SUPERINTENDENT OF TOWN
 HOME ASKED TO RESIGN.

HOME ASKED TO RESIGN. It is an unpleasant thing to see an administration going wrong so early in the year and in manner that IS uncalled for and which has been vfted to send a reporter to the meet ing of,the board of charities last even- ing and did so, only to have him, as we'll as others, denied admittance be- cause Mayor Quigley objected. It is generally better to transact public business in the open, so that the peo- pie who are represented and who pay the bills may know what is being done. The reason for secrecy was question of the Town home man.
 agement which the former board has
 said was satisfactory in every way,
 and which has now ended by the
 present board asking for the resigna-
 tion of the superintendent, MT. Kibbe. Just what was said is unknown, be- cause the meeting was secret and the public can do it's own guessing.
 It is reasonable to suppose that the case is one of the mayor against the superintendent, growing out of the charges preferred by the former last year and which resulted in the super intendent being stoutly defended by the board of charities. A new con- tract was drawn up by the corporation counsel a few months ago, which went into effect April 1 and is to con- tinue for year from that date. The document contains a clause which says that if either parties wish to terminate the contract at the end of that time notice is to be given during the preceding January. That con- tract has been signed and is now in effect, and before the ink is hardly l dry the mayor proposes to break it, for that is what it means, the under
 standing being that if MT. Kibbe does not resign. an effort will be made to
 oust him.
 No one will blame a department for dismissing an incompetent official, but the board of charities does not be- l lieve that the superintendent is in competent, for if it did 1t would not have madesa new contract with him. It evidently has done the bidding of the mayor because he wanted 1t, al- though he is not a member of the board and has absolutely nothing to do with it's management. Had the newspaper men been present the de- tails would have been known and the p E sa ; public could discuss the case inteIli- gently. As it is now, they are handi- capped because of the lack of details. There are times when the board of charities might talk over some of its business in secret, particularly when the poor question is being considered, but when it comes to dismissing pub lie officials for what appears to be private grievance with another official that is another matter. The situa- ton is one to be regretted by every one who desires to see fair play to- wards every public servant and who wishes to see the dignity of the city upheld. :.

In the first place the city would not auti. orize the purchase of so many motor drI, en machines. as they are noi> re- .u.rCI in a city of such small area as that of New London, any pop ulous part of which can be reached in three mi. utes by the Niagara com bina,ion wagon, and that water can be put on a fire at Ocean Beach by the Niagaras in seven minutes. which was shown by recent test, while the Pe- quots with modern motor apparatus are within short distance of the beach. That is the longest run in the city. Since the coming of the new Niagara machine, it has done fully eight-tenths of all the actual fire service. In the old days. with hand d-drawn machines and the area of the city the same, there were not as many fire companies as at the present time. The present demand could have been adequately met by the horse-drawn apparatus and a machine of the Niagara type. But the volunteer fremen got the habit, and it will be in vogue until the New London fire department is completely motorized

If in actual warfare all that is -laimed for it is realized, an invention just submitted to the French admir- alty will have an important effect oa modern naval warfare. It takes the form of a projectile similar in many respects both to a torpedo and a shell
 When fired from either a torpedo tube or a 12-inch gun it skins the surface of the water like hat pebble and has a range of nearly 10 miles.

NEW LO..GO.l FIRE DEPARTMENT
Usual Jealousy Being Displayed Over the Placing of New Apparatus = Thomas Auto Not Yet Repaired - Nearly All Companies Have Modern Equipment


 It has become a habit in New Lon
 don for the volunteer fire companies to purchase motor-driven fire appara- tus on their own account and then add them to the regular equipment or the department and directly in the charge
 of the chief engineer just the same as if they were city property. This habit was formed some fifteen years ago when the Ntagaras purchased the first automobile chemical and hose wagon to be put into active fire service in the United States. But 1t was in when the old and original was dis carded and the city substituted a modern automobile combination hose
 chemical and pumping machine. When this machine was given over to the Niagaras there was jealousy among some. of the other companies as all of
 them wanted that particular machine and played ali there was in the game to get it, but the members of the city
 council rightfully awarded the ma
 chine to the Niagaras in recognition
 of the enterprise of that company in
 getting a mortor- driven fire apparatus
 when such fire fighting apparatus was
 in the experimental stage, and giving excellent service.
 But before this jealousy was created
 the Pequot Hose company had it's own
 
