While the park commissioners have
no coin to expend in the erection of
bio pavilion for the accommodation
of bathers and other Ocean beach Wis
itors, at a cost of $40, 1000, they have
the funds and the authority to expend
In the purchase Of additional property
adjoining Ocean beach, or rather just
across the brook. or inlet to Alewife
cove. The entire Ocean beach front
is now owned by the city and the pub
lie will have free access thereto for
ever The long headed commissioners
realize that the beach at present is
none too large to accommodate the pub
lie of today and therefore are plan
ming to meet present demands and to
also provide a Bleaching place for the
future generation. There is rocky
promentory and quite a piece of land
just across the Alewife cove inlet
owned by the Jerome estate, but the
title of which is just a little smoky.
In order to gain proper title condem-
nation proceedings would be necessary.
Following approval by the common
council immediate steps will be taken
to get possession of the property and
plans made for public occupancy next
season.

But the bluff did not work and there
is to be no modern expensive pavil-
lion at the beach next season, nor for
many seasons to come perhaps. The
park commissioners have ordained
that they have no funds available for
such purpose, and farther that the
500, 900 was given into their custody
for the sole purpose of acquiring land
for park purposes and for nothing
else The commissioners however,
realizing that the bathing facilities at
the beach are inadequate. have de-
cided to add many more bath houses
twice the present number If possible.
and to improve the sanitary conditions.
The commissioners also realized that
Riverside park beach is growing in
popularity and is much used by the
residents of that section of the city.
Twenty five additional bath houses
will be built there and ready for free
use by the public next season. The
commissioners, who are thoroughly
familiar with conditions at Ocean
beach are satisfied that with an in
crease in the number of bath houses,
at Ocean beach the public will be
well and satisfactorily served, so far
as goes the bathing, for many years
to come

Mayor Mahan has named the stand
ing committees of the court of common
council and, true to his promise, there
has been no changes in the make up
of the several committees only where
it became necessary to fit IN the five
new members. 1t is noted that the fire
committee is restored to it's original
number of three members, instead of
a member for each company OF the de-
partment and has named as that COM
mittee Alderman Richard NJ. Brocketa,
Alderman James F, O'Leary and Alder
man Eugene T. kirkland, all members
of the committee for several years.
Strong pressure was brought on the
mayor to have him disPlaee MIR.
Broekett and Mr. O'Leary because of
their independence of action ia the
matter of placing and purchasing new
fire apparatus. Both these men, and
Alderman Kirkland too, while each is
a member of the department, work for
the best interests of the whole depart
ment and not for the special benefit of
the companies in which they hold
membership. The mayor appointed
this committee with the sole view of

There's just one. other point on
which Mr.. Nordman lays considerable
stress He declares that rich land

the nutritive value of the crops is
greater. pound for pound. Let me
quote again:-'1 discovered early in
my experience that the richer l got
my land the greater was the per-
centage of food value in the crop l

much more food value than a ton of

toned, and the city is sure to get a
dollars worth of value for every dollar
expended Now the committee is not
so cumbersome and the whole depart
ment and the city will be better served.
Alderman John j. Ryan is retained
as chairman of the police committee
and his associates are Alderman Kirk
land and West, a trio that will not be
moved to hasty action by any or every
thing that is started for the purpose of
trying to create a sensation in the po-
lice department and belittde the mem
bers of the force, for this committee
knows the complete working Of the de-
partment and are acquainted with the
qualifications of every member of the
force from captain to supernumerary.
This was shown when the recent at
tack was made upon Captain George
Haven, without any basis of cause, in
a local newspaper. The committee did
not consider the matter worthy of Of
fetal recognition, and in so doing sat
isfied the great majority Of the people
This committee is to reorganize the
sllpernumerary force by dropping those
members who have attained the age Of
forty-fVe years and to admitting no
members who are over forty. This Is
due to insure comparatively young men
to the regular force in the event of va
cancieS and not get the new men in
line for pension after short service by
reason of disability or the age limit.
The committee. like the department is
very satisfactory and as near perfec-
ton as most police departments else
where.

