century ago stirred them to en- thusiastic marching over the battle lines, and the effort was too great for them"
 One of those who kicked out was the Confederate, Blake of New Haven, who is 8S. He will be o. K after a few days rest at home Dr. Tyler has been looking after the Connecticut boys, day and night. His efforts have prevented many of them from being indiscreet under the terrific sun of Tuesday and Wednesday.
 Monument Rededcated.
 Governor Baldwn rededicated the Sedgwick monument Tuesday The cemetery attracted many veterans. The governor was attended by Adju- tant General Cole and Major Pinney of his staff and President Bradstrett and Major Purcell of the Connection. commission. Now that the veterans have gotten over their discomforts at their camp and have had time to think 1t over, they are becoming more calm in the expression of their views as to tie care the government had sought to provide for them, The fall down was not the fault of tho army officials at Gettysburg, but the overcrowding of the delega tions beyond the estimates given.

 The Bethel Drum corps serenaded the Virginians Tuesday night and the Virginians sent their band to Con- necticut lane at breakfast Wednesday morning. It is a common sight to see a Connecticut Tank hugging a Vir- ginia gray beard. Governor Baldwin is one of the most enthusiastic gov ernors in camp.