 fire apparatus and good one, which
 was purchased for s5,000. Then the city purchased a machine for the Thomas Hose company which proved to be a lemon and is now in the plant where 1t was manufactured tp Hart ford, where 1t was taken after being wrecked over six months ago. The axle broke and the machine struck a tree. This miShap occurred In the af- ternoon and during the night 1t was keI- ~,,l1 .n@ iHS hfIf1anNG n Hartford, and there 1t has remained just as it was taken away. The hre committee did not authorize the re- moval of the wrecked machine ana has
 given no orders for repairs. there be- ing doubt as to whether the builders were responsible by using inferior ma terial in the construction of the broken axle Local flremen claim that the axle broke before the tree was struck and, that the mishap was entirely due to the break. @
 It is understood that a portion of that axle has been subjected to andy sis 0y disinterested @xPerts and that | low the standard that should have 1 been used, that in fact the axle was 1 made of steel that was below the or | dinary steel and not of the kind that is usually used in the construction Of axles for fire apparatus. The rnarau- featuring company claims no Fespon- | sibiIity and 1t Is understood that spect- | fications as to materials to be used I did not appear in the contract. It Is farther understood that 8 pretty stin price was. charged for taking the wrecked machine to Hartford, and | that the cost of repairs are estimated at about half the cost of the machine when new, which was practically l $5.oo0.
 | The new fire committed. appointed 1 by the mayor recently has the whole
 matter under consideration and the probability is that orders will be given for repairing the apparatus. with the

Before this rnishap, the NorthWests purchased big touring ear and con verted 1t into a chemical and hose wagon. and devoted 1t to fire purposes,
 with questionable results. as touring car machinery is not of the kind that carries with it real fire service.
 Later the Ockfords followed the ex- ample of the Northwests and remod- eled an automobile touring car into a | fire apparatus, and with like results. It has been announced the present | week that the Nameaug company, | the oldest fire company in the city, l barring the Niagara, is to have a re- modelled fire apparatus, and it is de- clared that it is to come in the near future as the foreman of the com pany, Congressman Elect Richard P. Freeman has given assurance to. that effect This will leave the Konomoc
 Hose company and the F. l.. Allen Hook and Ladder company as the only
 ones that are of the horse drawn type of apparatus.
 The Konomocs, although getting more out of the public in the way of | entertainments than all other com | panieS combined, and therefore prob | ably the best fixed financially, does
 not seem to get the hahit. and the in- dications are that it will be In a class l by itself in the way of apparatus in
 the near future.
 In the recent city budget there was
 hidden In the appropriation for the | fire department sum autficieient to buy a fire apparatus of standard type made of the very best of material | fully guaranteed and the equal of the Niagara machine that has been ip use pended for repairs. It has been hint | ed, and hinted very strongly, that the | next apparatus to be purchased for the city will be hook and ladder | truck for the F. L. Allen company. In
 the purchased of this machine the I and there will be no favors shown as was the case when the Thomas ap- paratus was purchased
 In spite of the hints, which are re-. | sarded by some on the iaside as fact, | the Konomocs are out after the new | machine and are making a bid for a | duplicate Of the Niagara. There sure 1 is need for another combination pump | ing machine. so that in the event of l rnishap to one the other would be In | readiness for instant use, and be of I great value when at a fire of more than the average consequence. The
 appropriation. however. is not sufil- paratus worthy the name. and it 1 really does look as if the Kenomocs | must get the hahit. or wait for city 1 purchased machine for at least one | year more.
 1 While 1t appears on the surface that | nade. over fire machines are of no exnenee to &he city, because they are 1 purchased on the habit system the re- l verse is the fact. for unlike the Ni-
 asaras who ran their own machine. after it's purchase by the company for
 a dozen years, without city aid. the other companies expect the city to make good part of the expense and
 a good part at that. Tn addition to | suhstantial aid in the cost of conver- l sion, of S1,000 or more, these com
 panies demand that the city pay the
