TIMELY ACTION.

The decision reached at a confer ence of New York police officials to curb the activities of the anarchists comes none too soon. Though the di- rect result of the bomb explosion in the Lexington avenue tenement house, there. are plenty of other incidents and facts in possession of the au- thorfties to warrant them in reaching the conclusion that too great latitude has been allowed these promoters of lawiessness and disorder.
 New York has long been a hotbed of such government disorganizers and the course which has been adopted concerning them has not checked their operations. They have been growing through every opportunity which has been permitted them until they have reached the point where they should be suppressed Their contempt for all regulations Is well known They are a menace to every city and country, aAd the responsibility of every munici- paiity to the rest of the country as well as to itself in permitting them to thrive and spread their dangerous principles must be recognized.
 The metropolis has no easy task be- fore t in the undertaking which has been decided upon. It could have been done easier at the start, but further dciay and failure to meet the problem Is only piling up much greater future task. The explosion has furnished situation which cannot be overlooked. It deserves practical and positive action with unanimous back ing of public sentiment.

APPROVING CITY BILLS.

The unveiling of the method by which the fire commissioners proposed to increase the motor apparatus of the fire department has brought to atten- ton the manner in which the bills of the various departments of the city are approved and ordered paid. Though it is required that there shall be . majority of a board or commits sion to approve the bills before pre- sentation to the council, few in the council outside such a board or com mission ever see the bills or know what bills they are actually paying.
 In this instance there was an ap- proval by a majority of the fire com missionersl and such carried weight with the council sufiicient to order the payment of the bills. No one ques- tioned the large amount and no one knew that one at least was not a reg ular bill except the minority member of the ire commissioners. This instance reveals the need of the expression by every member of such a commission whether favorable or unfavorable, for had there been a report on those bills by the minority member such action as was rescinded would probably never have been taken, though existing cir cumstarces demanded 1t.
 It WAS an action upon which the council and the citizens should have been enlightened. There is no gues- ton but what Norwich is in need Of more motor fire apparatus but such should be gained through appropri- afions secured with the understand ing that they were to be used for such purposes. A good chance is offered to change the method of sliding through department bills.
