by evasion Of all the quarantine re-
strictionS placed against them at dis
trtbuttng points on transportation
lines at New London and elsewhere
The children are on an East Kiuingly
farm and their presence there did not
become a matter of knowledge to
town and borough officials until Fri
day, when it was believed that the
children had been unanswered past
quarantine stations and officers by
transportation.
w. I. Billiard. acting warden, and
Health officer DR.. w. H. JudsOn
started an investigation of the little
East Killingly farm colony Friday af
ternOOn, making a trip by autOmO-
bile over into that corner of the town.
Before leaving, Mr.. Billiard said that
the action Of protective nature to
Killingly's children to be taken would
depend upon what was found at the
farm. In any case, he said, every pre-
caution would be taken to protect the
children Of the town and if necessary,
the children from New York would
be quarantined and put under guard
Mr.. Billiard further stated that he
would seek to have the town pay for
the guards, but this failing, would
literally head subscription for a
fund TO meet the expense.
Killingly has so far escaped hav-
ing a case of infantile paralysis, al
though many Of the towns in eastern
Connecticut have reported real or
suspicious cases and some deaths
have occurred. The discovery that
New York children had been quietly
assembled at East Killingly came as
a decided surprise to the officials and
they were not at all diiatOry in so
ing right after every bit of inform2-
ton to be had relative to where the
children came from in New York,
who was responsible for bringing
them here and how they were brought
The children in question, eight in
number are at Maurice B. Germans
farm. When asked for a statement
for publication Friday afternoon Mr..
German said: "The children are from
the Lexington avenue section Of New
York. in Harlem. They represent
three different families. They have
been here four weeks and they came
from New York to New London by
boat and frsm New London into the
town of KillinEiy by train. A physi-
clan CDr Judson) is here examining
them now, and you may talk with him
if you wish"
Mr.. German further stated that
none of the children was i'll.

commission have placed it in the first
round or two of his fight against the
trolley management. It is not at all
like him; with him it will be a fight

missioners that there is not a Nor
san in every city and town in the
state that has grievance against
trolley road management If there
were they would have no time to at
tend to their multitudinous duties Of
perhaps almost equal Importance. AS
it is the commissioners should have
care lest Alderman Morgan puts
them in Dutch. Some chap has said
that Alderman Morgan is paving his
way to the mayoralty and will get
there. There have been mayors of
ew London who lack some of the
qualifications for the office that Al

That fifteen minutes rule of park
ing automobiles on State street is
not satisfying to the merchants and
people doing business along the line,
and the mayor has been asked to see
to it that there is change in that
particular traffic rule. The rule is
observation-disclosures to the business peo-
pie and to their patrons who come in
automobiles, as well. The rule was
made in order that the streets would
not be lined by automobiles for hire,
and thereby preventing access to the
places of business by those who ride
in private vehicles. There was jus
tice in the rule in SO far as it relates
to public vehicles, but it has proven
an injustice to all others interested.
1t is a ticlIlish matter to handle for
just as soon as the municipal author
tiles extend the time for private We
hicles only, then the operators of pub
lie automobiles will raise a big shout
and claim discrimination. Shout or
no shout, there is demand for a
change in the fifteen minutes rule,
as now applied.

Then Alderman Morgan IS good
enough to take the public into his
confidence, and tells to the people
through the newspapers Just what he
told the public utilities commission
and just what the commission told
him. He also told the commission
ers where there was difference in
their opinion and his opinion, and
this, too, he told the public through
the newspapers. So what Mr.. Nor
gan is doing along this line of reform
is for the public good and of course
the public should know just what he
is doing. He has admirers for his
reform work, Just as has any other
reformer, no matter what may be his
speciality in reform work.

was signed by the sole proprietor. edi-

trio car companies vt that time. Now
it seems to be the aim to knock the

the knocking in the main is taken up
