NEW LOND0N'S SEPT. 6 CELEBRATIONS

f is one who was adjudged guilty of | drinking n a saloon while in uniform. 1 The pensioners are regularly employed elsewhere and fully competent for po- ! iIce-d duty Only one of the four was placed on the retired list at his own re- quest, and this was after an honora ble record. Let it be whispered that tho l biggest blunder ever, in the depart ment, was the forcing of Lieutenant
 Jeffers on the retired list, and the next i in size in the bfunder line was not making that. efficient and experienced 1 officer captain of police.
 The scheme of widening Bradley
 street and Bank street iron, State to I1lIey, which origiated with the Cham.- per or Commerce and approved by the Rotary club, came before the court or common council lacking the en- dorsement of the Masons the Hiber- nlans, the Moose, the Elks and the Eagles.
 The city fathers took no action, that Is action that would be necessary b make this project effective. Mayor projectors appointed a committee
 composed of Aldermen Chappell, Cur Us and Lyons to give hearing to par tles m 1nterest,~especially the property
 owners who would be liable to pay the expense of widening in the assessment
 CT benefits, according to the plans of
 the Chamber of Commerce.
 It may be that this special commit
 tee may be able to get some sort of an
 idea $ to the immense cost of making
 the improvement, but their findings
 Will in no way bind the city to go on
 with the work. This widened highway
 would surely relieve the congestion of traffic and would be a public accom- inodatlon' to all sorts of vehicle own CTS. and the pity is that the original builders of Bradley street and Bank street did not peer far into the future and make the required provisions The n If
 the plan proposed would mean the de- structIon of the Neptune and Fitzger- ald buildings, the moving of the sol ders and sailors monument, and the tearing away of all the building fronts on the east side of Bank street in cluding the big Exchange building.
 It would make a million dollars look Ike an old time silver three-c cent piece The committee of the Chamber of commerce say that all the expense of improving Bank street would be borne by the property owners on the West 1 slue of that street. The reduction and removal of buildings in Bradley street treated as very small matter alid i IS hafoly gwen consideration by the i pFfomOterS of the scheme It can he 1 put down as fact that if these Sfreats 1 are ever Wldened, and there is doubt i on that point, it will be done according ! to the plans of the Chamber of Com i mcfce, and will never be done without !
  "Hoie- from the present angle this proposition will go as far in construc- | tlon work for q long time as did the i extension Of Washington to Read 1 street, the extension of Pequot avenue 1 across the cove to Divisoni street and l thence on to Truman street and the | eNtens1on Of Main street to Bank street, near Tiifey.
 Superintendent Thomas E, Donohue | who has been in the office couple of | years or moro makes the startling an l nouncement that the building and the i bedding and furniture teens with yer 1 mn that cannot be eradicated This statement is made in the press for the 1 purpose Of inIorinins the public and 10 i give unofficial infOrma ton to the court Of common council that makes up the annual budget, that it will be necessary to newly equip the new ! when transfer is made back py the navy department to the city ! Strange that the al1nshouse ever. csr11n | into the condition as described as the II poor inmates are not migra ory. and ii cleanliness and sanitation is supDosed | to prevail in the institutions of thar T character. Maybe there is just a littfe eXa ggeration in the story It is an 1ounced that the superintendent and the matron should get an increase in i pay ana that an assistant ma tron br, -ufnIShed That may not be a had oiah tor with the pay of the directin.g ofce increased Vermin may not be per fltted 10 enter the new almshouse.
