NEW BRITAIN POLITICS.

The New Britain Record seems to be
busy finding a job for Judge Klett. Sew.
eral days ago 1t remarked that he might
be chosen a judge of the Supreme or
Superior court. Last night it printed
well Defined rumor that he was slated
for the district attorneys office mas
much as a list of higher court judges
had been given out-with Klett's name
missing Providing that Dame Rumor,
who matches her ideas in the Record
office seemingly, keep at work, some
day u job will be found for our police
court judge.
After having disposed of Judge Klett,
through elevation. the paper goes on to
fill up the jobs left vacant by his APP
pointment. Il. w. Alling will step into
Judge I<lett's place, +. b. Hungerford
might take Alling's place but might
not. so might Morris Sake but might
not. Attorney Michael Sexton is out
to fight for Judge Kirkham's place as
corporation counsel. who, If he loses his
job, will return to private practice. Also
William NJ. Greenstein is liable to get
the place as liquor prosecutor vacated
by Sexton. Now we know the rumors
and are left free to wonder who in
spired them. as rumors are usually in
spired.
Finally the Record winds up with
statement concerning the coming cleo
ton. telling of the fact that the Repub-
lican machine is being well oiled for the
ward contests and saying that the city
is awakening to the need of big and
broadminded men to run the city's af-
fairs and that 1.-The people are looking
forward to year of sensible as well as
economical administration" The COM
bination of a well oiled machine and
"a sensible. economical, administra-
ton has not been prevalent in this
city for some time, which the people
have realized to their sorrow. We are
quite in accord with the belief that the
city needs big men in it's affairs and
wonder how many men of big calibre
will consent to become a cog in a
machine.
New Britain herald., 1921-03-24

At first glance an action taken by
the Common Council last night might
seem a paradox-a taking of oppo-
site stands on two matters very much
alike.
The Common Council adopted the
plan to reduce the "City Meeting.
to- a "City Meeting Board" 1t rec
ognized the practical impossibility of
obtaining intelligent action in a body
composed of anywhere from two or
three up to hundreds or thousands.
Therefore it agreed to the proposed
revision of the charter which will
give to a body of 1s6 men the power
formerly vested in the "city meet
ing"
At the same time the Common
Council rejected the proposed amend
ment to reduce its own mum berIt now
consists of thirty members.
But perhaps there is no paradox
shown in this action. There is a
happy medium in all things. of
course. Certainly the Common Coun-
Gil should be representative. 1t may
be argued that a smaller number
could not be representative. The re-
duction in the Number of people who
might vote at a city meeting had to
be made. Such reduction is not alb
solutely necessary in the Common
Council. although there is much ir-
relevant discussion at it's sessions, di
rectly due, it is believed, to it's mum.
Der of representatives. A smaller
body would be able to transact the
city's business with more intelligence
and dispatch.
Be that as il may the Common
Council may be quite correct in its
decision to retain thirty members.
Thirty may be the magical number
which is able to accomplish most.
And it is barely possible, too, that
some members of the Council did not
wish to make it a more difficult mat
ter to gain a seat therein than it is at
present.
New Britain herald., 1921-03-24

the feeling is inspired by the belief
practically amounting to knowledge that
he boasted of his ability to escape the
arms of the United States-that he re-
manned loyal to Germany and boasted
of it, telling his friends on the other
side how easy it was.
One is reminded of a story published
recently in a leading weekly. 1t
describes the awful actions of a man in
this country, born in another, and his
boasting of the ease with which he
could handle 'Americans-that they
were so easy" The end of the tale
deals with the punishment inflicted upon
him by a lowly person who took the
law into his own hands-a little earlier
than the law which was closing in on
him.
May Bergdoll's punishment be legally
imposed, but may it come to him some
day. And in the meantime we shall not
forget.

MOVE TO REDUCE
COUNCIL DEFEATED
Sewer Assessment Increase Is
Also DOWned

Proposed charter amendments to
reduce the numerical strength Of the
common council from so to IS menu
bers. exclusive Of the mayor, and to
increase the sewer assessment max
imum from $1.75 to So a front foot
were disapproved by the common
council at a special session held last
evening for the purpose OF acting
upon the report OF the charter -revi-
sion committee. The meeting adopt
ed the charter revision providing for
the inauguration of city meeting
board plan and took favorable action
on an amendment prohibiting the
charge Of double costs in cases of
appeal from the city court to the court
OF common pleas. A proposal for the
establishment of a pension fund for
police and 1remen injured while in
service was introduced. The council
authorized the appointment of
committee of three to bring up the
matter two years from now. and to
investigate in the meantime. This aft
ernoon at 2 o'clock, the amendments
will. come before the committee on
cities and boroughs for ratification.
Kerwin Is Opposed.
Councilman M. T. Kerwin took ex-
ception last night to the clause in
the city meeting board plan which
would exclude city employees, COM
missioners or officials from election as
delegates to the convention. He moved
to strike out that part of the plan.
