city of from $3o,O00 to s4o,oo0. But the milk had been spilled.
 's At the city meeting when apologies were made a vote was passed direct ing the council to make effort to un- do the wrong by recalling or can ceiling the sale of the bonds. A coun- eilsnieefiffg was held that same even jng but -.no aetionS was itakep The city meeting vote was ignored and it is quite probable that the sale will be fully effected and the money avail- able for use bfore the court of com mon council meets again. Apologies and explanations are again in order. Perhaps the excuse this time will be that the special council meeting the case against Policeman Cavanaugh was on and that the mayor and Alder man Chappell, who is also chairman of the police committee. were interest of the police committee were more in terested in bouncing Cavanaugh from | tn force on trivial charges, than in , saving the city of New London thous- ands of dollars on that unusual bond sale. Did they bounce Cavanaugh? | They did:not But in order to let the mayor and police committee down easy., the. council voted to suspend the faithful officer for a period of thirty ! day. t-s,.,

The sentiment of the meeting seemed strongly opposed to authorizing the sale of bonds for pur- poses that could not be. satisfa "torily explained not onB3by city officials. but by fgentlemen representing the gentlemen representing the public in terests to be benefited.' : g@
 The proposed issue of half a million in bonds for municipal wharves and the general preparation of the water from for business purposes, and per haps as worthy as any of the bond matters considered was voted down and without due consideration. That