He himself says that his farming
has two main points one to so crop
and manure the land as to keep it
/ always in good heart; the other to
| feed out the crops. as far as silos, ETC.,
viii permit, in their succulent state.
AS the first point: he keeps his land
rich by rotation and by putting back
all the manure on to the soil. 1t is
pretty evident that seventy-fv neat
cattle, forty-two sheep and two
/ horses, TO say nothing of a pig and a
! hen or two will provide a tolerable
amount of stable manure. He draws
out his manure mostly in the winter
and spring and slams it on the TWEEN
ty acres which are to go into corn,
that season. He ploWs in the spring
and plants his corn, three feet apart
each way. He cultivates a often as
he can, the Cftener the better In
September he cuts it and puts it all
in silo. Not a kernel is sold, Nor
does he have to freeze his fingers
husking He gets something over
three hundred tons of silage annually
from his corn. Then, when the fall
rains are mostly over. he plows the
stubble under. Next spring he har-
rows, and sows oats as early as pos
sible. With the oats he sows four
pounds of red clover. two of alsike,
two of alfalfa, and three of timothy
Per acre He cuts the oats in August
and puts them into the NOW, I'M
threshed, for 'roughage.'' Hasn't
thrashed spear of any grain for
twenty years. He let's his cattle
pasture on the clover, etc. in the oat
stubble, that fall The third year he
cuts his clover while it is young
before July 4th. 1T is harder to
cure then, but more tender and di-
gestible." About middle August he
cuts it again, averaging soIpe five
tons TO the acre from the two cut
tings. He pastures it again in the
fall
That completes the three-year ro-
tation.

In the matter of fire duty, social
standing and political influence the
Nameaugs are not what they used to
be. While for sentimental reasons
many would regret to have company
of such grand record removed from
tn department still the company could
not be better spared than at the pres
ent time, as there are many solid Cit
liens who believe the department as
at present composed Is just q trifle too
large for city the size Of New Lon
don. There are others who would like
to have the Nameaugs stand by the
action against Mr., Donohue in the
hope that disbandment would result
Not that they really want the COM
pany to go, but to shape matters that
the Nameaugh fire house would go
and thereby improve the surroundings
of the new municipal building, as the
house is now really in the way and de-
tracts from the appearance of the new
structure. With the Nameaug house
removed the city lot would be devoted
wholly to the municipal budding.
Some fellow was mean enough to re-
mark that the removal of the house
was the main lever that caused the
scindins of the expulsion vote in the
hope that the company would insist
and in imitation Of the doings of the
general assembly call for a committee
of conference, and then receive direct
orders to rescind or get out Of the de-
partment. Yes, the Nameaugs will
have to change course or be dashed in
the breakers that are ahead.

He Separates" his cream daily.
Each morning a car comes from the
dairy to get it. Each fortnight he
draws his money from the dairy. The

There has been much agitation for a
modern bathing pavilion at Ocean
Beach, suggested by Health officer
Black, the health committee of the
court of common council, and approved
by Ex-Governor Waller the Father of
Ocean Beach and many others who
have been in the bathing line for
hours only to find that no bathing suit
or bath house was available when the
window of the captains office was
finally reached. In making up the
budget the council did not include the
$4,000 asked for by the advocates of
the new pavilion. but the matter was
referred to the park commissioners
who had g. fund of 100000 at their
command and that inasmuch as the
park commissioners really had charge
Of the beach that it was we'll within
their jurisdiction to erect the pavilion.
This plan seemed to satisfy for the
gentlemen who declared in city meet
ing that If the council did not include
the appropriation in the regular budget,
another special city meeting would be
demanded and action taken that
would force the councilnen to yield to
the demand of the people.
