CIVIL SERVICE IS
 SUCCESS, QUIGLEY
Although Not Perfect, Mayor
 Thinks It Is Improvement

Despite opposition in some quarters, Mayor George A. Quigley has ex- pressed himself as we'll pleased with the way in which civil service is working out in the police and fire de- partm ents. Although he admits the he considers it vastly superior to the old methods of appointment and this point, it is believed, will be the one on which he will dwell when he ad- dresses the National Civil Service league at the Hotel Taft in New Haven soon.
 Mayor Quigley states that in past years when there were, for instance, twenty applicants for an appointive position on either the fire or police department, any one of these twenty, whether fitted for the job or not. might get appointed through inf1u- ence, politics and wire pulling. Now every one of these twenty has to take the prescribed civil service tests which, the civil service commission believes, are stringent enough to make any one who passes eligible for ap- pointment. If, of these twenty only
 
 mated. In this one respect, the mayor argues, sivil service has proved it's worth and it positively cuts out the candidates who are not fitted for the job. Thus, any one of the five who pass is eligible and any one who might be appointed would be fit for the job. In this respect the mayor admits that among these five there may be influence or politics brought final appointment, but even at that there can be but little mistake in the fitness of any appotntee, since he has passed tho civil service
 Mayor Quigley also states that ii the civil service continues to work out In a satisfactory manner he may even tually be in favor of having City hall clerks appointed by civil service. He contends that any clerk who by hard work, has proved his value to the city should not be summarily busted by a following administration because he might be of an opposite political faith By having these offices under civil service an efficient clerk would be sure of his. position as long as he continued to render the city good ser vice. The mayor thinks however, that civil service insofar as it might be made to apply to the appointment of t.al positions under responsible cleo tive officers, to be appointed by and responsible to, those officials.

MEETS COL. THOMPSON.
Conference Delegate Is Son of Man
 City Clerk Once Taught.

A young man, delegate to the Older Boys Conference, visited City Clerk A. l.. Thompson this morning and introduced himself as the son of Stancliffe Hale of Glastonbury, saying that his father had wished him to visit the Colonel. The city clerks greeting to the young man was a hearty one as twenty-four years ago he was personally acquainted with his father.
 In 1892 Stancliffe Hale was a stu-, dent at Cheshire Military Academy at Cheshire and Colonel Thompson was the military instructor there. A close friendship between the young student and the older man grew up which was more closely cemented by the visit of the young conference delegate today4

Tn the early part of the game, the Yale quarterback missed a punt which gave the Crimson it's chance at score.

The plan would be to have this street extended across Glen street to Greenwood street There it would connect with Rent scheler street, turn into Shuttle Mead avenue and from there into COrbin avenue. COrbin avenue leads direct ly into the Plainville road.
 Many people, including the chief of the fire department think this short cut would be an advantageous one for the city. At present there is no practical way to get onto the west ern side of the city between Mill street and Locust street and between these two streets is a long stretch. Locust streets entrance to the west ern section of the city is by no means direct.
