 At Hartford avenue the smooth per- | manent pavement begins and at AL
 len street the incomparable concrete | road begins, but between these two
 points the motorist and teamster is | confronted with a bad stretch of
 road To put a permanent pavement | or concrete here would be a boom to
 the city and would make an almost | through the city.
 | While he has never said so pub
 Hcly, nevertheless it is not for a l moment doubted but wat Mayor
 George A Quigley has the congress
 SiOnal desire very strong and he may
 even now be priming his guns pre- l paratOry to entering the fighting the
 fall. Those who are close to the
 mayor do not deny that he may have
 such ambitions and say they see no
 reason why he should not, or why he
 should not be elected It is every
 mans privilege to be a candidate In
 the HrSt statement may go unchalleng- l cC' Not so the second. George QmS-
 ley has proved himselm popular in l New Britain but what of him else 1 where. One never hears of his l
 CTS that be. At the state convention at
 which Marcus Holcomb was named, 1 George Quigley was there But so l were many other bigger republicans | than he and he was "a little toad in
 a big puddle" to use homely expres-
 sion. He might be able to win, but 1 it would appear that the republican
 party has in it's ranks men bigger and 10 U-h get the preference
 Soon the police department will be
 increased by the appointment of ten
 new regular policemen and they are needed too. There is some specula-

 The coming years work for the milk station is to be much larger than ever before and for the first time in the history of the city it is to be run throughout the entire year. A nurse WILL be in attendance for twelve months and during the busy months of July and August two nurses will be employed. Already $643, or about a thlrd of what is needed to support the station, has been raised but as $1,357 is needed the work must be continued. Contributions of twenty-five and fifty cents are most acceptable for every penny counts and goes towards help ing some little baby. Both sick and well babies must be cared for; the sick made well and the well made stronger; and strong healthy baby is sure to grow up into better citizen.
 For the past week New Britain's motto has been Help the boy" but it IS now the babies who are appealing Slnce the organization of the milk station four years ago New Britain's infant mortality has been leSsened, so let the good work go on. Miss Mary Whittlesey of 279 West Main street is receiving contributions.
 Action of Mayor Quigley in reap pointing John E. Moore to the board of public works for three years is be- ing heartily endorsed by members of both political parties, especially since 1 it was so unexpected. Two years ago | the mayor deposed MT. Moore as chairman of the board, a position he 1 had held for four years during the 1 Halloran administrations and there | was every indication that he would he ! cast into the discard when his term | was up. Realizing that his past ex- porience and wisdom made him par tiCularly well fitted for service on this board, much stress was brought to bear on the mayor by members and outsiders as well and his rcappoint- mcnt of MT. Moore has been received with the utmO satisfaction.
 The reelection of c. B. Rossberg as chairman of the water commission CTS assures the city of a most capable l man in that position for another year. There was some talk that year ago Nessrs. Rossbcrg and Humphrey had agreed to let the latter have the job { his year, but inasmuch as Mir. Hum Ohrey nominated MT. ROssberg this
