NEW IONDON'S CAPTAIN OF POLICE
Ready Retire After Holding Position For Nearly Thirty Years-Question of Pension For Long and Faithful Public Servant-Reformers Also After Lieutenant Jeers Tax Collector Must Be Nan1ed-No Action Yet By Purity Committee.

tax collector. By reason of the tax collectors office and the clerks of iE Etimate friends, besides his general knowledge of the work, fits MT. Bur rows well for the office Of tax col leCtor. It would be a job that could be worked in with the present job of MT. Burrows. and without disadvant- age to the general public. The right man could readily render the double service. that is a man of Mir. Bur rows calibre. The salary of the clerk of the board of assessors is $1,S00 and tEat of tax collector S3.000, total of S4,S00, a salary none too much for a city official at the present high cost idation perhaps MT. Burrows would prefer his present position to which he has just been elected for term Of three years. for that os tax collector being at the whim of the court of common council annually.
 The purity committee has nc>s since election and given due con- sideration to many reform matters. They talked over several matters of rublic interest that they have plan ned to reform, but up to date have not acted. True the talk resulted in an attack upon the captain and lieuten based on statements. some of them. that are not true. Fault was found with the police for alleged inactivity in the enforcement of the liquor laws, but it is a rare day in court when some violator of the liquor law or some law nearer to the preservation of morality is not before the police curt. The police force is certainly doing duty, it never did before. This is not attributable to the sion of the purity people, but rather to the cooperation of the prosecuting de- partment with the police. The days
 Nf IA, fH~, +1,a Ioo ir, these cases seems to have passed, and the convicted get a full measure of punishment.
 ! WVth the police department now on fighting edge, backed by the prose- cutting force, now seems to be the time of all times, for the combined purity committee and the volunteers from the liquor dealers, the lesi:'- mate dealers. to get busy and clean up the places of prominence where the liquor laws are defed seven days week. every day of the month. If tire purity committee does not happen to know the names and numbers of these offenders. the blanks can be filled out readily by the committee of saloonmen. That is if all con cerned in the proposed movement are sincere. The raiding of a kitchen bar the clansing process. but only on a small scale. It that charge true. that some law vioIators in this regard have police protection? This can hardly be so. for some of the places have been actually raided and the of lenders penalized but in such a way that the liouor license was not ieop- ardized. and jail sentence was taboo co. Conditions have changed since Pitt Wheeler drove dray in New Lcndon. Perhaps the millennium is near and the chronic liauor law vio- lators in the city are about to wal the plank. That little matter is up to the police aided of course by the Joint reform committee

Another important matter that will be taken up at the meeting of the court of common council will be the appointment of a tax collector to fill the vacancy caused by the untimely death of Charles B.. Douglass, a po- sition that carries with it the sub stantial salary of $30Oo a year. It is understood that there are several russy-f footed aspirants for the place, but it Is not believed that any of them has had any more than a lick and a promise, and that don't amount to much from the average member of the New London court of common council Ask any man who, has ever sought omce within the gift of the council for verification. The ofiice of tax collector is a good job and ought to be filled by a man qualified for that sort of work.
