PARK CHURCH MEN HEAR
NEW LONDON MAYOR

NEW LONDON MAYOR SPEAK
Mayor Lucius E. Whiton, of New
London, first mayor Of that city under
the council-manager form Of government,
was the speaker Friday night at the
Osgood parish house before the Feb
ruary meeting of Park Church Mems
club, introduced by President Telley
z. Babcock after Rev. DR.. S. H. Howe
had opened the meeting with prayer.
Mayor Wilton gave an interesting ex-
position of the adoption of the council
manager form of government in New
London. Years ago, he said, the ward
system was introduced in New London
and experience has shown that the ward
system has in it the elements Of an in
ferior kind of political control In the
ward system, combined with the city
meeting it comes to be an unpleasant
task to oppose some undesirable object
which group desires to put through.
The situation was ripe in New London
for change and the public movement
for the council-manager form of gov
eminent was sponsored by the Rotary
club. Political conditions were unfort-
unate in New London and the move for
| the new charter was in the interests of
better government.
| Under the new form of the city gov
| eminent, nomination is by petition, de
| ing away with the caucus system. The
council of seven men is an absolute gov
| erning board as there is 10 appeal to the
j city meeting. Anyone can propose to
| the council any matter in which he is
interested. The council elooses It's
| chairman who takes the title of mayor
| It acts through an officer known as city
manager who is an administrative Officer
charged with carrying out the orders
| of the council. Members of the council
are prohibited from influencing the city
manager i'll the appointment of officials
Conditions are becoming changed fol-
the better in New Londons said Mayor
| Wilton
The club gave him a vote of thank:
for his talk and reffkShments were
served.
